INTRODUCTION
1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE The Indian textile Industry is one of the largest and most important sectors in the economy in terms of output, foreign exchange earnings and employment in India. It includes several sub-sectors: spinning, weaving, knitting and garments. It also uses different materials like cotton, jute, wool, silk, man-made and synthetic fibers. The textile industry has three main sectors: the organized mill sector (traditional weaving and spinning), the power loom sector (mechanized looms) and the handloom sector. The total production of fabrics in all the three sectors combined was around 42 billion square meters, with 59 percent of the total fabric production produced by the power loom sector, 19 percent by the handloom sector, 17 percent by the knit (hosiery) yarn sector, and the rest by the organized mill sector. The large share of power looms (an intermediate category of looms, operated by power) has resulted from a government policy that supports the unorganized sector in the form of reservation of product categories, mandatory export entitlement quotas, and input pricing interventions. The textile industry in India makes an enormous and multi-directional contribution to the domestic economy of the country. The sector accounts for a significant portion of the total industrial output of the country and plays a vital role in the countrys economy with regard to employment and foreign exchange. The industry has witnessed a phenomenal growth during the last four decades. It accounts for 9% of GDP, for nearly 20% of the total national industrial production and 35% of the export earnings, making it Indias largest net foreign exchange industry. It directly employs 35 million workers and has widespread forward and backward linkages with the rest of the economy, thus providing
11
indirect employment to many more millions. In addition, Indias economic situation has improved dramatically since the Indian government introduced new economic reforms in 1991, leading to liberalization in government policies and a significant increase in its foreign exchange reserve position. Textile Exports The textile products continue to play an important role in the total export basket of the country. The data about export targets for 2004-05. For 2004-05 the target for the export of textiles has been fixed at US$ 15,160 million, against US$13,500 million set during 2003-04. Textile exports recorded a growth of 15.3% in 2002-2003 and 6.0% in 2003-2004.During the period April-November2004,textile exports were US$ 8348.5million, recording a growth of 4.6% as compared 6% to the corresponding period of previous year. The export of cotton textiles comprising yarn, fabrics and made-ups (Mill made / Power loom/Handloom) constitute more than 2/3rd of exports of all fibers/yarns/made-ups. Cotton textiles exports recorded a growth of 9.1% in2002-03 and 4.2% in 2003-04. During the period April-November 2004, cotton textile exports including handlooms were US$2144.1 million, recording a growth of 5.4%as compared to the corresponding period of previous year.

Introduction Labour welfare is an important facet of industrial relations, the extra dimension, giving satisfaction to the worker in a way which even a good wage cannot. With the growth of industrialization and mechanization, it has acquired added importance. The worker cannot cope with the pace of modern life with minimum sustenance amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and soul together. Employers have also realized the importance of their role in providing these extra amenities. And yet, they are not always able to fulfill workers demands however reasonable they might be. They are primarily concerned with the viability of the enterprise. Labour welfare, though it has been proved to contribute to the efficiency in production, is expensive. Each employer depending on his priorities gives varying degrees of importance to labour welfare. It is because the government is not sure that all employers are progressive minded and will provide basic welfare measures that it introduces statutory legislation from time to time to bring about some measure of uniformity in the basic amenities available to industrial workers. Today, Labour welfare has been generally accepted by employers. The State only intervenes to widen the area of applicability. It is now accepted that it is a social right. The Committee on Labour Welfare (CLW), formed in 1969 to review the labour welfare scheme, described it as social security measures that contribute to improve the conditions under which workers are employed in India. The author Vaid considers it as an expression of the assumption by industry of its responsibility for its employees. Though industrial workers are generally better paid, their conditions of work, and often poorer living conditions necessitate more than minimum amenities, and hence most statutory legislation applies to them. In a resolution in 1947, the ILO defined labour welfare as such services, facilities and amenities as adequate canteens, rest and recreation facilities arrangements for travel to and from work, and for the accommodation of workers employed at a distance from their houses, and such other services, amenities
19
and facilities as contribute to improve the conditions under which workers are employed. Industrial progress largely depends on committee labour force. The importance of labour welfare measures was accepted as early as 1931, when the Royal commission on Labour stated: The benefits, which go under this nomenclature, are of great importance to the worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The schemes of labour welfare may be regarded as a wise investment which should and usually does bring a profitable return in the form of greater efficiency Concept of Labour Welfare Welfare connotes a condition of well being, happiness, satisfaction conservation and development of human resources. The concept of welfare is necessarily elastic in character which vary in interpretations from country to country and time to time, depending on different social systems, degree of industrialization and general level of social and economic developments. The need and importance of labour welfare is being increasingly appreciated throughout the civilized world. In its inert sense it is more or less synonymous with labour condition as a whole, including labour legislations and social insurance. Another focus of interpretation centers round the voluntary or statutory nature of welfare for the working class. According to the committee on Labour Welfare, welfare services should mean: Such services, facilities, and amenities as adequate canteens, rest and recreation facilities, sanitary and medical facilities, arrangements for travel to and from place of work, and for the accommodation of workers employed at a distance from their homes; and such other services, amenities and facilities, including social security measures, as contribute to the conditions under which workers are employed.
20
Washing facilities In every factory, adequate and suitable facilities for washing shall be provided and maintained. They shall be conveniently accessible and shall be kept clean. There must be separate provisions for male and female workers. Storing and Drying facilities The State Government may make rules requiring the provision of suitable facilities for storing and drying clothing. Sitting facilities Sitting facilities must be provided for workers who have to work in a standing position, so that they may take rest when possible. When work can be done in a sitting position efficiently, the Chief Inspector may direct the provision of sitting arrangements. First Aid facilities Every factory must provide first aid boxes or cupboards. They must contain the prescribed materials and they must be in charge of persons trained in first aid treatment. Canteens facilities Where more than 250 workers are employed, the State Government may require the opening of canteen or canteens for workers. Rules may be framed regarding the food served and its management etc. Shelter facilities In every factory where more than 150 workers are employed there must be provided adequate and suitable shelters or rest rooms and a lunch room (with drinking water supply) where workers may eat meals brought by them. Such rooms must be sufficiently lighted and ventilated and must be maintained in a cool and clean condition. The standards may be fixed by the State Government.
21
Welfare officers Welfare officers must be appointed in every factory where 500 or more workers are employed. The State Government may prescribe the duties, qualifications etc. of such officers. Leave facilities Every worker who has worked for a period of 240 days or more in a factory during a calendar year shall be allowed during the subsequent calendar year, leave with wages for a number of days calculated at the rate of one day for every twenty days of work performed by him during the previous calendar year. Recreational facilities To provide the worker an opportunity to develop a sense of physical and mental discipline, in the form of music, dance, drama, games and sports, Library, paintings, hobbies and other cultural activities. Medical facilities The efficient working process needs sound health of the persons engaged therein. Unless the workers are physically and mentally healthy they cannot perform their duties effectively and smoothly. Therefore, medical care and health facilities for industrial workers form and integral part of labour welfare programme in all the countries of the world. Medical facilities for workers and their families in the form of suitably equipped first aid centers, ambulance rooms, dispensaries, for the treatment of diseases like TB, cancer, leprosy, mental disease, etc.
Housing facilities
22
Housing facilities are made available in the form of self-contained tenements with all basic facilities like electricity, sanitation and running water supply. Social Insurance measures The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 protects the working class against the hazards of sickness, maternity disablement and death due to employment injury or occupational disease. This benefit was available to casual workers also who were covered under E.S.I. Act 1948. At present five kinds of benefits were extended to workers viz; maternity benefits, disablements benefits, dependents benefits, sickness benefits, and medical benefits. Educational facilities Educational facilities for the workers and their children in the form of provision of schools, reading rooms, libraries and financial assistance. Education plays a very important part in motivating and enabling the working population for changes necessary for accelerated progress. Transport facilities The provision of adequate and cheap transport facilities to workers residing at a long distance is essential, as such a facility not only relieve the workers from strain and anxiety but also provides opportunities for greater relaxation and recreation. Provision of transport facilities also helps them in reducing the rate of absenteeism particularly when it is an employee who resides in their own housing units. Employees counseling The counseling programmes are organized on a continuous basis in enlightened organizations for the management of workers personal and emotional problems. Vocational training
23
Vocational training for the employees are conducted periodically for the benefit of the workers. Parking facilities Every Organization must provide parking facility and security arrangements at the place of parking. Trade union involvement A trade union is an essential basis of labour movement for without it, the labour movement cannot exist, because trade unions are the principal schools in which the workers learn the lesson of self-reliance and solidarity Grievance handling A formal grievance procedure has the advantage that facts rather than perceptions speak for themselves. This ensures parity of individuals and objectivity as far as treatment from management is concerned. If both parties used the grievance procedure meticulously, then firmness would not be resented because the worker wants, above all fairness in treatment. Safety measures Safety is a basic and primary requirement in a factory. Unless body, mind and life of workers are secured, smooth and proper working cant be ensured in any factory. Sections 21 to 41 of Factories Act, 1948 deals with the security and safety measures.
24
Cleanliness Every factory shall be kept clean by daily sweeping or washing the floors and workrooms and by using disinfectants where every necessary. Walls, doors and windows shall be repainted or revarnished at least once In every 5 years. Disposal of wastes The waste materials produced from the manufacturing process must be effectively disposed of wastes. Ventilation and temperature There must be provision for adequate ventilation for the circulation of fresh air. The temperature must be kept at a comfortable level. Hot parts of machines must be separated and insulated. The State Government may make rules for the keeping of thermometers in specified places and the adoption of methods which will keep the temperature low. Removal of Dust If the manufacturing process used gives off injurious or offensive dust and steps must be taken so that they are not inhaled or accumulated. The exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines must be conducted outside the factory. Artificial humidification The water used for this purpose must be pure. The State Government can frame rules regarding the process of humidification etc. The water used for humidification shall be taken from a public supply or other source of drinking water and must be effectively purified before use. The inspector of factories may, if necessary, specify the measures necessary for purifying the water.
25
There must be no overcrowding in a factory. In factories existing before the commencement of the Act there must be at least 350 c.ft.(or 55cubilc meters) of space per worker. For factories built afterwards, there must be at least 500 c.ft. (or 75 cubic meters) of space. In calculating the space, an account is to be taken of space above 14 ft. (or 5 meters) from the floor. Lighting Factories must be well lighted. Effective measures must be adopted to prevent glare or formation of shadows which might cause eye strain. Drinking water Arrangements must be made to provide a sufficient supply of wholesome drinking water. All supply points of such water must be marked drinking water. No such points shall be within 20 ft. (or 7.5 meters) of any latrine, washing place etc. Factories employing more than 250 workers must cool the water during the hot weather. Toilet facilities Every factory must provide sufficient number of latrines and urinals. There must be separate provisions for male and female workers. Latrines and urinals must be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. In factories employing more than 250 workers, they shall be of prescribed sanitary types.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION Business research is of recent origin and is largely supported by business organizations that hope to achieve competitive advantages. Research methodology lays down the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying the problem. Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problems. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. It includes the overall research design, the sampling procedure, data collection method and analysis procedure. 3.2 RESEARCH DESIGN A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. The research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted. It constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. Descriptive research Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular individual, or of a group.
30
Sampling Design/Techniques Sampling is the process of selecting a sufficient number of elements from the population, so that a study of the sample and an understanding of its properties or characteristics would make it possible for us to generalize such properties or characteristics to the population elements. Sampling design is to clearly define set of objects, technically called the universe to be studied. The sampling design used in this study is probability sampling. Sampling technique used is Stratified Random sampling. Sample size The concern, which is considered for this study, is JAMBAI KNM TEXTILES PRIVATE LIMITED, around 200 workers are working in this concern. This sample taken for the study is 100. 3.3 DATA COLLECTION METHODS While deciding about the method of data collection for the study the researcher should keep in mind the two types of data collection. Primary Data The primary datas are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character. With help of the structured questionnaire, personally administered interview technique has been used for the collection of Primary data from the respondents. Secondary Data The secondary datas are those which have already been collected by some one else and which already have been passed through the statistical process. The secondary data has been collected from the company records, journals and various websites.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
ANALYSIS Analysis is the process of placing the data in the ordered form, combining them with the existing information and extracting the meaning from them. The raw data becomes information only when they are analyzed and when put in a meaningful form. INTERPRETATION Interpretation is the process of relating various bits of information to other existing information. Interpretation attempts to answer, What relationship exists between the findings to the research objectives and hypothesis framed for the study in the beginning . ANALYSIS METHODS SIMPLE PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS The collected data is analyzed by using simple percentage method. Under this method, percentage is used to compare the data collected (or) to interpret them. CHI-SQUARE ANALYSIS Chi-square analysis is a statistical measure used in the context on sampling analysis for comparing a variance to a theoretical variance.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS
HEALTH-TEMPERATURE
63
Due to the constant running of machinery the temperature in the shop floor is very high, thus causing hardship to the workers. so, I kindly request you to install Artificial Humidifiers and fans which will make working condition for employees better. WELFARE-STORING & DRYING While doing my research, there are no proper conditions for the storage of clothing for the workers. I suggest that the company supplies adequate storing facilities to the employees. The workers also find it difficult for drying out the washed work cloths. So, it would be better if the company provides a specific area for drying. WELFARE-CANTEEN FACILITIES During the analysis, I have made to understand that the conditions regarding the canteen need to be improved. The quality of food and hot beverages is not satisfactory in view of the employees. So, the company shall kindly look into the matter and do the needful. WELFARE-HEALTH EDUCATION We should bear in mind the most of the employees are ignorant about the hazardous health conditions involved during the work. So the company educated its employees and guides them in the proper direction.

Organizations can show good performance in Health and Welfare measures. It is important for them to carry out their operations effectively. From this research I conclude that most of the employees of JAMBAI KNM TEXTILES PRIVATE LIMITED are satisfied with the Health and Welfare facilities provided by the organization with exception of a few facilities.
