1 INTRODUCTION

Labour is a prominent issue today. The country has recognized its importance
in the industrial system. The need and importance of labour welfare is being
increasingly appreciated throughout the world.

The concept has a clear objective of uplifting the workmen and providing
them wholesome and congenial life. In the modern industrial world the policy of ‘hire
and fire’ has lost its recognition. And with industrial growth, the relation between the
employer and employee also has taken a new turn. And labour welfare has become
sine qua non of each and every industry today.

The industrial progress depends upon satisfied labour force and in this
connection, the importance of labour welfare measures were adopted as early as in
1931, when Royal Commission on labour stated that “the benefits undergo these
nomenclature are of great importance to the worker. The scheme of labor may be
regarded as a wise investment, which usually brings a profitable return in the form of
great efficiency”.

Our constitution embodies certain human values, cherished principles,

recognized and upholds the dignity of man. The directive principles also recognize the
welfare of working class almost all labor legislation aim at promoting the general
welfare of labourers and improving the living condition.

The concept of labour welfare is dynamic since it bears interpretation which is

different from country to country, from place to place and even in the same country
according to its value system, social institution, degree of industrialization, and
general level of social economic development. It is also molded according to the age
group, socio-cultural background, marital status and educational levels of workers in
various industries. Still an obligation is cast on the government as well as the
employees to improve the lot of working messes.

In this modern era capital, technology and labour are the three pillars on which
any economy can rest. Labour is most pivotal as the capital and technology are the

1
creation of labour. Unfortunately Indian employers do not give much importance to
labour and they fulfill only legal requirements and no more. They think it as a liability
and not investment. But labour contributes to efficiency and productivity in the long
run and labour welfare helps for good and harmonious relation and also the
development of physical and mental health. Industrial production and profit will go up
if proper attention is paid towards labour welfare.

With this idea in mind an analytical study is made in this paper about the
implementation of labour and safety measures provided for the employees of CAMPO
chocolate manufacturing unit situated at Puthur.

1.2 CONCEPT OF LABOUR WELFARE AND SAFETY.

“The term welfare as applied to industrial workers is one which must

necessarily be elastic, bearing a somewhat different interpretation in one country from
another according to the different social customs, the degree of industrialization and
the educational development of the workers”

The concept of labour welfare is very comprehensive and includes various

types of activities undertaken for the economic, social, intellectual or moral benefit of
the labor community. The term ‘welfare’ suggests many ideas, meaning and
connotations, such as the state of well-being, health, happiness, prosperity and the
development of human resources. Since the word ‘labour’ means any productive
activity, it has both positive and negative sides associated with it. On the positive side,
it deals with the provisions of opportunities which enable the worker and his family to
lead a good life socially and personally as well as help him adjust in the social
transition in regard to his work life, family life, and social life. On the negative side,
labour welfare functions in order to neutralize the baneful effects of large scale
industrialization and provides a counterbalance to the undesirable social consequences
and the labour problems which have evolved in the process of this transition.

Welfare work in any industry should aim at improving the working and living
condition of workers and their families. The concept originated in a desire for a
humanitarian approach to ameliorate the suffering of the working class.

2
 Increasing number of accidents involving workers has drawn our attention
towards safety measures in the factories. Accidents not only affect workers loosing
their livelihood but also employers in terms of compensation to be paid to the
workers. Accidents are a significant cause of dispute between workers and
management. With the coming in of new set up of industries e.g., steel production,
engineering, fertilizers, chemicals and petro-chemicals, oil refining etc., and
increasing use of machine power, industrial complexities in terms of process of
production have increased. This has given rise to hazards and risks. Safety measures
are to be adopted against such risks and hazards. The Factories Act, 1948 has laid
down certain measures for the safety of workers employed in the factories. In this
lesson, we shall study about the safety measures in factories

1.3 DEFFINITIONS OF LABOUR WELFARE

Labour welfare has been defined in various ways, though no single definition
has found universal acceptance.
According to N M Joshi, “welfare work covers all the efforts which employers
make for the benefit of their employees over and above the minimum standards of
living working conditions fixed by factories Act, and over and above the provisions of
social legislation providing against accident, old age, employment and sickness”

1.4 MEANING OF SAFETY MESURES.

Safety measures which are provided in the Factories Act, 1948, are
considered to be minimum in terms of adequacy. Such measures are required to be
effectively implemented. In addition to implementing safety measures provided in the
Factories Act, there is also need for providing training in safety to workers, and
installing safety equipment in the factories. Employers should take the initiative in
providing training in safety to employees. Workers’ unions should take interest in
safety promotion. Periodic training courses in accident prevention can be organized.
Safety should become a habit with employers and the workers alike.

 1.5 PROBLEMS FACED BY INDIAN LABOURERS
In their work life the Indian labourers have to face a lot of problems. They have to
put in long hours of work in unhealthy surroundings. The high rate of labour
absenteeism, prey to alcoholism, gambling and other vices etc, are also rampant. This
can be set right by providing good housing, provision for health and family care, of
canteens where healthy, balanced diet is made available in congenial surroundings.
No doubt, condition of Indian laborers is poorer than that of western countries.
They require a lot of inducement and better working conditions. Industrial harmony is
maintained only when they feel that they are adequately remunerated for the work and
treated fairly by employers.
Good education and training facilities for workers, entertainment and recreation
facilities, family planning and child welfare facilities, and maternity care facilities
will assist workers in a variety of ways.

1.6 NEED FOR LABOUR WELFARE AND SAFETY MESUARES

IN INDIA
India, being a developing country, which is still going through the process of
economic development, it is somewhat easier to counter act the baneful effects of the
industrial revolution. The need for labour welfare was strongly felt as far back as in
1931. It has become essential because of the very nature of the industrial system.
Because of the socio- economic conditions and problems, which is the result of
industrial society, the need for labour welfare is realized.
 It seeks to ensure to the worker, who has no capacity to bargain with
capital on equal terms, a fair return for his labour.
 It also seeks to prevent industrial accidents with in the working
environment.
 It seeks to build a prominent working condition and prevent disputes
between employer and employees.

 1.7 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The present study can be entitled as’ A STUDY ON EFFECTIVENESS OF

LABOUR WELFARE AND SAFETY MESUARES AT CAMPCO LTD, The study
was conducted at ‘CAMPCO LTD’ to study about the effectiveness of labour
welfare and safety measures in CAMPCO ltd.

1.8 OBJECTIVES OF THE STYUDY

To find out compliance of labour welfare and safety measures adopted by

Campco and also to suggest for improvements.

 To analyze the various welfare facilities among the workers.

 To be familiar with the rules and regulations regarding safety and various Acts
enacted by the factories Act.

 Examine the satisfaction level of employees regarding labour welfare and safety
measures.

 To know the socio-demographic profile of the respondents.

 To analyze the satisfaction of these welfare facilities among the workers.

 To analyze the awareness of various facilities to the workers.

1.9 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This study is limited to employees of CAMPCO chocolate factory puthur.
This research is undertaken in order to find out the implementation of labour welfare
and safety measures. This study will be used as a tool to improve the condition of
safety measures and labour welfare within the factory.

1.10 IMPORTANCE OF STUDY

Since labour welfare has an important, positive and dynamic role to play in the
industrial society, particularly in developing countries, a proper organization and
administration of welfare facilities can play a vital role in promoting better working

5
conditions and living standards for industrial workers and also increasing their
productivity. Indirectly it is helpful to the employees also therefore the study is
important from the point of labors as well as employers. Since it will help the former
it improves their living conditions and the later to have more productivity.

1.11 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Since labour welfare and safety is a dynamic concept and I have taken
only fifty employees of Campco, the whole area of labour welfare can’t be
enlightened.

 The employees of CAMPCO work in all three shifts; this made difficulty for the
investigator to approach employees other than general shift in order to collect the
information.

 The time is main factor; it is difficult to get information because the campco
puthur had little time to spend with me because of busy schedule.

 This study is limited to operating level workers and non-managerial employees.

 Some employees hesitated to answer the questionnaire.

 Sample size is very small and therefore no true picture come

  2.1 INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY

Chocolates began during the times of the Mayas and the Aztecs when they
beat cocoa into a pulp and made bitter frothy chocolate out of it. They first became
popular in Europe in a highly unrefined form. Then the Hershey Food Company was
the first to bring out chocolates in the currently popular solid form. The main
ingredients of chocolate is cocoa grown mainly on equatorial zones and of the
consumers looks for variety he goes in for some of that company’s own sugar milk
solids and permitted emulsifiers. Cocoa constitutes nearly 40% of the total raw
material cost. The following report studies the chocolate industry in India and in
particular the position of the chocolate brand - Cadbury. The brand name chosen is
the umbrella brand as it was felt that the corporate name is recognized as a brand and
not so much as an individual product. The study focuses on the marketing and the
advertising, employed by Cadbury in the context of the Indian macro environment
and industry structure. The advertising strategy is studied with respect to Cadbury's
business and marketing objectives. The strategies adopted are then analyzed for each
product offering. Considering the strategies of Cadbury's major competitor follows
the analysis, nestle India ltd. to get an understanding as to where Cadbury's stands.
The report initially focuses on an examination of the industry environment and the
product class. The product then goes on to analyze the corporate, marketing and
advertising strategies adopted by the selected company and its main competitor. It
concludes by looking at the future challenges for the industry and the company.

2.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF INDUSTRY

The Maya Indians, an ancient whose descendents still live in Central America,
who first discovered the delights of cocoa as long ago as 600 AD.

The Yucatan Peninsula, a tropical area in what is now southern Mexico, where wild
cocoa trees grew, was where the Maya lived. They harvested cocoa from the rain
forest trees, and then cleared areas of low land forest to grow their own cocoa trees in
the first known cocoa plantations. A drink called “chocolate” from roasted cocoa

7
beans, water and a little spice, was their most important use but cocoa beans were also
valued as currency.

Because cocoa beans were valuable, they were given as gifts at various
ceremonies. The Maya had many complicated religious beliefs with many Gods.
EChuah, the merchant god, was closely linked with cocoa and cocoa fruits were used
at festivals in honor of this god. Merchants often traded cocoa beans for other
commodities, cloth, jade and ceremonial feathers.

Maya farmers transported their cocoa beans to market by canoe or in large baskets
strapped to their backs. Wealthy merchants traveled further employing porters to carry
their wares as there were no horses, pack animals or wheeled cart in Central America
at that time. Some ventured as far as Mexico the land of Aztees, so introducing them
to the much priced cocoa beans.

The word “chocolate” is said to derive from the Mayan “xocotal” .The Mexican
Indian word ”chocolate” comes from a combination of terms choco (“foam”)and at
(“water”); early chocolate was only consumed in beverage form.

2.3 GROWTH OF INDUSTRY.

By the 1990s, chocolate has proven its popularity as a product, and its success
as a big business. Annual world consumption of cocoa beans averages approximately
600000 tons, and per capita consumption greatly on the rise. Chocolate manufacturing
in the United States is a multibillion -dollar industry.

From the three original chests of cocoa beans that Cortes exported to Spain
in1519, the world exports in 1977 were 1.5 million metric tons, one fifth of which
went to the USA. Evan with this massive amount the USA only ranks 10th in the
world for consumption: 4.5kg per head per annum, far behind the number one
consumers; the Swiss with 9.5kg per annum.

Chocolate is a recipe product and different traditions and tastes have

developed in different countries of the world. Plain chocolate is the most popular on
the continent and their chocolate has a higher level of cocoa solids giving it a much

8
stronger flavor. Milk chocolate is the preferred choice in the UK, while the Americans
favor dark chocolate with the smoky flavors of South American beans.

Another important difference between the recipe traditions of continental

and UK chocolates is the kind of milk used. Continental manufacturers use dried milk
powder, often mixed with whey powder while in the UK the very best milk chocolate
is made with fresh milk .It is the special flavors produced when fresh milk, cocoa
mass and sugar are cooked together in the first stages of the chocolate making
process. These figures will soon and maybe already have changed due to the new
European laws that restrict what can and cannot be called “chocolate”.

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY

The Central Areca nut and cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative
limited (CAMPCO), was born and registered on 11 July 1973 under the section 7 of
the Karnataka co-operative Act of 1959 and with section of 4(2) of multi unit co-
operative Act 1942 and subsequently it amended its bylaws and some are the
registered the under the multi state co-operative society Act 1984 certified number
1/11016/42/87/1 &M dated 8th December 1988.

The younger of 30 years old with vigor and valor, it had taken giant steps in its
toddling stage itself to fulfill the growers aspiration undisputedly, CAMPCO can
claim the credit of establishing the areca and cocoa market. The CAMPCO
encouraging the growers to grow cocoa as an intercrop to areca nut as cocoa has an
international market.

The principles of buyer of cocoa till 1980 suddenly stopped buying cocoa
during the peak cocoa season due to slump in international cocoa price. To safeguard
the interest of its growers CAMPCO had to enter into Indian cocoa market also.
Cocoa was bought in from of wet beans from the farmers. The CAMPCO has been
furnishing the cocoa growers with cocoa saplings to the tune of 100000 at free cost to
promote the cultivation of cocoa. Adopting scientific methods of fermentation and
drying. CAMPCO could successfully expert quality cocoa beans to European
countries. Perceiving the future necessity of cocoa products and market strategy for
cocoa, with the supporting nod from the central government of Karnataka and Kerala,
CAMPCO had curved a niche by establishing a biggest chocolate factory in South
East Asia, located in Puttur – taluk headquarter located 50Km away from the coastal
city Mangalore.

CAMPCO set with active support of Karnataka and Kerala government. The
government of Karnataka constituted an expert committee which recommended to the
state government either on the public or cooperative sector with the blessing of the
government of Karnataka and Kerala. The Central Areca nut and Cocoa Marketing
and Processing Co-operative Limited popularly it is known as CAMPCO. CAMPCO
is co-operative area extends to the state of Karnataka and Kerala government produce

10
nearly 72 per cent of the total production in the country. The average yield is 14.5per
cent quintals in Karnataka 7.0per cent quintals in Kerala as against the Indian million
people all over India are engaged the production processing and trade.

Cocoa cultivation is of recent origin in India, being an inter crop it has

a great potential for growth in the vast plantation of areca and coconut in southern
state of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and most recently in a few places of Andhra
Pradesh. CAMPCO through its good efforts over the years had been able to install a
sense of confidence in the cocoa cultivators through its procurement policy that has
ensured reasonable prices to them. In purport of this, CAMPCO has decided to
establish cocoa liquor, butter and powder processing facilities and chocolate
manufacturing plant as an extension of its activities for achieving its overall corporate
objective of safeguarding the interest of cocoa growers with better economic return.

3.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CAMPCO.

The growers of Areca also cultivating Cocoa as an intercrop, initially the

manufacturers of Cocoa based products encouraged the growers, but then
international price of Cocoa crashed, they restored to imports leaving the Cocoa
growers in lurch. The “CAMPCO” Central Areca nut and Cocoa Marketing and
Processing Co-operative Ltd are a co-operative society. The growers appealed to their
governments for help and these governments in turn requested CAMPCO to help out
the farmers by buying their produce. CAMPCO thus went into Cocoa business in
1980. The government of Kerala has extended exemption from sales tax on the
turnover of Cocoa beans made by CAMPCO and withdrew the exemption with effect
from 1-1-94. The Karnataka government has extended sales tax benefit on Cocoa
beans turnover to all co-operative societies in Karnataka.

The Central Areca nut and coca Marketing and Processing Co-operative
limited (CAMPCO), was born and registered on 11 July 1973 under the section 7 of

breaking down existing complex factor into simple parts and putting the parts together
in new arrangement for the purpose of interpretation. Thus the goal of analysis is to
summaries the data in such a way that they provide answer to the question that the
research interprets.

Interpretation is the research for the broader means of research findings through
interpretation the meaning and implementation becomes clear.

Analysis is not complete method interpretation cannot proceed without analysis

systematically. So as to arrive and findings through interpretation there are two
method to analyze collected data one method through graphical figure representation
and the other through table.

6.2 ANALYTICAL TABLE WITH EXPLANATION

 7.1 FINDINGS

The main objectives of the study aim at finding on labour welfare and safety
measures at CAMPCO. To fulfill the objectives, the data has been collected through
questionnaire and it was analyzed in previous chapter. The analysis of data based on
empirical evidence and the observation made some findings.

By completing this project entitled “A STUDY ON LABOUR WELFARE AND

SAFETY MESUARES AT CAMPCO.” I found the following important information.

 It was found that the service rules of Campco are very good and they give
mare attention to improve employee’s welfare.

 It was observed that in campo’s working environment is very clean and

hygienic.

 It was observed that trade union play a main role in the factory, because here
all employees are join a single trade union that is Hindu Masthur Sabha
(HMS).

7.2 SUGGESTIONS

Labour welfare in an industry is the enrichment and growth of human

personality in the broader perspective. Each factory workers need sufficient safety
measures and labour welfare. As already seen in the previous chapters, the
constituents of labour welfare includes working hours, conditions, safety, industrial
health, etc. Thus Labour welfare measures should aim at enabling the workers to live
richer and more satisfactory lives.

Safety measures are those measures that will protect employees from some
industrial accidents. Labour welfare measures are not a substitute for wages. The
employer in an undertaking should always keep in mind that cultivation of labour
welfare measures will cultivate efficiency among workers and the employer in turn
will be the beneficiary.

52
 It should be noted that here labour welfare and safety measures are not a substitute
for wages and all. The employer in an undertaking should always keep in mind that
cultivation of labour welfare and safety measures will cultivate efficiency among
workers and employer in turn will be the beneficiary.

CAMPCO shows that the labour welfare and safety measure undertaken by the unit is
satisfactory. Still, following are some of the suggestion for the improvement in the
existing system.

• Protecting the workers against any health hazard which may arise out of their work
or the condition in which it is carried on.
• Contributing towards the workers physical and mental adjustment in particular by
the adaptation of the workers to the job they are suited.
• Maintenance of the highest possible degree of physical and mental well being of the
workers
• Medical facilities should be provided to the workman, free of charge
• Equal pay for equal work should be ensuring irrespective of sex.
• Education facilities should be provided to all the workers.
• Training program should be made modern and practical.
• Every respondent should be insured by self and organization.
• Safety provisions should be applied for every employee in the organization.

7.3 CONCLUSION

India introduced liberal industrial policy which is aimed at stepping up industrial

growth promo timing modernization and technological up gradation to make
industrial competitive in both domestic and global market. In this perspective
enterprises have to improve their production and productivity which is possible with
the satisfaction of labour.

Even today’s scientific development of modern techno-production methods

higher productivity depends on workers. If they are rightly directed and fully used, if
would make a great contribution to the prosperity of the enterprises.

53
 The high rate of labour absenteeism in Indian industries is indicative of the lack
of commitment of the part of the workers. This can be reduced to a great extent by
provision of good housing, health and family care, canteens, educational and training
facilities. Provision of welfare activities enables the workers to live a richer and more
satisfactory life and contributors to the productivity of labour, efficiency of the
enterprise and helps in maintaining industrial peace. Hence steps need to be taken on
a larger scale to improve the quality of life of the workers. As rightly observed
Mahatma Gandhi, “Labour can always vindicate itself if labour is sufficiently united
and self sacrificing. No matter how oppressive the capitalists may be … if labour
would only understand and recognize that capital is perfectly helpless without labour,
labour will immediately come to its own” thus proper attention may be given to
industrial workers so that may increase their efficiency, industrial production may go
up and ultimately the society at large may be the beneficiary
