INTRODUCTION

1.1 ABOUT THE STUDY

“Welfare” is broad concept referring to a state of living of an individual or group, in a desirable relationship
with the total environment –ecological, economic and social. Labor welfare includes both the social and economic
contents of welfare. Social welfare is primarily concerned with the solution of various problems of the weaker
sections of society like the prevention of destitution, poverty, etc.

It aims at social development by such means as social legislation, social reform, social services, social work,
social action, etc. The object of economic welfare is to promote economic development by increasing production and
productivity and through equitable distribution. Labor welfare is a part of social welfare, conceptually and
operationally. It covers a broad field and connotes a state of well-being, happiness, satisfaction, conservation and
development of human resources.

Labor welfare may be viewed as a total concept, as a social concept and as a relative concept. The total concept
is a desirable state of existence involving the physical, mental, moral and emotional well-being. These four elements
together constitute the structure of welfare, on which its totality is based. The social concept of welfare implies the
welfare of man, his family and his community. All these aspects are inter-related and work together in a three
dimensional approach. The relative concept of welfare is relative in time and place. It is a dynamic and flexible
concept and hence its meaning and concept differ from time, region, industry to industry and general standard of the
socio-economics development of the people.

Labor welfare means working out things for the well-being of the labors. Knowing there wants and enabling
them to fulfill there wants.

Oxford dictionary defines Labor welfare as efforts to make life worth life worth living for workmen.

R. R. Hopkins defines welfare is fundamentally an attitude of mind on the part part of the management
influencing the methods by which management activities are undertaken.

Labor welfare activities in an industrialized society has far reaching impact not only on the work force but also
all the facts of human resources. Labor welfare includes all such activities, which not only secures existential
necessities but also ensures improvement in spiritual and emotional quotient. It comprises of short terms and long
terms goal toward building a humane society. As labor welfare is a dynamic concept, changes in its principles
activities and the rationale supporting them have not been static. They closely follow the stages of advancement of the
industrialized society – from police Theory to Functional Theory. Accordingly principles for successful
implementation of labor welfare activities ranges from adequacy of wages to impact on efficiency as well as
transformation of personality in nut shell, it is extension of democratic values in an industrialized society.

Theories of Labor welfare Activities have been formulated on the conviction that it is man behind the machine
who is responsible for achieving mission of an organization. A person can deliver at his best only when he is satisfied
and committed to the cause. To keep the employees motivated and committed various welfare facilities are provided
by the organization not only to the employees but also to the family member. The terms ‘Welfare’ expresses many
ideas, meaning and connotations, such as the state of well being, health, happiness, prosperity and the development of
human resources. It includes both the social and economic aspects of welfare. The social concept of welfare implies
the welfare of man, his family and his community. All these three aspects are inter-related and work together.

The word labor means any production activity. In a broader sense, therefore the phrase labor welfare means the
adoption of measures to promote the physical, social, psychological and general well being of the working population.
Welfare work in any industry aims or should aim at improving the working and living conditions of workers and their
families. The concept of labor welfare activities, however, is fixable, elastic and differs from time, region to region,
industry and industry and country to country, depending upon the value system, level of education, social customs,
degree of industrializations and the general standard of socio-economic development of a people.

OBJECTIVES OF LABOUR WELFARE ACTIVITIES

Improving the efficiency of the labour is another objective of labour welfare activities. Efficiency gives double
reward, one in the form of increased production and the other in the shape of higher wages due to achievement of
higher productivity. Welfare activities add to their efficiency and efficiency in turn help the worker to earn more
wages. Therefore, welfare activities in an organization are twice blessed. It helps the employer and the employee both.

Another objectives of welfare activities is to secure the labour proper human conditions of work and living.
Working conditions of organization may be led by an artificial environment which features are dust, fumes, noise,
unhealthy temperature, etc. The welfare activities are done to minimize the hazardous effect on the life of the workers
and their family members. It is the duty of the employer to see these human needs, it can be seen that they are guided
by purposes of humanitarian and social justice.

The next objective of welfare activities is to add in real way to the low earning of the labour. The facilities are
provided to supplement the income of the workers by services such as housing, medical assistance, school, co-
operative, canteens, stores, playgrounds etc.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

India Spinning Industry has gone from strength to strength since a very long time now as it was the hub of
cotton manufacturing. Cotton is not only consumed to the highest extent in India but it has also become one of the
most profitable textiles in the export industry.

Spinning in India can be classified into 2 categories: medium and long staple. But there was a shortfall in the
'extra-long' category that continued for many years. There was a massive downfall in the cotton spinning in India
during 2004-2005. The production rate of cotton was about 4 lakh bales that was less by 5 lakh bales from the
required rate which was 9 lakh bales. The present downfall in the cotton production has witnessed a 50% increase in
the price of Indian varieties of ELS, which is detrimental for the spinning industry in India.

To survive this downfall in the cotton trade which is a highly profitable textile in the India Spinning Industry,
CITI-CDRA is conducting a conference with various research organizations such as CICR (Nagpur), JNKVV (Khandwa),
UAS (Dharwad), and Regional Textile Mills' Association in R&D activities. It conducted a discussion pertaining to the
development of new varieties of seeds and adopting the advanced procedure of cultivation which will add to the profit
in the cotton textile sector of the spinning industry. The most important and efficient step towards the resurgence of
cotton manufacturing would be to develop the ELS varieties with lesser duration crops and yield to cost-effectiveness
and consistency in cultivation. This will not only motivate the farmers but will also make them stick to the desired
sector of cotton.
The yarn spinning industry covers almost 25 percent of the total industrial production of one of the world's
10 largest economies. Trends are reviewed every year in accordance with the need and fashion. An elaborate and
detailed assessment is made on various sectors of the yarn spinning such as, production, consumption, and materials.
The legislative and the political consequences are also reviewed at the same time. In addition to it, other areas that
are being reviewed in the yarn spinning sector are exports, imports, prices, advertising, and sales promotion patterns

The Spinning Industry in India is on set to hit the global market with other fabrics as well like the cotton
textiles with its enthusiasm and consistency in work. It has already reached a phenomenal status in India by beating
the obstacles that caused a downfall since past few years and is now on its way to cover a wider area in the spinning
sector. Boilers were of the wagon type; chimneys were square or rectangular, attached to the mill, and in some cases
part of the stair column. The later mills had gas lighting using gas produced on site. The mules with 250-350 spindles
were placed transversely to get as much light as possible.

From 1825 the steam engine was able to power larger machines which were constructed from iron using
improved machine tools. Mills from 1825-1865 were generally constructed with wooden beamed floors and lath and
plaster ceilings. William Fairbairn experimented with cast iron beams and concrete floors. Mills were of red brick or
sometimes local stone, but there was a greater attention to decoration, with pilasters, and the main gate was often
highlighted with stone decoration.

The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a massive raw material and textiles
manufacturing base. Our economy is largely dependent on the textile manufacturing and trade in addition to other
major industries. About 27% of the foreign exchange earnings are on account of export of textiles and clothing alone.
The textiles and clothing sector contributes about 14% to the industrial production and 3% to the gross domestic
product of the country. Around 8% of the total excise revenue collection is contributed by the textile industry.
