rasipram

ABSTRACT

The present study was under taken with such a task in mind and it aims at unearthing the
strengths and weakness of the welfare measures in Mallur Siddeswara spinning Mills (P) Ltd
rasipuram that is prevalent in the organization that sponsored this project work.

Since organizations exist to achieve goals. The degree of success that individual
employees have in reaching their individuals goals is important in determining organizational
effectiveness. The assessment of how successful employees have been at meeting their
individual goals, therefore, becomes a critical part of Human Resource Management. This leads
us to the topic of Employees Welfare measures.

This project aims at knowing “Welfare System”. In this project the work atmosphere and
the welfare measures provided by the organization has studied.

It also aims at finding out the employee’s relationship with the management.

This survey is done within the organization. The sample size is 150. The data was
collected by administering questionnaire and by adopting direct personal contact method. The
persons met are all employees of the concern.

Collections of data were analyzed and tabulated in a sequential manner and the
interpretations are given along with the tabulation. The conclusion and suggestions are also given
in this report for the improvement of this system in the organization.

 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

“Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions”. Employee welfare means the efforts to
make life worth living for workman.

“Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions”. People are the most important asset
of an organization, and the accounting profession has to assess and record the value and cost of

6
people of an organization. Once this is accepted, the need for measuring the value for recording
it in the books of accounts arises. The value of human assets can be increased substantially by
making investment in their training and welfare activities in the same way as the value of repairs/
overhauling, etc.

While the cost on training, development, etc., can be recorded separately and to be within the
eventual, the expenditure on welfare activities can be added to the ‘investment’ and the returns
judged. Unlike other assets which have depreciation value as year’s passes by, value of human
assets appreciates with passing years. The value can depreciate by aging process which is
generally hastened up by worries, unhealthy conditions, etc. once this process is slowed down, or
at least if the employee is made to feel ‘young in spirits’ the value of this asset appreciates
considerably.

Any investment constitutes the assets of a company and therefore, any investment for welfare of
labor would constitute an extra investment in an asset. Industrial progress depends on a satisfied
labor force and the importance of labor welfare measures was stressed as early as1931, when the
Royal Commission on labor 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 labor
welfare may be regarded as a “wise investment” which should and usually does bring a
profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.

The basic features of labor welfare measures are as follows:

1. Labor welfare includes various facilities, services and amenities provided to workers for
improving their health, efficiency, economic betterment and social status.

2. Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits available
to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining

3. Labor welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are added

7
 to the existing ones from time to time.

4. Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers, government, employees or by

any social or charitable agency.

5. The purpose of labor welfare is to bring about the development of the whole personality
of the workers to make a better workforce.

The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and
satisfied labor force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their
work life better and also to raise their standard of living. The important benefits of welfare
measures can be summarized as follows:

 They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy
work environment

 Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation facilities
for workers’ families help in raising their standards of living. This makes workers to pay
more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity.

 Employers get stable labor force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take active
interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation.

 Employee welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote

healthy industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace.

 The social evils prevalent among the labors such as substance abuse, etc are reduced to a
greater extent by the welfare policies.

The concept of ‘labor welfare’ is flexible and elastic and differs widely with times, regions,
industry, country, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the general socio-
economic development of the people and the political ideologies prevailing at particular
moments. It is also according to the age group, socio-cultural background, marital status,
economic status and educational level of the workers in various industries.

1.1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Definition of Research

“The manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend,
correct or verity knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the
practice of an art.”
- D.Slesinger and M.Stephenson

1.1.5.1 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.
Regarding this project, descriptive research design concern with describing the perception of
each individuals or narrating facts on welfare measures and diagnostic design helps in determine
the frequency with which something occurs or it’s associated with something else. These two
research design help in understand the characteristic in a given situation. Think systematically
about aspects in given situation, offers idea for probe and research help to make certain simple
decision.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

In this research it deals with descriptive research type. It includes surveys and fact-finding
enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the
state of affairs as it exists at present.

12
1.1.5.2 SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is a definite plan determined before any data are actually collected
for obtaining a sample from a given population. Sampling is used to collect data from limited
numbers whereas census is used for large numbers. For the research, sampling method was used.

There are different types of sample design based on two factor namely the representation
basis and the element selection technique .There are two main categories under which various
sampling method can be put. There are

1. Probability sampling
2. Non probability sampling
In this particular research the A study is on probability sampling. And in the simple random
sample is used.

PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Probability sampling is based on the concept of random selection; the sample may be
either unrestricted or restricted. When each sample elements is drawn individually from the
population at large, then the sample so drawn is known as ‘unrestricted sample’, Where as all
other forms of sampling are covered under the term ‘restricted sample’.
The most frequently used probability samples are:
 Simple random sample
 Systematic sample
 Stratified sample (proportionate & disproportionate)
 Cluster sample

NON- PROBABILITY SAMPLING:

Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis for
estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the sample.
 Judgment sampling
 Convenient sampling
 Quota sampling.
 Snowball sampling

13
SAMPLING METHOD

In this research systematic sampling method is used to collect the primary data by
using questionnaire.

SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING

A Systematic sample is selected at random sampling. When a complete list of the population is
available, this method is used. If a sample of 10 students is to be selected from 100 students,
under this method kth item is picked up from the sample frame and k is the sample interval.

POPULATION SIZE

The over all population size is 500 .

SAMPLE SIZE:

The total sample size of 110 has been taken for this study. Both male and female
employees have been interviewed.

1.1.5.3 DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Primary Source of Data

Primary data is known as the data collected fro the first time through field survey. Such
data are collected with specific set of objectives to assess the current status of any variable
studied.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:

In this project, the data were collected through structured questionnaire.

QUESTIONNAIRE

A questionnaire is a schedule consisting of a number of coherent and formulated

series of question related to the various aspects of the under study. In this method a pre – printed
list of question arranged in sequence is used to elicit response from the important.

Types of questions

The following are the types of questions, which are used in research. They are:

a) Open ended question

14
 b) Close ended question
a) Open ended questionnaire:
An open-ended question gives the respondents complete freedom to decide the form
length and detail of the form.

b) Close ended questionnaire:

The close-ended question is of two types they are as follows:
i) Dichotomous question
This type has only tow answers in the form of “YES” or “NO”, “TRUE” or
“FALSE” etc…

ii) Multiple – choice question.

In this case the respondents are offered two or mores choices and the respondent
have to indicate which is applicable in the following cases.

1.1.5.4 STATISTICAL TOOLS APPLIED

 Percentage Analysis
 Weighted Average
 One-way ANOVA

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:

Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentage analysis test is done to find out the
percentage of the response of the respondents. In these tool various percentage are presented by
the way of Bar-diagram, Pie charts in order to have better understanding of the analysis.

FORMULA:

Number of respondents

Percentage = ------------------------------------------------ × 100

Total number of respondent

WEIGHTED AVERAGE:

15
 Mean in which each item being averaged is multiplied by a number (weight) based on the
item's relative importance. The result is summed and the total is divided by the sum of the
weights. Weighted averages are used extensively in descriptive statistical analysis such as index
numbers. Also called weighted mean.
FORMULA:

WEIGHTED AVERAGE = ΣWXi / ΣWi

ΣWXi = The sum of weights (let x1, x2, x3… xn)

ΣXi = occur with weights (w1, w2, w3…wn)

ONE-WAY ANOVA:

Under the one-way ANOVA, we consider only one factor and then observe that the reason for
said factor to be important is that several possible types of samples can occur within that factor .

This ratio is used to judge whether the difference among several means is significant or is just a
matter of sampling fluctuations.

1.1.6 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

 Time is the important limitation. Due to time constraints only limited population is taken

16
 for the study.

 Findings based on this study cannot be used in other organizations.

 There are chances of misrepresentation responses.

 The biased view of the respondent is another cause of the limitation

1.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

P.L. Rao, in his “Labour Legislation in the Making”, opines that professional bodies like
National Institute of Personnel Management should constitute a standing committee to monitor
the proceedings in the Parliament regarding the labour welfare measures.

“Cooperative Unionism and Employee Welfare” by Michael R. White , (University of

17
Westminster - Policy Studies Institute) , Industrial Relations Journal, Vol. 36, No. 5, pp. 348-
366, September 2005.
   
Using British national survey data, this article assesses the impact of unions on management
practices to reduce labour costs, implement high-performance work systems, and make employee
welfare provisions. Relative to non-union workplaces, those with unions are found to have
practices which are consistent with 'mutual gains' outcomes.

“Staff development and employee welfare practices and their effect on productivity”

Ghana Library Journal Vol. 19 (1) 2007 pp. 83-96

Staff development and employee welfare are valuable assets in an organization since an
organization's primary aims are productivity and profitability. Every organization primarily
needs committed and dedicated staff that will help the organization to meet its tactical and
strategic objectives.

The study examines whether staff development policies exist in three special libraries in Ghana,
and whether training programmes are being offered to increase staff competence, efficiencies
and performance. It was also aimed at assessing staff welfare practices and how these affect
productivity and performance.

In conducting the survey, two sets of questionnaires were drawn up. One set was administered to
management and the other set went to Library staff. The survey revealed that all the
organizations under study have staff development policies and training programmes for staff to
enhance their capabilities and efficiency. Again, the survey revealed that staff welfare is catered
for since several motivational avenues and incentive packages are available to boost their morale.

INDUSTRY PROFILE AND

COMPANY PROFILE

18
INDUSTRY PROFILE

The present chapter discusses the origin of spinning mills, growth of textile mills,
growth of spinning mills composite mills in India, textile industries in India, production of
yarn by spinning industries, spinning industry in India in general and spinning mills in
Tamilnadu in particular. The growth of spinning mills, installed capacity, production of yarn
by spinning mills, workers on rolls, closure of mills, consequences of closure of mills in
India and the like are also discussed.

India is one of the biggest producer and consumer of cotton in the world. With the
introduction of cotton and better crop management practices, the average cotton yield has
81
increased from 300 kg/hectare to 550 kg/hectare . About 90% of cotton growing area is
now occupied with cotton. Cottons show higher micro naire and lower level of trash than

their non-counterparts82.

Cotton farmers grow more of long staple variety and hence there is shortage in

availability of short staple and extra long staple cottons 83. Most of the imports are Extra

Long Staple (ELS) and cotton from the U.S., Egypt, and West Africa 84. The quality of fibre
produced is also of major concern. Indian cotton lacks the tenacity and colour of imported
cotton varieties. The short fibre content is also high.

The minimum support price set by the government was often found inadequate by the
farmers as their cost of cultivation has gone high due to increase in input costs. Adding to
this are the problems of irregular rainfall, volatility in market and poor supply chain. Cotton
farmers expect cotton to be exported as much as possible, whereas the spinning mills expect
sufficient availability of cotton in the domestic market to meet cotton yarn demands and to
keep yarn prices stable. About 60 per cent of domestic cotton is consumed by the Indian

spinning industry85. The new spinning systems like air-vortex system has stringent fibre

19
requirements for trouble free processing and higher yarn quality.

20
2.2 TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

India is a traditional textile -producing country with textiles in general, and cotton in
particular, being major industries for the country. India is among the world’s top producers
of yarns and fabrics, and the export quality of its products is ever increasing. Textile
Industry is one of the largest and oldest industries in India. Textile Industry in India is a self-
reliant and independent industry and has great diversification and versatility. The textile
industry can be broadly classified into two categories, the organized mill sector and the
unorganized decentralized sector. The organized sector of the textile industry represents the
mills. It could be a spinning mill or a composite mill. Composite mill is one where the
spinning, weaving and processing facilities are carried out less than one roof.

The decentralized sector is engaged mainly in the weaving activity, which makes it
heavily dependent on the organized sector for their yarn requirements. This decentralized
sector is comprised of the three major segments viz., power loom, handloom and hosiery. In
addition to the above, there are readymade garments, khadi as well as carpet manufacturing
units in the decentralized sector. The Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence
in the economic life of the country.

It is the second largest textile industry in the world after China. Apart from providing
one of the basic necessities of life i.e. cloth, the textile industry contributes about 14 per cent
to the country's industrial output and about 17 per cent to export earnings. After agriculture
this industry provides employment to maximum number of people in India employing 35
million people. Besides, another 50 million people are engaged in allied activities. India is

the largest producer of Jute, the 2nd largest producer of Silk, the 3 rd largest producer of
Cotton and Cellulosic Fibre / Yarn and 5th largest producer of Synthetic Fibers/Yarn.
Textile Industry contributes around 4 per cent of GDP, 9 per cent of excise collections, 18
per cent of employment in industrial sector, and has 16 per cent share in the country’s
export. The Industry contributes around 25 per cent share in the world trade of cotton
yarn.India is the largest exporter of yarn in the international market and has a share of 25 per
cent in world cotton yarn export market. India contributes for 12 per cent of the world’s
production of textile fibers and yarn. Indian textile industry is second largest after China, in
terms of spindleage, and has share of 23 per cent of the world’s spindle capacity. India has
around 6 per cent of global rotor capacity. The country has the highest loom capacity,
including handlooms, and has a share of 61 per cent in world loomage. The Apparel Industry
is one of largest foreign revenue contributor and holds 12 per cent of the country’s total
export.The textile industry in India has a complex and varied structure. At one end of the
spectrum in the traditional hand spun, hand woven sector located mostly in rural areas and
on the other is the largely urban based sophisticated capital – intensive, high speed machine
sector. There is also a sprawled fast growing intermediate segment consisting of
decentralized small scale power loom units dispersed mostly in rural and semi urban areas
all over the country. Besides the garment industry has made phenomenal growth and has
blazed a new in exports. Hosiery industry, which was earlier, confined to a few urban or
semi urban centres are also making rapid progress and are spreadity in almostall the states.
The textile industry consists of composite mills, spinning mills, power loom, and hosiery
industry.
2.3 COMPOSITE MILLS IN INDIA

The composite mill sector has been stagnating almost since independence. The total number
of composite mills which 276 in 1950-51. Rise marginally to 291 by the year 1970-71. After
which it started declining to 266 in 1993-94 since then it has again marginally to 276 in
2002-03. After which it started again declining to 198 in 2012-13. The weaving capacity of
the organized mills sector stagnated for a number of years, largely because the government
policy permitted only a marginal expansion in the weaving capacity of the organized mill
sector. Even with the removal of the restrictions on the creation of capacities, as mentioned
in the textile policy of June 1985, the weaving capacity has been consistently declining since
1987-88. Thus between 1980-81 and 1999-2000, the weaving capacity has declined nearly
by 41 per cent. But after 1999-2000, the weaving capacity has been inconsistently declining
to 184 in 2009-10 from the year 1999-00 it started slowly growing up to 209 in 2002-03. But
after that year that weaving capacity was going up and down position to the year 2009-10 (

2.4 SPINNING MILLS IN INDIA

Indian spinning industry is one of the biggest in the world with around 50 million spindles.
Installed capacity of rotors in the country is around 8 lakh. India has the second highest
spindleage after China and contributes to about 25 per cent share in world trade of cotton
yarn. Cotton continues to be the predominant fibre consumed by the textile industry. Cotton
textiles contribute to over 60 per cent of Indian textile exports. India is biggest yarn exporter
in world and mainly exports to China, Korea Republic, Bangladesh, Egypt, Taiwan, Hong
Kong, Turkey, Japan, Israel, European Union and Mauritius. India produces yarn of wide
range of counts, which varies from two to 120s Neand mainly dominated by cotton yarn.
Other than 100 per cent cotton yarn, cotton is spun with other fibres to produce blended
yarns. Some of the major blended yarns exported from this country are polyester/cotton,
cotton/viscose and acrylic/cotton.
The spinning mills were set up primarily in the state of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, A.P,
Haryana, Punjab- U.P, and Gujarat. In Tamil Nadu itself, the management pattern of the
spinning mills in 2000-01 to 2012-13 was much better growth than 1990s. a majority of the
spinning mills, about 87 per cent to the total, are still in the private sector while 9 per cent of
the mills are in the co. operative sector and 4 percent in the public sector(central and state).
Capacity wise, the private sector mills account for over about 83 per cent of the spindle
capacity, 97 per cent of rotors, and 66 per cent of Looms, while the remaining 17 per cent of
the spindle capacity, 3 percent of the rotor capacity and 34 per cent of the Loom capacity are
shared by the public and the co-operative sectors together.

2.4.1 Small Scale Spinning Mills

In addition to the spinning and composite mills in the organized sector, of late, large number
of small scale spinning mills (the spinning mills having 6000 or less spindles are termed as
small scale spinning mills) have come up, Particularly in Tamil Nadu in and around
Coimbatore. There were 1035 SSI with an installed capacity of 4286451 spindles and
130480 rotors in 2012-13. It has provided employment to 41122 persons.

The history of Mallur Siddeswara Spinning Mills Pvt Ltd goes back to around 5 decades starting
from Shri Palaniyandi Mudaliar who was engaged in procurement of silk yarn, getting the same
converted as warp by the local weavers and selling them. The activity was limited to trading of
cotton yarn when his sons Shri S.P. Rathnam, S.P. Sambandam and S.P. Rajendran took over the
business from their father. In this trading, a good consumer base was developed by these brothers
for around 10 years and this consumer base enthused Shri S.P. Sambandam to start a yarn
manufacturing company and his brothers welcomed his proposal and supported Shri
Sambandam. Thus in 1972, having taken a decision to commission a spinning mill utilising the
strong consumer base, they went for backward integration. In other words instead of starting a
spinning mill and selling the yarn,   they gathered the marketing experience initially and then
started a spinning mill called Sambandam Spining Mills. Now The Sambandam Group has 7
mills having a total spindleage of around 2 lakh and a turnover of around Rs 350 Crore.
Sambandam Group Mills included Mallur Siddeswara Spinning Mills Private Ltd which was
established in 1981 and taken over by Sambandam Group in 1987. It has become a separate unit
since 2002.  It has a capacity of 17460 Spindles and an annual turnover of around Rs. 40 Crore.
