Employee Welfare Measures

INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE STUDY:
The success of an organization depends not on materials, machines and equipment but on the efficiency of the personnel who are to put in their best efforts for an efficient performance at their job. The importance of human factor in industries lies in the fact that it has an unlimited potential for investments. It is the only resource, which is able to produce an output greater than its inputs. However, human resource is the most complex and unpredictable because of its individuality. Human resource management is also known as personnel management, labor management, manpower management etc. Prof. E.F.L. Breech defined the term personnel Management in the following words--personnel Management is the part of management progress which is primarily concerned with the human constitution of an organization. Employee Welfare Employee welfare is the efforts to make life worth living for workmen. These efforts have their origin either in some statute formed by the state or in some local custom or in collective agreement or in the employers own initiative.

To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings. To win over employees loyalty and increase their morale. To combat trade unionism and socialist ideas. To develop efficiency and productivity among workers. To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits. To earn goodwill and enhance public image. To reduce the threat of further government intervention.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
HISTORY OF THE PAPER: Paper has a long history, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and continuing to the present day. For thousands of years, hand-made methods dominated and then, during the 19th century paper production became industrialized .Originally intended purely for writing and printing purposes, a wide variety of paper grades and uses are now available to the consumers. The first paper mill in the world was started in 1336 A.D. in Germany. Later paper mills were started in 1586 in Switzerland and Holland. Later it spread all over the world. Firstly in 1789 chlorine was used for bleaching of the pulp, in 1799 Robert Nicholas the French scientist, who designed the first paper machine to the world. In 1809 John Dickinson patented a cylinder Machine which resulted in better with speed of learning and research work. Later on papermaking has becomes a seed industry at every inch and fairish of the world. INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY: Paper industry in India is the 15th largest paper industry in the world. It provides employment to nearly 1.5 million people and contributes rupees 25billion to the governments kitty. The government regards the paper industry as one of the 35 high priority industries of the country. Unlike Iron and Steel, Textile and Sugar Industries the paper making industry did not exist in ancient India. For writing purposes Bojapatra (bank of trees) and Talpatra (leaves of Palm) were used some of our oldest manuscripts preserved up to the present time were written on these materials. The modern art papermaking came to India quite late and perhaps the foundations of the modern paper Industry were laid about 1870.

Employee Welfare Measures The Titaghar Paper Mills was established in 1881 in Bengal and since the Industry has been growing and spreading in different parts of the Country. Industries which use coarse, heavy and weight-losing materials like wood and timber where in a considerable loss of weight takes place in the first stage may usually seek different locations in different stages. The first stages of these industries are generally located near the sources of supply of heavy materials were these material are changed into half finished goods almost into materials. The subsequent stages are located near the consumer markets where half finished goods are given final shape by additional application of labor. In the care of paper industry it is possible to prepare the wood pulp near the forests and then turn into paper in industrial and popular centers. Canada and the Baltick countries of Europe wish their extensive soft wood forests of the Northern Hemisphere and cheap hydro electric power are the homes of the most important wood pulp and paper industries of the world. Wood pulp is manufactured just on the out skirts of the forests and is supplied to the paper making centers inside their own country and is exported to distant lands like Japan and India. Perhaps in the beginning the Titaghar mills used cotton rage a first class material for making the best varieties of paper. But subsequently the Indian paper mills relied mainly on sabai grass available in Uttar Pradesh and Nepal. For interiors yellow varieties of paper even the Munj grass was used. A brief discussion of the natural resources shows that the beginning when sabi and other greases were the principal raw materials and coal the main source of power. Neither Bengal nor Uttar Pradesh enjoyed and distinct advantage, if the mills Bengal could enjoy the advantage of cheaper of cheaper supplies of local coal, the Industry in Uttar Pradesh possessed the advantage of grass. But as only a little over 2 tons of raw material and nearly 4 tons coal were required for every ton of finished paper, the Industry in Bengal was better placed even after paying freight on the supplies of grass obtained from long distance. Besides this the advantage of the paper market at Calcutta was there. But with the introduction of Bamboos a superiors raw material the GKCE, SULLURPETA Page 4

Employee Welfare Measures Industry in Bengal was placed as constantly advantageous position. Thus supplies of bamboo and coal near at hand and a big market for paper. Bengal continued to enjoy a position of great advantage for the development of paper industry, Bihar, Orissa, U.P., and the Punjab came next. After the development of hydroelectric power the position of other bamboo producing regions in Kerala, Mysore and Hyderabad was also considerably improved. The paper industry using Bamboo as raw material was given the benefit of protective duties in 1925 and since then the progress of industry has been fairly satisfactory. The development of hydroelectric power in many regions of the country has considerably help the inter-regional dispersion of the industry.

The influence of the advantage of raw material, power and markets are very clearly visible in the regional distribution of the industry between 1925 and 1948. In the Bombay region the industry used rage or imported wood pulp and was thus handicapped. In the Madras region also the resource position was not helpful for the development of the industry. In 1951, there were 17 paper mills, and today there are about 515units engaged in the manufacture of paper and paper boards and newsprint in India. The pulp and paper industries in India have been categorized into large scale and small scale. Those industries which have capacity above 24,000 tonnes per annum are designated as large scale industries.

STRUCTURE OF THE INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY: Paper industry in India can be broadly categorized into 3 major segments Segment based on forest-based raw material large integrated paper mills fall within this segments that use hard wood /bamboo as the major fibrous raw material and are equipped with full-fledged chemical recovery and effluent treatment system. This segment contributes about 36% of the total production in India. Segment based on Agro based raw materials this segment includes medium and small paper mills that used straws, bagasse, and other annual grasses as the cellulosic fibrous raw material. Very few mills are equipped with chemical recovery system. This segment contributes about 29% of the total production in India. Segment based on recycled waste paper this segment covers the medium and small paper mills using waste paper as a major raw material and contributes nearly 35% of the Indian total production.

There are only 33 large pulps and paper mills based on forest based raw materials with an installed capacity of 2.8 million tones. Since 8 of these mills are closed, operating capacity of these mills around 2.4 million tons of paper board and newsprint. This sector performed well in the last financial year, snatching a capacity utilization of over 80% on the total operating capacity The medium and small Agro based /waste paper based mills produced nearly 3.6 million tons of paper, paper board and newsprint against an operational capacity of nearly 5 million tones, indicating capacity utilization around 70%.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES: Paper manufacturers have had to manage margins by cost control, and this has limited fresh investments and growth within the industry. The industry needs large quantity of wood and water which often face supply limitations and are subject to environmental regulations. Performance of the industry has also been constrained due to high cost of production characterized by inadequate availability and high cost of raw materials and power.

KEY INDICATORS FOR THE GROWTH OF PAPER INDUSTRY: The long-term outlook for the paper industry in India looks distinctly bright for a variety of reasons .Literacy rates are expected to go up as a result of a dedicated fun arising out of the education for primary and secondary education.

COMPANY PROFILE
HISTORY: The very thought of setting up a paper mills at Rajahmundry was conceived by a retired forest officer in 1921. The mill was incorporated on 29thJune1964.The mill was commenced in the year 1924 and the name of the Carnatic Paper Mills and Company Limited in the year 1929. But unfortunately the founder of the mill died in 1930 and the mill was closed. The mill has much chequered history since many a time it was forced to remain closed in 1937. M/s Dayaram and sons took over industry but couldnt survive and the machinery continued to be idle till 1942. In 1942 M/s Apte and sons took over the management of

the mills unfortunately the mill was again closed in 1946 ultimately in the year 1953.The Government of Andhra Pradesh took over the mill and started running till 1958. In the year 1958 the planning commission decided to expand factory by investing loan of 23 crores through French Government. At that time the capacity of the mill was around ten tons per day, which could not be achieved till it was taken over by the present management. The state government decided to call and experienced paper manufacturing from the private sector and handed over some of them consequently. The present management took over the mill and entered in to the picture. On the 11th July 1964 the mill was transferred to Bangur group. It is one of the first joint sector enterprise in India with equal participation between the government, public and the West Coastal Paper mills limited. The new management has developed the mill production capacity from mere 30 tons per day to an enormous 35,000 tons per annum in its first phase expansion and completed expansion in 1969. Again by 1970s the production was increased to 45,000 tons per annum and GKCE, SULLURPETA Page 13

Now its License capacity= 1, 44, 447 MT/Year and Installed capacity=98,500 MT/Year. An additional capacity of 55,000 was added in 2000-2001 through acquisition of coastal papers ltd, making a total of 1,53,500 TPA. The APPM ltd is now the 4th largest integrated pulp and paper manufacturer in India. Unit: APPM is an integrated wood based paper mill in Rajahmundry.

There are six paper machines having manufacturing capacity ranging from 10TPD to 120 TPD manufacturing different gram ages of paper ranging from 28 to 250 GSM. To meet the pulp requirement, APPM has an integrated pulp mill with three chippers of 25 Tons/Hr chipping capacity each and thirteen vertical digesters of about 80 -m3 capacities each. APPM adopts Kraft (sulphate) pulping process. Pulp screening and washing is carried through modern energy efficient belt washing system of 320 TPD chemi-washers. Bleaching of pulp is carried in two streets of bleach plants of 150 TPD capacities each. The bleaching sequence adopted is CEPHD in one bleach plant and C/DEPDEPD/SO2 in the other to produce two grades of bleached pulp that is 83+/- 1% and 86+/1% brightness pulps. The company has adequate infrastructure viz. Water treatment plant boiler, house and turbine house to provide uninterruptedly the required utilities like water, steam and power. The soda recovery sections recover the cooking chemicals in the spent liquor from the pulp mill. SOCIAL FORESTRY: APPM could visualize the steep decline in raw material from conventional forests as early as 80s. To face anticipated difficult days, steps were taken to achieve raw materials sufficiency and sustained availability in future through:

Altering technological parameters to utilize more hardwood. Formulated an ambitious form forestry schemes emphasizing. Conservation of natural resources and healthier environment. Massive plantations on marginal and degraded form lands. Create former and eco friendly environment.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY


There are many practical problems while undergoing the study on the project although the personnel of The APPM limited is very co-operative and helpful. They are bound by their own rules and regulations. Many times concerned officers are busy in fulfilling their targets and thereby a detailed data could not be provided to us. However, the extent possible the information was collected and incorporated in this project.

It was not exposed to very latest and detailed information about Senior Officer Salaries and perks of the Mill.

The prejudices and biases of the sample respondents may also act as hindrances to the study.

Due to shift timings, collecting information from some groups of the employees has become difficult and not possible.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
EMPLOYEE WELFARE Human Resource Management is one of the most complex and challenging fields of management. It deals with the 'People Dimension' in management. Human Resources play a very important role in the development of the business. They constitute the organization at all levels and are regarded as a dynamic factor of production. Labor is considered as a very dominant factor of production for increasing productivity. In order to get best results from the employees, management must be aware of what employees expect from their employees. It is for the management to see that the workers get economic, social and individual satisfaction, employee welfare activities are undertaken. The concept of ' employee welfare ' is flexible and elastic and differs widely with time, region, industry, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the general economic development of the people and political ideologies prevailing at a particular time, it is also molded according to the age - group, sex, socio - cultural background, marital and economic status and educational level of the workers in various industries. Definition: Employee welfare has been defined in various ways, though unfortunately no single definition has found universal acceptance. The Oxford Dictionary defines labor welfare as efforts to make life worth living for worker Chambers Dictionary defines welfare as a state of faring or doing well; freedom from calamity, enjoyment of health, prosperity.

Employee Welfare Measures 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:

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.

a greater extent by the welfare policies. FACTORIES ACT 1948 Organizations provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation levels high.

SUGGESTIONS:
In order to motivate personnel by all means to improve the interpersonal relationships and create zeal to work more for organizational growth, every department should conduct regular meeting. The canteen managing committee must implement certain measures to improve the quality of food supplied in the canteen. Management should consider employee suggestions on welfare activities. Sufficient numbers of spittoons are to be placed in convenient places and are to be maintained in a clean and hygienic condition. Expansion of the cycle and scooter stands at the colonies is to be considered, as it is not sufficient to place the vehicles at the present stands. Bus transport facility is to be provided to the employees to make them reach the factory in time. It is suggested that the organization should provide uniform for the regular contract employees as provided for the permanent employees. Sufficient numbers of peons are to be appointed in every department to avoid delay of the work.
