CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
India is a developing country and leads industrial progress for its

development. Industrial progress depends upon the satisfied employee
force, for that providing of adequate welfare measures is important.
The Ancient Industrial System was not so complex and
complicated as we find in industries in modern world. The main industry
of our ancestors was agriculture. The modern industrial working class
grew up in India after the advent of industrial revolution. Due to
division of employee in the factory system, the worker could not get
required satisfaction, the employers used to behave according to their
whims and fancies. In the factory system the worker had to live in
overcrowded colonies with very poor sanitary conditions which
adversely affect their health, social and family life. The work involved
the use of bid machines, which exposed him to many hazards due to
illiteracy and ignore.
Earlier, employer regarded their workers as a mere factors of
production and did not give much attention to their well being an
satisfaction. On the other hand they cared more for the machines. The
wages also were low and the employers dictated the terms and
conditions of service.
-5JNTU UNIVERSITY
KCP Cements
To protect the workers an to give them just share in the profits of

the factory, the state interfered and laid down certain laws, rules and
enactments and made them binding on the part of employers who
employee a certain number of workers.
A developing country requires industrial progress for its
development and industrial progress depends upon the satisfaction of
employee force.
Employee Welfare implies setting up of minimum desirable
standards and the provision of facilities like health, food, clothing,
housing, medical assistance, insurance, education, job security and
recreation etc., such facilities enable the worker and his family to lead a
good work life, family life and social life. Employee Welfare also
operates to neutralize the harmful effects of large-scale industrialization
and urbanization. Employee welfare includes both social and economic
contents of welfare. Social welfare is primarily concerned with the
solution of various problems of weaker sections of society. It aims at
social reform, social services, social work, social action etc. The object
of economic welfare is to promote economic development by increasing
production and productivity through equitable distribution.
-6JNTU UNIVERSITY
KCP Cements
The encyclopedia of social sciences defines it as:

The voluntary efforts of the employers to establish, with in the
existing industrial system, working and some times living and
cultural conditions of employees beyond what is required by law, the
customs of the country and the conditions of market.
The ILO Report refers with regard to employee welfare as:

Such services, facilities and amenities which may be established in
or in the vicinity of under takings to enable the persons employed in
them to perform their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and
provided with amenities conducive to good health and high morale.
According to Committee on employee 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 and for the accommodation of workers employed
at a distance from their homes; and such other services, as
contributed to conditions under which workers are employed.

Scope of Employee Welfare

The Sphere of Employee Welfare can be interpreted in different
ways by different country with varying stages of economic
development, political out look and social philosophy. Some times the
concept is very wide one and is more or less synonymous with
conditions or work as a whole. It may not only include the minimum
standard of hygiene and safely laid down in general legislation, but also
such aspects of working life as social insurance, schemes, measures for
protection of women and young workers, limitation of hours of workers,
paid vacations etc.
All extra and intra-mural welfare activities as well as statutory
welfare measures under taken by the employers, government, trade
union or voluntary organizations fall with in the scope of employee
welfare. It also includes social security measures which contribute to
workers welfare such as industrial health insurance, provident funds,
gratuity, maternity benefits, workmen compensation, pension, retirement
benefits etc., which are the species of the larger family encompassed by
the term employee welfare.

CHAPTER II
PROFILE OF THE ORGANISATION

An Introduction
The Management of Man is a very important and challenging
job; important because it is a job, not of managing men; but of
administering a social system. The management of men is a challenging
task because of the dynamic nature of the people. No two persons are
similar in mental abilities, traditions, sentiments and behaviour, they
differ widely also as groups and are subject to many and varied
influences. People are responsive; they feel, think, and act; therefore,
they can not be operated like a machine or shifted and altered like a
template in a room layout. They, therefore, need a tactful handling by
management personnel. If manpower is properly utilized, it may prove a
dynamic motive force for running an enterprise at its optimum results
and also work as an elixir for maximum individual and group
satisfaction in relation to the work performed.
Manpower management is a crucial job because Managing
People is the heart and essence of being a manger. It is concerned with
any activity relating to human elements or relations in organization.
Material elements, however, are beyond its domain. Although the field
of personnel management has been with us for nearly seventy years,
only recently has there been some major redirection in thought
KCP Cements
concerning its importance to the effectiveness of organizations. For

many years, personnel management was viewed as a maintenance
function for the organization, a repository of files and information, but
not a function that had any noticeable impact and the bottom line.
During the recent years a different perspective began to emerge that
elevated the importance and status of personnel management. There
were a number of factors that contributed to this changing perspective of
the field and the practice of personnel management in organizations.
Perhaps the most critical factor was the enactment of a considerable
amount of Government legislations particularly with respect to fair
employment practices. As a result, the personnel function gained more
visibility and influence by acquiring responsibility for a variety of
critical interactions with powerful Government Regulatory Agencies
like Labour Commissionarate, which carefully monitored and continue
to monitor the employment practices of organizations with respect to
fairness, health and safety.
Other factors that have led over the years to the increased
importance and status of personnel management include the focus on
productivity and the changing nature and demographics of the work
force. All of these factors, when placed in the context of significant
economic and political changes in the rest of the world, now have
created the need for newer, more business focused perspective of the
field.
KCP Cements
The newer perspective is that of strategic Human Resource

Management. This perspective essentially takes a broader, more
integrated view of the personnel function, seeks to link the personnel
function to the longer term strategies of the organization, and asks how
the personnel function can facilitate the accomplishment of those
strategies. In the environment, the importance and status of personnel
management will continue to increase as the field proactively and
creatively responds to changing requirements and expectations.
The emergence of Human Resource Management
In the past, the general managers were content to delegate rather
narrowly defined personnel responsibilities to functional specialists.
Today many pressures are demanding a broader, more comprehensive
and more strategic perspective with regard to the organisations human
resources. A list of these pressures would include the following.
1.
Increasing international competition.
2.
Increasing complexity and size of organizations.
3.
Slower growth.
4.
Greater Government involvement in human resource practice.
5.
Increasing education of the workforce.
6.
Changing values of the work force.
7.
More concern with career and life satisfaction.
8.
Changes in work force demography.
KCP Cements
Human Resource Management involves all management decisions and

actions that effect the nature of the relationship between the organization
and employees its Human Resources. In the final analysis three
concluding points should be made about Human Resource Management.
1.
Human Resource activities have a major impact on individual

performance and hence on productivity and organizational
performance.
2.
The cycle of Human Resource activities is highly interdependent.

The Human Resource System is therefore only as strong as it
weakest link.
3.
Effective strategic management requires effective Human

Resource Management.
PROFILE OF THE ORGANISATION

The year was 1941 India was under the imperial rules and
independence was an idea whose time had still not come. KCPs genesis
took place against this backdrop. Sri Velagapudi Ramakrishna, a pioneer
with a vision for a prosperous, strong and industrialized India,
relinquished his secure job with the ICS and set up a sugar plant. Driven
by a nationalistic fervor, he turned his vision to reality as this company
grew from sugar, to cement, heavy engineering, power and beyond. This
was the KCP Group. A true Indian business conglomerate had arrived.
KCP Cements
The KCP Groups philosophy is Modernize. Indigenize. Never

compromise on technology. From a single sugar factory, KICP has
grown into a group of companies, presently worth US$ 50 million.
KCP Heavy Engineering Division, set up in 1955, is located close
to the Chennai port. An integrated manufacturing facility that makes a
range of heavy mechanical equipment and sub systems for the core
sector industries, KCP Heavy Engineering has one of the largest, well
integrated factories of its kind. KCP has an enviable track record in the
heavy engineering industry in the domestic and international market and
offers a wide range of products such as:
-
Sugar Machinery
Cement machinery
Mineral Processing Equipment
Chemical & Fertilizer Plant Equipment
Steel Plant Equipment

KCPs state of the art cement manufacturing plant at Macherla,
Andhra Pradesh ahs an enhanced production capacity of over

5,00,000tonnes per annum. Indias first dry process kiln was installed
here in 1958 by Himboldt, Germany while it was still a prototype in
Europe. In 1962 KCP installed a second wet process kiln in
collaboration with Fives Lille Cail, France. The finest illustration of
KCPs success in cement technology is the Nagarjuna Sagar dam that
straddles the turbulent Krishna river a project that used 1.34 million
metric tones of cement manufactured at KCPs Macherla Plant.
KCP Cements
Today, KCP has a 100% modernized plant, with a World Bank

funded outlay of Rs. 367 million, that incorporates latest technologies
like the energy when the government of Andhra Pradesh allowed private
enterprises to generate their own power, KCP quickly rose to the
challenge by establishing mini hydel projects on the Guntur Canal an
effective way to generate power from 5 different canal drops. Four of
these power projects generate 1.5 megawatts of power and the fifth one
generates 2.25 megawatts.
The plant has been operational since 1999. The design of these
power projects efficient dry process, with a two support kiln and a 5
stage pre-heater with flash calciner. KCP Cement also has a
sophisticated centralized process control system with the hardware and
software from Siemens, Germany.
Amidst all its success, KCP Cement is genuinely concerned with
the environment, which has resulted in the implementation of ecofriendly manufacturing processes. To this effect, KCP Cement also has
several industrial awards for safety and pollution control.
Acknowledged by cement experts as the finest quality premium
cement, KCP Cement is very much in demand for critical construction
projects in India, which is testimony to KCPs obsession with quality.
Stringent testing protocols and sophisticated equipment ensure quality
control right from the selection and blending of law materials to the
analysis of end products. KCP cements are supplied in the following
grades.
KCP Cements
53 Grade Ordinary Portland Cement

43 Grade ordinary Portland Cement
KCP Garuda 53 Portland Pozzolana Cement
KCP Duro High Durability Cement.
The Quality Management System of this unit, has been approved
by LLYORDS Register of Quality Assurance to the Quality
management System Standards BS EN ISO 9001:2009 IS/ISO
9002:2000. the Quality management System is applicable ot the
Manufacture and Sale of Ordinary Portland cem`ent. Blended cement
and Special cements to customer specifications. KCPs rigorous
adherence to quality has created a reputation for itself in the market for
assured safety.
With its technological edge and years of experience, KCP cement
is a clear leader in the cement industry. Today, customers insist on using
KCP cement for RCC columns, roofs and load bearing structures. Its
extensive usage in pre-stressed concrete elements also accounts for its
premier position is unique and allows, for instance, the flow of water in
the by-pass canal when the gates of the power houses are closed. The
project, therefore, has not obstructed the ecological balance in the
environment, but has, in fact, enhanced it.
KCP Cements
In addition, all of these projects feature turbines of the Semi

Kaplam Variant type which are first of their kind in India. Owing to
such innovations, the cost of generating power is less than any other
mini hydel scheme in Andhra Pradesh. KCPs Hydel Projects are a clear
illustration of the companys commitment to the environment.

vision was to provide education to bright children of lower income
groups through this equal opportunity school. The institution was started
as a Primary School with Telugu as the medium of institution, with the
motto Thamasoma Jothirgamaya, (Lead us from the Darkness of
KCP Cements
Ignorance unto the Light of Knowledge). With continued efforts

from the management and staff, the school upgraded to Middle School
in September 1982 and High School in June 1991. The English medium
section was also started around this time. In June 2002, the school
started offering Higher Secondary education. The main advantage of this
school is that a child can learn three languages (Telugu, Tamil and
Hindi), and can opt for Telugu or English medium education at the same
campus.

Never Compramise on Quality

KCPs growth was not constrained to India. In 1990, the
company took on the challenge of setting up and developing a sugar
industry in Vietnam. Impressed by its performance, expertise and
experience in growing the cane and setting up factories under
challenging circumstances, the Government of Vietnam invited KCP to
set up a sugar factory in Son Hua district of Phuyen province in
Vietnam.
The entire plant and machinery was designed by Fives Cail-KCP
Ltd. Commercial production successfully started from January 2002 to
manufacture export quality refined sugar and white sugar. The
management systems are certified to the Quality management System
Standards ISO 9001. KCP Vietnam Industries won a gold medal in the
year 2003 producing 2500 TCP of refined sugar.
KCP-Vietnam is truly a landmark in the history of the company.
With this venture, KCP is one of the few Indian groups to go truly
multinational. With the right technical expertise and project management
skills, KCP is now known for its capacity to set up plants in any
location, irrespective of setbacks or contingencies. KCP Vietnam
Industries stands testimony to that fact.

Importance of Employee Welfare

Robert Owell was the father of Employee Welfare administration.
Industrial progress of a country depends on its committed employee
force. In this regard the importance of Employee Welfare was
recognized as early as 1931, when the Royal Commission on employee
stated that the benefits, which go under this nomenclature, are great
importance to worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The
schemes of employee welfare may be regarded as a Wise Investment
which should and usually does bring a profitable return in the form of
greater efficiency.
20 years later, the Planning Commission also realized the
importance of employee welfare, when it observed that: In order to get
the best output of worker in the matter of production, working
conditions required to be improved to a large extent. The worker should
at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of health
and efficiency. This is primarily a question of adequate nutrition and
suitable housing conditions. The working conditions should be such as
to safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazards.
The work place should provide reliable amenities for his essential needs.
The worker should also be equipped with the necessary technical
training and a certain level of general education.

Concept of Employee Welfare

The concept of Employee Welfare is flexible and elastic and
differs widely with times, regions, industry, social values and customs,
degree of industrialization, the general socio-economic development of
the people and the political ideologies prevailing at a particular
moments. It is also moulded according to the age group, sex, sociocultural background, marital status, economic status and education level
of the workers in various industries.
Employee Welfare has been defined in different ways.

The Oxford dictionary defines Employee Welfare as: Efforts to make
life worth living for workmen.
The encyclopedia of social sciences defines it as:
The voluntary efforts of the employers to establish, with in the
existing industrial system, working and some times living and
cultural conditions of employees beyond what is required by law, the
customs of the country and the conditions of market.
The ILO Report refers with regard to employee welfare as:
Such services, facilities and amenities which may be established in
or in the vicinity of under takings to enable the persons employed in
them to perform their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and
provided with amenities conducive to good health and high morale.
KCP Cements
According to Committee on employee 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 and for the accommodation of workers employed
at a distance from their homes; and such other services, as
contributed to conditions under which workers are employed.
The Labour Investigation Committee preferred to include under
employee welfare.
Any thing done for intellectual, physical, moral and economic
betterment of the workers, whether by employers, by government or
by other agencies, over and above what is laid down by law or what
is normally expected on the part of the contractual benefits for which
workers may have bargained.
Scope of Employee Welfare
The scope of Employee Welfare can be interpreted in different
ways by different country with varying stages of economic
development, political out look and social philosophy. Some times the
concept is very wide one and is more or less synonymous with
conditions or work as a whole. It may not only include the minimum
standard of hygiene and safely laid down in general legislation, but also
such aspects of working life as social insurance, schemes, measures for
protection of women and young workers, limitation of hours of workers,
paid vacations etc.
KCP Cements
All extra and intra-mural welfare activities as well as statutory

welfare measures under taken by the employers, government, trade
union or voluntary organizations fall with in the scope of employee
welfare. It also includes social security measures which contribute to
workers welfare such as industrial health insurance, provident funds,
gratuity, maternity benefits, workmen compensation, pension, retirement
benefits etc., which are the species of the larger family encompassed by
the term employee welfare.
Basic Features of Employee Welfare
On the basis of various definitions, the basic characteristics of
Employee Welfare are,
It is the work, which is usually undertaken within the premises or in
the vicinity of the undertakings for the benefit of the employees and
the members of his family.
The work generally include those items of welfare which are over
and above what is provided by statutory provisions or required by
the custom of the industry or what the employees except as a result
of a contract of service from the employers.
The purpose of providing welfare amenities is to bring about the
development of the whole personality of the worker his social,
psychological,
economic,
moral,
cultural
and
intellectual
development to make him a good worker, a good citizen and a good

member of the family.
KCP Cements
These facilities may be provided voluntarily by progressive and

enlightened entrepreneurs of their own accord out of their realization
of social responsibility towards employee, or the statutory laws may
compel them to make provision for these facilities or these may be
undertaken by the government or trade unions, if they have the
necessary funds with them.
Employee Welfare is a very broad term covering social security and
such other activities as medical aids, creches, canteens, recreation,
housing, adult education, and arrangement for transport of employee
to and from the work place to residence, etc.
It may be noted that not only intra-mural but also extramural,
statutory as well as non-statutory activities, under taken by any of the
three agencies the employers, trade unions or the Govt.
The committee of Experts on Welfare Facilities for Industrial
Employees covered by ILO (in 1963) included the following items
under the term Employee Welfare.

Objectives of Employee Welfare Activities
KCP Cements
Partly humanitarian i.e., to enable workers to enjoy a fuller and

richer life.
Partly economic i.e. to improve the efficiency of the worker to
increase its availability where it is scarce and to keep him
contented so as to minimize the inducement to form or join
unions and to resort to strikes.
Partly civic i.e. to develop a sense of responsibility an dignity and
thus make them worthy citizens of the nation.
Another object of Employee Welfare is to fulfill the future needs
and aspirations of Employee.
In view of above discussions it is clear that Employee Welfare
measures are to be inevitably under-taken by the employers to reduce
absenteeism and employee turnover and to increase production.
Therefore in the final analysis Employee Welfare services should,
Enable the workers to live a richer and more satisfactory life.
Contribute to the productivity of employee and efficiency of the
enterprise.
Rise the standard of living of workers by indirectly reducing the
burden on their purse.
It should be based on an intelligent prediction of the future needs of
industrial work, and be so designed so as to offer a cushion to absorb
the shock of industrialization and urbanization on workers and
Administratively viable and essentially development in out look.

Need for Employee Welfare

The need for the Employee Welfare arises from the very nature of
industrial system, which is characterized by two basic facts:
One, the conditions under which work is carried on are not
congenial for the health; and
Second, when an employee joins an industry he has to work in an
entire strange atmosphere, create problems of adjustment.
When a worker, who is in fact a ruralite, comes to work in a
factory, has to work and live in unhealthy, congested factories and slum
areas, with no outdoor recreation facilities. To escape from the tiring
conditions of tedious and tiresome job, he absents himself, becomes
irregular and often indisciplined. Hence the need for providing welfare
services arises.
The necessity for Employee Welfare is felt more in our country
because of its developing economy aimed at rapid economic and social
development. The need for Employee Welfare was strongly felt by the
committee of Royal Commission on Employee as far back as in 1931,
primarily because of a lack of commitment to industrial work among
factory workers and also the harsh treatment they received from the
KCP Cements
employers. The resolution passed by the Indian National Congress for

fundamental rights and economic programme, in 1931 emphasized that
the state should safeguard the interest of industrial workers and should
secure for them, by suitable legislation, a living wage, healthy
conditions of work, limited hour, suitable machinery for settlement of
disputes between employers and workmen and protection against the
economic consequences of old age, sickness and unemployment.
The planning commission also realized the necessity of
Employee Welfare. The working conditions should be such as to
safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazards. The
worker should, also be equipped with necessary technical training and a
certain level of general education because of the high rate of illiteracy
among the workers. The facilities would also help in decreasing the
number of industrial accidents and increasing the workers efficiency.
Therefore proper organization and administration welfare facilities can
play a vital role in promoting better working conditions and living
standards for industrial workers and also increase their productivity
especially in developing countries. It is obvious that the scope of
Employee Welfare depends on the kind of employee problems.
