Employee welfare defines as “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 employer’s own initiative.
The basic features of Labor welfare measures are as follows:
Labor welfare includes various facilities, services and amenities provided to workers for
improving their health, efficiency, economic betterment and social status.
Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits available
to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining
Labor welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are added
to the existing ones from time to time.
Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers, government, employees or by any
social or charitable agency.
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 rationale behind giving welfare plans is to make proficient, sound, steadfast and
fulfilled Labor constrain for the association. The motivation behind giving such offices is to
improve their work life and furthermore to raise their way of life. The essential advantages of
welfare measures can be outlined as pursues:
• They give better physical and psychological wellness to specialists and in this manner
advance a solid workplace
• Facilities like lodging plans, health advantages, and training and amusement offices for
specialists' families help in raising their ways of life. This makes specialists to give more
consideration towards work and hence expands their profitability.
• Employers get steady Labor drive by giving welfare offices. Specialists check out their
occupations and work with a sentiment of contribution and investment.
• Employee welfare estimates increment the profitability of association and advance solid
mechanical relations in this manner keeping up modern harmony.
• The social indecencies predominant among the Labors, for example, substance misuse,
and so forth are diminished to a more prominent degree by the welfare approaches.

The idea of human asset the executives has become out of advancement in India, which went
through different periods of improvement. In the start of the century, the underlying concern
was on consummation the misuse in what was the "Perspired Industries". Along these lines,
administrative estimates were activity by the state to ensure workers against abuse by their
representatives. This offered ascend to welfare as the key idea in the board of Human Resource.
The advancement of welfare administration in businesses starts in the U.K in the late twentieth
century, when there was no worry for welfare state and working conditions were shocking.
Some paternalistic trusted that they had an obligation to take care of representatives for both
monetary and social reasons.
Any work whether manual or mental attempted for a fiscal thought is called Labor. Profitability
of Labor is a successful instrument for monetary improvement. The entire financial state of the
nation relies on increment of the profitability of Labor and the administration needs to accept
conceivable ways without an effective Labor compel, capital speculation better administration,
better innovation the regular assets are the components fundamental for creation. Be that as it
may, everything demonstrates good for nothing until the Labor control is added to all variables.
Truth be told, laborers are individuals are equipped for holding duties, broadening co-activity
for accomplishing objective. They have their own characteristics and yearnings which
whenever dealt with legitimately lead to the accomplishment of businesses and development
of economy.
Welfare of Labor has fundamental noteworthiness for any nation both from national and
worldwide perspective; the flourishing of the country relies upon the correct arrangements of
industry Labor. On the off chance that a nation takes least participation of Labor for generation
reason, it might prompt contortion. The administration needs to deal with improving Labor
profitability through different work activities.
Welfare exercises and satisfying their essential needs to improve the monetary states of Labor
to verify social equity and value, decrease the mechanical agitation and to improve Labor
profitability.
Work welfare is imperative in open area association as lakhs of laborers are utilized in them.
After autonomy open undertakings expected a prevailing job in Indian national economy.

METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of scientific
procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not
been discovered as yet, though each research study has own its specific purpose. A research
design is a specification of methods and procedures for requiring the information needed to
structure or solve the problems. It’s our all frame work of the project stipulate the information
to be collected from sources and ensures that the information obtain is relevant to research
conducted.
Research Design:
A research design is a type of blueprint prepared on various types of blueprints available for
the collection, measurement and analysis of data. A research design calls for developing the
most efficient plan of gathering the needed information. The design of a research study is based
on the purpose of the study.
A research design is the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the information
needed. It is the overall pattern or framework of the project that stipulates what information is
to be collected from which source and by what procedures.
Collection of data is the first step in statistics. The data collection process follows the
formulation for research design including the sample plan. The data can be secondary or
primary. Collection of Primary Data during the course of the study or research can be through
observations or through direct communication with respondents on one form or another or
through personal interviews. I have collected primary data by the means of a Questionnaire.
The Questionnaire was formulated keeping in mind the objectives of the research study.
Secondary data means data that is already available i.e., they refer to data, which has already
been collected and analyzed by someone else. When a secondary data is used, the researcher
7
has to look into various sources from where he can obtain data. This includes information from
various books, periodicals, magazines etc.
SOURCES OF DATA:
Primary Data:
1. Questionnaire
2. Personal interactions with employees
3. By observations
The questionnaire method consists of multiple choice answers to simplify the
data collection, and for better understanding of respondent’s opinion.
Secondary Data:
1. Company profile
3. Websites
Secondary data includes those data which are collected for some earlier research
work and are applicable in the study, the study researcher has presently undertaken.
Efficacious use of secondary data can both save money and time of researcher. The
researcher using the secondary data must also know the fundamentals of Primary data
collection. Secondary data is a valuable source of data. Though the secondary data is less
expensive and can be collected within a short time-period, yet they do not solve the
research problems completely.
This may be due to different units of its measurement: Different classes employed
to the report data, which may not be adequately processed: It may not be sufficient and so
on.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
In the following decades, plastic begin to be used in numerous products, ranging from
packaging to new textiles, and it also paved the way for the invention and it also paved the way
for the invention innovative products such as television and computers. In 2007, total usage of
plastic had reached close to 100 million tonnes, and this has caused significant depletion of
natural resources such as petroleum and natural gas.
Today, polyethylene is the wisely used plastic. On the other hand, the rise of polypropylene
and the introduction of acetyl and polycarbonate from the plastics family named as engineering
thermoplastics. As we completely innovative, there are for sure more to expect.
In the 17th century, an Englishman John Osborne made moulding from the natural polymer,
horn by the 19th century, the moulded horn industry was thriving and geared to sell mass
produced items to the emergency middle classes. Comes from tropical trees were exploited
especially rubber and Gutta Precha for which Bewely invented the plastic extruder in 1847.
Gutta Precha was used to protect and insulate the first submarine telegraph cables in 1850.
With his brother Charles, Thomas Hancock worked extensively with this material but is now
best known for his Discovery 1839 of his vulcanization of rubber whilst Good Year
independently discovered it in America. There was the first deliberate chemical modification
of a natural polymer to produce a moulding material. In America Indian 1850s shellac was
being compounded with wood flour to mould Union cases to display early photographs. Shellac
based compositions were used until 1940s to mould gramophone records.
Lepage worked in France with albumen and wood flour to produce his decorative Bois Durci
plaques. And many others worked with a wide variety of ingredients included Seaweed, peat,
11
paper and Leather. Nearly 10% of all British patents issued in 1885 referred to moulding
materials but the major breakthrough was in the modification of cellulose fibres with nitric acid
to give the first semi synthetic plastic material, cellulose nitrate.

Polymer Industry:
The polymer industry started in particular for spectacular growth because of its wide range and
applications. A polymer basically comprises of thermoplastic. It has wide applications, very
much advantageous, cost in energy efficient too. A polymer can be recycled so it can be
reshaped a number of times by applying heat and pressure. In order to meet the basic needs of
the growing population and to enhance the overall standard of living our natural resources are
13
being exploited. In order to attain a better quality of life, synthetic fibres, plastics, synthetic
rubber Railway complimenting the natural products like cotton, jute, paper, wood and metals.
Being repetitive wares that are generally exchanged, ware Polymers are estimated on import

Indian Plastic Industry:
The plastic industry is considered as Sunrise industry and has been exhibiting a consistent
export growth rate in the past. The plastics industry in India has made significant achievement
ever since it made a modest but promising beginning by commencing production of polystyrene
in 1975. The chronology of manufacturing of polymers in India is summarised as under
1975 - POLYSTYRENE
1959 - DPF
1968 - PVC
1978 - POLYPROPYLENE
Commodity Polymers are used mostly in the manufacture of various plastic products that find
application in sectors such as packaging storage automotive construction and irrigation.
Although there are several grades of commodity polymers, the major ones -- PE, PP, and PVC
-- account for an estimated 90% of the total commodity polymer usage in India. The domestic
commodity polymer industry is characterized by the presence of a few resin producers and
several downstream processors, who in turn sell semi-finished, finished plastic articles to end
customers. The Indian Polymers industry is a small by international standards, accounting for
only around 3.5% of the Global production. However the rate of growth of Indian polymer
consumption is among the highest in the world and this is because of the low Bass effect and
burgeoning demand from several end users.
The potential Indian market has motivated Indian entrepreneurs to acquire technical expertise,
achieve high quality standards. Phenomenal developments in the plastic machinery sector
coupled with matching developments in the petrochemical sector, both which supported the
plastic processing sector, and facilitated the plastic processors to build capacities to server both
the domestic market and overseas market.
The per capita usage of polymers in India at about 6 kgs is far below the Global average of 29
kgs and below that of China at 24 kgs and of Asia at 22 kgs. The domestic per capita usage as
well as the absolute usage of commodity Polymers is expected to grow because of various.
economic and demographic factors. Some of these factors are increase in Urban population and
shift of population from rural 2 urban areas; rise in per capita income; growth of middle class;
15
growth in infrastructure including national highways growth in housing sector increasing
penetration of synthetic bags in food grain packaging changing Lifestyle with increase in
demand for FMCG products and cosmetics changing food habits and study steadily rising
application of polymers in the agriculture sector.
Polyethylene:
The Indian per capita usage of polyethylene at about 2 kgs is only about a fifth of the Global
average which stands at about 10 kgs. Under the penetrated Indian polyethylene market
reported a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 12% from 2003 - 2004 to 2009-
10, although there were large year on year fluctuations. Around 30% of the domestic demand
of polyethylene is met by imports, which have also been growing at robust rates because of
domestic supply constraints and rising demand. To meet import competition, some domestic
Petrochemical producers are developing speciality, niche and value added grades of
polyethylene that fetch higher margins and are less prone to competitive pricing pressures from
imports.
Given the spread of modern retail formats, increasing consumer spending, housing sector
growth and rising disposable incomes, almost all grades of polyethylene are expected to report
high growth rates over the medium to long term. Basing on the grade the polyethylene can be
classified into three:
The Indian per capita consumption of PVC at 1.5 kg is only about a third of the Global average
of 5 kg. PVC demand in India are reported a CAGR of about 11% from 2005-6 to 2009-10,
although there were large year on year variations. India is a net importer of PVC, with imports
meeting around 40% of the total domestic demand. Moreover, the country’s dependence on PP
imports has been rising because of increasing demand, low prices of imports, vis-a-vis domestic
produce, lack of commensurate growth in domestic capacity.
The agriculture sector is the major consumer of PVC in India, accounting for about
60% of the total usage. The prospectus for PVC usage by the agriculture sector appear bright
at present, given that the use of PVC pipes for irrigation is expected to increase with both the
16
central and state governments focusing on bringing a larger area under irrigation as well as
conserving water through various schemes ( eg Micro-irrigation and water harvesting).
Agriculture apart, the higher outlay being made for infrastructure development through plants
such as Bharat Nirman rural infrastructure and the national highways development programme
NHDP are also expected to drive growth in PVC demand. While the overall PVC market has
executed healthy growth rate during the last decade, there have been certain pockets where
demand growth has either be negative or muted. In recent years, environmental and safety
issues as well as substitution by polyethylene have impacted PVC usage negatively in certain
segments. The plastic processing sector comprises of over 30000 units which involved in
producing a variety of items like injection mouldings blow 19 moulding extrusion and
calendaring. The capacities built in most segments of this industry are coupled with inherent
capabilities which made U.S capable of serving the Overseas markets. The Economic reforms
launched in India since 1991, have added for the flip to the Indian plastic industry. Joint
ventures and foreign investments have given easy access to technology from developed
countries, which open new vistas to further facilitate for the growth of this industry.
Notwithstanding the sizeable capacity additions anticipated in India over the next three
to four years, the domestic demand supply balance should remain favourable for polyethylene
and PVC resin producers, even as the PP resin market should remain in surplus. It is however
not the demand supply dynamics but increasing import competition from west Asian
manufacturers that makes for a pressing concern, given that such competition good translate
into subdues tolling margins for incumbents and new entrants over the medium term.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Industrial progress depends on the satisfied employee force, for that providing of adequate
welfare measures is important. The ancient industrial system was not as complex and
complicated as we find industries in modern world. The main industry of our ancestors was
agriculture. The modern industrial working calls grew up in India after the advent of industrial
revolution. Due to division of employee in the factory system, the workers could 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 use to illiteracy and ignore.
Earlier, employer regarded their workers as a more factors production and did no give much
attention to their well being and satisfaction. On the other hand they cared more for machines.
The wages also were low and the employers dictated the terms and condition of service. To
protect the workers and to give them just hare in the profits of the factory, the sate 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.
Employee welfare implies setting up of minimum desirable standards and the provision of
facilitates like health, food, clothing, housing, medical assistance, education, job security,
recreation etc,.such facilities enable the workers and his family lend a god work life, family
life and social life. Employee welfare also operates to neutralize the includes both social and
economic contents of weaker section of society it aims at social to promote economic
development by increasing production and productivity through able distribution.
Roberto well was the dad of employee welfare. Mechanical advancement of a nation relies
upon its submitted representative power. In such manner the significance employee welfare
was perceived as right on time as 1931, when the imperial commission on worker expressed
"the advantages, which go under this classification, are extraordinary significance to specialist
and which he is unfit to verify independent from anyone else. The plans of employee welfare
30
might be viewed as an "Astute speculation" which ought to and as a rule brings a gainful return
as more noteworthy productivity.
After twenty years, the arranging commission additionally understood: the significance of
employee welfare, when it saw that "So as to get best yield of labourer in the matter of creation,
working conditions required to be improved to a substantial degree. The LABOURER ought
to at any rate have the methods and offices to keep himself in a condition of wellbeing and
proficiency.
The idea of "Employee welfare" is adaptable and versatile and fifers broadly with times, locale,
industry, social esteem and traditions level of industrialization the general financial
advancement of the general population and political belief systems winning at a specific
minutes. It is likewise mounded by the age gathering, sex, socio-culture foundation, conjugal
status, monetary status and training dimension of the specialists in different ventures
" The wilful endeavours of the representatives to build up, with in the current modern
framework, working and once in a while living and social states of worker past what is required
by law, the traditions of the nation and the states of market"
"Such administrations, offices and comforts which might be set up in or in the region of
undertaking to empower the people utilized in their to play out their work in solid, amiable
encompassing and gave luxuries helpful for good wellbeing and high assurance".
"Such administrations, offices satisfactory flasks rest and amusement offices, clean and
medicinal offices, game plans for movement to and from and administrations, as added to
conditions under which LABOURERs are utilized".
31
3.3. Scope employee welfare:
The extent of employee welfare can be translated in various ways by various nation with the
shifting phases of financial improvement political standpoint and social rationality, some of
the time the idea is wide one and is pretty much synonymous with conditions or work all in all.
It may not just incorporate the base standard of cleanliness and security set down by and large
enactment, yet additionally such parts of working life as social protection, plans, measures for
assurance of ladies and youthful specialists, impediments of hours LABOURERs, paid get-
away and so on.
All additional painting and intra-wall painting welfare actuates just as statutory welfare
measures attempted by the businesses, government worker's organization or deliberate
associations fall within the extent of employee welfare. It additionally incorporates government
managed savings estimates which add to the labourers welfare, for example, mechanical
