CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE STUDY
The industrial development in any country depends on a satisfied labour force. Mere monetory rewards cannot make them feel
17
satisfied. Various other benefits are to be provided to the workers,which they cannot secure,by themselves.The bare minimum amenities alone cannot satisfy the labour force and ensure the intellectual,physical,moral and economic betterment of the workers.He needs an added stimulus to keep his body and soul together.But the provision of these benefits or extra stimuli is not compulsory and the employers are at liberty to provide or not to provide.Today,employers have generally accepted welfare as a social right.But the degree of importance given by them varies.Therefore,the state also intervenes and introduces legislation from time to time to bring about some measures of uniformity in providing such amenities.The intervention of the state,however,is only to wider the area of its applicability. Labour is one of the most important factors of economic growth.A harmonious relationship between labour and management ineeded to maximize production and speed up the economic growth. Therefore, the State seeks to facilitate development of the industry while protecting the individual worker. The ambit of the labour policy includes human resources development,improvement of the living and the working conditions of the workers, strict enforcement of labour laws and provision of social security for workmen in all sectors as well as creation and maintenance of an atmosphere conducive to peaceful industrial relations in the State. In addition to implementing the labour policy for the welfare of the workers, it is also necessary to ensure that all adult persons looking for work are employed in jobs appropriate to their skills with adequate income necessary for a decent life. The concept of labour welfare is necessarily elastic,bearing a different interpretation from country and time to time,depending on different social systems,degree of industrializations and general level of social and
18
economic development.In it widest sense,it is more or less synonymous with labour legislations and social insurance.The committee on labour welfare 1969,however,said that welfare is broad concept.It can note a condition of well being,happiness,satisfaction,conservation and development of human resource. The term labour welfare includes provision of various facilities and amenities in and around the work place for the better life of the worker.It is a narrow cocept which is mainly concerned with the welfare of the workers.Labour welfare facilities includes medicine, sports, education, cultural, and other facilities.
DEFINITIONS:
Definition the of the Labour Investigation and Committee:The betterment Labour of the
Investigation Committee has defined labour welfare as Anything done for intellectual,physical,moral economic workers,whether by the employers,by the government or by other agencies over and above what is laid down by law or what is normally expectedon the part of the contractual benefits for which worker may have bargained. Definition Given By Encyclopedia:The Encyclopedia of social sciences definesLabour welfare as the voluntary efforts of the employers to establish within the existing industrial system working and sometimes living and actual conditions of the employees beyond that which required by law,the custom of the industry and the conditions of the market.
19
Definition of Dr.Panadikar:Dr.Panadikar defines the concept as work for improving the healthy and general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the minimum standard laid down by the labour legislation. Definition of Prof. S .D.Pinker:He has been defined as Labor Welfare is also understood mean such services facilities and amenities which may be established in industries to enable person employed there in to perform their work in healthy and congenial surrounding and to Promote them with amenities to conduct good health and good moral.
was adopted.The good employers of those days started providing such facilities motivated by philanthropic,humanitarian and religious considerations. 2.Industrial efficiency approach:The next step in the evolutionary process was the industrial efficiency approach.with the passage of time,the size of business undertaking grown.They were organized in the form of joint stock companies and there was a total separation of ownership and management.Hence the so-called employers were no longer able to maintain direct contact with the workers. 3.Social approach:The latest trend in the concept of labour welfare is the shift of emphasis from that of increased efficiency to the promotion of the general welfare of the workers.This social approach does neither involveany philanthropic consideration nor the ulterior motive of increasing the level of labour efficiency.
21
4.No compulsion:There should be no compulsion for workers to avail these facilities.In other words,labour welfare should be voluntary and the workers should be free to take advantage of such facilities.
22
1.The welfare activities influence the sentiments of the workers.When worker feels that the employers and the state are interested in their happiness ,his tendency to grous and grumble will steadily disappear.The development of such feeling paves the way for industrial peace. 2.The provision of various welfare measures makes the worker realize that they also some stake in the undertaking in which they are engaged and so think thrice before taking any reckless action which might prejudice the interest of undertaking. 3 .The welfare measures like cheap food in canteens, free medical and educational facilitiesetc. Indirectly increase industrial dispute the real income of the workers. Hence they try toavoid industrial dispute , as far as possible and do not go on strikes on flimsy ground 4.Welfare activities will go a long way to better the mental and moral health of workers by reducing the incidence of vices of industrialization. 5 .Welfare activities will reduce labour turnover and absenteeism and create permanent settled labour force by making service attractive to the labour. 6 .Welfare measures will improve the physique,intelligence morality and standard of livingof the workers which in turn will improve their efficiency and productive.
peace.Conflicts,chaos,unrest etc.are minimized to a great extent. 2.Increase in the general efficiency and and income: The facilities make the workers happy and feel contented at home as well as in the factory,which brings improvement in their general efficiency.
23
3.High Morale:The welfare measures shall also help in securing the willing co-operation of the workers.if they once satisfied ,they will be less tempted to immoral and anti-social activities.Thus a high degree of employee morale is ensured. 4.Creation of permanent labour force:These facilities will provide an attraction to the workers to stay longer in the undertaking.In the absence of such facilities,the workers will often leave for their villages in search of recreation etc. 5.Improvement in the mental and moral health:These facilities bring about a change in the outlook of the workers,improve their mental faculty and keep them in becoming good citizens. 6.Changes in the outlook of employers:A change in the attitude and outlook of the employees and their heartfelt cooperation shall also change the outlook of the employers as well. 7.Social benefits:Besides the various economic advantages to the employers and employees,these measures offer various social advantages also.The increase in the efficiency of the workers ultimately leads to an increase in production,rate of profit and the earnings of the undertakings.
Relations,rightly remarked that welfare measures are undertaken by the employees to achieve the following objectives: 1.To combat the sense of frustration of the industrial workers. 2.To relieve him of personal and family worries. 3,To improve his health.
24
4.To afford him means of self-expression. 5.To offer him some sphere in which he can excel others. 6.To help him to a wider concept of life.
second world war, both the central and the provincial governments showed a keen interest in undertaking welfare activities for the workers. The government also appointed welfare officers to persuade the employers to improve the welfare schemes.Therefore, in 1946,the programme for labour suggested a through overhauling of legislative measures to promote labour welfare.After independence the first plan laid more emphasis on effective implementationof various statutory provisions.A committee was also appointed by the central government to draw up a code of efficiency and welfare.The code as drafted by the committee was extensively discussed in the Indian labour conference and national productivity council.But the code was not implemented.
LABOUR LAWS
The state government is enforcing various labour laws such as the Industrial Disputes Act, the Tamil Nadu Shops & Establishments Act, 1947,the Tamil Nadu Catering Establishment Act, 1958, the Industrial Employment(standing orders) Act , 1946, the Trade Unions Act, 1926, the Plantations Labour Act, 1951, the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, the Payment of Bonus Act 1965, the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Workmens Compensation Act,1923, etc. The state government helps in maintaining a harmonious relationship between management and labour. Through the process of conciliation, strikes and lockouts are avoided and disputes are settled amicably.Labour courts and Industrial Disputes Tribunals have been set up in order to help workmen get speedy statutory relief. The enforcement machinery of the State ensures compliance of statutory requirements of
26
labour laws as well as laws related to weights and measures so as to protect rights of the workers and consumers. The State Labour Advisory Board is a tri-partite high level committee consisting of representatives of the employers, employees and Government officials addressing issues related to labour laws and amendments to the Acts and Rules and other labour related problems.
CHILD LABOUR
27
The Constitution of India prohibits employment of children below the age of 14 years in the factories, mines or hazardous employments. In Tamil Nadu, the employment of children is prohibited altogether under the Factories Act, 1948, the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishment Act 1947, Tamil Nadu Catering Establishment Act 1958 and Child Labour (Regulation and Abolition)Act, 1986. The Tamil Nadu State Action Plan aims at eradication of child labour in hazardous as well as non-hazardous employment by December 2007. The National Child Labour Project and the India and US Government Project(INDUS) Child Labour Project, which are funded by Government of India arefunctioning in 12 and 5 districts respectively with the objective of eradicating this heinous practice. The State endeavours to eliminate child labour working in tandem with NGOs, Centrally funded child labour projects as well as by 807 leveraging the activities of various Government departments such as school education, rural development, health etc.

CHAPTER-II INTRODUCTION
The Indian cement industry comprises 130 large cement plants and 365 mini-cement plants,with installed capacities of 165 million tonnes per annum(mtpa).Large cement plants accounted for over 94 per cent of the total installed capacity.Despite the growth of the Indian cement industry,indias per capita production of 115 kilograms per year lags the world average of over 250 kilograms and chinas production of more than 450 kilograms per person.Clearly there remains room for growth in the industry in India. The Indian cement industry is on a roll.Driven by a booming housing sector,global demand and increased activity in infrastructure development such as state and national highways,the cement industry has outpaced itself.In this study the existence and functioning of various departments are analyzed and studied.The main functional departments of this company are human resources department,Marketing department,Purchase department,Production department,finance department and IT department.
COMPANY PROFILE
Malabar Cements Ltd., a fully owned Govt. of Kerala Undertaking, is synonymous with superior quality cements, vouched by customers spread across the state of Kerala. The Company was incorporated in April 1978 and commenced production in April 1984 at its Walayar plant. At Malabar
37
Cements, product improvement is not just a one-time strategy for boosting sales, rather a quest of excellence. Perfecting the product quality is everybody's concern here. Our distinction begins with scientifically selecting the best raw materials for clinker. Stringent quality control is exercised right from pre-blending raw materials, linearization, clinker grinding, and finally tocementpacking. Malabar Cements contributes to the developmental activities of the State by supplying the basic construction material. Only Malabar Cements can supply its cement, 'factory fresh', without any deterioration in the original strength either due to moisture or humidity, within 12 hrs anywhere in Kerala. With a production capacity of 4.2 lakh tons of cement perannum, t he unit at Walayar is the largest. As part of expansion programmed, it has commissioned a 2.0 lakh tons clinker-grinding unit at Chartable in Alappuzha district in August 2003. Thus the total installed capacity of MCL is 6.2 lakh tons. MCL is the first public sector company to receive ISO Certification & to win the National Award for best achievement in Energy Conservation. Till date, MCL has experienced no loss of production due to labor unrest. In just over 15 years of commissioning, Malabar Cements has been able to meet about 10% of total cement consumption in Kerala. With the expansion plans in progress, the figures are sure to rise further. Malabar cements limited,the flag ship company of Government of Kerala,has achived the most coveted recognition of ISO 9002 certification from the prestigious apex body of standardization,the Bureau of Indian Standards.It is the first public sector cement unit in India to achieve this recognition.It is learned that in terms of profitabilioty Malabar Cement Ltd,is the number one public sector company in Kerala.

2.4 HISTORY
Cement is a necessary constituent of infrastructure development and a key raw material for the construction industry. As late as the 70s, the State of Kerala was virtually starving for cement. The state lacked a Portland cement factory in either private or government Sector. In 1961-62, the Geological Survey of India located a limestone deposit in the Pandered valley of the Walayar region on the northern side of the Palakkad gap. Located in dense forest area, the hilly terrain was required heavy investment to mine. The State Govt. ventured to put up a Cement factory in the region. The feasibility study conducted revealed that the construction of a 1200 tad dry process cement plant using the Pandered limestone is feasible. KSIDC obtained an Industrial License for the manufacture of cement in November 1976 and decided to go ahead with the project and formed Malabar Cements Limited to set up, own and operate the proposed cement plant. The plant was successfully commissioned in 1984 and the commercial cementation started on 1984 Now, The Company is all equipped to set precedence among public sector units in the state. The launch of two Superior quality products under the brand name Malabar Super and Malabar Classic, in the year 1994-95 gave a boost to the market presence. Various modifications carried out since 1995 have improved production and productivity of Malabar Cements. A 2.5 MW multi-fuel power plant was commissioned in June 1998 to complement 25% of the total power requirement for the Walayar plant operations. As part of expansion, the company has commissioned a 600 tpd Grinding Unit at Cherthala in August 2003. The modernization of Cement Mill, completed in December 2004, helped to increase the cement production The company has upgraded the
40
plant with state-of-the-art technology; Belt bucket elevators, Kiln automation, modification of cement mill internals etc, are few to mention. The 0.42 million tones capacity is less than 10% of the cement consumption in Kerala and expansion will allow the company to harness the markets beyond its core segment.

national standards. For Various applications, the company has three brands via "Malabar Super" "Malabar Aiswarya" "Malabar Classic"
1.Malabar Super
Wonderful in workability, Incredible in aging,Implausible in durabilityand Fantastic in strength gain an amazing performer Tests carried out by Bureau of Indian Standards have established unshakeable credentials of Malabar Super. Super strength accelerates setting time and fine finish. Malabar super is superior in strength to ordinary '43' grade cement. It attains the 28 days' strength required as per IS in just 7 days time. Not only that, the strength attained in 28 days time is about 50 percent more than the IS specification. The amazing strength of Malabar Super arises from its unequalled particle fineness, 33 percent more than the IS specification and consistency in composition, made so by computerized process control system.
2.Malabar Classic
42
Superior in its class of cements, it offers better setting properties delayed initial set and early final set offering more working time and reduced observation time. Structures achieve excellent dimensional stability with the heat resistant properties of MALABAR CLASSIC. It also reduces heat generation during hydration, making it a better workable finished product absolutely reliable. The extra fineness welded into it allows MALABAR CLASSIC better coverage and finish in wall and roof plastering this in turn, reduces paint consumption.
3.Malabar Aiswarya
Brings prosperity in many ways. It increases the life of your structures by safeguarding against soleplate Attack. Aiswarya offers high quality at reduced price.Aiswarya generates less heat of hydration, reduces the formation of getting cracks. This product is best studied for constructions in soil and water with excess alkali metals, sulphates, alumina, iron and acidic waters. To obtain the best quality cement, only glassy granulated slag is used for product manufacturing. With very low magnesium oxide content this provides shape stability for concrete structures.

3.1 RESEARCH
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge.In fact,research is an art of scientific investigation.The Advanced Learners dictionary of current englishlays down the meaning of research asa careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge. Redman and Mory define research as asystemized effort to gain new knowledge. Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense.According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems,formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions;collecting,organizing,evaluatin data;making deductions and reaching conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.D.Slesinger and M Stephenson in the encyclopedia of social sciences define research asthe manipulation of things,concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend,correct or verify knowledge,whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in thepractice of an art.
