of
any
organization. As without colors, there is no value of holi (festival).in the same way, there
is no value of any organization without their customers. These are the people who either
make rise for a company on the peak or make fall on the ground. So to know the
consumers view about the companys product, I decided to make a project report on
LABOUR WELFARE .When we work in real situation then we are able to the things
going in the industry and get some practical experience As a part of curriculum of BBA,I
was assigned to study & prepare a report on Liberty Shoes Limited, Karnal, in context
with LABOUR WELFARE
On the project of consumer behavior in the guidance of Mr. Parveen Sharma, HR
manager of the company.
Research has primarily been developed to meet those needs which arise from the complex
relationship between companies, consumers, markets, product and sellers.
I have focused on these aspects in my project:
This research has been conducted in the city of karnal, by taking a sample of 300 people,
to the study factors affecting the sales of the product. The objective have been firstly the
preference towards company; secondly, what major influences compel them to buy a
particular brand; and thirdly, to analyze the brand loyalty.
During the training, I recognized that most of the personalities like to buy the company s
product for its long life. And I understood how Liberty Shoes Limited increases the
efficiency & effectiveness of its workers by imparting training to them and developing
them in all respects to attract their consumers with a better quality of product.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
LABOUR WELFARE
The development of harmonious relations will lead to develop healthy relationship
between the two groups of industry and paves the way for industrial peace.
Labour
The word labour means any productive activity. The industrial progress of a country
depends to a great extent on a contended labour force. An in different, even if not
frustrates and bitter, worker is not only a stigma upon the society, but also a stumbling
block to harmonious industrial functioning resulting in strained industrial relations,
excessive rate of labour turnover, absenteeism & low labour productivity and it hampers
the economic growth of the country.
LABOUR WELFARE
Total Concept
Social Concept
Relative Concept
Positive Concept
The Oxford Dictionary defines Labour Welfare as betterment of work for employees
relates to taking care of the well being of workers by employers trade union govt. and
non-govt. agencies. The concept of labour welfare cannot be concisely defined bcoz of
the relativity of the concept. However, efforts have been taken by the expert bodies to do
each his own way.
The importance of labour welfare was recognized as early as 1931, where Royal
Commission on labour stated that the benefits, which go under this nomenclature, are
great. Importance of the worker who is unable to secure by himself 20 yrs. Later, the
planning commission realized the importance of labour welfare, that in order to get best
out of worker in the matter of production, working conditions need to be improved a lot.
The working conditions should be such as to safeguard his health and to protect against
occupational hazards. Despite phenomenal rise in wages there is still lack of stabilized
work force. Labour Welfare is a flexible concept and part of social welfare, conceptually
& operationally.
Labour Welfare has tremendous potentialities for fostering good Industrial Relations in
India. Hence, we might use scientific procedure for Labour welfare and Organization and
labour force must be directed in right channels in our fast developing technological
machinery.
3) Principle of Efficiency
It is based on the relationship between welfare and efficiency, though it is difficult
to measure the relationship. Whether one accepts the social responsibility for
implementing such labour welfare measure as would increase efficiency.
4) Principle of Re-Personalization
The development of the human personality is given here as the goal of industrial welfare
which acc. To this principle, should counter-act benefits effects of the industrial system.
8) Principle of Responsibility
When responsibility is shared by different groups (Employers, Employees and Trade
Unions), Labour welfare work becomes simple and lazier.
9) Principle of Accountability
This may also be called the principle of evaluation. Here, one responsible person gives an
assessment or evaluation of existing welfare services on a periodical basis to a higher
authority. This is very necessary, for them one can judge and analyze the success of
labour welfare programmes.
10)
Principle of Timeliness
The timeliness of any service helps in its success. To identify the labour problem and to
discover what kind of help is necessary to solve it and to provide the help is very
necessary in planning labour welfare programmes.
11)
Principle of Self-Help
Labour welfare must aim at helping workers to help themselves in the long run. This
helps them to become more responsible and more efficient.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its
advancement search of knowledge through objective & systematic method of finding
solution to the problem of research. Every project requires genuine research. Success of
any project & getting genuine results from that depends upon the research method used
by the research.
DEFINITION
A careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch
of knowledge.
The faction that provide base to the research are :
Desire to face challenge in solving the unsolved problem.

design chalked out.
Data types
a)
Primary Sources
b)
Secondary Sources
a) Primary Sources :
The primary data are those which are collects fresh and for the first time, and thus happen
to be original in character.
b) Secondary Sources :

Collection Of Data For Project
PRIMARY SOURCE
sought. So filling-up of the questionnaire was followed with the brief interview with the
worker.Personal observations are also obtained by visiting work place, canteen, workmen
shelters and colony of workers.
C. Sampling Unit
The first step in developing any sample design is to clearly define the set of objectives
technically called universe to be studied. The universe of my study includes the corporate
houses whether big or small. These are the organization which are indulged in providing
welfare amenities to labour for their betterment thereby improving the lot of working
class & make a worker a good employee and a good citizen.
D. Sample Size
This refers to the organizations surveyed. Although large samples are more reliable but
due to shortage of time and money this organization has been selected.

C. LIMITATIONS
Every search work has limitation. During course of study, although every effort has been
made to make the study as precise and accurate as possible, but one cannot guarantee
100% accuracy and preciseness because of limitation one has to undergo during the
study. The Limitations Faced During The Study Were:
The size of the sample is very small due to shortage of time and resources.
Respondents may be biased in favour of management.
Due to pressure of management, respondents were reluctant in communicating.
Difficulty was faced in getting the responses to various questions because respondents
could not devote enough time to me.
Since this is an opinion survey, personal bias may have crept in, due to the respondents
tendency to rationalize their views.
Measures taken in respect to labour welfare were found at the introductory stage, so the
data collected reflects the introductory trend in regard to labour welfare activities.
Moreover a period of six weeks of training is too short to study the vast concept of
H.R.D.

CONCLUSION
Welfare Activities, the project has been a valuable experience for me. What I
conclude is that labour welfare is an important tool for development of the employees.
Due care is taken that the workers are provided with basic welfare benefits of
leave & allowances, canteen, medical facility etc. and the workers feel quite motivated &
satisfied by the type of amenities provided to them. Labour Welfare is concerned with
activities that lead to:
the hour & for this various labour reforms have been enacted but there is an urgent for
the proper implementation of labour reforms in the contemporary context of Human
Resource Management.
Hence, it can be said that this had been a source of knowledge & experience and
gave me lot of exposure which is valuable for my bright future.
