INDUSTRY PROFILE
HISTORY OF TEXTILES INDUSTRY:
Indian textile tradition is the world's oldest textile tradition. The origin of Indian textile can
be traced back to the days of Indus valley civilization. The fragments of cotton material originating
from Gujarat found in the Egyptian tombs support that discovery. There are occasional comments
about the textile craft in most of the ancient Indian writings as well. Indian textile was also exported
to various countries since time immemorial. The history of vijayanagar empire (ad 1504), one of
Indias celebrated dynasties emphasize that textile was an important trade. Indian geography,
climate, social customs, availability of the raw material etc defines the art of Indian textile.
Manufactured and exported to various countries, Indian textile has found a place in the global
market. In an extensive range, variety and the textile products are offered, at economic prices.
For the year 2006-2007 the Indian government has set an export target of US$ 19.73 billion
for textile and clothing exports. The Indian Governments US$ 20 billion textile growth fund,
offering soft loans, with a 5 percent subsidy in interest rates, will be extended till financial year
2009-2010, to spur Indias textile industrys growth plan, which will enable the Indian textile

industry to achieve the targeted production of US$ 85 billion and exports of US$ 50 billion by
2009-2010.
2,400 crore and additional employment generation of more than five lakh persons. The Indian
Government was providing a grant of Rs 866 crore for the sanctioned project. Indian Governments
Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme for modernization of textile mills has been extended till
2007 and total investment from this scheme from April 1999 to July 2006 has been Rs 44,686 crore.

remunerative prices for their produce. Except in Andhra Pradesh, the current cotton prices are 3.11
per cent above the MSP. At present, CCI is purchasing cotton, wherever required, at prices higher
than MSP.
Indias State of Gujarat has seen cotton production continuously go up from 30.5 lakh bales
to 89 lakh bales between 2002-2003 and 2005-2006 and to 100 lakh bales expected in 2006-2007.
The area under cotton cultivation has increased by 4 per cent during 2006-2007, to 92 lakh hectare.
Indias consumption of cotton has increased by 28 per cent between 2002-03 and 2005-2006, from
169 lakh bales to 217 lakh bales and now to 235 lakh bales.

The Indian textile industry is also highly flexible, says Textiles Intelligence, U.K. research
study. Large firms are able to export basic apparel products which require large-scale production,
while small and medium size firms can offer high fashion garments, which need to be manufactured
in small quantities and delivered quickly.
Besides apparel and home textiles, Indias Textile and Apparel Industry: Opportunities for
Sourcing, research study of Textiles Intelligence, U.K. examines Indias enormous yarn and fabrics
industry. While serving local needs, this industry has also emerged as a huge exporter and India
now ranks among the top few suppliers in the world. To help foreign companies locate competitive
suppliers in India, the research report profiles a large number of major Indian exporters. These
include 21 apparel exporting firms, six home textile companies and ten yarn and fabric suppliers.

CAUSES OF ABSENTEEISAM
Employees Absenteeism
28
Personal factor
Age, experience, dependents, income etc
A review of ten studies conducted between 1961and 1981 shows relationship between Personal
factors and absenteeism
*
There is no relationship between absenteeism and age, years of service, education, and
There is general tendency of no relationship between marital and absenteeism, one study
(Koshal&kosal, 1973) found single person to be less absent. Women were far less absent than men.
(Kosal & kosal). These studies found negative relationship between income and absenteeism. One
found that absenteeism increased with increasing income (pais, 1981) and other showed that only
* Sharma (1970) found single person to be less absent.
5 to10% increase in income was explained by absenteeism.
While Sharma found more regular workers showed relatively higher interest in union and
were active in unions, Singhal found no relationship between unionization and absenteeism.
Sinha and Gupta should that worker who displayed greater satisfaction of their various
needs tended to be more regular.
High absentees were less satisfied on autonomy and actualization needs, they suffered from
greater anxiety and showed negative co-relation which interpersonal perception, group cohesiveness
and interpersonal communication.
Bhatia and Valecha 1978 found the additional personal factors contributing to chronic
absenteeism
Chronic absentees have taken more loans and advances
Chronic absentees have higher sickness rate
Chronic absentees visited their hometowns more often
Chronic absentees took loan for day-to-day family expenses
Chronic absentees sent money home
Employees Absenteeism
29
Job Factors
A number of work related factors have been found to influence absenteeism India. Job
satisfaction, working condition, super vision and the like has contributed to the absentee behavior.
Sinha and Singh 1961 collected data on 50 workers of high absentee rate (20%) and 50 low
absentee workers (3%) The results show that workers with high absentee rate tended to be relatively
less satisfied with the nature of work, supervisors and super vision and company policy.
Supervisory style, which is less considerate of human feelings, leads to greater absenteeism.
The lesser the involvement in organizational activities the greater the absenteeism.
Greater absenteeism was found among badly workers and skilled workers
High absentees had less information about company structure and policies
Unfavourable
place

work
and

greater
absenteeism.
The less the transfers and changes and assignments, the more the absenteeism
The lesser the inclination to leave the present job, the more the absenteeism
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
In addition to personal and job factors a number of environmental factors also influence the
absentee behavior of the employees. Such factors as social and religious festivals, climate and
whether, village nexus, and non occupational sickness
Contribute to the absence from work.
May and June months represent relatively hot whether leading to uncomfortable conditions
of work.
Since in these months schools and colleges are closed workers tend to go on vacations.
These months have as many as 15 auspicious days per Hindu religious festivals
Most of the labour force comes from poor families living in crowed un hygienic houses and slums.
Employees Absenteeism

A large part of labour in industries is drawn from villages these people have not to learn to
adjust to fast, crowed and rigid urban life.
Un favorable mental attitude arising out of boredom, discontent with wages, resentment
against supervisors.
In plant causes
Personal causes
31
1. Innocent Absenteeism
Innocent absenteeism refers to employees who are absent for reasons beyond their control;
like sickness and injury. Innocent absenteeism is not culpable which means that it is blameless. In a
labour relations context this means that it cannot be remedied or treated by disciplinary measures.
2. Culpable Absenteeism
Culpable absenteeism refers to employees who are absent without authorization for reasons,
which are within their control. For instance, an employee who is on sick leave even though he/she is
not sick, and it can be proven that the employee was not sick, is guilty of culpable absenteeism.
Managing Absenteeism:
Granting that certain amount of absenteeism is unavoidable, what could be done to control
and minimize its occurrence.
Vaid (1967) reasons, that most of the workers need care and a belongingness, which they
received earlier in joint families; the industrial economy is not able to offer the same to them.
Chand and prakash (1970) based on their study recommended that organizations should regulate the
Employees Absenteeism
32
sick leave by strictly implementing the employee insurance scheme and establishing their own fully
equipped dispensaries and hospitals. Sreedharan Nair (1970) specifies the kind of education that
should be provided to workers. According to him, most workers are not aware of company policies
on leave rules. A knowledge and awareness of these polices can go a long way in curbing the
problem of absenteeism. He suggests introduction of leave bonus, encashment of available leave,
issuing attendance certificates, award for regular workers, and promotions based on attendance are
other important measures for managing absenteeism.
Krishnamurthy (1975) suggests improving the environment of work by providing
recreational facilities; subside in food items, and safety awareness.
Bhatia (1980) feels that instead of drastic clamp down, a gradual improvement in
controlling the absence is more desirable.
The following conclusions can be drawn from these recommendations. Education and
counselling: The organization should make an earnest attempt to disseminate the policies on
absenteeism to each and every worker. They should be educated on the need for attending work and
the consequences for not doing so. Bhatia 1984 studied the effect of counselling on attendance at
work.
A total of 621 habitual absentees were counselled for a period of 8 months. Counselling was
done at two levels one to one for 68 absentees, each session lost in for 22 to 30 minutes; and group
counselling for remainly 553 absentees lasting for two to three days.
To provide an opportunity to habitual absentees to understand themselves
To enhance their personal growth.
To realize a responsibility their work and family
Working Conditions: Studies suggest that better recreation facilities and leisure time activities help
reducing the high absenteeism. Safe working conditions, control on accidents and generally a
supportive environment goes a long way to attract and retain the worker on the job.
Incentives Schemes: An organization can manage its absenteeism by introducing an incentive
scheme. Attendance, leave encashment, recognition of attendance either by certificates or by cash
awards, attendance as criteria for promotion are some of the ways to achieve this. Since many
Employees Absenteeism
33
workers moon light to get more economic returns, scheme that may reduce hard ship may be useful.
Loans, credit facilities cooperative stores, job to family members etc.are ways to manage
absenteeism.
Motivation and Morale: Since workers do not always work for money alone, they should be
provided challenging jobs. Training, job rotation, organizational development activities,
participation in decision-making have been found to induce greater motivation and morale.
Additionally there is need to recognize workers contribution, show of appreciation whenever he
deserves and paying attention to his personal problems would also help to generate the kind of
motivation climate necessary for a worker to look forward to come to work.
Features of Absenteeism: Research studies under taken by different authors reveal the following
features of absenteeism.
The rate of absenteeism is the lowest on payday; it increases considerably on the days
following the payment of wages and bonus.
Absenteeism is generally high among the workers below 25 years of age and those
above 40 years of age.
Selecting the employees by testing them thoroughly regarding their aspirations, value
system, responsibility and sensitiveness.
