EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Labor sector addresses multi-dimensional socio-economic aspects affecting labor welfare,

productivity, living standards of labor force and social security. To raise living standards of the
work force and achieve higher productivity, skill up gradation through suitable training is of
utmost importance. Manpower development to provide adequate labor force of appropriate skills
and quality to different sectors is essential for rapid socioeconomic development. Employment
generation in all the productive sectors is one of the basic objectives. In this context, efforts are
being made for providing the environment for self-employment both in urban and rural areas.
During the Ninth Plan period, elimination of undesirable practices such as child labor, bonded
labor, and aspects such as ensuring workers’ safety and social security, looking after labor
welfare and providing of the necessary support measures for sorting out problems relating to
employment of both men and women workers in different sectors has received priority attention.
The improvement of safety, health and working conditions depends ultimately upon people
working together, whether governments, employers or workers. Safety management involves the
functions of planning, identifying problem areas, coordinating, controlling and directing the
safety activities at the work site, all aimed at the prevention of accidents and ill health (figure 1).
Accident prevention is often misunderstood, for most people believe wrongly that the word
“accident” is synonymous with “injury”. This assumes that no accident is of importance unless it
results in an injury. Construction managers are obviously concerned with injuries to the workers,
but their prime concern should be with the dangerous conditions that produced the injury – with
the “incident” rather than the “injury”. On a construction site there are many more “incidents”
than injuries. A dangerous act can be performed hundreds of times before it results in an injury,
and it is to eliminate these potential dangers that managers’ efforts must be directed. They cannot
afford to wait for human or material damage before doing anything. So safety management
means applying safety measures before accidents happen. Effective safety management has two
main objectives:
– To make the environment safe;
– To make the job safe,

INTRODUCTION
1. 1INDUSTRY PROFILE
Biscuit industry is one of the major food and beverage industry under FMCG industry. It is
growing at a rapid rate in developing countries.
OVER VIEW OF THE INDIAN BUSCUIT INDUSTRY
Biscuit industry contribute Rs 8,000 crore to the FMCG industry and provide a vast
opportunity for growth, as the per capita consumption of biscuits is less than 2.1 kg 3kg in
our country. India It is classified under two sectors: organized and unorganized. Branded
/Organized to Unbranded/Un organized market share of biscuit has been 70% for
organized sector and 30% for unorganized sector. Apart from Big 3 (Britannia, Parle, ITC)
there are around 150 medium to small biscuit factory in India. The Industry is now facing
problem from increase of raw material price. With Government VAT up to 12.5% has
added to their woes .Biscuit consumption per capita in India has grown to 2.1kg per capita
in comparison to 10kg per capita consumption in USA, UK and Europe. India Biscuits
Industry came into limelight and started gaining a sound status in the bakery industry in the
later part of 20th century when the urbanized society called for readymade food products at
a tenable cost. Biscuits were assumed as sick-man's diet in earlier days. Now, it has
become one of the most loved fast food products for every age group. Biscuits are easy to
carry, tasty to eat, cholesterol free and reasonable at cost. States that have the larger intake
of biscuits are Maharashtra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh.
Maharashtra and West Bengal, the most industrially developed states, hold the maximum
amount of consumption of biscuits Even, the rural sector consumes.

 Biscuit industry in India in the organized sector produces around 60% of the total
production, the balance 40% being contributed by the unorganized bakeries. The
industry consists of two large scale manufacturers, around 50 medium scale brands and
small scale units ranging up to 2500 units in the country, as at 2000-01. The
unorganized sector is estimated to have approximately 30,000 small & tiny bakeries
across the country.
 The annual turnover of the organized sector of the biscuit manufacturers (as at 2001-02)
is Rs. 4,350 crores.
 In terms of volume biscuit production by the organized segment in 2001-02 is estimated
at 1.30 million tones. The major Brands of biscuits are - Britannia, Parley Bakeman,
Priya Gold, Elite, Cremica, Dukes, Anupam, Horlicks, Craze, Nezone, besides various
regional/State brands.
 Biscuit industry which was till then reserved in the SSI Sector, was unreserved in 1997-
98, in accordance with the Govt Policy, based on the recommendations of the Abid
Hussain Committee.
 The annual production of biscuit in the organized sector continues to be predominantly

in the small and medium sale sector before and after de-reservation. The annual
production was around 7.4 Lakh tones in 1997-98 in the next five years, biscuit
production witnessed an annual growth of 10% to 12%, up to 1999-00.
 The annual Growth showed a decline of 3.5% in 2000-01, mainly due to 100% hike in
Central Excise Duty (from 9% to 16%). Production in the year 2001-02 increased very
marginally by 2.75% where in 2002-03 the growth is around 3%.
 The Union Budget for 2003-04 granted 50% reduction in the rate of Excise Duty on
Biscuit i.e. from 16% to 8%. The Federation's estimate for the current year indicates a
growth of approximately 8% to 9%.

 However the average utilization of installed capacity by biscuit manufacturers in the

country has been a dismal 60% over the last decade up to 2001-02.
 Though dereservation resulted in a few MNCs, i.e. Sara Lee, Kellogg’s SmithKline
Beecham, Heinz etc entering the biscuit industry in India, most of them, with the
exception of SmithKline Beecham (Horlicks Biscuits), have ceased production in the
country.
 On the other hand, import of biscuits, especially in the high price segment has started
from 1998-99, but however, the quantum of imports has not so far increased alarmingly
and has remained at around 3.75% of the consumption of biscuits in the country in the
year 2001-02. However, recent imports from china industries cheaper verities of biscuit,
needs to be examined with cautions, especially in the context of the price as the low
margin based domestic industry, which is operating at 60 % of the total installed capital.
An export of biscuits from India has been to the extent of 5.5% of the total production.
Exports are expected to grow only in the year 2003-04 and beyond.
 Biscuit is a hygienically packaged nutritious snack food available at very competitive

prices, volumes and different tastes. According to the NCAER Study, biscuit is
predominantly consumed by people from the lower strata of society, particularly
children in both rural and urban areas with an average monthly income of Rs. 750.00.
 Biscuit can he broadly categorized into the following segments: ( Based on production
of 2000 - -2001)
Glucose 44%
Marie 13%
Cream 10%
Crackers 13%
Milk 12%
Others 8%

 In recognition of industry's obligations towards the community, being a part of it,

biscuit manufacturers supply biscuits to the social welfare agencies in all States for the
benefit of school children, senior citizens and other needy sections of the society. FBMI
Members have always responded positively to our appeal as also by the Government, to
rush truck loads of biscuits to the people affected by earthquakes, floods, famine etc.
Our industry has also participated in supplying biscuits to the people of war ravaged
Afghanistan and presently to the Iraqi people, under the aegis of the UN.
 As regards the consumption pattern is concerned surveys and estimates by industry
from time to time indicate the average consumption scenario in the four zones have
been more.
Northern States: 28%

Southern States: 24%
Western States: 25%
Eastern States: 23%
 Though India is considered as the third largest producer of Biscuits after USA and
China, the per capita consumption of biscuits in our country is only 2.1 Kg., compared
to more than 10 kg in the USA, UK and West European countries and above 4.25 kg in
south East Asian countries, Le. Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia etc. China
has a per capita consumption of 1.90 kg, while in the case of Japan it is estimated at 7.5
kg.
 In view of the meager per capita consumption even as penetration of biscuits

manufactured by the organized sector, into rural areas in India, has been very good
during the last 10 years, as also in the metro and other cities, small towns etc. However,
in spite of this, the industry has not been able to utilize about half of their installed
capacities.

 Biscuit is a comparatively low margin food product in the PMCG (Packaged Mass
Consumption Goods) sector. The commodity is also price sensitive, as a consequence of
which, even when the Excise Duty was doubled on biscuits in 2000-01 biscuit
manufacturers, including the major brands, were not able hike MRPs to the extent of the
steep increase in the Duty. Taxation, both Central Excise Duty as also State Sales Tax,
other miscellaneous levies i.e. turnover tax, local area tax, mandi taxes, purchase tax,
octroi etc, has been a major deterrent in the growth of the biscuit industry. The CII
Study Report has identified Biscuit as one of the products that should treated as "Merit
Good for the purpose of liberal tax policy both by the Centre and States.
 Besides lack of technology up gradation in manufacturing, packaging etc has also been
a factor affecting our industry, along with inadequate financial credit and support
particularly for the medium and small scale biscuit units.
 On the other hand, the Government of India has identified food processing industries as
a priority area to be encouraged for growth and development and created the Ministry
of Food Processing Industries (which was till then a Dept in the Ministry of
Agriculture), headed by an Ministry of State with Independent charge.
 The Food Processing Ministry has been rendering yeomen service to the industry, of
which biscuit manufacturing is an important part. The Ministry, with the objective of
enabling food processing Industries to undertake technology up gradation
diversification. expansion as also to set up new units has formulated scheme of Grants
and Financial Assistance.
 Other areas of concern to industries of food products like Biscuits include multiplicity
of food laws and their enforcing agencies in the Central and State Governments with
overlapping functions & implementation. At the persistent instance of industry

organizations including FBMI the Ministry of FPI took the initiative in evolving an
Integrated Food Act, harmonizing the existing multifarious legislations enabling better
compliance. The Draft Unfiled Food Bill 2002 has been prepared and now awaits
approval by the Cabinet and the Parliament, which will fulfil an important need of the
industry and pave way for accelerated development and growth.
 Biscuit manufacturing as well as other bakery products like Bread etc are agro based
industries, with the major inputs - wheat flour/atta sugar, milk vanaspati/vegetable oil
etc all being agriculture produces.
 Industries such as Biscuit are also languishing as they are not able to achieve their
potentials for higher production, in the absence of the concrete food Processing Industry
Policy. FBMI in close coordination with other organizations and apex Chambers,
initiated to urge the Govt of India to formulate a comprehensive Policy Document, for
smooth growth and harmonious development of the industry. The Food Processing
Industry Policy, which has been evolved as a result of various workshops, deliberations
and representations by a large cross section of food processing industries, is yet to be
finalized. It is hoped that the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, GOI would initiate
action for implementation of the Policy expeditiously.
The process of biscuit manufacturing involves the following stages:
MIXING:
This is a process where all ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough
formation. These ingredients are then fed into Mixers where mixing is done
and dough is prepared for moulding/cutting .Major ingredients are flour, fat, sugar and
others as per the product one would like to have.
MOULDING:

In this section we laminate the dough into sheet, which then passes down to gauge rollers,
and sheet thickness is achieved for moulder/cutter. Here we have a cutter or moulder as
per the variety where one gets the shape and sizes of biscuits.
BAKING:
This is the area where we pass these moulded wet biscuit into baking oven.
The biscuits are baked on desired temperatures. Various type of heating are available now
days as per the convenience and cost. Different type ovens are available.
High level of competition within the industry has lead to innovations in

several areas, thereby raising the overall capability levels in the sector. This
will facilitate sustained growth in the sector and help it to become globally.
SWOT ANALISYS
Strengths
 Brand building capabilities: Brand image of the company existing in the industry, every
company has a strong brand image to consumers.
 Diversified product range of the industry covering al segments.
 The depth of distribution
 Low and mid price range of the product.
 Industry catering to masses, as in most developing economies, increasing purchasing
power is aiding the shift to affordable options.
Weaknesses:
 Dependence on retailers and grocery stores for displaying diversified products on shelf.
 Lack of technology up gradation
Opportunities:

 Indian Biscuit Manufacturers’ Association (IBMA) estimates annual growth

of around 20% in next couple of years.
 The $220 Billion food industry is expected to grow to $300 Billion by 2015.
Threats:
 Per capita consumption of Biscuits in the country is only 1.8 kg as
compared to2.5 kg to 5.5 kg in South East Asian countries and European countries,
and 7.5 kg in USA.
 The Sales Tax or VAT rates for all machinery used should be lowered to the
concessional rate of 4%.

Nature of Labor Welfare:
Welfare is broad concept which referrers to a state of living of an individual or a group, in a

desirable relationship with the total environment, ecological, economic and social. Labor welfare
includes both social and economic contents of welfare. Social welfare is primarily concerned
with the solutions of various problems of the weaker sections of the society like prevention of
poverty. It aims at social developments by such means of social legislation, social services etc.
The object of economic welfare is to promote economic developments by increasing production
and productivity through equitable distribution .Labor welfare is a part of social welfare
conceptually and operationally .It covers a broad field and denotes well being, happiness,
satisfaction, conservation and developments of human resources .Labor welfare may be viewed
as a total concept, as a social concept and as a relative concept. These concepts include a
desirable state of existence involving the physical, mental, moral and emotional well being.

.These four elements together constitute the structure of welfare on which its totality is based
.The social concept of welfare implies the welfare of man ,his family and his community .All
these three aspects are inter –related and work together in a three dimensional approach .T his
relative concept of welfare implies that welfare is relative in time and place .
Scope of Labor Welfare:-

It is very difficult to lay down accurately the scope of labor welfare because of the fact that
labor is composed of dynamic individuals with complexity of needs. In the world of changing
values where ideologies are rapidly changing and undergoing transformation, rigid statement
about the field of labor welfare needs to be revised. The labor welfare work is increasing day by
day with increasing opportunities. It is also increasing with the growing knowledge, experience
and techniques. The test of the welfare activities is that as to how it removes directly and
indirectly the hindrances and restores to the worker the peaceful and joyful living. The welfare
work is concerned with worker and his family and so an able welfare officer program me’s the
activities by taking the care of the worker and his family.
Objectives of Labor Welfare:

Welfare measures generally aim to ensure social health and economic security to the worker,
increases their satisfaction and raise their standard of living. The following are the basic
objective of the labor welfare facilities.
1. Creating a sense of commitment and loyalty among the workers.
2. Imposing numerous restrictions on the employer for the health and physical well being of the
employees.
3. Ensuring social and economic security of the workers.
4. Inculcating leadership qualities and team spirit.
5. Reducing absenteeism among the workers and encouraging them For regular attendance.
6. Attracting and retaining talent and skill.
7. Improving industrial relations.

8. Building up a good image of the company.

9. Promoting harmony and developing co-ordination among the Workers.
10. Building up a stable labor force.
11. Improving the productivity of the workers.
Need for Labor Welfare:

The need for labor welfare arises from the very nature of industrial system which is having two
basic characteristic ,one the condition under which the worker have to work or not congenial
for health and second the worker has to work an entirely strange atmosphere creating Problems
of adjustment. The working condition in the factory adversely affects the health of the worker
because of the excessive heat or cold, noise, dust, lack of pure air etc. It results into
occupational health problems and diseases for the workers and so it becomes necessary on the
part of management to provide protective services and compensatory benefits.
Principles of Labor Welfare:

Following are the principles for successful implementation of any welfare programme in an
organization:
1) The labor welfare activities should pervade the entire hierarchy of an organization
2) Management should be welfare oriented at every level.
3) The employer should not bargain labor welfare as a substitute for wages or monetary
incentives.
4) There should be periodical assessment or evaluation of welfare measures and necessary
improvements on the basis of feedback.
5) The management should ensure co-operation and active participation of unions and workers
in formulating and implementing labor welfare programme.
6) The labor welfare work of an organization must be administratively viable and essentially
development oriented.

7) There should be proper co-ordination, harmony and integration of all labor welfare services
in undertakings.
8) The employer should look after the welfare of his employees as a matter of social obligation.
Theories of Labor Welfare:

The Police Theory:
This is based on the contention that a minimum standard of welfare necessary for laborers. This
theory assumes that man is selfish and self –cent red and always tries to achieve his own ends,
even at the cost of the welfare of others. According to this theory, owners and managers of
industrial undertakings get many opportunities for exploitation of labor. The state has to
intervene to provide minimum standard of welfare to the working class. A number of laws were
enacted to compel management to provide mini u wages, congenial working conditions,
reasonable hours of work and social security.
The Religious Theory:

This is based on the concept that man is essentially “a religious animal”. Many acts of man are
related to religious sentiments and beliefs. These religious feeling sometimes prompt an
employer to take up welfare activities in the expectation of future either in this life, or after it.
According to this theory, any good work is considered as an investment by which both the
benefactor and the beneficiary are rewarded.
The Trusteeship Theory:

This is also called the Paternalistic Theory of labor welfare, according to which “the
industrialist or employer holds the total industrial estate, properties, and profits accruing from
them in a trust.”The employer should hold the industrial assets for himself, for the benefit of
his workers and also for society. The main emphasis of this theory is that employers should
provide funds on an on-going basis for the well being of their employees. Mahatma Gandhi
very strongly advocated this theory. But it is easily talked about than practiced. Labor welfare
under this philosophy depends on the initiative of the top management. Since it has no legal
sanction, its value is related to the moral conscience of the industrialist.

The Philanthropic Theory:

This theory is based on man’s love for mankind .In Greek “Philos” means loving and“antropes”
means man .So philanthropic means “loving mankind”. Man is believed to have an instinctive
urge by which he strives to remove the suffering of others and promote their well being. The
labor welfare movement began in the early years of the industrial revolution with the support of
philanthropists as Robert Owen .The philanthropic acts of welfare may sometimes defeat the
very purpose of welfare.
The Placating Theory:

This theory is based on the fact that labor groups are becoming demanding and militant, and
more conscious of their rights and privileges than ever before. Their demand for higher wages
and better standards of living cannot be ignored. According to this theory, timely and
periodically acts of labor welfare can appease the workers. They are some kind of pacifiers
which come with a friendly gesture.
The Public Relations Theory:

This theory provides the basis for an atmosphere of goodwill between labor and management
and also between management and the public .Labor welfare programmes under this theory,
work as a sort of an advertisement and help an organization to project its good image and build
up and promote good and healthy public relations. But this kind of programme may also lack in
sincerity and continuity. When such a programme loose its advertisement value, it may be
neglected by the employer even through it is still useful for the employees
The Functional Theory:

This is also called the efficiency Theory. Welfare work is used as a means to secure, preserve
and develop the efficiency and productivity of labour.The is obvious that if an employer takes
good care of his workers, they will tend to become more efficient and will thereby step up
production. But all this will depend on a healthy collaboration between union and management
and their mutual concern for growth and development of the industry. Any higher production is

of benefit to both management and labour.The latter will get better wages and perhaps a share
in the profits.
Legislative Enhancements:
The government of India passed the following acts for the welfare and social security of the
workers in the country.
1. The Factories Act -1948
2. The Minimum wages Act-1948
3. The Employees Provident Fund Act-1952.
4. The Employees State Insurance Act-1948.
5. The Workmen’s Compensation Act -1923.
6. The Industrial Dispute Act-1947.
7. The Payment of Wages Act-1936.
8. The Trade Unions Act-1926.
9. The payment Of Gratuity Act-1972.
10. The Industrial Employment Act -1946.
11. The Apprentices Act -1961.
12. The maternity Benefit Act-1961.
Classification of Labor Welfare Activities: -

The labor welfare facilities can be classified as under.
 Statutory
 Non statutory
 Mutual
Statutory Welfare Facilities:-

The statutory welfare measures are those which have emerged from various acts passed by the
Government. It is legally binding on the part of Management to offer these welfare facilities.

These are connected with cleanliness, ventilation, temperature, lighting, drinking water, latrines
and urinals, rest rooms. Canteen etc.
Non-Statutory Welfare Facilities:

Voluntary welfare facilities are provided voluntarily by the employer for his workers. These are
provided to keep the labors force happy and contended. Such facilities may be called as non –
statutory facilities. These are primarily oriented to democratic value system. The Trade unions
played an important role in bringing forth these facilities. Such facilities depend upon the
increase the efficiency of the workers and reduce the conflict between the employers and the
employees.
Mutual Welfare Facilities:

Mutual welfare facilities refer to such activities which are initiated by the workers for their
betterment in a suitable manner either through the trade union or through the formation of the
co-operatives.
Importance of Labor Welfare:

The importance of labor welfare for the all development of the workers cannot be over
emphasized. It affects the worker physically, mentally and emotionally. The planning commit
ion in our country has rightly observed the importance of labor welfare .It pointed out that if
management wants to take out the best of worker in the matter of production then the working
conditions are to be necessarily improved .The worker should at least have the facilities to keep
himself in a state of health and efficiency .It is primarily concerned with the question of
adequate nutrition and suitable housing conditions.

1.3 IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC
The study of labor welfare covers the company providing the welfare schemes to labors, the
hygienic is maintained by the company and the company maintaining the safety precautions
.the focus of the study is confined to an organization “Parsons Nutritionals Private. Limited”. It
helps to understand the worker atmosphere at the work place and helps the company to check if
the exisisting schemes are providing good facilities to worker or not.
1.4NEEDS OF THE STUDY
Organization considers the Labors as one of the most important assets of the organization. So it
is important for the every organization. The present study helps to know about welfare
practices followed by the company and problem faced by them and appropriate measure that
has to be taken in improving welfare activities.

2. RESTOATION
3. PRVENTION
COMPENSTION:
 It ensure security of income
 It is based on this consideration that during the period of contingency of risk
RESTORATION:
It con notates cure of one’s sickness.
PREVENTION:

employer and the government.
SOCIAL SECURITY MEASURES IN INDIA:

In the pre-industrial society, security against various contingencies was provided by the
institution like joint family, caste, guild, village community, religious institution, etc .Eventually;
the emergence of industrial revolution changed both the nature of nines security as well as the
remedies provided for it. The United States of America is considered to be the birth place of
modern social security Act, 1935 under which a United Social Insurance System was established
as the first major step taken in the field of social security .An old age pension system was also
established by the Act of 1935. In 1938, a social security Board was set up to administer social
security measures in the United States. Later on, the term “social security” was adopted in
various countries, of course, in different forms.
The introduction of social security measures in India is expectedly a recent one. In fact, the
making of climate for industrial security in India started from the 10th session of the
International Labor Conference held in1927 in which two convention and recommendations
were adopted for social security in the country.

These were discussed thread by bare in the Indian Legislatively Assembly in1928. However, the
Assembly resolved that the introduction of any comprehensive scheme for social security on the
lines proposed by the ILO was impracticable under conditions then prevailing in the country
.Later, the preparatory Asian Regional Labor Conference, held in New Delhi in 1947 adopted a
comprehensive resolution on social security implementation in various Asian Countries.
Following this resolution, the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 was enacted in India to
inaugurate the social security measures in the country.
As stated earlier, India, as a “Welfare State”, is expected to take care of the citizens from the
„cradle to the grave‟. It is this realization; the constitution of India lays down that the State shall,
within the limits of its resources and development, make effective provisions for securing public
assistance in event of unemployment, old age, sickness, and disablement. The constitutional
obligation has served as epoch-making in India’s effort in the field of social security schemes
have been introduced in the country. Among the social assistance schemes, oldage assistance
schemes are the most important ones. It was the Government of Uttar Pradesh who introduced
old-age assistance scheme for the first time in 1957. The scheme was designed to pay a monthly
benefit to needy individual over the age of 70 years who had no one to support them. Later on,
similar schemes were introduced in Andra Pradesh yes, the eligibility condition to avail of these
benefits and level of benefit differ across the states. Subsequently, with increasing need for social
Security along with the increasing level of national protection against uncertainties in their lives.

sufficiently trained or is working under the supervision of knowledgeable person.

The welfare measures are more important for every employee, without welfare measure
employee cannot work effectively in the organization. Social security’s measure like workmen
compensation, maternity benefit, old age benefit, medical benefit and family welfare benefit are
very important. The organization by providing better social security’s to employee the
satisfaction towards job can be improved. But they are lacking in canteen facilities, worker’s
education facilities, marketing co-operative credit societies. They should take necessary steps to
