Labour schemes in India
If we read the history of the industrialization we find that a constant struggle has been going on between
labour and capital. Capital has been exploiting the labour to their own maximum benefit for they have
better economic footing and power and further stand in better position to dictate their terms. It is
generally expected that solving labour problems is the major responsibility of the Government of any
country and the Government is vested with powers to enact and implement labour laws for solving
problems not only of labours but also of managements. The experience however has been made that
labour laws themselves cannot solve labour problems. After the independence, the cost of living has
considerably increased. The increase in the cost of living and countrywide political up surge found its
way in economic discontent among the masses, particularly in the industries. The industrial unrest and
economic discontent led to number of strikes and labour trouble. Workers were generally illiterate and
poor and unaware about their rights. Workers are weak in negotiating with the employer for employment
and wages. The employer dictated their own terms and conditions regarding wages and the employment.
The workers being in weaker position have no choice but to accept such terms for employment because
employment was the only means to earn their livelihood and feed their family.
The Government has made following Acts for the betterment of labours life :
1. The Factories Act 1948
2. The Payment of Wages Act 1936
3. The Industrial Employment Act (Standing Orders) 1946
4. The Workmens Compensation Act 1923
5. The Trade Union Act 1926
6. The Minimum Wages Act 1948
7. The Employees State Insurance Act 1948
8. The Employees Provident Funds Family Pension Fund and Deposit-linked Insurance Fund Act, 1952.
Welfare schemes
Welfare Scheme for Worker In the Unorganized Sector : The existing welfare schemes of the
unorganized sector which are widely scattered and fragmented will be integrated properly. This scheme of
social security for the unorganized rural labour would be designed to provide for protection during the
stoppage or diminution of income. Some institutions are engaged in providing group insurance to the
rural poor people
Country Wide-Scheme at Social Security : The benefit of uniform countrywide scheme can not reach
effectively in all the locations. The requirements of the working population and resources that can be
pooled from the workers the employers and the state or national level institutions differ from place to
place. As far as possible, new scheme are introduced considering the regional needs.
Old Age Pension Scheme : A few states namely, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu demonstrated the
viability and potential of old age Pension Scheme. These states have provided some form of social
assistance to the workers in the organised sector. However, the social security are not given to the
informal worker, migrated worker, child
Proper Health Care Arrangement For Poor: In case of unorganized workers he cannot sustain himself,
unless the work is available and he is fit for work his earning gets directly affected. So health aspect is
very important for an average worker who is poor. In this situation proper health care arrangement for the
worker should be made.
Risk at the Work Place : The health, hygiene and industrial safety set up, which has so far remained
confined mainly to manufacturing sector and should allocate a substantial part of each resources to
providing services to agricultural sector, which constitute majority of work force. The agricultural labour
is exposed to mainly potential risk at the work location. The hospital gets a large number of cases of
accident at work in the field. But in agriculture sector there is no provision for the health and safety for
labourers. Provisions are made to provide social security to agricultural labour in ninth plan.
Active Involvement of Employer : Any welfare scheme which is beneficial for the working population
in the unorganized sector has to be employed properly. The implementation of such scheme largely
depends upon the active involvement and economic support of the employer. Because identification of
beneficiary is possible, when employer supports the scheme. So the stress has to be given on the active
involvement of •iUe employer
