While some mega-projects are still awaiting approval, Calcutta
Riverside and a few others have got the nod from the West Bengal
government, the project to develop the 262-acre Batanagar estate into a
modern township, with a nine-hole golf course, high-end apartments, villas,
condominiums, a hotel, mall, IT park, hospital and school.
To cost Rs.1,200 cr, Calcutta Riverside is perhaps the most
high profile project under Section-14(z) of the West Bengal land reforms
amendment bill passed in August 2005, which envisages that sick or closed
industries, which require investment to become functional again, may sell of
their unused land, if part of their sale proceeds is used to restructure the units
or for the labour's welfare. Riverbank Holdings Private Limited, the 50-50 joint
venture between Bata India Limited and Calcutta Metropolitan Group Limited
(an alliance between Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority and United
Credit Bellani group), had a master plan ready combining commercial re-use of
land with socio-economic development of the areas in the Batanagar estate.
Its an equitable deal for the workers. The 1,097 families
living on the estate now are to be rehabilitated in new housing, with a built
space of 6,40,000 square feet. Further, the terms of Riverbank Holdings lay
down that within 30 days after the end of each calendar year, it must
contribute a sum of INR 35,00,000 for the benefit of the employees of BIL

modified version of these systems were introduced in the rubber factory also
from the week 37/2005.
These systems are: -
1. The departmental performance rating system.
2. The best employee of the month scheme.
Both the systems were introduced by the management to
involve employees (accord) for their active participation towards organizations
progress and also to improve departments better quantitative productivity and
consumer responsiveness.
Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important than
anything."

DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE RATI NG
SYSTEM ( LEATHER FACTORY) :
This system was initiated by the management in the leather
factory to measure the performance of departments and to create the healthy
competitive environment among the departments within the leather factory.
Objectives for introducing these schemes are as following:
Assess and monitor department performance with a view to rewarding
department that meets managements expectation.
Provide accurate feedback to departments so as to highlights their
strengths as well as their weaknesses, which can be used as an
effective continuous improvement tool.
Provide benchmark data, which will allow departments to establish
where they placed in relation to the best performance in the group.
This is a quantitative rating system in which maximum points
have been allotted to every factor. And points obtained by the department, are
the obtained percentage of points allotted to each respective factor. And total
points of each factor combined to obtained total marks earned by the
department.
Factors which are considered in the Total Department
Performance Rating System and their respective maximum points, allotted to
each factor as following:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 34
Delivery 20 points
Quality 30 points
Attendance 30 points
House keeping 20 points
Total points 100 points
Total department performance measured in the following terms:
total department performance rating
(Delivery + Quality + Attendance + Housekeeping)
Score Rating Remarks
90-100 A Excellent
75-89 B Good
65-74 C Average, Improvement required
50-64 D
Poor, Immediate Improvement
required
< 50 E Very Poor
Points of above factors are calculated as following:
1. Delivery ratings:- maximum 20 points have been allotted to delivery
ratings. Target for the delivery are decided in advance and delivery
points are based on percentage of target achievement.
For example:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 35
Delivery Target = 10000 pairs (for 5 days week)
Actual Delivery = 9500 pairs
Total % achieved = (9500/10000)*100 % =95 %
TOTAL DELI VERY POINTS= 95% OF 20 POI NTS
= 19 POI NTS
2. Quality Ratings: Maximum 30 points have been allotted to quality
ratings. This is based on defects score and rejects rate score. Here
three types of defects have been considered named as minor defects
(i.e. low impact) and major defect (i.e. high impact) and critical defect
(i.e. line stoppage etc.), And Reject rate score means percentage of
total defects (R-Pair) that occurs due to assembly and are avoidable
defects. Points for defects score and reject rate score are as following:
Quality ratings (max 30 points) = Defects score (max 20 points) + Reject rate
score (MAX 10 POINTS)
Each time there is a defect incident, and then each incident is scored as per
following formulae:
Defect Score
(max 20 points)
Minus 2 points for each minor defects (i.e. low impact)
Minus 5 points for each major defects (i.e. high impact)
Minus 10 points for each critical defect (i.e. line stoppage etc.)
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 36
R- PAIRS DUE TO ASSEMBLY AND AVOI DABLE DEFECTS
Score 0 - 2 - 4 - 6 -10
R- PAIRS <= 1.5 1.6-2.0 2.1-3.0 2.6-3.0 >3.0
3. Attendance Rating:- Maximum 30 points have been allotted to
attendance ratings. Attendance ratings are based on departments
attendance from salary statement. This is calculated on the basis of
mandays concept.
For example:- Departmental staff from salary statement = 37
Total achievable mandays in a week = (total staff * no. Of days in a week)
= (37*5) =185
Total absenteeism = 10 man days in a week
Total achieved mandays = 185-10 = 175 mandays
Total % achieved = (175/185)*100 % = 95 %
Total attendance points = 95 % OF 30 POI NTS = 28.5 points
4. House Keeping Rating:- maximum 20 points have been allotted to
house keeping rating. House keeping points are given by general
manager in consultation with group manager. House keeping points
are based on:
Racks & boxes are kept in order.
Machines are neat and clean.
Gang ways to be cleared.
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 37
After calculating each individual point, total points for the
department rating are calculated by adding all individual points.
Total marks obtained = (Delivery+Quality+Attendance+House keeping)
The department, which obtains maximum points, is awarded
as Best department of the month by the management receives rewards.
Rewards for the Best Department of the Month:
Shield / cup for the best department of the month.

For example: - In sandal conveyor (B.G.M.) if a department achieves
9500 pairs in a week that is 900 pairs more than scheduled production.
Production points are calculated:
Productivity points = (900/1400)*15 = 9.64 points.
(Here 1400 pairs as per productivity agreement in sandal conveyor.)
After calculating each individual point, total points for the
department rating are calculated by adding all individual points.

Performance appraisal system
( For managerial and clerical staff )
The current performance appraisal system for the clerical and
the managerial staff of Bata India Ltd, Batanagar plant, has been in
continuation since long. Performance appraisal form which is known here as the
Individual Progress Review is filled by the employee to be appraised in
consultation with his superior once in a year. The appraisee fills the detail about
his previously agreed specific or challenging task (including measurable
standards of performance) and actual achievements against standards of
performance. On the basis of which overall level of performance of the
appraisee is measured. The appraisee also gives detail about his individual
career planning including specific, challenging task for the next review period
(including target dates and standards of performance).
This performance appraisal system is a combination of critical
incidence method and grading method. This has been used specifically due to
the fact that performance of managerial and clerical staff is not measurable
(performance based), thats why critical incidents are included in this system,
which becomes performance standard for the performance review period and
on the basis of which appraisal is done.
Format of the performance appraisal system of Bata India Ltd,
Batanagar, which is being used as of now, has been given below:

Negatives:
1. Appraisees health condition and family problems have not been considered
in the performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical staff.
2. Personality traits of individuals are not taken into account.
3. More weightage is given to performance and not to potential of the
appraisee in the Performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical
staff.
4. In the department rating system productivity is given lowest point which
should be given more weightage in the rating system.
5. The effect of other factors (delivery, quality, and house keeping) overlaps
the effect of productivity and attendance.

departmental appraisal, the most important factors affecting the result
should be attendance followed by quality and house keeping whereas the
graphs shoe that:
1. The effect of quality and house keeping on the final score is more than
that of attendance.
2. Performance evaluation or appraisal ought to be based on productivity.
Graphs show that this effect on the final result is minimal.
3. The above two points indicate that the point difference between
departments regarding attendance and productivity are surpassed or

The Bar graphs drawn to show the effect of appraisal
on the productivity and thus the change in the performance in the next
month indicate significantly important factors such as:
1. A better appraisal rating tends to decrease the productivity level of the
department in the following month.
2. On the other hand, relatively lower appraisal ratings tend to increase
the productivity levels of the department in the following month, which
is expected.
3. Inconsistent performance of every department results in dis-
proportionate change in appraisal ratings.
4. It is evident that here, direct motivation ( i.e. motivation from success ) is
less important from indirect motivation ( i.e. motivation from failures ).
The current performance appraisal system of managerial and
clerical staff in Bata India Ltd., Batanagar plant has been quiet effective for a
long time. The management is getting its sufficient required inputs, which are
useful for decision making regarding promotion, increment etc. Some other
factors such potential and other personal characteristics of individuals have not
been taken into account, for this purpose I have been made some efforts to
make it more effective and helpful for management in the long run.
Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going.
Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is
really important

vc.ion.:
(For the department rating system)
After the analysis of appraisals of departments ( 321 to 327 )
in the months of J an 06 to J une 06, I have found that there is a very small
difference between the points of different factors (delivery, quality, house
keeping, attendance, and productivity). So the effect of some factors ( delivery,
quality, and house keeping ) overlaps the effect of the other important factors
i.e. productivity and attendance. To minimize these differences between the
points of different factors and to make this system more effective, here are
some suggestions:
1. Points on productivity ought to be 30 points, because department rating
system needs to be more dependent on productivity i.e. actual performance.
2. Points to be given to departments on percentile basis, where the maximum
scorer is supposed to be standard and is allotted 100 % marks.
3. Attendance points ought to be 20 points, the department should not be
penalize due to the legal or illegal absence of some individuals.
4. Delivery points ought to be 15 points, because delivery does not depend
solely on the one department.
5. Quality marks ought to be 20 points, because there is very small difference
between the obtained quality points of departments and it was not able to
make considerable effect on the final appraisal points. There should be some
changes in calculation of quality points. One suggestion has been given
here:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 63
Calculate the average of the percentage shoes with defects
and percentage shoes which are rejected, let this value be X. Find the
cumulative value of X in all departments of a particular unit / group, now to
calculate individual departments quality ratings. Find the percentage of X in
the cumulative value and subtract it from 20, this is the final quality score.
Example 1 : If defective pairs are (D
p
) 20 out of 12,000 and R - pairs (R
p
)
are 15 out of 12,000, then for that particular department :-
D
p
= 0.16 %
R
p
= 0.13 %
X = ( 0.16 + 0.13 ) / 2 = 0.142 %
Suppose, the cumulative value of X in the unit is 2.42 then,
Quality points = [ 20 - ( 0.142 / 2.42 ) * 100 ] = 14.13
Example 2 : Similarly, if the defective pieces are 45 out of 10,000 & R-pairs
are 53 out of 10,000, then for that particular department :-
D
p
= ( 45 / 10000 ) * 100 = 0.45 %
R
p
= ( 53 / 10000 ) * 100 = 0.53 %
X = ( 0.45 + 0.53 ) / 2 = 0.49 %
Suppose, the cumulative value of X in the unit is 4.9 then,
Quality points = [ 20 - ( 0.49 / 4.9 ) * 100 ] = 10
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 64
6. House keeping points ought to be 15 points, because all other factors should
given more weightage than housekeeping.
7. If productivity of the current month is positive in respect to previous month,
even by 1 % than only the department should be eligible for the best
department.

( For performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical staff )
The performance appraisal system of Bata India Ltd.,
Batanagar plant for its managerial and clerical staff has been quiet effective for
a long time. The management is getting its sufficient required inputs which are
useful for decision making regarding promotion increments etc. although it has
been quiet effective for a long time but there is a need to make amendments,
because it is based on the performance of employee, other factors such as
potential, and other personal factors has not been taken in to account. For this
purpose, I have been made some efforts to include these factors into current
performance appraisal system.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong .

Performance appraisal is not only to measure the performance
of an employee in terms of requirement of the job for which he is employed,
but also it is a process of estimating or judging the value, excellence and
quality of employee. The current appraisal system is based on performance of
employees, so some suggestions have been made to include the potential and
quality of employee, and also the provision for training needs of employee
which will make the performance appraisal system more effective. I think it will
be helpful for management and the organization in long run.
Tocn o{ /.cncci.n in vv 1nviv v.:
Apart from our regular project work in Bata India Ltd,
Batanagar plant, we were fortunate enough to get an opportunity to work on
the problem of absenteeism which is hampering the rate of growth of the
organization to a great deal. It has been observed that the phenomenon of
absenteeism does not exist only in Indian industries but it is a universal fact,
the only difference is in terms of magnitude. Reports show that some
engineering based industries in West Bengal, suffer from absenteeism in the
vicinity of 10.1 % to 17.3 % which is slightly on the higher side in the all India
perspective.
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 86
Random absenteeism data collected by me from a few
departments of the rubber factory shows a trend of employees in access of 9 %
being absent from work place. The actual figures might be more alarming.*
If we add 1 % of the employees coming late from scheduled start and 2 % of
employees taking one hour emergency leave, to the absenteeism figure of 9 %
the total man hours lost per day stands approximately at 1,900 hours out of
20,400 hours that is 9.3 %, it should be noted that the figures given here are
not accurate but only approximate indications.
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little
matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude

CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 97
In-depth analysis of department wise absenteeism datas and
graphs suggests hidden information and reasons that can be utmost
importance in organizational planning and decision-making. Clearly evident
suggestions include:
1. All departments show an increase or decrease in absenteeism in the same
time periods. It can be thus be said that the factors leading to absenteeism
are affect most people and most departments equally. Individual problem
goes out of the picture.
2. Absenteeism tends to be higher upto alarming levels (above 20%) 3 to 4
times in a year. In 2006 all department showed a steep rise in absenteeism
during 11
th
week, 23
rd
week, 43
rd
week, and 50
th
week.
3. It should be specially noted that week following holidays (ACPL) showed
high rate of absenteeism, this suggests the role of religious ceremonies and
employees going to their home towns is significant in determining the
causes of absenteeism.
4. It should be specifically noted that in 2006 weeks no. 21
st
, 29
th
, 35
th
, 44

,
and 51
st
showed tremendous decline in absenteeism (less than 5%) in all the
departments. The interesting fact here is that the difference between these
lowest tips is more or less equal (in the vicinity of 6 to 7 weeks).
Here we have tried to find out a few possible reasons for the
employees practice or habit of staying away from his scheduled work:
1. Maladjustment with colleagues coming from different religions and tastes
speaking different languages belonging to different socio economic
status.
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 98
2. Social and religious ceremonies.
3. Sickness, accidents and maternity.
4. For those staying far from their homes, frequent visits to their village are
a major cause of absenteeism.
5. Industrial fatigue.
6. Working conditions, heat, moisture, noise, vibrations, dust, fumes,
overcrowding etc.
7. Inadequacy to meet the performance standards.
8. Indebtedness.
9. Alcoholism.
10. Lack of commitment towards industrial growth.
11. Over identification with family affairs.
12. Dissatisfied with the status, importance or authority and responsibility
involved in his job.
Specifically the problem of absenteeism in Bata India Ltd,
Batanagar plant is a mere combination of all these factors. Out of these points
2, 3, 6, 8, 10 seem to be more effective and deeper causes for high rate of
absenteeism than the others. A few remedies or measures for control of
absenteeism have also been listed below:

CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 99
1. A well defined recruitment procedure that stresses on the employees
adaptability or the ability to change.
2. Study the level of motivation of workers and push them to thrive for
more.
3. Improved communication within various levels of organization and prompt
redressal of grievances.
4. Education programs for personal developments of individual employees.
5. Spread awareness of employees rights and obligations.
6. Trained the employees in group dynamics along with interpersonal skills.
7. Take measures to improve employees loyalty and devotion towards his
work and work place.
8. Regularity in attendance can be transformed in to monetary rewards and
other pecuniary inducements.
9. Provision for ever developing working conditions.
Above all, the employees should be communicated that it is
the religion of insects and animals to procure, eat and reproduce. If we are
born as human being it is our moral responsibility to do more.

The items under consideration in this field of enquiry or the

7 departments, 274 employees and 33 months (143 weeks). The volume of
data required the use of a sampling design which must result in a truly
representative sample, must result in a small sampling error and systematic
bias can be controlled in a better way. The most practical way of sampling in
this specific case as the systematic cluster sampling where groups of 6

Weekly data obtained for the research purpose was converted
into a monthly average so as to reduce the amount of data for analysis
purpose. The weeks containing less than 5 working days were extrapolated
to a 5 working days week standard. The monthly average basically
constituted of the first 4 weeks of that particular month. The external factors
effecting production were considered to be stable during the period in
question or various (if any) being negligible.
Individual departments ability to cope up with changing
production targets, periodical appraisals and training/ development
programs is to be determined by comparing these datas with other events
information and factual evidences.

These graphs shown here with percentage performance on
one axes and time duration (in months) on another is also known as the
learning curve as it represents the effect of learning through training
programs or by sheer experience on the performance (productivity) of
individuals, groups, departments and even organizations. Analysis of the
following graphs suggests that:
1. Departments fail to stick to their performance standards due to many
external factors such as absenteeism, frequent change in articles to be
produced etc.
2. Frequent ups and downs in the curve are visible which indicates variable
levels of efforts from the employees.
3. Pointed peaks and means that increase in level of performance or
decreased are short-lived. This indicates the involvement of a sense of
self-satisfaction at times and motivation from failure.
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 114
4. Unstable productivity levels tend to indicate the absence of training and
motivation programs, which constantly tries to improve performance of its
employees.
5. Curves of all the departments show a more or less similar trend, more
efficient production scheduling is possible when approximate improvement
or decrease in departments performance is predictable.
STORY OF A BUTTERFLY
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening
appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force
its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It
appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man
decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining
bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and
small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected
that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the
body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the
rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was
able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand
was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get
through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the
butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom
from the cocoon.

Mr. NRS (actual name not disclosed) is an accord employee
of BATA INDIA LTD. BATANAGAR. He is directly involved in the shoe
manufacturing conveyor. He was known to be a regular absentee, but at the
same time a multi skilled worker with lots of experience the organizations
personnel department looked at the possible option to solve this problem.
During the first half of 2007, NRS surpassed his casual and medical leaves
available by more than 125 (days), as per organizations SOR (Standing Orders
and Rules as in agreement with Bata Mazdoor Union). Show cause notices were
issued under section 15(h), requiring him to explain in writing, the reasons for
his continuous absence from work.
NRS replied within the stipulated time along with a Medical
Certificate proving his illness. An in depth scrutiny of the Medical Certificate
proved that the documents were fake under the provision of 19(A) of the SOR.
The guilty can be terminated from his present job. However the management
decided to give him one last chance to mend his ways (and not to lose a skilled
employee) and handed him three days suspension without pay. The personnel
manager planned the process to regularize his unauthorized absence and
fraudulent means by creating an atmosphere where NRS should fully recognize
What is expected of him in the future?
Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same

He was scaled by one manager and was
by another as was planned before to make him aware of his last golden
opportunity provided to him. As of date NRS is still an employee in BATA INDIA
LTD. And his problem has relatively minimized to a great deal. This incidence
proves that human resource planning is not only to follow the rulebook but also
to invent complimentary ways to solve such type of problems in long run
interest of the organization.

A permanent line cutter of a production department in BATA INDIA LTD,
Batanagar plant, Mr. SKR (actual identity not disclosed) was involved in a
particular job for sometime. As he was trailing behind his colleagues working in
the same conveyor, hampering the rate of production, was allotted a new job
by his immediate boss (Asst. officer) Mr. DKB (actual identity not disclosed for
obvious reasons) unable to mentally adapt to this decision to shift him to
another job. Mr. SKR started abusing his superior Mr. DKB and attempted to
physically assault him. He also threatened to cause him harm outside the
factory.
The case was reported to the personnel department the very
same day and a show cause notice issued to the defaulter Mr. SKR, to be

standing orders applicable to all industrial establishments of India. The said
employee pleaded guilty and was ashamed of his act and promised not to
repeat the same. The serious nature of the offence demanded disciplinary
action but considering it as his first minor offence was let of with a warning and
written undertaking.
This case is another fine example that the organization
provides ample opportunity to rectify their improper acts and every opportunity
provided to him to put forward his version of the unwanted event. Thus the
disciplinary policy is preventive, corrective, reformative rather than punitive.
Although one important information missing here is that whether the Asst.
officer Mr. DKB was advised to forgive and forget, which would have been the
perfect way to conclude this natural justice?

Who declared him fit to join his duties but he did not. Further show causes
were not replied. Finally the management decided to terminate him with effect
from 14/04/2006.
This highlights the peculiar and abnormal magnitude of
absenteeism prevailing in Indian industries. Thus the importance of taking such
decisions in the longer interest of the organization becomes absolutely
necessary at times. In order to send a clear message to the employees that
organizations tolerance has a limit. As such serious problems regarding
absenteeism involves heavy expenses including overhead costs of reserves as
well as of the idle equipments.

Bata India Ltd, Batanagar plant was the first instance our
career where the practical applications of managerial functions in an
organization were displayed before us. We got ample exposure to the versatility
of the managers role as a figurehead meeting the routine, obligatory, social &
legal duties, as a leader, maintaining, developing and motivating the human
resources, as a disseminator distributing selected information to others outside
the unit, as an entrepreneur developing the unit, to take advantage of existing
opportunities and anticipated threats, as a resource allocator integrating the
activities and resources utilization, as a negotiator, bridging the gap between

The management and employee unions and as a spokes
person to us, distributing selected information and conveying the
appropriate image of the unit.
Asst. Manager (Personnel) who guided me throughout this
project was instrumental in providing opportunities to directly get involved in
the day to day functioning of the department. He said books make manager,
but practical experiences make them successful. I worked on absenteeism,
late coming, early going, union demands on major organizational issues etc.
where the manager act as disturbance handler and has to take many
aggressive, unwanted decisions at times along with initiating some creating
ideas, keeping in view the long term interest of the organization.
I was invited at one of Bata India Ltd. Retirement/farewell
party to get ourselves acquainted with the organizational culture and
managements perspective towards its human resources. In a simply organized
program in the seminar hall of the personnel department, the organization bid
adieu to three of its employees after a long and dedicated service period in the
vicinity of 30-35 years. A soul touching speech was given by one of their pro-
colleague which touched the soul of everyone present on the occasion. He
said,This is not only to recognize their contribution over the years, but also to
learn from their experiences. Mementoes and gifts were given to the
departees and refreshments served to the gathering. The event was significant
in specifying the importance of a formal and planned separation of employees
from the organization.

I cherish the time spend in the leather factory, actually seeing
for the very first time, the step by step evolution of the various discrete parts
transformed into the final product, a shoe. Every shoe has to pass through
many hands, machine setup as a chain known as rink conveyors. Experienced
hands along with creative brains have elevated shoe manufacturing up to the
level of art. Its for sure now, that I shall value, each and every shoe that I am
going to buy in the near future. The finished goods after passing the quality
checks are tagged with quality symbols which Bata people call the ornament
of the shoes. They are than packed and travel hundreds and thousands of miles
to reach your feet.
Another experience worth sharing is visiting the Batanagar
estate. Stretching over 303 acres on the banks of the river Ganges, the area is
16 kilometers from kolkata. Developed during the 1930s under the British
colonial powers it has its own ferry-ghat, cinema-hall, sports-stadium, market,
hospital, residential colonies, community halls, auditorium, schools, children-
parks etc. this self sufficient estate is well connected with public conveyance
facilities to nearby towns. Maintenance of such a huge fixed asset infrastructure
for providing every possible facility to its employees is worth appreciating &
admittingly rarer these days. J ust as a fact, Batanagar once owned a Territorial
Army for security purposes, which adds a sense of nostalgia to the name of
Bata .
