INTRODUCTION
Those organizations those are able to achieve their goals because the
organizations either big or small are providing the welfare measures to the
employees.
Welfare refers to a condition of living of an individual or group in a
desirable and happy state of relationships with whom economical and social,
ecological welfare means environment friendly existence, ecological balance
pollution existence and proper sanitation.
The term welfare as it suggest the ideas, meanings and conditions such as
the state of well-being, health, happiness, prosperity, and the development of
human resource. The concept welfare can be approached from various angles;
welfare has been described as a total in order to establish the manpower their work
and achievement of the organizational objectives.
Thus manpower is a vital ingredient for the success of an organization,
making the task of good labour welfare system in organization and resources
utilized of personnel management.
The employees who join the organization today have different values and
norms. Their expectations are different and they are more competent and more
informed than the employees were in the past.

Bharat Heavy Plate & Vessels Ltd., started off in 1966 as fully owned
government company for Design, Manufacture & Supply of capital equipment
required for process industries in the core sector such as Fertilizers, oil refineries &
Petrochemicals etc.
Manufacturers of Columns, Pressure, Vessels, High Pressure Heat
Exchangers, Air and Gas Separation Plants, Evaporation Plants, Boilers, Fried
Heaters, Reformers, Feed Heating Systems, Complete Systems, Digester and
Sophisticated Process Equipment with Computer Aided Designs (CAD).
Due to various factors, there were heavy losses and the company was
declared sick by the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in
October, 2005. Later, with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction's
(BIFR) sanction of the Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme envisaging merger
of Bharat Heavy Plate and Vessels Limited (BHEL-HP&VP) with the Maharatna
Company Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), BHEL-HP&VP has become
the 17th manufacturing unit of BHEL. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)
took over BHEL-HP&VP as its 100 percent subsidiary in 2008. However, the
Company’s performance was not up to the mark, as it remained a separate
company and it could not derive full benefits of synergy with BHEL.
The unit thereafter named as Heavy Plates and Vessels Plant (HPVP),
Vishakhapatnam. The Appointed date for the merger is 1st October 2011. Till now,
BHEL-HP&VP was a wholly owned subsidiary of BHEL. After the Union
cabinet's approval in February 2013, the merger scheme was filed with BIFR in
March 2013 and the entire merger exercise was completed in a record time of 5
months thereafter.

The provisions of social security benefits are a kind of investment that offers
good dividends in long run. The organizations need to provide various security
benefits such as medical care, mortality benefits, pension etc., as specified by law.
The company having realized the importance of welfare and social security
measures introduced several welfare schemes for its workers and the families. The
company provides statutory welfare facilities like drinking water, conservancy,
medical appliances, canteen, rest shelters, crèches etc. it also provides various non
statutory welfare facilities such as medical, education, recreation, housing/quarters,
consumer cooperative stores, consumer co-operative credit society etc. it provides
social security measures like provident fund, gratuity, pension, dependent
employment etc.
The present study is an attempt to make an enquiry into the various facets of
employee welfare and social security measures in Bharat Heavy Plate &Vessels
Limited, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The scope of the present study is both
wide and narrow. It is wide because it covers almost all the components of welfare
and social security measures.
Organizations should develop sound policies in regard to human side of
enterprise. Such policies are not only a statement of management intentions and
indicate the basic organizational approach towards human factor, but also provide
the much needed frame work to guide actions of functionaries in taking important
decisions on employee welfare and welfare and social security measures.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Primary data:
The primary data (samples) consist of original information that is to be
collected from the employees of the organization (BHEL). It is collected for
through administering the questionnaire by direct contact and also through direct
observation to obtain the insights of the information.
Questions will be framed in such a way that the answers reflect the ideas and
thoughts of the respondents with regard to level of satisfactions. For job related
factors “Likert Scale” (five rating scale) is to be used in which respondents are
required to show their level of satisfaction from 1 to 5 where (A= Excellent,
2=very Good, 3= Good, 4= Average, 5= Poor). Some facts that may be revealed in
the study will be based on personal observations also. For personal observations
simple category is used and respondents are required to tick the appropriate box.
Secondary Source:
11
The secondary data consist of information that already exists and which has
been collected by some persons, at some other time for the purpose. The secondary
data is mostly collected from books, Journals, reports, internet Sources.
Sampling technique:
Stratified random sampling is a technique which attempts to restrict the
possible samples to those which are not extreme by ensuring that all the parts of
the population are represented in the sample in order to increase the efficiency. To
get the information from stratified sampling method primary and secondary data is
been used.
Analysis of data:
The data thus collected through various sources was interpreted and
analyzed. The data collected through questionnaires were tabulated and then
analyzed by using statistical method such as Simple Percentile Method.
Tabulation:
Tabulation is the last stage in the compilation of data and forms the basis for
its statistical treatment from answers to questions with which the investigator is
concerned.
Note:- Research Methodology is discussed in future chapters.
3. The researcher did not have sufficient funds for the study or material wanted
hence could not be able to get enough information.
4. Some of the employers could not reveal much information for the fear of
management and due to confidentiality, some do not cooperate with the
researcher and some cannot understand the questioner and some fear the job
security.
5. The researcher cannot have sufficient time to get the information from the
employees and the time for the project also is limited.

COMPANY PROFILE
General information:
Genesis:
LOCATION:
Past ten years turnover are given here: In 1996-97 it has recorded on
turnover of Rs. 29998 lakhs i.e. all time high. But due to lack of orders in 2003-
2004, BHEL has a made turnover is 5956 lakhs only.
Past 10 years turnover are as follows.
HISTORY OF BHEL:-
Licensed to start construction of plant at Visakhapatnam in 1966, BHEL
confronted many obstacles such as water problems, frequent power cuts both at
initial stage as well as at the time when construction was going on. In spite of all
those obstacles the civil and structural work was completed to a mojor extent by
the end of 31st March,1967. the licensed and installed capacity is 23210MT. the
initial capital outlay being Rs.17.5 crores. Later after completion of installation
work BHEL had received orders for the 1st time from M/S BOKARO steel plant
and installation of fabricating machinery like bending rolls, welding equipment etc.
17
During the first year production, the company has incurred a loss of Rs
27.47 lakhs mainly due to incidence of fixed expenditure apportion able to
production like establishment, depreciation etc. The same loss position was
continued till 1978-1979. the continuous losses put BHEL far from profiteering
companies. The existence of excessive accumulated interest on loan taken from
GOI resulted in heavy loss to the company. In 1978-1979 the company had
suffered a loss of Rs 538 lakhs due to incidence of delayed delivery of equipment ,
excessive increase in cost of imported raw material and other administration costs.
In later years the situation was improved through collective and expeditious efforts
of employees of the company.
After a series of continuous loss years, BHEL, for the first time in its history,
in 1979-1980 has witnesses several significant events both on financial as well as
production fronts. BHEL for the first time in its years of commercial production
attained a break-even level with a marginal profit of Rs 33.09 lakhs as against a net
loss of Rs 129 lakhs projected at the beginning of the year. During 1980-81 the
company for the second consecutive year, earned a net profit (after tax) RS 48.21
lakhs from its operations. This year BHEL Ltd operations include manufacturing
of very critical and sophisticated equipment to core industries. Again in 1981-82
the company operations resulted in a net profit of Rs 60.19 lakhs as against a
budgeted loss of Rs 20 lakhs. Major pending interest on loan from GOI was
cleared in this year. During 1982-83 BHEL reached 100% target production and
resulted in a net profit of Rs 103.71 lakhs as against the budgeted loss of RS 95
lakhs. With prestigious work orders from Visakhapatnam steel plant for supply of
air and gas separation plants BHEL crosses a target production and its operation
resulated in anet profit of Rs 575 lakhs.
The year 1986-87 is treated to be the dark year of BHEL. Since its entance
into threshold of profit arena, it could not achieve its set motto of beyond billion
barriers. Sinking of a ship carrying bulk of raw material and its components
alackening demand for process equipment etc., resulted in a short fall in production
and hence company suffered a loss of Rs 170 lakhs. Again in 1987-88 BHEL’s
projects were successfully fabricated and its profits took an uoward trend and its
18
Details of turnover, profitability for the period from 1996-97 to 2013-14 are as
follows:

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Government of India did very little in the field of employee’s welfare till
Second World War. It was during the Second World War that the Government of
India, for the first time launched schemes for employees’ welfare in their
ordinance, ammunition and to war industries to increase productivity of the
workers and keep up their morale. With the achievement of independence and
emergence of republic of India, combined with the idea of welfare state and a
socialistic pattern of society, efforts in this direction were intensified. Since then,
various legislations were passed bringing the matter connected with workers more
and more welfare oriented within the preview of the legislations.
The Act also requires the owner of the factory employing 500 or more
workers to appoint employee welfare officers and state Government have given
powers to prescribe the duties, responsibilities, qualifications and conditions of
service etc., of these officers. Provisions for Welfare of workers also exist in
Indian Dock Labor’s Act 1934. The Mines Act of 1952, Plantation Labour Act of
1951, Merchant Shipping Act 1958. Motor Transport Workers Act 1961, the
Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act of 1960.

The Government of India, with a view to enhancing welfare and well being
of workers, has laid down elaborate provisions for labour welfare under different
labour laws. The important laws in this regard are:
The ILO definition is basically that “It can be taken to mean protection
which society provides for its members, through a series of public measures,
against the economic and social distress that otherwise would be caused by the
stoppage or substantial reduction of earnings resulting from sickness, maternity,
employment injury, unemployment invalidity, old age and death; the provision of
medical care; and the provision of subsidies for families with children.”
The Government usually takes steps to protect its citizens against these risks
but it has found it necessary, in some cases, to take the help of employers, to ease
the financial and administrative burden.
In Beveridge’s opinion the term social security is used “to denote the
security of an income to take the place of earnings when they are interrupted by
unemployment, sickness or accident, to provide for retirement through age, to
provide for loss of support by the death of another person and to meet an
exceptional expenditure such as those connected with birth, death and marriage.”
Social Security is provided either by way of insurance or assistance from the state,
from its own resources.
This was India’s first social security legislation passed in 1923 to provide
employment injury compensation to industrial workers. The Act was amended in
1962 raising the wage limit to Rs. 400 per month, and at present by the amendment
of 1976 the wage limit is fixed at Rs. 1000 per month. The compensation limits in
49
case of death were raised from 10,000 to 30,000 and for permanent and total
disablement from 14,000 to 40,000 by the same amendment. The term ‘workers’ in
the Act refers to those employed in factories, mines, plantations, construction work
and other hazardous occupation, except those covered by employee’s State
Insurance Act, 1948 and clerical employees. The compensation is related to the
extent of his injury or death, but the employer is no responsible if a work man
sustains his injuries under the influence of drugs, drinks, etc. Length of service is
not a consideration for quality of compensation or eligibility except for
occupational diseases, where it is six months, and within two years of termination
in the case of an employee whose services have been terminated. The Act also
provides for half monthly payment for temporary disablement, but the
compensation cannot exceed half monthly wages. A workman cannot claim
damages in civil court and still except to benefit from the Act it is administered by
a commission, appointed by the government.
The initiative to provide legislation for maternity was first taken by a few
states, followed by the Mines Maternity Benefits Act, 1941 which applies to
women in factories, the Welfare Commissioner in coal mines and director General
(safety) in other mines. It allows for 6 weeks leave before and after delivery during
wage. She also gets a medical bonus of Rs 25 if the employer does not provide for
pre-natal, confinement and post-natal medical care. To avail these benefits she
should have completed at least 160 days of service during the preceding 12
months. Both these schemes are based on the principles of employer’s liability.

in the workers performance level & increase the productivity.

hazards it does take proper and planned preventive measures like treatment of the
sewage water as per the standards prescribed by the pollution boards maintaining
and supporting extensive vegetation around the work premises and encourage
regular plantation and supporting keep of trees and other plants in township.
During the year, 1200 number of saplings was planted under a forestation program.
The B.H.P.V LTD., provides the following statutory welfare activities to the
employees in the interest of the well being if its employees in order to ensure that
they contribute the best to the organization.
There are only for general information and keeping in view of the changes in
