Dr. Parandikar, “Labour welfare work is work for improving the health, safety and
general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the minimum
standard laid down by labour legislation” Welfare measures may also be provided by
employer. The basic purpose of labour welfare is to enrich the life of employees and

II. HOUSING
Housing is the primary need of a worker’s family in civilized life. Without a roof
to cover his head, the worker naturally feels frustrated about his poor standard of
living in big cities. Good house means possibility of home life, happiness and health;
bad houses spell squalor, drink, diseases, immorality, crime, etc. overcrowding of
people in dark quarters in slum areas is mainly responsible for the outbreak of
and childhood poisoned at its very source”. Recognizing the need for housing
hut construction scheme for landless workers (1971), has also been introduced to
reduce the housing shortage to workers. The government has also introduced
housing schemes for mines and plantation workers in early 50s. Housing schemes
for dock workers was drawn up in 1964. The progress of industrial housing schemes
has so far been very slow due to various reasons: non-utilization of allocated funds,

and competitions on weekends and Gulab Jamun, eating sessions). Sprawling food

tracks, beauty centres, spacious gyms, ATMs, gift shops are to be found in most
V. OTHER FACILITIES
These are basically intended to improve the comfort level of workers while at
establishments including plantations and mines employing 300 or more workers. The
employer is expected to extend help in the form of share capital, working capital,
loans at concessive rates etc. The industrial Truce Resolution, 1962 aimed at
keeping prices of essential items low by opening a sufficient number of fair price
