INTRODUCTION
NEED OF THE STUDY
Only theoretical knowledge is not enough in any study, one also has to look after its
practical aspect if he wants to know real situation and to know what the problems in
implementing theory in to practice are. Lecture given in classroom help us to
understand the fundamental concept of management.
As an essential part of our B.B.A. program I got a chance to have the training with
Escorts (AMG, plant-1 Faridabad)
The project assigned to me during my summer training at escorts (AMG) was the
“employee welfare policies of the company”
There are three plant in Faridabad i.e. plant-1, plant-2, plant-3.
For the purpose of my study, I personally met the employees of various plants; all of
them provided me with the necessary information related to the project.
First of all I have collected the various welfare policies from induction manual, from
welfare notice board , internet and with direct interaction with the employees of the
company.
From this study I came to know the various facilities that are provided by company to
their employees.
For this study a questionnaire was prepared to collect the information on the
employee’s preference regarding the welfare policies provided by the company.
From the study I came to know the preference of employees regarding various
facilities provided by the company.

Research Problem
A researcher experiences some difficulty either in a theoretical and practical situation
and wants to obtain a solution.
Major components of a research problem:
If someone goes for a research then there should be a
problem for which he go and solved it.
The problem should be helpful for achievement of objective.
There are alternative means to achieve objectives, and the researcher must know
about the favorable and unfavorable means of the objective.
There is a doubt in the mind of the researcher, so that researcher can achieve his
objective.
The environment should be problem pertaining so that he can found the problem and
for solving it he can do research.
Research Methodology:
“Research is a systematized effort to gain new knowledge.” It is a
systematic study consisting of a problem formulating a hypothesis collecting the facts
and data, analyzing the facts and reaching for certain conclusions, which can be in the
form of either solution towards a problem.
1. RESEARCH DESIGN:--
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data
in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure. The research design used in my study is basically descriptive in nature.
i) Descriptive research : -- the research design in my study is descriptive. Its
studies are concern with describing the characteristics of a particular group or
individual. Studies concerned with specific prediction with narration of facts and
characteristics
concerning individual, group or situations are examples of descriptive research .it is
also known as social research.
2. SAMPLE DESIGN:
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It
refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items
for the sample i.e. the size of the sample. Stratified sample method is adopted to
select the sample.
4. SAMPLE UNIT:
Sample is made on the basis of the stratified sampling, in this type of sampling
simple random and sub sample are drawn from different data which are equal o some
characteristics . the first step in stratified sampling choosing a strata on the basis of
existing information.
5. SAMPLE SIZE:
Hundred
6. GEOGRAPHICAL AREA:
Plant-1, plant2, plant-3.
2. SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION :--
The study made in use of both primary and secondary sources.
PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION: -- the survey has been undertaken on the lines of
interaction with employees of different plants and managers of the company with the
help of structured questionnaires.
SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION:-- secondary data have been collected from
various sources involving induction manual, internet etc that were of considerable help
to me,
7. ANALYSIS OF DATA:
The data after collection has to be processed and analyzed with the outline laid for the
purpose at the time of developing the research plan. This is essential for a scientific
study and for insuring that we have all relevant data for making contemplated
comparison and analysis.
Technically speaking processing implies editing, coding, classification and tabulation
of collection data so that they are amenable to analysis.
The term analysis refer to the computation of certain measures along with searching
for patterns of relationship that exist among data groups. To analyze the data
percentage, pie charts, graphs etc are used.
CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Employee:--
An employee generally includes any individual who performs services if the
relationship between the individual and the person for whom the services are
performed is the legal relationship of employer and employee. This includes an
individual who receives a supplement unemployment pay benefits that is treated as
wages.
But does not include a person who, in the board’s opinion,
(a) Performs the functions of a manager or superintendent ,or
(b) Is employed in a confidential capacity in matters relating to labour
relations or
Personnel.
Employer:-
An employer generally is that person who appoints the employees and workers.
Employer is a major part of a business organization. In the organization, Business
owners who want their business to continue to grow and expand its capacities will
eventually have to consider taking on employees. Employing people is a complex, but
not impossible task, provided that you are well-informed about your rights, your legal
obligations and your responsibilities. This section provides information about various
aspects involved in being an employer. There are various authorities who enforce the
employer to create a healthy environment in the organisation.
About industrial relations or employees relationships:--
The relationship between employer and employee is called employee
relationship. Here the victorian government say about workplace relations. And it
passed an act also.this is as follows:-
In 1996 the Victorian Government referred most of its industrial relations powers to the
Commonwealth Government. This allowed for the establishment of a single framework
of laws regulating industrial matters in Victoria through the Workplace Relations Act.
While Victoria no longer has a state-based Industrial Relations (IR) system, except for
some specialist legislation, the Victorian Government is committed to fostering fair, co-
operative and innovative workplaces.
To achieve this, the State Government has called for changes to the Workplace
Relations Act to generate more harmonious IR outcomes, passed specific legislation
to improve fairness and security for various employees, and developed a number of
programs to promote cooperative, high-performance workplaces.
Basic meaning of industrial relationship:--
The term “industrial relations” in practice has come to mean primarily the relations
between the management and the union (s) in an industrial enterprise. It ought to
include “employee relations” irrespectively of whether a union exists in a particular
unit or not.
We all know that unions come into being because for age the individual employee has
been exploited by the employer. To be sure, most of us Indians are even today,
partners in this process of exploitation. The reference here is to the working conditions
and facilities that we provide to our domestic servants, whether we look at their
wages, at their working houses, or at their health care. The some is by and large true
for labour employed on construction projects or in firms. It must therefore be accepted
that the trade unions did serve a social purpose through the practice of collective
bargaining.
The National Commission on Labor (NCL) also emphasize on the same concept.
According to NCL, industrial relations affect not merely the interests of the two
participants- labor and management, but also the economic and social goals to which
the State addresses itself. To regulate these relations in socially desirable channels is
a function, which the State is in the best position to perform.
In fact, industrial relation encompasses all such factors that influence behavior of
people at work. A few such important factors are below:
Institution: It includes government, employers, trade unions, union federations or
associations, government bodies, labor courts, tribunals and other organizations which
have direct or indirect impact on the industrial relations systems.
Characters: It aims to study the role of workers unions and employers’ federations
officials, shop stewards, industrial relations officers/ manager, mediator/conciliators /
arbitrator, judges of labor court, tribunal etc.
Methods: Methods focus on collective bargaining, workers’ participation in the
industrial relations schemes, discipline procedure, grievance redressal machinery,
dispute settlements machinery working of closed shops, union reorganization,
organizations of protests through methods like revisions of existing rules, regulations,
policies, procedures, hearing of labor courts, tribunals etc.
Contents: It includes matter pertaining to employment conditions like pay, hours of
works, leave with wages, health, and safety disciplinary actions, lay-off, dismissals
retirements etc., laws relating to such activities, regulations governing labor welfare,
social security, industrial relations, issues concerning with workers’ participation in
management, collective bargaining, etc.
Labour welfare:--
Labor welfare refers to all the facilities provided to labor in order to improve their
working conditions, provide social security and raise their standard of living. Majority of
labor force in India is working in unorganized sector. In order to provide social security
to such workers, Government has introduced Labor Welfare Fund to ensure
assistance to unorganized labors. Five different welfare funds, which are governed by
different legislations, are administered by Ministry of Labor. The purpose of these
welfare funds is to provide housing, medical care, educational and recreational
facilities to workers employed in beedi industry and non-coal mines and cine workers.
Here is a protection group for the safety of employees and labors which tells
about what services are to be provided to employees and shop floor workers.

CHAPTER-3
The Company
BACKGROUND
The steadily increasing population of India calls or raising the
production of food grains to at least 22of India calls or raising the production of food
grains to at least 225 millions tones by 2000 ad. The mechanization in agricultural field
is a sine-quo-non for increasing the crop production and thereby enhancing the
earnings of the farming community. A study conducted by the national institute of
applied economic research (ncear) in 1980 revealed that an average tractor owner
has a cropping intensity 12% higher than that of bullock farms.
The real spirit in mechanization of agriculture care in India with the introduction of the
high yielding seeds in 1966-67, particularly in the wheat growing NW region, with the
acception of high yielding seeds by the farming community. The demand for
mechanical equipment suddenly spiraled. The situation provided a fillip to the growth
of the farm equipment industry in the country viz, tractors threshers and other
implements.
The Indian tractor industry is of relatively recent origin , quite young as compared to
the world standard. It had its beginning when the first tractor plant was set up in 1961
at Faridabad in haryana with the production of only 880 units.
Tractor population exhibited an annual growth of 13.3% during the 70’s , while during
the 80’s (1980-89) it has been at 5.4% and industry seems to have gained stature.
The new trend observed in this sector is the shift in consumption from majority in the
northern states to other parts of the country too. The soil in the northern states is
alluvial in nature and thus requires a low powered tractor for tilling it. However, states
located in the western and southern parts of the country where the soil being laterite
or black etc- is harder and needs high – powered tractors.
The Indian tractor is dominated by low price , rugged , versatile and low to medium
powered tractors the main reason being the inability of farmers to invest in farm
mechanization tractors b are categorized on the basis of horsepower hp of engine in
India . the popular range of tractor is 20-30 hp compare to 60 hp in Europe and 90 hp
in USA. Though large tractors are also being sold in states like Punjab, tractor
available in India are one forth of similar power tractors internationally are in
developed countries. India is the world’s largest market in tractor since 1996.
Escorts have played a pivotal role in the agricultural growth of India for over five
decades. One of the leading tractor manufacturers of the country,
Escorts produces tractor in the 27-75 hp range and has already sold over 6 lac
tractors. Its tractors are marketed under three brand names, viz. escort,
Powertrac and farmtrac. Powertrac brand of tractors are the most fuel efficient and
they are helpful in improving the quality of of life. Farmtrac
Brand gives most powerful premium range to the tractors.
The company is developing state-of-the-art highly fuel efficient engines with the
assistance of avl of Austria and have also entered into a joint venture with carraro spa
of Italy for the manufacturing of transmissions and axles.
To understand the completion in the industry, one has the first look at the market
segmentation based on hp the industry can split into five maker categories less than
20 hp ,21 hp, 31-40 hp, 41-50 hp, 51hp, and above of this 80% of the demand is
accounted for about 15% of the total sale while the 51 hp and the above segment has
a share of just 4.45% but it is going quite fast. Have a presence of across the major
segment has move upward following the shrinking market in the low hp segment.
To sustain the present momentum and to realize the future goals, escorts has
invested rs.60 cr. towards strengthening new product development programs and
enhancement of R&D capabilities. Additionally, RS.. 400 cr. has been invested
towards modernization of its manufacturing facilities bringing them to international
standards.
The company has one of the most comprehensive distribution networks comprising of
over 500 dealership / outlets and 30 area offices spread across the country. It has a
manufacturing capacity of 75000 tractors per annum escorts agri machinery group is
looking at forward and backward integration through food processing, food chains and
genetic engineering. It will be expanding its product range by launching highly
specialized tractors and draft implements.
In line to our vision for becoming a major player in sub 100 hp segments by 2005 in
the global markets, we have increased our reach from a major regional player to major
global markets which stretch from North America to Australia covering all the
continents. Despite the strict competition by other major tractor manufacturers we
have been able to gain constant volumes in the global market. Our target for this year
is to export 15% of the volumes of our total production volumes of our total production
volumes.
Our products are marketed mainly in USA, central and Easter Europe through Poland,
Ghana, Malaysia, Australia, south Africa and in many other countries. Between M&M,
PTL, AND TAFE there is a tight competition. These three are neck with the share
around 25% each with M&M holding edge.
To consolidate its presence in the overseas markets, the company has ventures in the
USA and Europe (Poland). It has a recently acquired a majority stake in long
agribusiness LLC, a tractor distributing company in the USA and pol-mot escorts.
Besides these escorts has strong presence in turkey, Australia, Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, and South Africa.
Through its network in these countries. Escorts have very ambitious plans to expand
the dealers in network in other potential countries in the coming year . by the end of
the next year , the company hopes to be the largest exporter of tractors in Indian
tractors industry.

is observe by you from the study and what problems are facing by you when you are

limitations of the study
conclusion
suggestions and recommendations
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
On the basis of my study following are the major recommendations.
Sample size, which I have taken, is very small, on the basis of which efficient
decisions can not be taken.
Co-operation of respondents: this has been a major problem. Employees were
reluctant to fill the questionnaire or face the interview.
Another constraints has been regarding cost since study involves the collection
of primary and secondary data. Therefore the cost incurred was much more. Due
to constraints the coverage of the study could not be extended to more
customers.
Our knowledge is limited as we are students and does not have much
experience.
Managers and employees of the company are hesitating to disclose the
information.
CONCLUSION
In the end I like to conclude that:
The “Employee Welfare Scheme” provided by the ESCORTS is very good for
employees, but many employees take unduly advantage of it and sum
employees do not know how to avail the welfare policies.
Trust provides financial beyond his limit under any of the scheme of the
company.
The welfare scheme provide by the company is fulfilling all the statutory and non-
statutory provisions.
Employees are very happy with the welfare schemes of the company and they do
want any changes in it.
In the end, I would like to conclude that besides having a very good welfare schemes
running by the organization, the managers of the company specially personnel
managers should take care that, no employee take unduly advantage of the welfare
policies and the employees who do not sufficient knowledge about welfare policies,
they should guide them. And each and every employee should be treated equally.
SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions received from the respondents of the questionnaire:
The following are the suggestions received from the respondents of the questionnaire.
The suggestions are based on their experience regarding welfare schemes for the
workers.
Extension of bus facilities of local conveyance should be improved.
Periodic survey’s to know the opinion of the employees should be
conducted and findings should be implemented.
Formalities for availing the welfare schemes should be reduced.
The welfare services should be fast and any problem related to the employees
should be tracked within short span of time.
A yearly welfare calendar should be printed and distributed among all employees.
There should be no biased decision taken by the managers while providing any
help besides welfare schemes of the company.
The employees who should take undue advantage of welfare schemes should be
given warning not to do these type of activities again.
In the end, I can say that ESCORTS is doing its best efforts in providing A welfare
services which are universal to their employees and have made them leader in the
market, but even then ESCORTS should consider the problems faced by their
employees while availing its services.
