A scheme of workers education was envisaged on all India basis by the government of India, way back in 1957.

The scheme had four main objectives: To develop strong union through trained officials

and more enlightened members. To develop leadership from the rank and file. To equip organised labour to take its place in a

democratic society and discharge its social and economic functions.

To promote among workers a greater understanding of the problem of their economic environment and their privileges and obligations as union members and officials and as citizens.


Housing is the primary need of a worker’s family in civilised life. Good houses means possibility of home life, happiness and health; bad houses spell squalour, drink, diseases, immorality, crime, etc.

Under the industrial housing scheme 1952, the central government offers loans to industrial workers for constructing houses at concessional rates.


The committee on labour welfare, 1969, recommended the provision of transport facilities to workers so that they can reach the workplace punctually and comfortably. Most employers have, however recognised the workers’ need for transport services and therefore responded favourably by providing company owned/leased vehicles to workers in major industrial centres especially in the private sector.


Though there is no statutory stipulation in this area, progressive employers both in the public and private sector consciously offered facilitation for recreation sports and cultural activites. For example companies like NIIT and TISCO have appointed a chief fun officer to take care of parties and functions held on every Friday. (in addition to holiday packages, dating allowances, anniversary/ birthday gifts, games and competitions on weekends and Gulab jamun, eating sessions)


Canteen, restroom and lunchroom: canteens established inside factories generally offer food at subsidies rate.

Washing facilities, medical aid , leave travel concessions : most factories have first-aid facilities to take care of minor injuries.

Consumer cooperative stores: the Indian labour conference in 1963 recommended the setting up of consumer cooperative stores in all industrial establishment including plantations and mines employing 300 or more workers.


The factories act,1948 ,the plantation labour act,1951 and the mines act,1951 provide for the appointment of a labour welfare officer if the numbers of workers employed within a unit exceeds 500.
