PREFACE
With the rapid growth in the Indian Industry it has been seen that welfare activities provided
to employees has played an important role in the effectiveness and efficiency of the employees
at work, In my project “A STUDY ON WELFARE FACILITIES” at Bhilai Steel Plant,
Bhilai (C.G.), I have tried to touch upon every welfare activities which is beneficial both for
employees and for the company.
Welfare basically implies the provision of medical and educational services and a congenial
work atmosphere, but it’s more than that it speaks of measures which promote the physical,
psychological and general well being of the working population.
As a researcher in my project I have given my best of best to make it simple, clear, systematic,
and a meaningful project. In this project I have used descriptive and explanatory research.
However empirical references, observations and information’s are also used.
The efforts of this project have been aimed at find out employees satisfaction, analyze and
maintain welfare activities and for further improvement, so as to give morale boost to the
employees as well as, to make easier to employers to attract and hire competent personnel
which helps build a positive image of the organization. In an overall study I have emphasized

1.4.1 SAIL Steel Authority of India(A Maharatna):
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steelmaking company in India. It is
a fully integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steels for domestic
construction, engineering, power, railway, automotive and defense industries and for sale in
export markets. SAIL is also among the seven Mahayana’s of the country’s Central Public
Sector Enterprises.
SAIL manufactures and sells a broad range of steel products, including hot and cold rolled
sheets and coils, galvanized sheets, electrical sheets, structural, railway products, plates, bars
and rods, stainless steel and other alloy steels. SAIL produces iron and steel at five integrated
plants and three special steel plants, located principally in the eastern and central regions of
India and situated close to domestic sources of raw materials, including the Company’s iron
ore, limestone and dolomite mines. The company has the distinction of being India’s second
largest producer of iron ore and of having the country’s second largest mines network. This
gives SAIL a competitive edge in terms of captive availability of iron ore, limestone, and
dolomite which are inputs for steel making.
SAIL’s wide ranges of long and flat steel products are much in demand in the domestic as
well as the international market. This vital responsibility is carried out by SAIL’s own Central
Marketing Organization (CMO) that transacts business through its network of 37 Branch Sales
Agents and 27 Customer Contact Offices. CMO’s domestic marketing effort is supplemented
by its ever widening network of rural dealers who meet the demands of the smallest customers
in the remotest corners of the country. With the total number of dealers over 2000, SAIL’s
wide marketing spread ensures availability of quality steel in virtually all the districts of the
country.
SAIL’s International Trade Division ( ITD), in New Delhi an ISO 9001:2000 accredited unit
of CMO, undertakes exports of Mild Steel products and Pig Iron from SAIL’s five integrated
steel plants.
decades, SAIL’s Consultancy Division (SAILCON) at New Delhi offers services and
consultancy to clients worldwide.
SAIL has a wellequipped Research and Development Centre for Iron and Steel (RDCIS) at
Ranchi which helps to produce quality steel and develop new technologies for the steel
industry. Besides, SAIL has its own inhouse Centre for Engineering and Technology (CET),
Management Training Institute (MTI) and Safety organization at Ranchi. Our captive mines
are under the control of the Raw Materials Division in Kolkata. The Environment
Management Division and Growth Division of SAIL operate from their headquarters in
Kolkata. Almost all our plants and major units are ISO Certified.
Burnpur and 3 special steel plants at Salem Durgapur and Bhadravati .As part of its global
ambition the Company is implementing a massive expansion plan involving project work of
building/adding new facilities with emphasis on state of the art green technology. SAIL is
investing Rs 210 billion in West Bengal, to set up a wagon factory. SAIL is a public sector
company, owned and operated by the Government of India. According to a recent survey,
SAIL is one of India’s fastest growing Public Sector Units. Besides, it has R&D Centre for

SAILHistory (19591973)
SAIL traces its origin to the Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) which was set up on 19
January 1954. HSL was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at
Rourkela.
After independence, the first Prime Minister of India had envisioned that India should also
have a steel industry, which stimulates further growth. Keeping this in view, Central
Government wrote to several State Governments seeking their willingness to create steel
plants in their Plants. For this purpose, these State Governments should be willing to provide
adequate land, water, electricity and first right on the Minerals required for manufacturing of
steel. Therefore, only the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal evinced interest
and thus Steel Plants came up. The necessary technology was offered by USSR in the case of
Bhilai, Germany for Rourkela and British for Durgapur. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants,
the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. These were established as
Government Departments under Central Government From April 1957, the supervision and
control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office
was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956 and ultimately to Ranchi in
December 1959.
A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited (Bokaro Steel Plant again with USSR
Bokaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of
December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962
after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up
from 1.58 MT (1959–60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant was completed in
September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase
of Rourkela – the Tandem Mill – was commissioned in February 1968, and the 1.6 MT stage
of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in
SMS. Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and 1.6
MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to 3.7 MT in
1968–69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972–73. IISCO was taken over as a subsidiary in 1978
and later merged in 2006.
Holding Company
The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for
managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on 2 December
1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs
under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The
company, incorporated on 24 January 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 20 billion, was
made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur,
Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL was
restructured as an operating company. VISL, Bhadrawati, was also brought under SAIL.

1.4.2 BSPBhilai Steel Plant :
BSP is one of the largest steel plants in the world. Bhilai Steel Plant is located in the city of
railway lines. The rail line furnishes the plant with the required minerals like iron ore,
wires and rods, construction materials, railway sleepers, and other steel products.
The plant is located at the central position of India, which is one of the major iron belts of
India, and it is about 40 kilometer from Raipur, capital of Chhattisgarh. The captive mines of
the plant located at Dali Rajahara supplies iron ore and lime stone used to be available from
Nadine captive mines. At present lime stone is procured from outside. The other major raw
material, coal is purchased from outside either through import or from indigenous market.
The Bhilai Steel Plant or BSP is a public sector undertaking constructed with the assistance
and technology of the erstwhile Soviet Union. The Steel Plant is administered by the Steel
Authority of India. The plant started its production from the year 1959. The main objective of
constructing the steel plant in the remote and backward area was to generate employment
opportunities for the inhabitants of the area. Presently the steel plant employs less than 28000
permanent workers, of these nearly threefifths are employed in the 17 square kilometer plant
and the rest work in its mines and quarries, and other kinds of work linked with the plant. In
addition, about 10000 contractual labour are also giving their services.
Bhilai Steel Plant, an integrated steel works, was commissioned in 1959 with production
capacity of 1.0 million tonne of steel. In successive phases, capacity was enhanced to 2.5 and
4.0 million tone in the year 1962 and 1984 respectively. With the facilities available with
Bhilai Steel Plant they are able to produce 5.0 mt production currently. As of now this is the
largest steel plant in India with present capacity utilization more than 100% for three
consecutive years.
Since inception, the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has been a profit earning organization, thus being
the most flourishing industry in the public sector of India. It has rated capacity to produce four
million ton of steel, which is cheaper comparatively to other plants. The Government
established the Steel Plant, the township, mines and the industrial estate by buying 96 villages
compulsorily.
Bhilai Steel Plant produces wide range of products. This includes Rails, Heavy Structurals,
Wire Rods, Heavy and specialized Plates and Merchant products. Bhilai Steel Plant
symbolizes Indian Industrial Growth. Many laurels were bestowed upon Bhilai Steel Plant. It
also produces Ammonium Sulphate, a fertilizer in its Byeproduct plant. It has been honored
country out of 15 years.
Bhilai Steel Plant has a fullfledged Energy Management Department (EMD) which functions
as a nodal agency for coordinating and executing various thermal energy related activities
throughout the Plant. BSP’s Environment Management Department is equipped with modern
Environmental Laboratory and a strong team of 30 personnel’s for monitoring and assessing
the environmental quality in and around the plant
BSP has also adopted various environmental protection measures through natural resources
and reuse strategies. These efforts have resulted in minimizing the adverse impacts on the
environment and health of employees and people inhabiting the surroundings.

FINANCIAL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS: 201415
BHILAI STEEL PLANT
Bhilai Steel Plant started the financial year 201415 with a strategy to overcome various
constraints and challenges and with a firm target to register a positive growth in business.
An unprecedented and unfortunate incident at Pump House2 in the month of June’14 and
stoppage of Boiler3 at PP1 in November’14 affected most of the units and there was a
drastic shortfall in the volume of production combined together. In both the cases, the plant
overcame the crisis in the shortest possible time and geared up to compensate the loss in a
phased manner. The shortfall in Saleable Steel was bridged by enhancing the production at
Plate Mill and fulfillment of IPT orders month after month.
With the changing business scenario and increased demand of Long Rails (260m) by Indian
Railways, the thrust was given to maximise its production and dispatch. But due to paucity of
orders for 13m and 26m Rails and availability of Loha rakes from Indian Railways the
production had to be regulated from time to time and performance of RSM remained
substantially low; however, the Mill developed new techniques for simultaneous rolling of R
52 Kg and R60 Kg for the first time in order to meet the Railway requirement.
In order to upkeep the available resources, the Plant took up the Capital repairs of its
equipments and machines in a phased manner. Battery 9 and 3 are under cold repair w.e.f
st
April’11 and June’14 respectively. BF6 was blown in on 31 July’14 after 117 days of
Capital repair. Capital repairs of Mc4 of SP2, Mc1 of SP3, Relining of ConverterB and
ConverterC, Slab Caster1 and 3, Bloom Caster5, Rail & Structural Mill, Merchant Mill and
Wire Rod Mill and Roughing stand Motor Changing jobs of Plate Mill (5 days) etc. were
completed during the financial year 1415.
The Plant achieved best ever yearly production of 1.317 MT of finished Plates and best ever
loading of finished plates at 1.30 MT from Plate Mill, exceeding the previous best of 1.294
MT in 200708 and 1.284 MT in 201011 respectively .Best ever yearly loading of 1, 41,670 T
of Long Rails from RSM was also achieved, surpassing the previous best of 1, 37,662 T in
201314.
On the technoeconomic front best ever annual CDI rate of 96.7 Kg/THM and Coke rate of
440.1 Kg/THM at BF5 was achieved compared to 83.8 Kg/THM in 201314 and 455.3 in
201314 respectively. The Plant registered best ever overall specific energy rate at 6.456
GCal/TCS compared to 6.477 GCal/TCS in the year 201314.
Loading for Direct dispatches of saleable steel was also yearly Best ever at 1.80 MT
surpassing the previous best of 1.77 MT in the year 201314. The Plant continued its support
to Sister Plants and a total of 2,35,907 T of CC Slabs were loaded to SSP and RSP. The
percentage production of Crude Steel through Concast route was better at 53.71% compared to
ABP of 52.9%.
The Plant achieved an annual production of 5.07 Million Tonnes of Hot Metal, 4.81 Million
Tonnes of Crude Steel and 4.33 Million Tonnes of Saleable Steel. The Plant continued to
operate well above the rated capacity in all major areas of production and achieved a capacity
utilization of 107.9% in Hot Metal, 122.5% in Crude Steel and 137.3% in Saleable Steel. In
total Saleable Steel, the plant operated above the rated capacity for the Twenty second year in
succession.
The production of Special steel suffered on account of low volume of production at R&SM
due to paucity of orders for 13m and 26m and CMO priority in Merchant products. An overall
volume was registered at 2.57 Million tonne which is 59.4% of total saleable steel.
The Plant continued its efforts in development of new products and as many as 12 new and
differentiated products were developed as per the customer / market requirement. On the
safety front, 8 (Eight) number of fatal accidents and 13 (Thirteen) number of reportable
accidents occurred in FY 1415 for both Regular and Contractual manpower.
The plant continued to accelerate its expansion drive and made substantial progress on all the
major schemes planned under 7 MT expansion programme. Two major units viz. COB11 at
Coke Ovens and M/C2 at Sinter Plant3 were successfully commissioned and stabilised in the
year 2014. M/c 2 achieved production of 1.75 Million Tonne of Sinter with a daily record of
9,524 T on 26th Nov’14 and COB11 consistently pushed 60 ovens/day from last week of
Dec’2014 onwards. (Pushing started on 30th Sep’14 & Dry Quenching from 14th Oct’14).
The details about other schemes are given further.
During the year an amount of Rs.2049.49 Crores have been spent against Capital expenditure
on various schemes. A total of 14 Nos of Turn key projects and 21 Nos of Non turn key
projects worth Rs. 234.78 Crs. and Rs.3.97 Crs. were awarded for execution.
Several new initiatives were taken up throughout the year for enhancing operational
efficiencies of plant processes. A few of these are:

INTRODUCTION
WELFARE FACILITIES
WELFARE is a total concept, which can have meaning only in the worker’s interrelated
individual, family and community context.
The term WELFARE describe a modern concept conveying a
specific programme for the well being of the workers, it is assumed that ,while worker’s

position in the employing organization and the demand of modern industries put them in
peculiar position calling forth special attention. In the beginning when machine were
invented men and women worker were required adopt them to the need of machine. This
took some time .And in the process of adjustment worker suppressed much bodily mental
agony. It was slowly realized that worker were human being and that they were more
valuable than machine. The new trend is therefore ,to needs of the workers. The story of
welfare all over the world, is a story of his adjustmentadjustment of the machine, and
working conditions to the human needs of the workers. To some extent workers
themselves have made this adjustment partly it has been brought about by legislation, and
intelligent employers have voluntary and in some measure provided for this adjustment.
DEFINITION OF WELFARE :

EMPLOYEES WELFARE SCHEMES
Organizations provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation levels
high. The employee welfare schemes can be classified into two categories viz. statutory
and nonstatutory welfare schemes. The statutory schemes are those schemes that are
compulsory to provide by an organization as compliance to the laws governing employee
health and safety. These include provisions provided in industrial acts like Factories Act
1948, Dock Workers Act (safety, health and welfare) 1986, Mines Act 1962. The non
statutory schemes differ from organization to organization and from industry to industry.
STATUTORY WELFARE SCHEMES
The statutory welfare schemes include the following provisions:
Drinking Water: At all the working places safe hygienic drinking water should be
provided.

NEED FOR WELFARE
The need of welfare lies in the fact that industrial workers today constitute functionally a
very significant and important element of the country population. Their labour helps to
dig coal from the bowels of the earth, to fetch and refine oil to build dams and reservoirs
to lay pipes ,canal tines and roads
.Their labour create and transmits power and through various phase of manufacture ,if we
withdraw the activities of labour from the war lows sphere in which they are engaged ,we
would perhaps plunge back into the barbaric stall in which average life is poor nearly
brackish short civilized life as it is today, is possible on account of place ,functionally we
say , therefore, that industrial workers play a very useful and important role in the
community.
Looking then, to their functional importance, it behaves the community to provide
for the welfare, of the workers so that workers can work better, more productively and
effectively only if they are maintained in good and healthy conditions.
SCOPE OF WELFARE
This scope of welfare work not only covers the work life of the worker in the factory but
also to extent beyond into his life , with his family and community. Indeed, welfare work
in the factory is but a part of welfare programme. For, what the workers does in the
communities, how he lives from the factory, what companions he has, what recreations
he takes to and how family life is organized, the convinences or in conveniences at home
these among many other stuble forces affect is work when a worker enters the factory he
does not merely bring with him this two hand and sop many heat unit of energy. He
brings with him a live, personality throbbing with aspiration and anxieties. Hence, it
becomes very important that welfare programme, if they have to succeed should take into
account the workers total personality an development it is the fact which makes of
welfare a comprehensive and continous programme beginning with the factory and
related to and culminating in the labour community development. Indeed welfare work
outside the factory is of the nature of followup services to that has been balanced within
the work place.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The topic of my project is “WELFARE FACILITIES IN BHILAI STEEL PLANT”,
which is done as per the curriculum of Masters Of Business Administration.
The objectives of this Study are :
To derive suggestions regarding the improvements in welfare facilities.
To compare the Welfare facilities in private & public sector with reference to
iron & steel industries.
To determine the Percentage of employees who are satisfied & who are not .
To find out what else is recurred in addition to the current welfare facilities
availed by BSP employees .
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
An appropriate method of research is behind the success of any survey. It provides a
scientific framework of plan conduction research investigation. Research methodology is
the way to systematically solve the research problem.
The role of research related to business or to the economy as a whole has
greatly increased in modern times. The increasingly complex nature of business and
problems.
Operation research and market research along with multinational research
are considered crucial and their result assists managers of any organization in more than
one way in taking decisions.
RESEARCH:
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can
also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a
Learner’s Dictionary of Current English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful
investigation or inquiry especially through search for new fact in any branch of
knowledge.” Redman and Mory define research as a “systematized effort to gain new
known to the unknown.
RESEARCH DESIGN :
The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research
problem is the preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the
“Research Design”. Decisions regarding what, where, when, how much by what means
concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design.
“A research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure.”
In fact, the research design is the conceptual structured within research is conducted; it
constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. As such the
design include an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the hypothesis and
its operational implications to the final analysis of data. More explicitly, the design
decisions happen to be in respect of:
What is the study about?
Why is the study being made?
Where will the study be carried out?
What type of data is required?
Where can the required data be found?
What will be the sample design?
What periods of time will the study include?
What techniques of data collection will be used?
NEED FOR RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research design is needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of the
maximal information with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. Research
design stands for advance planning of the methods to be adopted for collecting the
relevant data and the techniques to be used in their analysis, keeping in view the objective
of the research and the availability of staff, time and money. Preparation of the research
design should be done with great care any error in it may upset the entire project.
Research design, in fact has a great bearing on the reliability of the result arrived at and
as such constitutes the firm foundation of the entire edifice of the research work.
Statement of the problem :
Welfare Facilities in Bhilai Steel Plant, Bhilai – A Study

It is neither feasible nor desirable to cover the entire population, thus
sampling was done. The sample is the representative unit of the population. Sampling
remains the only way when population contents infinitely many members. The researcher
has taken samples for this research and the sampling method used is Convenient
Sampling. The sampling unit is the employee working in the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP).
PURPOSE OF SAMPLING :
Sampling is the only tool which helps to know the characteristics of
population by examining only a part of it. “The law of statistical regularity says – a
moderately large number of items chosen at random from a large group, are almost sure
on the average to posses the characteristics of a large group.
SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION :
According to the research methodology, there are two types of data
collection, which are as follows:
PRIMARY SOURCE
SECONDARY SOURCE
Primary source: In this type of source, the researcher himself collects the data.

researcher through previous literature and finding. Researcher collects data from previous
findings to make new and revised standard of knowledge.
The researcher had followed the secondary source of data collect ion for the completion
of this project report. The researcher had gone through the various books and available
literatures. The researcher, while preparation of this project report, did an extensive study
of the literatures like :
Books of recommended authors
Previous cost control projects
Magazines
Annual general reports of company
This project report is following all the traditional rules and clauses, as mentioned in
the research methodology.
As the study being an original as well as personal investigation it is preferred to
collect “Primary data”.
METHOD OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA
