 Preface

In this era of globalization and Liberalization of the economy business practices

are in the process of getting modified at greater speed with the change in the
policies and procedures of government .I this context ,welfare is also witnessing
great transformation which strikes for excellence to meet the global standards .

“Time and again the supremacy of human element cannot be over emphasized
.the success or failure of an organization depends on people, on human beings on
their talent, on their initiative, on their enterprise, on their ability to lead and
coordinate with others, to work as a team. it also depends on the ability of the
organization to motivate them to greater heights”

I have taken my block field work topic as “study on welfare and CSR activities in

companion for those who are concerned & who are in any way interested in the
subject matter of this report.

This was great experience for me during my training period .I wish you will have

 INTRODUCTION

ADITYA BIRLA GROUP OVERVIEW

GENESIS:
Aditya Birla Group traces its origin back to the tiny village of Pilani in the Rajasthan
desert, where, late Shri Seth Shiv Narayan Birla started cotton-trading operations
in 1857. Then one visionary – the late Shri G.D Birla set up India’s first integrated
aluminium manufacturing unit at Renukoot, in 1962, backed by captive power plant
at Renusagar in 1967.

It further evolved under the dynamic leadership of the late Shri Aditya Vikram Birla
– a prominent figure in the Indian industry, under whose stewardship Hindalco
attained its leadership position in aluminium. Today our Group chairman, Dr.
Kumar Manglam Birla has put together the building blocks to make Indian business
a global force.

HINDALCO

An industry leader in aluminium and copper, Hindalco Industries

Limited, the metals flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group is the
world's largest aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest
producers of primary aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter is the
world’s largest custom smelter at a single location.

Established in 1958, we commissioned our aluminium facility at

Renukoot in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India in 1962. Later acquisitions
and mergers, with Indal, Birla Copper and the Nifty and Mt. Gordon
copper mines in Australia, strengthened our position in value-added
alumina, aluminium and copper products.

6
 The acquisition of Novelis Inc. in 2007 positioned us among the top
five aluminium majors worldwide and the largest vertically integrated
aluminium company in India. Today we are a metals powerhouse with
high-end rolling capabilities and a global footprint in 12 countries. Our
consolidated turnover of USD 13 billion (60,000 crore) places us in the
Fortune 500 league.

Our units are ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001
certified. Several units have gone a step further with an integrated
management system (IMS), combining ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and
OHSAS 18001 into one business excellence model. We have been
accorded the Star Trading House status in India. Hindalco's aluminium
metal is accepted for delivery under the High Grade Aluminium
Contract on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Our copper quality
standards are also internationally recognised and registered on the
LME with Grade A accreditation.

Hindalco's major products include standard and speciality grade

aluminas and hydrates, aluminium ingots, billets, wire rods, flat rolled
products, extrusions and foil.

With the overall aim of building long term Socio-economic Self reliance among the
11
communities in which we Operates.
Hindalco Jan Seva Trust, a professionally managed Trust, works on the socio-
economic development of the ural community of the Sonebhadra District. The
Trust started rural development work with only twobackward villages in
Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh. Gradually, the operational area increased to
345 villages with a population of around 5 lacs. These villages are situated in the
states in Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
The objective is, “To bring about sustainable development in the villages, through
different need based initiatives, encouraging community ownership.”

Area profile
The majority beneficiaries are from Below Poverty Line families and depend on
marginal farming anddaily wages. Their unstructured income-pattern, results in
seasonal migration. Due to undulated land and scanty rainfall the food production
is much less than the requirement.Apart from paddy, the major food crops grown in
this area are maize, saawa and some pulses, which require less amount of water.
The literacy rate is very low i.e., around 52 %. Majority of the pregnant women and
children are victims of malnourishment, which results in untimely death among new
infants and pregnant women. In the remote areas, infrastructure facilities such as
Primary Health Centres, health sub-centers and community health centers are very
less due to which people from far-flung areas are deprived of proper health
service. Modus Operandi Model village plan has the following features:It is a
holistic approach to bring all-round development.The major focus is given to the
participation of people during planning and implementation stages.
Self-Sustainability through resource and social mobilizationPromotion of Self-Help
Groups and Village Development Committees.
Handing over the ownership to the community based organizations at village level
such as Self-HelpGroups and Village Development Committees.
Introduction of five focus areas.
They are:
Economic Self-Reliance and Watershed Development
Health and Family Welfare
Education and Capacity Building
Infrastructure Development
Social Upliftment and Women Empowerment
The listed projects are implemented keeping in mind the five focus areas ( above).

successfully launched a new project to enhance the computer literacy level among
the children of Aditya Bal Vidhya Mandirs. We have four full fledged Aditya Bal
Vidhya Mandirs located in four villages, Gulaljharia, Dighul ( Dudhi ) , Supachuwan
(Muirpur) and Ghagri ( Babhani ), which are imparting primary education to the
rural children.
The project helps the students to learn computers themselves and software of
relevant courses help them to improve their intelligence. This project started with
the joint ventures of Hole–in-the Wall Education Ltd., New Delhi, a wing of NIIT .

Scholarship Distributions at the local School and Technology

Park
Besides taking up many projects in our rural areas of Babhani, Muirpur and Dudhi
blocks, we also extend our support to the colonies in our neighbouring areas.
Educational Institutes, in these colonies, enhance the educational status of the
area by providing education to the poor students on very nominal charges, and
sometimes free of cost. We selected 21 boys and girls from Samnaway Vidya
Mandir, Murdhawa, Renukoot under our scholarship programme. An amount of
Rs.500.00 as one time financial help was given to 21students. The “Education”
programme supports Higher Education, by a one time financial support. 72
students from 200 villages were selected. Among these 72 students, 24 are doing
courses such as Master in Computer .Application, Polytechnic, Engineering, ITI,
etc. This year, more than 90 meritorious students from around 25 schools were
given Scholarships award.

School Dress Distribution

717 rural children receive primary education at four Aditya Bal Vidya Mandirs
located in Supachuwan,Ghagri, Dighul and Gulaljharia. Clothes are provided to
every child,which motivates the parents and children to a great extent. The
dresses were stitched by the trainees of our tailoring classes, which are being
conducted in different villages.

Distribution of Utensils to students for Mid-day Meal

To support the children to get food under "Mid day meal scheme" in govt. schools,
we provided steel plates and glasses to around 1750 students in 23 Primary
Schools. Selection of poor students was done with the consultation of school
administration.

15
 Training on Health and Nutrition
To promote the Nutritional status among the rural community with the available
sources, a programme for Self Help Group members has been introduced. A
resource person, who has a good experience in the field of Health and Nutrition,
demonstrated the cooking practice among different Self Help Groups. The
programme has the following components:

Vasectomy Operations
To check the population growth in the villages, measures such as couple
counseling, mass awareness programme, provide spacing facilities like,
distribution of contraceptives, such as Condoms, Mala-N and Copper-T, etc are
undertaken. In addition, we joined our hands with the Govt. Health Department to
conduct Family Planning Operation camps for both, females and males, while
supporting about family planning operations of about 2000 women, every year.
Last year, altogether 219 males operated in our Park, which placed us among the
top achievers in whole U.P. State. Govt. Health Department provided cash
incentive of Rs.1100.00 to every operated case and Rs.200.00 to motivators of the
cause. We arranged all the logistic and traveling facility for surgeon team and
villagers and provided medicines to all patients.

Project : Abhilasha
A joint pilot project of Aditya Birla Group (ABG) and Rotary
International(RI) in Pulse Polio
Programme
The National Polio Eradication Programme, involving the Aditya Birla Group, made
remarkable progress in the initial years. However, later it was felt that a revised
endeavour needed to be pursued to achieve the India dream of having zero polio.
The Aditya Birla Group decided to join hands with Rotary International to work
together in Sultanpur and Sonbhadra districts.
Objective : To support Government for improving the immunization coverage of
polio in 0-5 yrs children
through National Pulse Polio Programme in Sonebhadra district.

16
 Participation in Pulse Polio Programme
In implementing the “Abhilasha Project" , the Rotary International, World Health
Organization, District HealthDepartment and our Group developed a plan to
provide 100% coverage to the children under Pulse Polio Programme. On a trial
basis, we involved ourselves in 157 booths in the rural areas of Dudhi, Muirpur and
Babhani blocks and 49 booths of Renukoot Township.
We also involved Self Help Groups in all 200 villages that were bringing the
children from house to booth. We helped the Govt. to provide 100% coverage by
several activities, such as booth management, motivating the parents for sending
the children to the booth, ensuring the availability of vaccines, monitoring the polio
booths, etc. As a result of our joint venture, the coverage of the children in all 206
booths rose significantly.

Special Medical Camps

We benefited 7640 villagers through Medical Camps, last year.

Farmers’ Training

educate them about the latest technology in agriculture, judicious use of land and
water, management of dairy farming and many other related issues. The trainings
are conducted by our agriculture and veterinary experts. In this month, 08 no of
training programmes were conducted and benefited 165 farmers.

Training to the Farmers on Lac Cultivation

The forest around the community in Renukoot is in abundance of Palash trees,
which are good host for Lac cultivation. Lac production can provide extra income to
the farmers of this area. Training programmes by agricultural scientists were
organized for the farmers. This year, 16 trainings on Lac cultivation conducted to
train 750 farmers.

Distribution of Pedal Pumps

Pedal pump is one of the most suitable means of irrigation for small piece of land.
We distributed 60 pedal pumps among 60 selected farmers, from all three blocks;
Muirpur, Dudhi and Babhani. It would facilitate these farmers especially to grow
vegetables, which would cater the different needs of these people. During
the distribution programme, all the technical aspects were dealt upon by our
agriculture expert. He also demonstrated the system to educate the farmers about
its use and operating system.

17
 Rain Water Harvesting
The rural development team and Civil Department jointly visited about 100 sites in
the villages of all three blocks and identified and selected 27 different projects,
which would help to retain the rainwater and raise the ground water level. After
completion of these all 27 projects, around 110 acres of the land would get
water for irrigation.

in slum areas of Renukoot, we organized 4 - puppet show programmes in Dhobia
Tanki, Chacha Colony, J.P. Colony and Kharpathar, consecutively. The
programme received very good response and it benefited around 1300 people.

Welfare meaning
20
A social welfare provision, which is what many people mean when they
speak of welfare, is a program that aims to give a base level of income to
people who may be out of work, disabled, or elderly. The idea is that without
the government stepping in to help these groups, they would otherwise not
survive, and so the government has a moral obligation to support them.
Proponents also point out that keeping people at a certain minimum level
allows them to work, and therefore ultimately helps the society at large
financially.

Labor welfare
Labour welfare has been defined in various ways, though no single
definition has found universal acceptance. The Oxford dictionary defines
labour welfare as "Efforts to make life worth living for workmen." Chambers
dictionary defines welfare as "A state of faring or doing well. Freedom from
calamity, enjoyment of health and prosperity".

OBJECTIVES OF LABOUR WELFARE ACTIVITIES

The object of welfare activities is to promote economic development by
increasing production and productivity. The underlying principle is to make
the workers given their loyal services ungrudgingly in genuine spirit of co-
operation, in return for obligations, voluntary and compulsory, accepted by
the employee towards the general well-being of the employees.

Improving the efficiency of the labour is another objective of labour welfare

activities. Efficiency gives double reward, one in the form of increased
production and the other in the shape of higher wages due to achievement
of higher productivity. Welfare activities add to their efficiency and efficiency
in turn help the worker to earn more wages. Therefore, welfare activities in
an organization are twice blessed. It helps the employer and the employee
both.

Another objective of welfare activities is to secure the labour proper human

conditions of work and living. Working conditions of organization may be led
by an artificial environment which features are dust, fumes, noise, unhealthy
temperature, etc. It is generally found that these conditions impose strain on
the body.

The welfare activities are done to minimize the hazardous effect on the life
of the workers and their family members. It is the duty of the employer to
see these human needs. If welfare activities are viewed in this light, it can
be seen that they are guided by purposes of humanitarian and social
justice.

The next objective of welfare activities is to add in a real way to the low
earning of the labour. The facilities are provided to supplement the income
of the workers by services such as housing, medical assistance, school, co-
operative, canteens, stores, play grounds etc.
21
 Thus, the objective of activities are to promote greater efficiency of the
workers, assure proper human conditions to the workers and their family
members, supplement their wages in monetary teams, give more real
wages and foster better industrial relations

PERCEPTIVE OF LABOUR WELFARE ACTIVITIES

The focus on the labour welfare Activities has led to a growing interest by
stakeholders who have started to identify the problem of the labour welfare and
formulate their position. The main stake holders are the enterprises investors,
employees, trade urions and governments. They are, therefore, gradually
becoming aware of the potential of labour welfare activities, albeit from different
prospective.

The basic questions in this prospective are the followings:

1. Should labour welfare activities be mandatory for enterprises ?

2. If mandatory should law and/or social organization should regulate the
labour welfare activities?
3. If voluntary, how to secure the interests of the employees at enterprise
level?
