Introduction India has become largest producer of sugar cane or sugar producing 280 MnT of cane and 16.5 MnT of sugar in 1995-96, making it the largest producer of sugar in the world, representing about 20% of cane sugar production. India also produces another 10 MnT of traditional sweeteners . India also has a large consumer base, thus makes it quite vulnerable to international sugar market, in the event of surplus or deficit situation. At the same time it has good potential and prospects. Sugar production commenced in 1920's but it got industry status in late 20's/early 30's when India had 29 sugar mills producing just 100,000 tons of sugar. The industry, facing competition from imported sugar, sought tariff protection. Sugar production picked up under the Sugar Industry Protection Act passed in 1932 and country became self sufficient in 1935. Also cane pricing act was enforced to provide good cane price to farmer. This was followed by land reforms putting ceiling on land holdings to protect small farmers, formation of cane grower cooperatives and setting up of sugar mills jointly with farmers called as cooperative mills on ownership and sharing basis. Today this sector produces 60% of country's production. Under the structured Industrial Development Policy, sugar industry was part of the Five-Year Plans introduced in 1951 and has been under the direct control of the Government ever since. Sugar industry is highly politicized and so closely controlled by the Government which has no parallel in the industry. Govt. control, covers all aspects of sugar business i.e. licensing/capacity/cane area, procurement/pricing/sugar pricing/distribution and Imports and exports. Sugar scene in India has been that of protectionism. The mills, the farmers and the consumers all have been protected one way or another. Whereas the protection to farmer and consumer has been consistent, it has not been so consistent for the mill owners. Overall government policy has given impressive results. The production has gone up to 16.5 MnT. per capita consumption up from 5 to 13 kg over a period of 3 decades. There is a potential Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 3 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi - what is needed, is some changes in policy to make it world class player. Winds of liberalization have touched sugar also. Licensing is liberalized. The imports freely allowed. Exports deregulated. Many lessons learnt. Competition became intense. Customer more demanding on quality and service. The document gives an overview of agricultural background development in cane. Sugar production, consumption, policy/regulations. The paper ends up dealing with important issues, aspects of deregulation, decimalization of exports, the potential and the comparative advantage of Indian sugar. 2.1.1. Historical background The sugar industry is proud to be an industry, which spreads the taste of sweetness to the mankind. The history of origin of this industry is as old as the history of main himself. Sugar is generally made from sugarcane and beet. In India, sugar is produced mainly from sugarcane. India had introduced sugarcane all over the worlds and is a leading country in the making sugar from sugarcane. „Saint Vishwamitra‟ is known as the research person of the sugarcane in religious literature. We can find the example of sugarcane in Vedic literature also as well as sugarcane. We can also find the reference of sugar and the sugarcane in Patanjali‟s Mahabashya and the treaty on the grammar of „Panini‟. Greek traveler „Niyarchus‟ and Chinese traveler „Tai-Sung‟ have mentioned in their travelogue that the people of India used to know the methods of making sugar and juice from sugarcane the great Emperor Alexander also carried sugarcane with him while returning to his country. Thus from different historical references and from some „Puranas‟ we can concluded that method of making sugar from sugarcane was known to the people of Bihar. The historical evidences of sugar industry prospering in ancient India concrete and this has helped to develop and prosper the co-operative sugar movement in India. History of sugar and sugar cane in India goes back to several thousand years BC. Indian mythology vouches for this since it contains some legends depicting origin of sugar cane. It was sometimes in 4/6th century art of sugar making was discovered. Method was crude beyond imagination. Cane was cut in pieces - crushed under heavy weight - juice thus obtained was Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 4 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi boiled and stirred, till it turned solids. Solids of uneven shape and size were called sarkaran, a Sanskrit term of 'gravel'. Modern word 'sugar' is derived from the word Sarkara.Thus it could be rightly said that India has been the original home for sugarcane as well as sugar manufacture. However, for all practical purposes, scientific sugar processing by vaccum pan method may have started sometimes in 20s. The development process was slow. Country met its sugar requirement through imports. In mid 20s number of sugar mills sprang up in UP and Bihar. By 1930-31, there were 29 sugar factories producing just 100000 MT of sugar and they found adverse competition from Japanese sugar. 2.2. Global scenario of sugar industry Sugar is produced in 110 countries. The leading sugarcane producing countries are Brazil, India, Australia, Thailand, China and Cuba. Sugar is extracted from two different raw materials, sugarcane and best. Both produce identical refined sugar. Sugarcane is grown in semi-tropical regions, and accounts for around two-thirds of world accounts for the balance one third of world production. The Russian Federation, Ukraine and Europe account for around 80 per count of total beet sugar production. In addition to weather conditions, diseases, insects, and quality of soil, production of sugarcane and beet are affected by international trade agreements and domestic price support programmes. 2.2.1. The Crushing season for different sugarcane producing countries Country/ Area Europe Cuba, Mexico USA Mainland Hawaii Season March-September November – July October-June January- December Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 5 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi Brazil Africa China Pakistan Thailand Australia India 2.2.2. World sugar trade: World trade in raw sugar is typically around 22 MMT and white sugar around 16 MMT. Brazil is the largest importer, followed by EU, Thailand, Australia and Cuba. The largest importers are Russia, Indonesia, UK, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, the Middle East, and North Africa. 2.2.3. Sugar Pricing: Government of India fixes Statutory Minimum Price (SMP) for sugarcane according to Clause 3 of the Sugarcane Order. This statutory Minimum Price is designed through the consent of Commission for Agricultural Coast and Prices (CACP) and respective state Governments. For the year 2004-05, the rate was fixed at Rs. 74.50 per quintal with basic recovery of 8.5% 2.3. Indian scenario of sugar industry 2.3.1. Towards independence It is as from 1937 with the requests of the workers and the establishment of the Labor Party that regrouped the colored people and certain intellectuals from Indian origin as well as the recognition of the workers unions that progress started to be done. There was also a new constitution after the elections of 1943 during which two forth of the population could vote.

DKSSK.N. Chikodi elections of 1953 made democracy move ahead when the Labor party obtained more seats. It was in 1957, the year when the ministerial system started in Mauritius that Dr Ramgoolam took the leadership of the Labor party. 2.3.2. Sugar industry in India: Mostly sugar industries are located in U.P, Bihar Maharashtra, A.P. Karnataka and T.N. The sugar industry is one of the largest organized industries with total capital investment of more than 500 crores. It employees more than 2.5 lakhs of workers besides creating extensive indirect employment over 25 to 30 million cultivators of sugar cane, dealers in sugar and confectioneries. When sugar industry was granted tariff protection the history of sugar industry started again before 1932 which gave limpet us (driving force) to growth of industry. Again the government in 1951 provided incentives by fixing minimum prices of cane and maximum prices of sugar. This incentive scheme increased the production of sugar but discouraged the cane production. We will see later on how contradictory government. Policies have adversely affected the growth of sugar industry. Unfortunately, government policy has been that of control and recontrol from time to time creating an environment inimical (hostility, untrendly) to the growth of sugar industry. Up to 1957-58 both consumption and production of sugar rose to; 20 lakhs tones each. During 1969‟s production of sugar rose to 35lakshs tones and during 1970‟s it was in between 40 to 50 lakh tones. And during 2000-01 it was in-between 80 to 90 lakhs tonnes. The first sugar mill in the country was set up in 1903 in the United Provinces. There are 566 installed sugar mills, of which 453 were in operation in the year 2002-03 and utilized 194.4 million ton of sugarcane (69% of total cane production) to produce 20.14 million tons of sugar. About 5 lakhs workmen are directly employed in the sugar. About 5 lakh workmen are directly employed in the sugar industry besides many in industries, which utilize by-products of sugar industry as raw material. India is the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar in the world. The Indian sugar industry is the second largest agro-industry located in the rural India. The Indian sugar industry has a turnover of Rs. 500 billion per annum and it contributes almost Rs. 22.5 billion to the central and state exchequer as tax, cess, and excise duty every year. It is the second largest Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 7 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi agro-processing industry in the country after cotton textiles. Indian sugar industry has been a focal point for socio-economic development in the rural areas. About 50 million sugarcane farmers and a large number of agricultural laborers are involved in sugarcane cultivation and ancillary activities, constituting 7.5% of the rural population. Besides, the industry provides employment to about 2 million skilled/semi skilled workers and others mostly from the rural areas. The industry not only generates power for its own requirement but surplus power for export to the grid based on by-product –Bagasse. It also produces ethyl alcohol, which is used for industrial and potable uses, and can be used to the manufacture Ethanol, an ecology friendly and renewable fuel for blending with petrol The sugar industry in the country uses only sugarcane as input; hence sugar companies have been established in large sugarcane growing states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. In sugar year 2003-04, these six states contribute more than 85%of total sugar production in the country; Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka together contribute more than 65%of total production. 2.3.3. Sugar production in Indian states: The following table shows level of sugar production (In Lakh Tonnes) in Indian States: State Uttar Pradesh Maharashtra Karnataka Tamil Nadu Andhra Pradesh Gujarat 2002-03 58.74 61.64 17.98 17.04 11.88 12.38 2003-04 46.08 31.99 11.57 11.9 8.81 10.77 2004-05 Estimated 50.32 22.29 13 9.84 9.75 8.32 Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 8 An organization study of Shree.

The government de-licensed sugar sector w.e.f. 11.9.1988. The entrepreneurs have been allowed to set up sugar factories of expand the existing sugar factories as per the techno-economic feasibility of the project. However, they are required to maintain a radial distance of 15 kms from the existing sugar factory. After de-licensing, a number of new sugar plants of varying capacities have been set up and the existing plants have substantially increased their capacity. The average per capita consumption of sugar is estimated at 18.3 kg/year in the year 2002-03. Based on the existing trend, this is estimated to increase to 23-24 kg/year by year 2010. At an annual population growth rate of 1.6% annum, the population of India is expected to be Crores by the year 2010 and therefore the corresponding estimated requirement of sugar will be 24.3 million tons. To achieve this, the sugar cane needs to be cultivated on an area of about 5.5 million ha with an average yield of 65 T/ha. As the increase in area of the sugarcane from the present 4.36 million hectare to 5.5 million hectare, may not be possible due to other competing crops, it becomes necessary to improve the productivity and yield of sugarcane and sugar recovery. The State wise scenario in respect of sugarcane production, cane consumption by sugar industry, sugar produced, season duration, number of units etc. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 9 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi There are 566 installed sugar mills in the country as on March 31st 2005, with a production capacity of 180 lack MTs of sugar, of which only 453 are working. These mills are located in 18 states of the country. 2.3.4. The sector wise break up’s as follows: Sector Private Public Co-operative Total No of Factories 189 62 315 566 2.3.5. Contribution of sugar industry to Indian economy: Sugar industry contributes about Rs.1650 crores to the Central Exchequer as excise duty and other taxes annually. In addition, about Rs.600 crores is realized by the State Governments annually through purchase tax and cess on cane. At the prevailing sugarcane price, the total sugar cane produced in the country value at about Rs.24000 crores per year. 2.3.6. Sugar Pricing: Government of India fixes Statutory Minimum Price (SMP) for sugarcane according to Clause 3 of the Sugarcane Order. This statutory Minimum Price is designed through the consent of Commission for Agricultural Coast and Prices (CACP) and respective state Governments. For the year 2004-05, the rate was fixed at Rs. 74.50 per quintal with basic recovery of 8.5% 2.3.7. Government Policy The present policy of partial decontrol 10% of production by each unit is supplied for public distribution system i.e. as levy sugar at Govt. notified prices admittedly below 20% of the actual cost of production. The levy sugar is I to the public irrespective of their economic status. The Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 10 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi balance 90% is sold in the free market against monthly\issued by the Government. This policy has been continuing since 1967-68 except for brief periods of de-control me during the years of surplus production and accumulated sugar stocks. Government announces the Statutory Minimum Price (SMP) for sugarcane every year based on recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). 2.3.8. Main problems of sugar industry:      Sugar industries in India suffering from inadequate supply of sugar cane. Sugar industry was initially unevenly distributed in the country. If has the high cost of production. The crushing season is very short .If runs for nearly 100 to 110 days in a year. By product of sugar industry like bagassese, molasses, filter cake etc are not properly utilized. 2.3.9. Indian Govt. on Sugar Industry: .The following policy initiatives are taken to boost the Sugar industry:  Government declared the new policy on August 20, 1998 with regards to licenses for new factories, which shows that there will be no sugar factory in a radius of 15 km.  Setting up of Indian Institute of Sugar Technology at Kanpur is meant for improving efficiency in the industry.  In the year 1982, the sugar development fund was set up with a view to avail loans for modernization of the industry. 2.4. SWOT analysis of the industry 2.4.1. Strengths    Indian sugar industry is the second largest producer of sugar in the world after Brazil. It has the potential to make the country self reliant in this highly sensitive essential Commodity of mass consumption. Provides direct employment including ancillary activities to near about 50 million 11 Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi Workers, thus becoming a focal point of socioeconomic development of the rural India.   Supports the downstream industries by providing the raw material for forward Integration. Strong government policies as it come under essential commodity of mass consumption. 2.4.2. Weakness     Lower installed capacities leading to higher production cost. Outdated technologies. Less professionalism. Preponderance on vagaries of the weather. 2.4.3. Opportunities     High value of by-products for downstream industries. Huge potential to increase the productivity of cane and sugar recovery rate. Technology up gradation available for the byproduct utilization thus de risking the business. Increasing focus of Government towards ethanol utilization, beneficial for ethanol producing sugar companies. 2.4.4. Threats     The sector is highly vulnerable to political interest and interferences. Deterioration in the quality of soil due to overuse of fertilizer and pesticides to increase sugarcane yield. Any adverse government policy. High sugarcane price. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 12 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N.

DKSSK.N. Chikodi 3.3. Historical background Considering the call of administration of independent India to go for Industrialisation and to develop agro based Industry in Rural India particularly, to sugar Industry has emerged as a source of livelihood for the Rural farming community. Observing the greater changes with Industrial policy and to provide financial support to the farmers of this backward and border area, our veteran Co-operator and Agriculturist late Shri Chidanand B. Kore and his contemparies had resorted to go for a Sugar Industry in this area after putting a enormous efforts in getting Licences, clearances, collection of equities and technical support, Shree Doodhaganga Krishna S.S.K. Niyamit, Chikodi had come into existence with a crushing capacity at 1250 TCD from 1974-75. With the assistance of Cane Grower members and higher term lending Institutions the factory was crushing at the rated capacity by fulfilling its objects till 1984-85. The then management had taken a pertinent decision to enhance the crushing capacity from 1250 TCD to 2000 TCD from 1984-85 onwards. Meanwhile a lot of changes were taking place in the field of sugar technology and financial management, and it was proved that the stand alone sugar industry would not be viable and to achieve the financial stability of Sugar Factory should go with expansion of crushing capacity and install the by-products units. A time had come to crush more cane in a shorter period and to run the byproducts units for a longer time. Then came a great change in the Management. Under the ablest leadership of the then M.P. Shri Prabhakar B. Kore, MLC, Chairman K.L.E. Society, Belgaum, the Management had taken major decisions to go for expanded capacity in crushing to install Co-generation Power Project & Distillery Units. The Annual General Body Meeting had supported wholehearted and contributed more shares for taking up sum useful units. The State had rarely seen such a Cooperator, Educationalist, Social reformer and visionary like Shri Prabhakar B. Kore who had dedicated his life totally for all-round development of farming community. Under the stewardship since 1991-92 the factory had started its changes and had taken a shape to fit itself to go a sound finance support directly to farmers and workers and indirectly to the people involved I such activities. Looking to the then circumstances and technical changes in the Sugar scenario the following projects have been implemented through years upto 1990-2004. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 16 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi 1) Crushing capacity enhancement from 2000 TCD to 5500 TCD.

Chikodi suggestions from worker to improve production & Suggestion Box system should be implement.   Safety measures, latest technologies education, training should provide to each worker to develop safety consciousness. In certain jobs workers necessitate personal preventive equipments like goggles, masks, helmets which is not yet provided to worker in some area. But workers in some area require these equipments, which protect worker during work time.  To improve the productivity: To meet global challenges Indian sugar industry should adopt & install improve plant & machinaries to reduce cost of production. Similarly it has to invest in R & D activities to produce good quality & high yielding cane.   Greater emphasis has to be laid on productivity techical guidance & services to cane growers. The company should take expansion project to enhance its crashing capacity as early as possible to take advantage of large – scale production . 7.3. Conclusion Doodhaganga sugar is one of the co-operative companies in the field of sugar cane production. I got the opportunity to visit D.K.S.S.K.N. Factory.

Introduction: A labour problem has arisen with the beginning of the small scale to the large scale industrial production. In many country of the world capitalism may be considered to be a very important sours of labor problems in this economic system out at all the factors at production land labor capital organization and enter prenew capital is regarded as the most important factor at production the capitalist collects all those factors at production puts them into the process at production the total production is undertaking by all factors and distributed among them by the capitalist and he test the output and the shares held by himself as the profit under this system labor which plays a key role in modern production is replaced by a worker doing job on wages. In the primitive society when the agriculture was the primary employment the people as a means of livelihood there was no conflict between employer and employee production was undertaken on a very small scale by the member of the family for their fulfillment of their own stat stance needs, bread, cloth and shelter or house the labor problem started with the change at the scale of the production the requirement of the society increased with the expansion of education and setting up new modern society consequently the scale of production gradually changed and it has began to be undertaken on the large scale . In this new economic system. The labor stared selling its labor power to the capitalist for wages new worker was the double edged weapon certain pushing factors in the rural areas or villages, forced them to find out some jobs in the cities or new industrial estates with the result that millions of worker there this tendency of worker overcrowded the cities. The labor was compelled to work on very low wages under the unfavorable condition of work terms and condition of their services were very poor, in the first phase of industrialization labor was unorganized and there fore was forced to be the victim of the employee who was very powerful controlling the entire means of productions. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 52 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi 1.2. Meaning of labour The term labor has different meaning in economics by labor we mean any work whether manual or mental which undertaken for a monetary consideration the terms like worker work man labor and employee are practically the synonyms of labor which are generally used in the discussion on the labor problem do by labor we mean wage labor that may be different as workers who do not have any other proper source of their livelihood except the sale of their labor in return for wages or salary thus labor today includes worker both physical or mental who work for other for given payment is cash or kind. 1.3. Main features of labours It is here very important to not that labor is absolutely different from other means of production since labor is a living thing that causes all the difference main features of labors are discussed below which distinguish it from other means of production     labor is inseparable from the labor him self to Marshall “the worker sells his work but the himself remains his own property” A labor has to go himself to sell his labor therefore the environment in which labor has to work carries at most importance in the supply of the labor. Labor is a perishable commodity it a worker does not work for a particular period he will never recover has lot hours labor cannot be stored up like other goods. Labor has a very weak bargaining power worker are almost poor and have no reserve funds they cannot easily with hold their labor from the market Fritch roll rightly remarks “The worker has no remark price”    The supply of labor is limited in the short period it cannot be increased in its demand on the other hand its supply cannot be curtailed immediately even its wages falls. Labor is no so mobile as capital it is because of the different language, customs etc that the worker face difficulties in their movement from one place to another. While taking labor any other policy into consideration we have to keep in mind that labor is not any factor of production but it is also an end of the production. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 53 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi  Labor is only the factor of production which is active and a human and social consideration should also be taken into account in the discussion of problem connected with labor. 1.4. Significance of labour As a factor of production labor is the most significant factor the utilization of other factors largely depends on the time and efficiency of labor as a matter of fact workers are human being capable of holding the entire responsibilities of production and achieving higher objectives workers have their own aspiration of life and hence it handled properly they may lead to the success of industrial out put or industrial growth of economy since Labor is now organized and comprises conscious worker they cannot be ready to obey the arbitrary and discretionary dictates of their employers or managements today they deal with the management not only as individual persons but also as the members of trade unions which have infect increased their strength and professional consciousness. 1.5. Rise of labor problem in India: Labor problem in India has also arisen very recently with induction of industrialization and its progress in the country before the beginning of large scale production in the industrial sector the cottage industries were managed by the head of the family in cooperation with other family members there was no conflict between workers, carrying their job such are unit because the belonged ultimately to a Family but the beginning of industrialization helped develop a modern society in the country which was divided into two section. Capitalist or employers and workers on various issues whether is capitalist society or socialist pattern of society every agent attempts to get the largest share in the profit and that gives rise to labor problems in any country of the world, thus the growth of labor problems in India can be seen or studies in the context of industrial development and decline at cottage industries in the country 1.6. Factors Responsible For The Growth Of Labor Problems In India : Modern industrialization in most of the developing nations which has led to increase in the conflict between Industrialist and the labor all economic powers are centralized in the hands of a Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 54 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi few capitalist while masses of have to depend for subsistence upon their low wages in such condition labor problems begin to appear these problems have different dimensions following are game of the factors responsible for the growth of labor problems in an economy in India. 1.7. India’s industrial policy in the post: The British govt never thought at laying down a heal the industrial policy of laisser faire and material Darwinism destroyed our cottage industries. The Indian industries set up in the second phase of industrialization having sound economic position could services. 1.8. Disintegration and Decline of rural industries: During the 17th and 18th centuries India used to export its various commodities silk, goods etc to other countries such as Japan, Indonesia and several countries of Europe, west Africa, middle east and central Asia towards the end of 18th century cottage industry started to be replaced by modern industries the heavy industries , rural industries could not stand in competition and hence they gradually decline million of jobless persons who used to work in rural industries had find out employment in the cities. In the modern industrial sector more over the surplus labor class had to emigrate from India to other British countries. 1.9. Decline of Rural economy: Before British rule majority of Indian population lived in the village were independent having self sustaining economy, the agriculture output was sufficient to fulfill the needs were fulfilled by local artisans who were fed by peasants the increased population and action of cities and later on British economic policy impaired the agro based rural economy in India. The British rulers introduced zamindar system in India zamindars were the mediators between the state and farmers, they helped the Government, in collecting land revenue and gave a permanent land support to British. British rulers at the grass roots level. In the absence of tax payment in time zamindar used to deprive the farmers of the right of cultivation of land one the land at peasant was confiscated He was forces to work for his zamindar as a bonded labor the mallrats of zamindar against the marginal formers led to an Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 55 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi increase in the number at landless worker decided this the poverty of masses and problem at indebtedness of mass of formers forced them to become landless labor. Similarly the pressure of population and sub division and frequentation of holding also force the surplus labor force to work as a labor either upon the land at big land owners or in the industries being established in the urban areas or big cities. Land Reforms: Land reforms such as abolition of zamindar system redistribution of land mechanism of agriculture have aggravated the problem rural labors Dr.R.K.Mukharji rightly comets “Every circumstance which has wreaked the economic position of the small holders has increased the supply at agricultural labors. The labors loss at common rights in the rural economy. The subdivision of holdings the misuses at collective enterprise multiplication at rent receivers free mortgaging and transfers at land the decline of the cottage industries. Socio economic structure: Indian society has a special socio economic structure in the country side it is based on caste and joint family system and several other traditional social costumes these specialties of Indian society restrict occupation mobility and force people not to leave their own hereditary occupation or village where they work or live. Myers here states despite the which average villages faced the socio economic structure frequently held him and even today attract him back from the cities the typical Indian villages family is a joint family each thus presents a social system particularly for incompetent and employed youth. But in recent year a large member of worker has been concentrated in the industrial areas situated mostly in big cities and they have been ultimately forced to be settled their lands. 1.10. Meaning of industrial labor: Literally the term industrial labor to all those workers are employed in large, small and cottage industries but in India this terms is used in a restricted sense it refers to only those workers who Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 56 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi are employed in organized industries, industries converted by the factories act it does not include the worker employed in cottage are house hold industries. 1.11. Characteristics or Features of industrial labor: Industrial labor in India has several distinct features the main features are,  Illiteracy: A good proportion of our industrial worker are illiterate and uneducated so they are not able to understand the problem effecting their interest and the interest at the industry in which they are employed and how is their work heavy and what to get payment for their work they took low payment for heavy work due to illiteracy.  Disunity: The industrial worker at our country are not united on the basis of trade or occupation they are divided and subdivided on the basis of caste, language, religion etc. In short there is lack of unity among our industrial worker.  Lack of discipline: There is no discipline among the industrial workers absenteeism without any reason, indiscipline, moving from one job to another job etc are very common with our factory worker.  Lack of organization: The industrial workers are unable to organization themselves that is the reason why most of the trade unions in the country are controlled not by worker at the factories but by out sider especially politicians and the industrial labors have the problem of lack of organization.  Low efficiency: The efficiency of industrial labor is relatively low for instance an American worker can attend to 1,120spindless in a cotton mill a British worker 600 spindles, a Japanese worker 240 spindles but an Indian worker can manage only 180 spindles. 1.12. Problem of Industrial labor Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 57 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi It is regrettable fact that their have not been sufficient and improvement in the condition of Indian labor. The Indian labor is not properly organized and does not have its own leadership but depends upon out side guidance the non labor leader are politically motivates and are not really not interested in the labor welfare as a matter of fact they more often then not use the labor unrest as a means to grind their own instead of helping the labors genially the government no paid enough attention to the real problem and needs of labor and though there is labor legislation intended to help the labor but in actual practice there is little improvement in the condition of labor following are chief problem of Indian labor.  Problem of migration: One of the main problem of Indian labor is the problem of migration the increasing pressure on land due to population explosion the ever growing army of landless tillers the social stigma on Harijan increase in indebtedness break down of joint families fast means of communication ravaging of cottage industries and city oriented communication are some of the causes responsible for the exodus of villager and their influx into industrial labor two while by joining the army of industrial labor there is same improvement in the economic condition and relating of pressure on land the family and social life of these new recruits gets upset this creates problem of social adjustment decrease efficiency and comes in the way of the development of healthy employer employee relationship.  Problem of recruitment: The second main problem of the industrial labor is that of recruitment as yet there is little direct recruitment most of is done through intermediaries, the services of the employment exchange are available to very few as most of the worker are depended upon intermediaries and as intermediaries have special type of relationship with the employers they can afford to be have arbitral with the worker they receive cut back and have also to be propitiated by other gift.  Problem of absenteeism: The labor force habiting from villages is usually unable to cope with the alien environment of light is not available in cities besides slums in which the worker live are extremely unhygienic Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 58 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi and great breeders of diseases accordingly the worker are usually unwell they consume liger and visit prostitute all these factors combined result in large absenteeism from factories. The chief causes to absenteeism in India are illness, night shift alcoholism, migrating instruct industrials accidents, prostitution, laziness frequency of festivals and litigation the absenteeism produces adverse economic effects industrial production and the earring of labor besides it causes rift and tension between employer and employee the various measures presently taken to meet this problem are grossly inadequate a committee set by the Bombay textile mills to investigate the causes of absenteeism. And make suitable recommendation for Remedying the problem come the following conclusion proper conclusion for work in the factory adequate wage protection from accident sickness and facilities for obtaining leave rest and recreation constitute the moat effective means of reducing absenteeism.  Problem of trade union: In India the trade union movement is not as yet well organized and developed the lack of education, susceptibility to religion influence generally fatalistic out look deep indebtedness and opposition by employers and intermediaries are same at the factors responsible for slow and uneven growth of trade union movement the labor does not have its own leadership and has to depend upon politician who have furtherance at their own interest rather than labor welfare at heart.  Problem of industrial disputes: The capitalist economic and social structure the policy of creating dissention among workers by intermediaries of worker labor legislation and paying of compensation are the problems which lead to frequent strikes lock outs at times these disputes then violent and labors suffers heavily.  Problem of wages: The chief problem of worker is that they are poorly paid in same cases these are below subsistence level due to lack of adequate wages the labor is unable to give proper education to his children he cannot maintain his health this leads to decline in his efficiency and in the ultimate analyses the productively falls. Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 59 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi  Problem of indebtedness: On account of low wages bribes to intermediaries regent drinking and prostitution most of the worker are permanently and deeply under dept it has been estimated that more than 2/3 worker of big industrial towns are under dept exceeds their 3 months salary due to heavy indebtedness the worker cannot think progressively and Consider whole of his life unrelieved drudged the causes of indebtedness are many usually the worker is born in dept and due to drudgery becomes desensitized this farther complicates his problems and desires him to die a pauper in dept.  Problem of low living standard: Due to low wages and rising spiral of prices the living of standard of an Indian worker has been drooping constantly a comparison of wages in India with other countries will bring into relief the pathetic plight at the Indian, Indian labor the labor worker in India are underrated and more than 39% suffer from serious malnutrition in U.S.A75 year cloth is used per head where as in India it is only 16yard there are many causes of caw living standard the main among them.        low wages illiteracy population exploitation intoxication lack of fatalism Problem of health: Due to low wages and low standard the worker are unable to eat whole same balance diet addicted to smoking, tobacco chewing, drinking and visiting cinemas and bawdy house all these reason coupled with unhygienic living condition in adequate clothing inclement weather heavily Institute of Management Studies and Research, Kuvempu University, Shankarghatta 60 An organization study of Shree. DKSSK.N. Chikodi dispose workers to disease and infection according to Prof.B.P.Adarker a worker loses 14.6 days a year due to ill health.  Problem of efficiency: According to the report of tariff board a worker in India can handle 180 spindle where as his counterpart in Japan, England and America can handle 240,250 to 600,1220 spindles respectively as a rule the efficiency of Indian worker is 1/2 or even 1/3 of the worker in progressive countries ill health lack of education, lack of will to learn and progress eradication to bad habits are some of the factors responsible for the low efficiency of the Indian worker.  Problem of working condition: The condition of the work of the majority of labor are extremely bad and deplorable and leave much to be desired most of the factories are ill ventilated and illumination is improper the living and working condition are making worker toilet etc, do not exists in extreme a weather there is no provision to minimize its effect due to lack of amenities and hazardous working condition the efficiency of worker drops and they are expensed to accident and infection.
