The project studied by me in PSPCL ,Patiala, was Employee Welfareness. It helps to understand the Employee welfare programs and they results in efficiency.

Employee welfare means the effort to make life worth living for workmen. When all basic facilities are provided and employees obtain satisfaction then the productivity can be increased and development of the organization will be possible

The Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) was a statutory body formed on 1-2-1959 under the Electricity Supply Act.1948.

Subsequently with the re-organization of the erstwhile State of Punjab under the Punjab Re-

organization Act 1966 this form came into existence w.e.f. 1st May, 1967.

Starting with the modest installed capacity of 62 MW, the PSEB grew up by leaps and bounds with generating capacity 6841 MW as on 31-3-2009 from all sources, including share from Central Sector Projects.

The Board's gross generation during the year2008-09 was 38880 Million Units. PSEB operated its own Generation Power Plants and also got power as its share from BBMB.

The PSEB also constructed and maintained its Transmission and Distribution system for providing efficient services to the various categories of electricity consumers in the state.

PSEB proudly serving more than 66.31 lakhs consumers comprising of approximate 54.86 lakhs .General, 1.12 lakhs Industrial and 10.33 lakhs Agricultural connections till 31.3.2009

The erstwhile Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) now

Subsequently with the re-organization of the erstwhile State of Punjab under the Punjab Re-organization act

1966 the PSEB in the present form came into existence

It is an organization responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of the electric power in the state of Punjab.

But on 15th April 2010, PSEB was divided into two separate corporations namely PSPCL which looks after the generation and distribution and PSTCL which looks after the transmission of electricity. Starting with the modest installed capacity of 62 MW, the PSPCL has grown by leaps and bounds with the metered sales of 20741.60 MW in 2009-10 and 5446.21 till June 2010-11

As per the electricity act of the Punjab, PSEB is unbundled and made into separate entities. PSEB is unbundled into two different companies- one Holding company Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) which is responsible for the generation and distribution of the electricity and one smaller corporation named as Punjab State Transmission Corporation

Limited (PSTCL) which is responsible for the

Labour welfare may be viewed as total concept, as a social concept and as a relative concept.

According to MR. R. PRADEEP (2009) Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits and facilities offered to employees & by the employers. Through such generous fringe benefits the employer makes life worth living for employees. Welfare includes anything that is done for the comfort and improvement of employees and is provided over and above the wages. Welfare helps in keeping the morale and motivation of the employees high so as to retain the employees for longer duration. The welfare measures need not be in monetary terms only but in any kind/forms. Employee welfare includes monitoring of working conditions, creation of industrial harmony through infrastructure for health, industrial relations and insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their families.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

health, safety and welfare measures in PSPCL, Patiala. The

Sample Size 100 Sample Unit Employees Area of Survey Patiala LIMITATIONS

The result of this research cannot be termed as making a fair representation of the sales promotion. Study was confined to Patiala Only. Sample size taken was 100 respondents, the result might have varied had there been a larger sample size. It is very much possible that some of the respondents may have given the incorrect information. The last but the most important point to that survey was carried through Questionnaire and the Questions were based on perception. Most important is positioning. But there may be certain aspects not taken into consideration.

The data was collected during the working hours, employees were busy in their routine work so they were less responsive. The data is collected from the permanent and casual employees and hence the opinion of contract employees is not collected. Inadequacy of time was a major limiting factor faced.

Employee Welfare

The ILO (International Labour Organization) defined, welfare as a term which is understood to include such services and amenities as may be established in or the vicinity of undertaking to perform their work in healthy, congenial surrounding and to provide them with amenities conductive to good health and high morale.

Human resource plays an important role in any organization .employee welfare facilities are concern to this department, if the employee happy with welfare facilities then only the productivity of that organization can be increased. Based on the study of Employee Welfare Facilities in PSPCl it is clear that the company is very keen in the promoting all the welfare facilities provided by State Govt. Employees are satisfied to medical check up and HRA allowance. Really company will take care about all Employees and also contract base workers. Finally the study concludes that the employees are satisfied with the present Welfare Facilities in the organization.

Employees are not satisfied to quality of the Snacks which is provided by the canteen, so quality of the food has to be increased to keep the health of the employees good. In my opinion company should provide transportation facility to contract worker by taking the fare of the bus. The company should provide Toilet and wash room facilities to contract workers. Company should increase the Canteens facilities for the contract workers. Some workers complained about the rest room in the company is not so good it should be kept clean and comfortable in rest period.
