MAJOR REASONS FOR THE LOSS OF THE MILLS As per Clause 3 of the sugar control order, 1966, the mill is bound to pay only the statutory minimum price (SMP) for the cane supplied by the growers. Whereas the mill has been paying very high cane price which includes state Advisory price and Additional cane price as announced by the govt. of pondicherry. The additional financial commitments to the mills on account of it work out to the extent of Rs.5, 00crores per year. As per section 2 of the payment of Bonus Act, 1965, the mill has to pay only the minimum bonus to its eligible employees as the mill has been incurring loss continuously. But, the mill has been paying Rs.14, 500/- as bonus and gift to all its employees as per govt. orders. The additional commitment for the mill on account of it works out to Rs.1.00 core per annum. Another important reason for the loss during the year 2005-2006 is due to the drawl of the cane from new Horizon sugar mills area. The area due to which the mill has to crush young cane during early period and over aged cane during the end of crushing period. In addition, excess rain fall during the north east monsoon as resulted in poor recovery.
The sugar prices have been static for the last four years whereas there is enormous increase in the cane price. The salary overheads of the mills work out to 25%against the optimum level of 16. at present, there are 722 employees and the annual wage bill is around Rs.9.0 cores.
FUTURE PLANS: 1. High sucrose varieties of sugar cane are being introduced with stabilization of cane command area to ensure adequate sugar cane supply. 2. It is proposed to go for expansion and modernization of the mills. 3. It is proposed to set up a 30KL/day Distillery unit in mill premises. 4. After expansion and modernization and stabilization of cane command area, the mill can install co-generation plant also.
WELFARE ACTIVITIES
EMPLOYEES WELFARE 1. A canteen is run by the mills and food refreshments are being supplied at subsidized rate. 2. Two school buses are being operated to the school going children of the employees and ryots to pondicherry. 3. Mediclaim policy has been introduced from 30-3-2005 to all the employees. 4. PONCOS SCHOOL: for the welfare of the employees and the cane growers of the mill, the management has started Kinder Garden School during the year 1989. Subsequently, during the year 1991, 1st standard was started increasing higher standards every year and during the year 1996 reached the standard of high school level. From the year 1996, the school achieved 100% result in 10th standard continuously. The total strength of the school at present is 1500 and staff strength is 36. it is proposed to upgrade the present high school to higher secondary school from the next academic year i.e 2007-2008. a new school building is being constructed at an estimated cost of Rupees 4.5 cores.
5. COLLEGE: It is proposed to establish a polytechnic college by the mills to provide the technical education to the young students of rural areas.

Need for study
Of the 5 m’s management man, machine, material, methods, and money, out of these resources manpower is can asset to the organization. It also called knowledge capital or knowledge resources. As the management Guru Peter F. Drucker rightly says “knowledge is the only meaningful resource today” for access to other resources is no longer, limited. Capital flows freely a cross borders, seeking out the company that need it. Technology is available to the CEO’s who cannot grow it- for the right price raw material is free to be transported across the globe. Information is also available to everyone. Today the human resources is very demanding and they look at jobs to test their own knowledge, organization are also realizing the importance of people resources in this liberalized, Globalize & privatized economy.
Lab our welfare can be statistically proved is directly co-related to customer satisfaction. Every organization should determine whether the employees working are satisfied with the facility provided by organization. This is the need of the hour because satisfied employees will ensure satisfied customers.
In order to make them happy, feel satisfied and retain them, organization plan retention strategies. To make this possible one has to determine what the present employees perceived satisfaction used towards the labour welfare. The survey on employee satisfaction win help the organization to evaluate its return on investment in the important area like lab our welfare measures.
CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Since 1997, the government has pursued a number of inter-related policies aimed at reforming the welfare system for people of working age getting more people into work and reducing poverty. Joseph Rowntree Foundation research had identified many of the needs of targeted groups and the Foundation has been involved in commenting on reform plans and tracking progress
This Foundations written by Donald Hirsh with Jane Millar is a round-up of what JRF (Joseph Rowntree Foundation) has had to say about Welfare reform and related issues since the later 1990’s and provides and assessment of the progress made
Welfare programs have evolved over time and have been replaced as successive governments have perceived different needs. The recrity the major reviews is somewhat surprising given the long entity of the major programs. The old age and invalid pensions originating in 1908 and the unemployment and sickness benefits payments in 1944.
1980- The Social Security Review commences form 1986:The social Security Review was established in February 1986 by the them minister for social security the Hon. Brian Howe, MP. The review was founded for two years and was commissioned to develop as long-term perspective on priorities and where needed new directions for income security focusing on three main areas:? Income support for families with children ? Social security and workforce issue ? Income support for the aged. New labours welfare reform agenda in the workbarist shift of recent social policy. In this context explores the aim of new Labour’s welfare reform programme to reconstitute the reserve army of Labour. So that its is able to fulfil its role in managing economic stability. The emphasis is upon ensuring that Labour is as cheap as possible for
capital to employees through various directly and indirectly wage subsidies and requiring work benefits dependent groups to compete for paid employment.
Professor Peter Saunders 2003
There are several reasons for trying to reduce welfare dependency rates and return more people to economic self-reliance. There are two much stronger reasons for radical reform.
One is that income support is now costing taxpayers $80 billion per year. This expense is a key factor keeping taxes high, even on workers with modest incomes with the result that work incentives and rewards for effort get eroded indeed, we are chasing our tails for as we increase taxation to meet the growing cost of income support payments, so it becomes less attractive to work, and more people seek welfare as an alternative. The second reason is that long periods on welfare corrode people’s work skills, destroy their habit of self-reliance and undermine their wellbeing. Children raised in welfare-dependent families perform worse than they should in school, are more likely to end up in trouble with the law, and have a higher probability of winding up of benefits themselves. In short having one in six of our working-age adults depending on benefits as their main or sole source of income is bad for those who have to support them and is bad for the simultaneously on three fronts Arun Monappa, “Industrial relations”, Tata Mc .Graw Hill Publishing company Ltd., In India, the foundation of modern industry was laid between 1850 and 1970. This was also the period of emergence of the Indian working class. During this period of the growth of India capitalist enterprises, the working and living conditions of the lab our were very poor, and their working hours were long. This was testified by the commission like Indian factory lab our commission (1980) and the Royal commission of lab our (1931). In addition to the long working, their wages were low and the general economic condition was poor in industry. In order to regulate the working hours and other services condition of Indian textile laborers, the Indian factories act was enacted in India
A.M.sharma “Aspects of lab our welfare and social security”, Himalayas publishing house, Bombay The necessity of lab our welfare is felt all the more in our country because of its developing economy aimed at rapid economic and social development. Royal commission on lab our stated the benefits which go under this nomenclature, are of great importance to the workers and which he is unable to secure by himself. The scheme of labour welfare may be regarded as a wise investment, which should and usually does bring a profitable return in the form of greater efficiency C.B.Mamoria and S.Mamoria-“dynamics of industrial relations in India “ himalaya publishing house, Bombay Twenty years later the planning commission also realized the importance of lab our welfare, when it observed that. In order to get the best out of a worker in the matter of production, working conditions require to be improved to a large extent. The workers should at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of health and efficiency. This is primarily a question of adequate nutrition and suitable housing conditions. The working conditions should be such as to safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazard. The work place should provide reasonable amenities for his essential needs. The worker should also be equipped with necessary technical training and a certain level of general education.
The concept of lab our welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with times, regions, industry, country, customs and degree of industrialization prevailing at particular moments. Few of these definitions are as follows; „k.k.Ahua-industrial relations theory and practice? kalyani publishers ladhiana The oxford dictionary defines lab our welfare as “effort to make life worth living for workmen”. Encyclopedia of social sciences defines welfare work as “voluntary efforts of the employer to establish, within the existing industrial system working and sometimes living and cultural condition of the employers beyond what is required by law, the customs of the country and conditions of the market”. Lab our welfare is, therefore, one of the major aspects of national programmes towards improving the lot of
lab our and creating a life and work environment of decent comfort for this class of society. Tripathi, “personnel management &practice” sultan chand and sons-new Delhi It is however, difficult to precisely define the scope of lab our welfare efforts. Different writer have defined it in different ways. Some writers say that only voluntary efforts on the part of employer to improve the conditions of employment in their factory. Some others say it includes not only voluntary efforts but also the minimum standards of hygiene and safety laid down in general legislation.
WELFARE AND GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
OR) LABOUR WELFARE IN INDIA:
The need for lab our welfare was strongly felt by royal commission on lab our as far back as 1931. The chapters on directive principles of state policy in our constitution express the need for labours welfare in the following articles; Article 41: The state shall within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to work, to educate and to publish assistance in work, to educate and to publish assistance in case of unemployment, old age, sickness, disablement and other cases of under-served wants. Article 42: The state shall make provision for securing just and human conditions of work and for maternity relief. Article 43: The state shall endeavor to secure, by suitable legislation or economic organization or in any other way, to all workers, agricultural, industrial or otherwise, work , a living wage, condition of work ensuring a decent standard of life and full employment of leisure and social and cultural opportunities and in particular, the state shall endeavor to promote cottage industries on an individual or co-operative in rural areas.

The state take steps by suitable legislation or in any other way to secure participation of workers in the development of undertakings, establishments or other organization engaged in any industry
Types of labour welfare services:
Tripathi. “Personnel Management &Industrial Relation”, sultan chand &sons-new delhi ILO (international labour organization), classify all labour welfare services under two categories, viz, intramural and extramural. Intramural services are those, which are provided within factory. Extramural services are those, which are provided outside the factory. Intra-mural 1.drinking water 2.toilets 3.occupation safety 4.canteen 1. Social Extra-mural insurance (gratuity, pension,
provident fund etc.) 2.housing facility 3.recreation facility
IMPORTANCE OF WELFARE MEASURES;
The usefulness of welfare work in India cannot be over emphasized. Welfare activities influence the sentiments of the workers. When the workers feel that the employers and the state are interested in their happiness, his tendency to grouse and grumble will steadily disappear. The development of such a feeling, paves the way for industrial peace.
Mainly, the provisions welfare measures such as good housing, canteen, medical etc. makes them realize that they have also some stake in the undertaking in which are engaged and so they think thrice before taking any reckless actions which might prejudice the interest of the undertaking.
Welfare measures such as cheap food in canteen, free medical and education facilities etc. indirectly the real income of the workers. If workers go on strike they will be deprived of all these facilities. Hence, they try to avoid industrial dispute as far as possible and do not go on strike on flimsy grounds.
Welfare activities will reduce lab our turnover and absenteeism and create permanent settled lab our force by making service attraction to the lab our. Welfare activities will go on long way to better the mental and moral health of the workers by reducing the incidence of industrialization . Lab our welfare measures develop congenial environment, and builds a good atmosphere between the lab our and the management.
Lab our welfare creates positive work culture, builds team work to meet the challenges of the organization and increase efficiency for the workers whereby the productivity will increase.
Skilled workers are the assets of an organization. Lab our welfare helps to retain the skilled workers and builds loyalty and sense of belongingness among them.
Employees attitudes and appreciation towards the organization, will progress the unit. Good relation can be achieved through labour welfare. This will strengthen the organization manifold. Labour welfare is one of the way in which the labour problems are solved. Labour welfare act as a main spring for the success of an organization. Labour welfare provides economic security to employees. Amenities such as pension, provident fund, insurance etc. will increase the sense of security in them and promote employment stabilization. Above all labour welfare helps the organization from heavy tax-burden, and to meet legal requirements.

CAPTER-IV RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Definition: For the present study descriptive research is adopted. A descriptive research is one, which portrays accurately the characteristics of a particular group, situation, or individual ( with or without specific initial hypothesis about the nature of their characteristics)
The method of random sampling has been adopted for the purpose of getting the required sample frame and this has been done by selecting staff and workers of various department in a random manner. So that the data collected will bring out the varied opinions with regard to employee satisfaction at Pondicherry Co-operative Sugar Mills Ltd.
Data sources
Different kinds of internal sources like employees, human resources information’s company profile and brochures had helped as to collect internal data. External sources had helped a lot like magazines like business today, business world, newspapers like business line, the economic times and subject books like human resources management, personnel management, organizational behavior, research methodology -primary data has been collected through questionnaire -Secondary data collected in the form of internal sources and external sources. Inter sources-company profile employees. External sources-news paper, magazines business today etc.
Research approach:
The survey approach was used to administer the questionnaire to the target respondents. The respondents were contacted through personal interview method. The responses were filled by the interviewer in some cases through face to face method while in some cases interviewee themselves filled the survey form.
Research instrument:
A structured questionnaire has been of closed ended questions & employee perception ratings. Some times questionnaire was distributed to staff & employees and some times it was used as a schedule and data was collected by us.
Sampling plan:
-sample size 75 respondents -sample unit- technicians, operation, shift engineers, chemists of various departments, supervisors, stores assistant and securities pondicherry co-op sugar mills.
Statistical tools:
For this study I have used percentage analysis, correlation & weighted average method, graphical representation of data using Bar charts. Percent analysis: In this project percentage method test is used. It can be calculated in the following way. Percentage of respondents=No. of respondents total no. of respondent * 100 Weighted average method Weighted average can be defined as an average whose components aggregate of the products are divided by the total of weights. One of the imitations of simple arithmetic mean is that it gives equal importance to all the items of the distribution. In certain cases relative importance of all the items in the distribution is not the same where the importance of the items varies. It is essential to allocate weight applied but may vary in
/
different cases. Thus weight age is a number standing for the relative importance of items.
CORRELATION
In probability theory and statistics, correlation, also called correlation co-efficient, indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. In general statistical as age correlation (or) co-relation to the departure of two variables. Formula R=?XY /??X2.Y2

MAJOR REASONS FOR THE LOSS OF THE MILLS As per Clause 3 of the sugar control order, 1966, the mill is bound to pay only the statutory minimum price (SMP) for the cane supplied by the growers. Whereas the mill has been paying very high cane price which includes state Advisory price and Additional cane price as announced by the govt. of pondicherry. The additional financial commitments to the mills on account of it work out to the extent of Rs.5, 00crores per year. As per section 2 of the payment of Bonus Act, 1965, the mill has to pay only the minimum bonus to its eligible employees as the mill has been incurring loss continuously. But, the mill has been paying Rs.14, 500/- as bonus and gift to all its employees as per govt. orders. The additional commitment for the mill on account of it works out to Rs.1.00 core per annum. Another important reason for the loss during the year 2005-2006 is due to the drawl of the cane from new Horizon sugar mills area. The area due to which the mill has to crush young cane during early period and over aged cane during the end of crushing period. In addition, excess rain fall during the north east monsoon as resulted in poor recovery.
The sugar prices have been static for the last four years whereas there is enormous increase in the cane price. The salary overheads of the mills work out to 25%against the optimum level of 16. at present, there are 722 employees and the annual wage bill is around Rs.9.0 cores.
FUTURE PLANS: 1. High sucrose varieties of sugar cane are being introduced with stabilization of cane command area to ensure adequate sugar cane supply. 2. It is proposed to go for expansion and modernization of the mills. 3. It is proposed to set up a 30KL/day Distillery unit in mill premises. 4. After expansion and modernization and stabilization of cane command area, the mill can install co-generation plant also.
WELFARE ACTIVITIES
EMPLOYEES WELFARE 1. A canteen is run by the mills and food refreshments are being supplied at subsidized rate. 2. Two school buses are being operated to the school going children of the employees and ryots to pondicherry. 3. Mediclaim policy has been introduced from 30-3-2005 to all the employees. 4. PONCOS SCHOOL: for the welfare of the employees and the cane growers of the mill, the management has started Kinder Garden School during the year 1989.

Need for study
Of the 5 m’s management man, machine, material, methods, and money, out of these resources manpower is can asset to the organization. It also called knowledge capital or knowledge resources. As the management Guru Peter F. Drucker rightly says “knowledge is the only meaningful resource today” for access to other resources is no longer, limited. Capital flows freely a cross borders, seeking out the company that need it. Technology is available to the CEO’s who cannot grow it- for the right price raw material is free to be transported across the globe. Information is also available to everyone. Today the human resources is very demanding and they look at jobs to test their own knowledge, organization are also realizing the importance of people resources in this liberalized, Globalize & privatized economy.
Lab our welfare can be statistically proved is directly co-related to customer satisfaction. Every organization should determine whether the employees working are satisfied with the facility provided by organization. This is the need of the hour because satisfied employees will ensure satisfied customers.
In order to make them happy, feel satisfied and retain them, organization plan retention strategies. To make this possible one has to determine what the present employees perceived satisfaction used towards the labour welfare. The survey on employee satisfaction win help the organization to evaluate its return on investment in the important area like lab our welfare measures.
CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Since 1997, the government has pursued a number of inter-related policies aimed at reforming the welfare system for people of working age getting more people into work and reducing poverty. Joseph Rowntree Foundation research had identified many of the needs of targeted groups and the Foundation has been involved in commenting on reform plans and tracking progress
This Foundations written by Donald Hirsh with Jane Millar is a round-up of what JRF (Joseph Rowntree Foundation) has had to say about Welfare reform and related issues since the later 1990’s and provides and assessment of the progress made
Welfare programs have evolved over time and have been replaced as successive governments have perceived different needs. The recrity the major reviews is somewhat surprising given the long entity of the major programs. The old age and invalid pensions originating in 1908 and the unemployment and sickness benefits payments in 1944.
1980- The Social Security Review commences form 1986:The social Security Review was established in February 1986 by the them minister for social security the Hon. Brian Howe, MP. The review was founded for two years and was commissioned to develop as long-term perspective on priorities and where needed new directions for income security focusing on three main areas:? Income support for families with children ? Social security and workforce issue ? Income support for the aged. New labours welfare reform agenda in the workbarist shift of recent social policy. In this context explores the aim of new Labour’s welfare reform programme to reconstitute the reserve army of Labour. So that its is able to fulfil its role in managing economic stability. The emphasis is upon ensuring that Labour is as cheap as possible for
capital to employees through various directly and indirectly wage subsidies and requiring work benefits dependent groups to compete for paid employment.
Professor Peter Saunders 2003
There are several reasons for trying to reduce welfare dependency rates and return more people to economic self-reliance. There are two much stronger reasons for radical reform.
One is that income support is now costing taxpayers $80 billion per year. This expense is a key factor keeping taxes high, even on workers with modest incomes with the result that work incentives and rewards for effort get eroded indeed, we are chasing our tails for as we increase taxation to meet the growing cost of income support payments, so it becomes less attractive to work, and more people seek welfare as an alternative. The second reason is that long periods on welfare corrode people’s work skills, destroy their habit of self-reliance and undermine their wellbeing. Children raised in welfare-dependent families perform worse than they should in school, are more likely to end up in trouble with the law, and have a higher probability of winding up of benefits themselves. In short having one in six of our working-age adults depending on benefits as their main or sole source of income is bad for those who have to support them and is bad for the simultaneously on three fronts Arun Monappa, “Industrial relations”, Tata Mc .Graw Hill Publishing company Ltd., In India, the foundation of modern industry was laid between 1850 and 1970. This was also the period of emergence of the Indian working class. During this period of the growth of India capitalist enterprises, the working and living conditions of the lab our were very poor, and their working hours were long. This was testified by the commission like Indian factory lab our commission (1980) and the Royal commission of lab our (1931). In addition to the long working, their wages were low and the general economic condition was poor in industry. In order to regulate the working hours and other services condition of Indian textile laborers, the Indian factories act was enacted in India
A.M.sharma “Aspects of lab our welfare and social security”, Himalayas publishing house, Bombay The necessity of lab our welfare is felt all the more in our country because of its developing economy aimed at rapid economic and social development. Royal commission on lab our stated the benefits which go under this nomenclature, are of great importance to the workers and which he is unable to secure by himself. The scheme of labour welfare may be regarded as a wise investment, which should and usually does bring a profitable return in the form of greater efficiency C.B.Mamoria and S.Mamoria-“dynamics of industrial relations in India “ himalaya publishing house, Bombay Twenty years later the planning commission also realized the importance of lab our welfare, when it observed that. In order to get the best out of a worker in the matter of production, working conditions require to be improved to a large extent. The workers should at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of health and efficiency. This is primarily a question of adequate nutrition and suitable housing conditions. The working conditions should be such as to safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazard. The work place should provide reasonable amenities for his essential needs. The worker should also be equipped with necessary technical training and a certain level of general education.
The concept of lab our welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with times, regions, industry, country, customs and degree of industrialization prevailing at particular moments. Few of these definitions are as follows; „k.k.Ahua-industrial relations theory and practice? kalyani publishers ladhiana The oxford dictionary defines lab our welfare as “effort to make life worth living for workmen”. Encyclopedia of social sciences defines welfare work as “voluntary efforts of the employer to establish, within the existing industrial system working and sometimes living and cultural condition of the employers beyond what is required by law, the customs of the country and conditions of the market”. Lab our welfare is, therefore, one of the major aspects of national programmes towards improving the lot of
lab our and creating a life and work environment of decent comfort for this class of society. Tripathi, “personnel management &practice” sultan chand and sons-new Delhi It is however, difficult to precisely define the scope of lab our welfare efforts. Different writer have defined it in different ways. Some writers say that only voluntary efforts on the part of employer to improve the conditions of employment in their factory. Some others say it includes not only voluntary efforts but also the minimum standards of hygiene and safety laid down in general legislation.
WELFARE AND GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
OR) LABOUR WELFARE IN INDIA:The need for lab our welfare was strongly felt by royal commission on lab our as far back as 1931. The chapters on directive principles of state policy in our constitution express the need for labours welfare in the following articles; Article 41: The state shall within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to work, to educate and to publish assistance in work, to educate and to publish assistance in case of unemployment, old age, sickness, disablement and other cases of under-served wants. Article 42: The state shall make provision for securing just and human conditions of work and for maternity relief. Article 43: The state shall endeavor to secure, by suitable legislation or economic organization or in any other way, to all workers, agricultural, industrial or otherwise, work , a living wage, condition of work ensuring a decent standard of life and full employment of leisure and social and cultural opportunities and in particular, the state shall endeavor to promote cottage industries on an individual or co-operative in rural areas.

The state take steps by suitable legislation or in any other way to secure participation of workers in the development of undertakings, establishments or other organization engaged in any industry
Types of labour welfare services:
Tripathi. “Personnel Management &Industrial Relation”, sultan chand &sons-new delhi ILO (international labour organization), classify all labour welfare services under two categories, viz, intramural and extramural. Intramural services are those, which are provided within factory. Extramural services are those, which are provided outside the factory. Intra-mural 1.drinking water 2.toilets 3.occupation safety 4.canteen 1. Social Extra-mural insurance (gratuity, pension,
provident fund etc.) 2.housing facility 3.recreation facility
IMPORTANCE OF WELFARE MEASURES;
The usefulness of welfare work in India cannot be over emphasized. Welfare activities influence the sentiments of the workers. When the workers feel that the employers and the state are interested in their happiness, his tendency to grouse and grumble will steadily disappear. The development of such a feeling, paves the way for industrial peace.
Mainly, the provisions welfare measures such as good housing, canteen, medical etc. makes them realize that they have also some stake in the undertaking in which are engaged and so they think thrice before taking any reckless actions which might prejudice the interest of the undertaking.
Welfare measures such as cheap food in canteen, free medical and education facilities etc. indirectly the real income of the workers. If workers go on strike they will be deprived of all these facilities. Hence, they try to avoid industrial dispute as far as possible and do not go on strike on flimsy grounds.
Welfare activities will reduce lab our turnover and absenteeism and create permanent settled lab our force by making service attraction to the lab our. Welfare activities will go on long way to better the mental and moral health of the workers by reducing the incidence of industrialization . Lab our welfare measures develop congenial environment, and builds a good atmosphere between the lab our and the management.
Lab our welfare creates positive work culture, builds team work to meet the challenges of the organization and increase efficiency for the workers whereby the productivity will increase.
Skilled workers are the assets of an organization. Lab our welfare helps to retain the skilled workers and builds loyalty and sense of belongingness among them.
Employees attitudes and appreciation towards the organization, will progress the unit. Good relation can be achieved through labour welfare. This will strengthen the organization manifold. Labour welfare is one of the way in which the labour problems are solved. Labour welfare act as a main spring for the success of an organization. Labour welfare provides economic security to employees. Amenities such as pension, provident fund, insurance etc. will increase the sense of security in them and promote employment stabilization. Above all labour welfare helps the organization from heavy tax-burden, and to meet legal requirements.

CAPTER-IV RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Definition: For the present study descriptive research is adopted. A descriptive research is one, which portrays accurately the characteristics of a particular group, situation, or individual ( with or without specific initial hypothesis about the nature of their characteristics)
The method of random sampling has been adopted for the purpose of getting the required sample frame and this has been done by selecting staff and workers of various department in a random manner. So that the data collected will bring out the varied opinions with regard to employee satisfaction at Pondicherry Co-operative Sugar Mills Ltd.
Data sources
Different kinds of internal sources like employees, human resources information’s company profile and brochures had helped as to collect internal data. External sources had helped a lot like magazines like business today, business world, newspapers like business line, the economic times and subject books like human resources management, personnel management, organizational behavior, research methodology -primary data has been collected through questionnaire -Secondary data collected in the form of internal sources and external sources. Inter sources-company profile employees. External sources-news paper, magazines business today etc.
Research approach:
The survey approach was used to administer the questionnaire to the target respondents. The respondents were contacted through personal interview method. The responses were filled by the interviewer in some cases through face to face method while in some cases interviewee themselves filled the survey form.
Research instrument:
A structured questionnaire has been of closed ended questions & employee perception ratings. Some times questionnaire was distributed to staff & employees and some times it was used as a schedule and data was collected by us.
Sampling plan:
-sample size 75 respondents -sample unit- technicians, operation, shift engineers, chemists of various departments, supervisors, stores assistant and securities pondicherry co-op sugar mills.
Statistical tools:
For this study I have used percentage analysis, correlation & weighted average method, graphical representation of data using Bar charts. Percent analysis: In this project percentage method test is used. It can be calculated in the following way. Percentage of respondents=No. of respondents total no. of respondent * 100 Weighted average method Weighted average can be defined as an average whose components aggregate of the products are divided by the total of weights. One of the imitations of simple arithmetic mean is that it gives equal importance to all the items of the distribution. In certain cases relative importance of all the items in the distribution is not the same where the importance of the items varies. It is essential to allocate weight applied but may vary in
/
different cases. Thus weight age is a number standing for the relative importance of items.
CORRELATION
In probability theory and statistics, correlation, also called correlation co-efficient, indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. In general statistical as age correlation (or) co-relation to the departure of two variables. Formula R=?XY /??X2.Y2
