SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT:
Sustained and meticulous efforts continue to be exercised by the
Company at all plants of the Company, towards greener production and
environment conservation. The Company perseveres in its efforts to
indoctrinate safe and environmentally accountable behavior in every
employee, as well as vendors, by rigid compulsory annual training and
refresher courses, as well as frequent awareness programme. Mock drills
of emergency preparedness are regularly conducted at all the plants
showing Company''s commitment towards safety, not only of its own men
and plants, but also of the society at large.
Safety records, at all plants showed considerable improvement and
accident statistics showed downward trend. This was made possible by
strict adherence to laid down procedures and following of international
guidelines. Involvement of workers in all safety matters has been
encouraged by their participation in shop floor safety meetings. To
achieve the goals, environment protection systems and processes are
well in place. To meet the challenge of environment protection in a
proactive manner, unavoidable wastes are dealt with in the most
efficient and scientific way.
The health of employees and the environment in and around the Plant
area have been given due care and attention. The Company continued to
comply with the prescribed industrial safety environment protection and
pollution control regulation at its production plant, through periodic
checks of the system involved and constant monitoring to meet the
standards set by the pollution control authorities, etc.
All the mills of the Company are eco-friendly and do not generate any
harmful effluents. They have facilities for captive power generation as
a stand-by arrangement, to meet any contingency. Safety devices have
been installed wherever necessary, although both the spinning and
knitting activities are known to be quite safe and free from usual
hazards of water and air pollution.
INDUSTRIAL REALATIONS & HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT:
The Company is of firm belief that good Human Resource Management would
ensure success through high performance. HR strategy and plans of the
Company are deeply embedded with the organizational goals. In order to
enhance the manpower productivity the goal is set to increase the
production capacity of the various plants and rationalize the manpower
through scientific study. All the operational goals of the top
management emanate from the business plan. The goals of MD are shared
with his subordinates who in turn share their goal with their
respective subordinates and so on. Regular visits by HR team are being
made to all the plants to meet the employees and also interaction
meetings are conducted to get their feed back, based on which HR
policies are improved continuously. The process has resulted in better
employee relationship.
The Company lays due emphasis on all round development of its human
resource. Hence training of the employees is aimed at systematic
development of knowledge, skills, aptitude and team work. Training is
designed for the development of personal skills necessary for the
performance of the present job and to prepare them for future growth.
