| Abstract: | At the dawn of industrialization “Labour” as a concept was considered a mere factor of production along with land and capital. No thoughts were devoted legally or socially for the protection of the workman who contributed his manual, mental, work for production. History is witness to the fact that the first ever “demand” that was put forth by the working community was “just and humane” condition of work and not wages. Labours, all over the country plays a considerable role in a planned economy as it is recognised as an important source of production, their protection against risks of want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness are utmost important. Due to Industrialization, Urbanization and Privatization it lost its significance. The workers’ rights were exploited thus social security was utmost in demand to protect their interest. It is based on the social justice, social equity and human dignity. Legislation, therefore, becomes an instrument of social and economic justice and attempts to secure it. The right of the workers is also protected under the constitution of India and other labour legislation. Employee’s Compensation Act 1923 is completely employers’ liability where the workers contribution is none and at state level Compensation Commissioners are appointed to execute the Act . The ESI 1948 is a social insurance and in this both medical and cash benefits are provided by corporation to the workers. EPF and Gratuity are paramount Social security legislation protecting aged people. The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 is especially designed to protect the interest of the women workers. It provides them security at the time of pregnancy for the workers it provides them security at the time of pregnancy and delivery . Social security is a subject of concurrent list so the Central Government constituted enactments for the workers and the state government bears the responsibility of their effective enforcement through Labour Department. India, being a welfare state, has taken upon itself the responsibilities of extending various benefits of Social security and social Assistance to its citizens. The social security legislation in India derives their strength and spirit from the Directive Principles of the State Policy as contained in the Constitution of India. The goal of a welfare state can be achieved only by improving the living, working conditions and guarding people against the uncertainties of the future. These measures are also important for every industrialization plan, because these measures not only enable workers to become more efficient, but also reduce industrial disputes. The man-days lost on account of sickness and disability also constitute a heavy drain on the slender resources of the worker as well as on the industrial output of the country. Lack of social security hinders production and prevents the formation of a stable and efficient Labour force. Social security is, therefore, not a liability, but a wise investment, which yields good dividends in the long run. The social security provides protection to working class against contingencies like retirement, illness, maternity, aging, death, disablement and similar conditions. There are numerous legislations that ensure social security that have been active since 1880 during British era. Feeling of security enhances employee’s efforts to develop them for future work. In the above context this paper attempts to analyze the evolution and development of the concept of “social security” in Organized sector in India. |
