HI
I Think NGOs have limited scope in labour welfar where as in any manufacturing industry u can find lot of scope for labour welfare because the company itself is the responsible for the labour who are working with them. NGOs have lot of scope in child welfare, women welfare, welfare of disability etc.

Hi,
In my personal opinion, NGOs can help, though we must understand that their canvas is quite wide and priorities could be different.
However in urban and semi-urban industrialized centres a healthy collaboration between the industry and the NGO can be very useful to the workers and their families.
Some of the common areas are health & hygeine, childcare, adult literacy, women's groups for income generation, deaddiction counseling centres etc.
Frankly there is every reason for every employer to take up such areas for useful work, but often the relationships at work affect such work as it may lack credibility e.g. if a company official visits a sick employee, the pouplar feeling amongst the workers is that the employers are checking out!!! There is a justified basis for such perception as these activities are rarely undertaken regularly and hardly, if at all, any concrete help is extended.
Even if the factories Act has an entire chapter on"welfare", not much is done outside the compulsions of law.
So, if an employer genuinely wishes to take up welfare work for its employees, it would be eminently wise to identify areas, allocate specific budgets and then choose credible, competent NGO and entrust the job to them though one must know that one cannot contract out of law and outsource the whole lot of work!!!
Kindly see this as another view point!
