From time immemorial, a constant struggle has been going on between labour and capital. In fact, the history of labour struggle is nothing but a continuous demand for a fair return to labour expressed in different forms, e.g., (a) increase in wages, (b) resistance to decrease in wages, (c) grant of allowances and other benefits. Labour is necessarily dynamic and has been interpreted in different ways from country to country depending upon time to time and even in the same country according to social institutions, degree of industrialisation and general level of social and economic development. Labour welfare constitutes the provision of service facilities and amenities as it helps in creating a healthy and congenial environment. The Government of India evinced interest in the welfare programmes introduced for labour in their ordinance, ammunition and other factories engaged in production.
