Anmol Publications Pvt. Ltd., 2000. Hardcover. New. It is common to trace the history of social welfare in India by tracing the growth of social reform movements rather than analyzing the different stages of development of social policy per se. Few have attempted to analyse the development of social norms and values which provided the framework for the definition of needs such as an opportunity to work, health, education, shelter and leisure to be made available to each member of the society on the one hand and on the other the ways in which this would be operationalised. Labour welfare is an extension of the term welfare and its application to labour. It is truism that labour occupies an important position in every society, but its import has not always received the requisite accredition. If we study the labour welfare services as organized by industry and talk to the personnel responsible for their maintenance, we note quite contradictory positions. In India, labour welfare started in its broader meaning, but has gradually become narrower in its outlook. This phenomenon has been universal. However, demand of literature is scanty. This work is an attempt to bring together relevant, authentic and useful literature on the subject. Substantially derived from authoritative sources this is organized in the following three volumes: . Dynamics of Social Welfare . Dynamics of Social Welfare . Dynamics of Labour Welfare Printed Pages: 998.
