The beedi manufacturing is a traditional
agro-forest based industry in India, highly labour intensive and predominantly
unorganized. The beedi industry is one
of the largest employers of workers in India, after agriculture, handloom and
construction. However, the estimates of
the numbers of beedi workers engaged in this industry vary depending on who is
making the estimates. The beedi rolling is generally done by poor households in
backward areas where the workers have usually no other means of sustainable
employment. Although beedi rolling began
in the factory sector, over the last three decades, the beedi manufacturers
have increasingly shifted the work from factories into the household. Currently, about 10% of the beedi
manufacturing takes place in the organized factory sector. Beedi industry is completely dominated by the
manual work where there is an involvement of 90% women who are either
illiterates or semi- literates and have no bargaining power this leads to good
chance of exploitation. The basic
objective of this research paper is to assess the situations prevailing in the
beedi industry especially with regard to human resources from their selection
to retirement. And all welfare
measures/provisions available to them.
