UGC NET Labour Welfare

Welcome

Few subjects sit at the intersection of management, law, economics and social policy as squarely as Labour Welfare, Personnel Management, Industrial Relations and HRM (UGC-NET Subject Code 55). From the shop floor to the boardroom, from minimum-wage statutes to employee well-being, the discipline shapes how Indian organisations recruit, reward, protect and grow their people.

This book moves through every unit of the official UGC-NET syllabus: principles and practices of management; human resource management; human resource development and international HRM; organisational behaviour; industrial relations and trade unions; industrial disputes; labour legislation (Factories Act, Mines Act, Contract Labour, Child Labour and other key statutes); wages and wage legislation (Minimum Wages, Bonus, Gratuity, Provident Fund); labour welfare and social security; and the Indian labour market. Each unit blends conceptual grounding with the statutory detail the examination expects.

Whether you are preparing for the UGC-NET, JRF, SET, or a postgraduate programme in HR, IR or Social Work, this book offers a structured pathway through the discipline — built to help candidates pass the examination and equip them for the real work of looking after people in Indian organisations.
