Labour Investigation Committee Government of India. Report on an enquiry into conditions of Labour in the Manganese Mining Industry in India

1946

The guiding principle in ma selection of centres of survey was to make the survey regionally representative so as to discover differences in the conditions of labour in the same industry in different parts of the country. [...] This departure from the usual procedure of the Committee as a whole dealing with the work was necessary in view of the uii;ensity of the task and the necessity of maintaining an all-India perspective. [...] The beginning of the manganese industry in India dates back to the closing years of the last century and mining was first undertaken in the Vizagapatam district of the Madras Presidency in 1892. [...] Judged either by the number of workers employed or value of the annual production the manganese industry is the most important mineral industry of the Province which contains some of the finest ore deposits in the world. [...] In considering the relationship between the rate paid to contractor and the rate paid to the miner it is necessary to allow for the contractor's recruiting expenses overhead charges issue of free tools and explosives to the miners and losses out of the money loaned to the workers.
