Labour Investigation Committee Government of India Report on Labour Conditions in Potteries

1945

The guiding principle in the 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 cf the ecuntry. [...] Before the commencement of field work all the Supervisors (with the exception of those working in Bengal) were called to the Committee's headquarters at Simla and given detailed instructions on the technique and scope of the enquiries to be conducted by them the manner in which they were to submit their data and the centres and units which they were to investigate. [...] This departure from the usual procedure of the Comittee is a whole dealing with the work was necessary in view of the immensity of the task and the necessity of maintaining an all-India perspective. [...] Of late there has been an increase in the number of piecworkers in the industry and as their earnings are generally higher than those of the timers in the same category it is possible that the number in the former category may increase still more in future. [...] The examination of the wage registers also substantiated the statement but one curious thing is that there is no uniformity in the payment of this alloance even for the workers in the same occupation and earning the same rate of.wages.
