    PART I: ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSIS AND UNDERSTANDING:

    I. THE ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF COMPANY:

    ORGANIZATIONS PROFILE:

    LANCO Infratech Limited is one of Indias rapidly emerging business

    entities. For the last two and a half decades it has been driving growth in the

    domains of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), Power, Solar,

    Natural Resources, Infrastructure and Property Development. Its continuous

    focus on innovation and expansion together with its commitment to quality

    and excellence has contributed significantly to the progress that the company

    has made over a short span of time. The 25-year-old group is, today, uniquely

    poised to attain leadership position in its areas of operation.

    The key positions in the company are held by:

    L Rajagopal is the Founder Chairman of LANCO Group of Companies.

    L Madhusudhan Rao is the Executive Chairman of LANCO Infratech Ltd. G Bhaskara Rao is the Executive Vice Chiarman of LANCO Infratech Ltd.

    ORGANIZATIONS HISTORY:

    1960-76:The Seeds of Enterprise:

    In 1960, brothers Amarappa Naidu, Venkata Rama Naidu and Venkata

    Ratnam Naidu laid the foundation of LANCO by starting a transport business

    with one truck (a converted bus) inherited from their father L.V. Subba Naidu.

    Amarappa Naidu's business acumen and the brothers' commitment soon led to

    orders pouring in from construction companies that needed material to be

    transported to and from construction sites. By 1976, the thriving business

    boasted of a fleet of 100 trucks that serviced the construction industry in

    Andhra Pradesh.

    5 |P a g e

    1977-85: Building the Foundation:

    Having succeeded beyond imagination, the Naidu brothers planned to

    enter the construction business themselves. In 1980, Uma Maheshwar Rao and

    Company was established and soon made a name for itself in the construction

    industry by delivering several prestigious turnkey projects in Andhra Pradesh

    and Karnataka. By 1980, the company's assets included 150 trucks, eight

    excavators, 10 bulldozers and 15 drilling machines. In 1985, L.V. Rama Naidu's

    son, L. Rajagopal, a mechanical engineer, was inducted into the company.

    1986-90: Overcoming Adversity:

    In 1986, when the company went through some tough circumstances, L.

    Rajgopal's resolve to succeed even got firmer. He acquired a new construction

    firm, S.V. Contractors, in partnership with his brother-in-law, G. Bhaskara Rao,

    also an engineer. The first year of operation saw a profit of Rs. 1crore; by 1990

    the company's annual turnover was Rs. 25 crore.

    1991-94: Seizing Opportunities:Taking advantage of the new opportunities offered by the liberalization

    of the Indian economy, L. Rajagopal diversified from construction business to

    manufacturing by setting up a pig iron plant of 90,000 tpa. He took inspiration

    from his uncle Lagadapati Amarappa Naidu and named this new business as

    LANCO Ferro. LANCO is an acronym for Lagadapati Amarappa Naidu and

    Company and is tribute to his vision and ideals. In 1991, L. Rajagopal inducted

    his younger brother, L. Madhusudhan Rao, to manage the business at LANCO

    Ferro, which was renamed as LANCO Industries in 1993. L. Madhusudhan Rao

    launched several ambitious initiatives and expanded LANCO Ferro into a fully-

    integrated plant producing cement, ductile iron pipes and pig iron.

    1995-1999: Diversifying to Grow:

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    6/50

    6 |P a g e

    Diversification through joint venture partnerships became the key word

    at LANCO as the organization embarked on an aggressive growth path. In 1995,

    the Andhra Pradesh government opened the power sector to private players.

    LANCO entered the power sector against a power purchase agreement with

    the state government with a 368 MW gas power plant in Kondapalli,

    commissioned in 2000. Kondapalli Power Ltd. (LKPL), a joint venture between

    LANCO and the Genting Group of Malaysia marked a major milestone in the

    organizations growth as an independent power producer.

    2000-05: A New Century, a New Vision:

    In 2002, L. Rajagopal retired from the business to pursue public life, and

    L. Madhusudhan Rao took over as the Chairman of the organization. This was a

    period of change and reorganization, as LANCO prepared itself to meet the

    challenges of a new century. LANCO also consolidated its position in the power

    sector by commissioning several large projects, winning bids for several others,

    and winning a range of business and industry awards and prestigiousrecognition forums.

    2005-10: Poised for Industry Leadership:

    LANCO Infratech Limited, a new holding corporate entity, was created in

    2006 to consolidate diverse operations under a single brand. LANCO decided to

    focus on its core business: energy and construction and enter the

    infrastructure and property development sectors. Simultaneously, LANCO

    embarked on Vision 2020, an ambitious growth plan primarily in the sectors of

    power, solar energy, EPC and natural resources. By 2015, it plans to achieve a

    capacity of 15,000 MW in the power sector and also become one of the

    country's major developers in solar energy.

    LANCO BUDHIL HYDRO ELECTRIC PRJECT (70 MW) AT BHARMOUR:

    AN INTRODUCTION:

    LANCO Budhil Hydro Electric Power Project is under construction on

    Budhil River, which is one of the main tributary of river Ravi. The Project

    catchment is between: In tehsil Bharmour, District Chamba of Himachal

    Pradesh. It has two sites:

    1. Dam and Office Site (In Village Thala)2. Powerhouse site (In Kharamukh)

    The Diversion Dam is located near the village Thalla on Chamba- Chobia

    road (near about 9 Km from Bharmour) and the underground Powerhouse is

    located on the upstream of Budhil confluence point with the river Ravi at

    Kharamukh.

    Capacity: 70 MW (2 x 35 MW): It has two turbines with a capacity of producing35 MW of electricity each per day

    River: It is built upon river Budhil (a Major tributary of river Ravi, confluence atKharamukh)

    Budget: Rs. 550 Crores is the amount invested on the project BOT Basis: 40 years: Project is on the Built Operate and Transfer basis i.e. it will

    be constructed by LANCO and on its completion time which is 5 years from the

    date of Contract (since 2005), it will be further harnessed by the company for

    the next 40 years and then handed over to the HP government.

    OFFICE SITE:

    Office Site is located village Thala of Tehsil Bharmour of Disrict Chamba

    HP. It has Administration, HR & Liaison Department, Finance and Accounts

    Department, Billing, Planning and Store Department etc.

    DAM SITE:

    Dam Site is located village Thala of Tehsil Bharmour of Disrict Chamba

    HP. The height of the dam is 61 m and its length is 64 m. It has 3 gates each of

    dimension 6.5 m X 10.5 m. Dam feeds two Feeder Canals which supply the

    water to De Silting Chamber where Silt is settled (as these are deeper than the

    feeder canals). Later it leads to HRT i.e. Head Race Tunnel.

    The Dam is built upon Budhil nullah which is one of the major tributary

    of River Ravi. This is a newly built dam, though is functional now but still as the

    Powerhouse is under construction so water is not stored upto required level till

    now. It will store the water of the Budhil nullah and feed two feeder canals

    with it which will send the water through Head Race Tunnel (HRT) to thepowerhouse so as to rotate turbine for Power generation.

    TUNNEL:

    Tunnel connects Dam with the Powerhouse. It consists of 2 Feeder

    Canals, 2 De Silting Chambers, 1 Pressure Shaft through which water fell 80 m

    deep to produce enough pressure to rotate the turbines. Feeder Canals are fed

    with the water of the Dam. They carry the water to the to the De- silting

    chambers. In de-silting chamber, as the name suggests, the silt is settled down

    to purify the water. As this silt can cause the harm to the turbine so it is

    essential to purify the water before it reaches the turbines. This de- silting

    chamber is actually a tunnel more deeper than the feeder canal so that water

    when enter into these de- silting chamber make silt settle down and the pure

    which is above flow freely to the Head race Tunnel, which is again having the

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    9/50

    9 |P a g e

    diameter equal to that of feeders canal. This Head Race Tunnel further carries

    water to the rest of the distance and ends in the Pressure Shaft. This Pressure

    Shaft is a few meters away from the Powerhouse where Turbines are located.

    It is 80m deep so the water flow with a great pressure in it enough to rotate

    the Turbines and generate target electricity which is set upto minimum 70 MW

    in a day.

    POWERHOUSE SITE:

    Powerhouse is actually Underground and having Dimensions of 14.5 m X

    43 m. Its location is at the right bank of river Ravi at Kharamukh. It has two

    Vertical shaft Turbines driven to generate per day units of 35 MW each (2 X 35

    = 70 MW). Its Access Tunnel is 305 m long and 7 m high. It is D shaped. It

    houses Transformer and Control Room also. Its construction adit is at the top

    of the Powerhouse and it serves as Ventilation Tunnel also.

    TRANSMISSION LINE:

    The Transmission Line is 18 Km long and it is fed into Chamera- III GridSub- station of NHPC Ltd. It has 60 Towers at the gap of 300 m each. LANCO

    Budhil Hydro Electric project Transmission line stretches only upto this. After

    this the Generated power of LANCO Budhil Hydro Electric Project is carried on

    by the Transmission lines of Chamera- III Transmission lines which is situated in

    Dharwala, Distt. Chamba. It further propagates power to the Power Grid India

    Ltd. Sub station at Chamba from where Power Grid India Ltd. distributes the

    energy to various areas according to its demand. It is noteworthy here that the

    calculation of units produced by LANCO Budhil Hydro Electric Project is done

    by the Power Grid India Ltd. only. It note down the Power provided to it by

    LANCO Budhil Hydro Electric Power Project with the help of a meter installed

    for the calculation of Power provided by the above said.

    SOLAR POWER:

    To realize its vision of providing sustainable, innovative and cost-

    effective solutions to India's ever increasing energy needs, is focused on

    commercializing alternate technologies for green and efficient energy

    generation systems such as solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV). The

    group is working towards realizing its goal of indigenizing these technologies

    with the aim to reduce costs and achieve grid parity.

    LANCOs integrated Sand to Power strategy is best positioned to turn

    India's solar dream into a reality. LANCO is the first Indian organization to

    effectively integrate the entire solar value chain, with a presence in sectors

    such as Polysilicon to Wafer to Module Manufacturing as well as project

    development, turnkey EPC and O&M services. With its strong focus on a

    synergetic strategy and high end technology, LANCO targets to make solar

    energy affordable by every person in the country in the near future.

    Solar currently has one of the largest solar power project pipelines inthe country and a project pipeline of more than 300 MW of power globally. It

    has aggressive plans to execute 500 MW of EPC projects, 400 MW of its own

    projects and 250 MW of manufacturing a year by 2013, and to emerge as a

    leading developer and turnkey EPC service provider in the country and globally.

    To facilitate its aggressive growth strategy, the company operates from 10

    states in India and seven countries globally.

    NATURAL RESOURCES:

    With the acquisition of the Australian Griffin mines and the successful

    bid to develop the Mahatamil coal block in Chhattisgarh, LANCO has added

    over 2 billion tonnes of coal resources to its business portfolio. This strategic

    move will allow the organization to provide fuel security (India will have a gap

    of over 200 million tonnes by 2015) and to participate in the burgeoning coal

    trading market. The Griffin mines alone are expected to produce over 20

    million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by 2015, helping LANCO to import 15 mtpa of

    thermal coal.

    LANCO has thus joined the exclusive league of mine operators in India

    and is looking to capitalize on this advantage by monetizing opportunities

    arising in other natural resources in the country.

    The LANCO Resources division comprises the following verticals:

    Coal Mining:

    V. SWOT ANALYSIS OF LANCO BUDHIL HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT:

    STRENGTHS:

    Providing employment to the locals help gaining their trust. Providing employees with better transportation to make them comfortably

    reach at work site.

    CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility): making roads, providing trainings etc. Being a construction company is itself an added advantage for LANCO.

    WEAKNEESES:

    Not having a strong recognition yet. Salary is less as compare to others (e.g. Costal Project and NHPC, Chamba) Long distance between Dam and Powerhouse site (17 Km). HR practices are not very strong, Employee absenteeism is there. Not a big infrastructure like NHPC.

    OPPRTUNITIES:

    Stable enough to take the bid of other projects at this area. Will sale energy generated by the project for next 40 years (under BOT basis). Once the construction work will be over very few employees would be

    required (cut CTC).

    THREATS:

    Climatic conditions could affect power generation to a great level. Problems related to environmental code violation. Site is in the Seismic Zone V (Earthquakes are often, high risk area). Labour Unions supported by CITU (politics and strikes affects the work).

    PART II: PROJECT WORK:

    VI. INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC CHOSEN FOR STUDY:

    Absenteeism refers to unauthorized absence of the worker from his job.

    Absenteeism can be defined as failure of employees to report for work when

    they are scheduled to work.

    In India, the problem of absenteeism is greater than other countries.

    When the employee takes time off, on a scheduled working day with

    permission, it is authorized absence. When he remains absent without

    permission or informing, it is wilful absence without leave. In these days, when

    the needs of the country require greater emphasis upon increase of

    productivity and the economic and rational utilization of time and materials at

    our disposal, it is necessary to minimize absenteeism to the maximum possible

    extent.

    Recent surveys indicate the following trends in absenteeism:1. The higher the rate of pay and the greater the length of service of the

    employee, the fewer the absences.

    2. As an organization grows, there is a tendency towards higher rates of

    absenteeism.

    3. Single employees are absent more frequently than married employees.

    4. Younger employees are absent more frequently than older employees but

    the latter are absent for longer periods of time.

    5. Unionized organizations have higher absenteeism rates than non-union

    organizations.

    The rate of absenteeism can be calculated by considering the number of

    persons scheduled to work and the number actually present. Thus, the rate of

    absenteeism can be estimated in the following way:

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    30/50

    30 |P a g e

    Rate of Absenteeism = No. of Total Manshifts Lost X 100

    No. of Total Manshifts scheduled to work

    CAUSES:

    Important factors leading to absenteeism can be summarized as follows:

    1. Long hours of work.

    2. Bad working conditions.

    3. Boredom.

    4. Lack of co-operation and understanding between management and workers.

    5. Sickness.

    6. Accidents.

    7. Occupational disease.

    8. Problem of transport facilities.

    9. Low wages.

    10. Lack of proper medical aid and health programmes.11. Lack of canteen services, rest rooms, etc.

    12. Bad housing conditions.

    13. Evil of drinking.

    14. Lack of marketing facilities.

    15. Social or religious festivals.

    16. Harvest seasons.

    17. Marriages.

    18. Education of children.

    19. Domestic problems and consequent worries, etc.

    Among these causes, in the existing Indian conditions, wage level in

    industries, has a direct bearing on absenteeism. Sickness on account of bad

    housing conditions contributes highest to industrial absenteeism. Social and

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    31/50

    31 |P a g e

    religious causes can be accounted as the second important contributing factor

    forabsenteeism. Absenteeism in industry varies from place to place, depending

    on thefestival, marriage, harvest season and other factors.

    EFFECTS :

    Absenteeism is one of the root causes of labour unrest. It affects the

    workers earnings as well as the company in the following manner:

    1.Decrease in Productivity:

    Employees may be carrying an extra workload or supporting new or

    replacement staff. Employees may be required to train and orient new or

    replacement workers. Staff morale and employee service may suffer.

    2. Financial Costs Payment of overtime may result:

    Cost of self-insured income protection plans must be borne plus the

    wage costs of replacement employees. Premium costs may rise for insured

    plans.3. Administrative Costs :

    Staff time is required to secure replacement employees or to reassign

    the remaining employees. Staff time is required to maintain and control

    absenteeism.

    The definition of absenteeism, its causes, its affects on productivity, and

    its costs in terms of finances and administrative effectiveness are quite clear.

    What is not as clear is how to take affirmative action to control absenteeism in

    such a way as not to create mistrust, costly administration and systems

    avoidance.

    Traditional methods of absenteeism control based only on disciplinary

    procedures have proven to be ineffective. It is almost impossible to create a

    fair disciplinary procedure because even well run disciplinary systems, which

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    32/50

    32 |P a g e

    treat similar actions in consistently similar ways, are usually seen as unfair. The

    reason for this is discipline alone usually does not identify or address the root

    causes of absenteeism. Every employee who takes time off in defiance of

    company regulations has reasons, right or wrong, which justify to themselves

    the legitimacy of their actions.

    Unless a management attendance program identifies and addresses the

    causes of employee absenteeism it will be ineffective and unfair. Traditional

    disciplinary programs alone can, at best, give the illusion of control. It is no

    secret that there are ways to beat even the best systems. The fear of discipline

    often only increases the desire to avoid management systems.

    If absenteeism is to be controlled, the physical and emotional needs of

    employees must be addressed. Incentives can be introduced to discourage

    absenteeism. Attendance bonus is awarded in certain establishments, merit

    increases and promotions are linked to minimum attendance. Good leave

    record of the employee is an important factor in considering him for moreresponsible positions. These incentives, no doubt, will be effective

    inducements for regular attendance and work which, in turn, will ensure

    efficient service. Habitual absenteeism must be treated as a misconduct and it

    must be stated that habitual absentees are liable for disciplinary action.

    India, and in particular Himachal Pradesh has a great potential for Hydro

    Electric Power generation. Hydro Electric Power is the energy generated by

    water through a proper procedure of making water fall on the Turbines with a

    great pressure to rotate them in order to produce high energy. The laws of

    physics are applicable to these procedures as the water falling with a great

    pressure on the turbines to make them rotate and change Potential energy

    into Electrical energy. The electrical energy thus produced is commercially

    used as Electric Power and which is an essential part of the human life in

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    33/50

    33 |P a g e

    todays world. It is evident from a Power failure that what is the importance of

    electricity in our lives. But, the biggest problem here is that this electrical

    energy is non renewable. It once consumed changes into other form of

    energies and cannot be recovered. So there is continuous demand to generate

    this energy.

    Himachal Pradesh government is keen on this situation and it has known

    the potential of this land of Gods of harnessing its water resources to generate

    Hydro Electric power. Also these Power generation projects are one of the

    biggest resources of revenue for the state government. It also helps the State

    government to provide many employment opportunities to the people of the

    state in their own home land. But, working at Hydro Electric Power Projects is

    not an easy task. It is a challenge of its own kind in itself. These sites are

    generally away from town and working conditions are generally not according

    to the wishes of the employees. It often results in absenteeism of employees,

    increases dissatisfaction regarding job among them which leads to the higherattrition rate. So it was important to conduct a survey regarding Absenteeism

    of employees, to find their reasons and suggest remedial measures to ensure

    maximum attendance.

    VII. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND PROBLEM FORMULATION:

    PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION:

    As per discussed in the previous chapter that working in the hydro

    power projects is itself a challenge of its own kind, and there are certain

    problems which the employee faces and these problems should be thus of

    utmost care to be taken of and the onus of it lies on the shoulders of HR

    department. One of such problem is the growing absenteeism among

    employees in the working sites and offices of the hydro electric plants. For this

    an effort is being made to know the reasons regarding absenteeism among

    employees of LANCO Bhudil Hydro Electric Plant and to provide some

    suggestions to the management so as to help them to take some remedial

    decisions and ensure maximum of attendance at the workplace.

    PROBLEM FORMULATION:

    The title of the problem is: Absenteeism: Cause, Effect and Control in LANCOBudhil Hydro Electric Project (70MW) at Bharmour

    OBLECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

    The objectives of the project are:

    To understand and analyze:

    1. What are the main causes of absenteeism in LANCO BHEP, Bharmour?

    2. What are the effects of the unauthorized absenteeism by the employees in

    the company?

    3. What are the current disciplinary actions taken by the HR department for

    reducing absenteeism?

    4. What is the attitude of employees towards these disciplinary actions?

    5. What factors are to be considered in order to reduce absenteeism?

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    35 |P a g e

    6. What suggestions can be given to the management to improve the regular

    attendance of the employees in the company?

    Thus, the above objectives have been observed and analyzed in a

    detailed manner in this project report. I have made an attempt to go into root

    causes of the subject by using the various techniques of Research

    Methodology.

    VIII. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

    A project is like a journey and it is always better to have atleast the

    faintest of ideas of the probable direction of our destination. Initially we have

    to decide upon the general area of interest or the aspect of the subject to

    inquire into. This decision is rather broad and not very precise. It is crude

    indication of the purpose of the study and is of little help for further planning

    and organization of the study.

    Research Methodology is defined as a more systematic activity directed

    towards discovery and the development of an organized body of knowledge.

    An efficient research contributes to the evaluation of a proper decision, which

    ultimately affects the path the organization will choose. The data collected is of

    paramount importance and hence the research process has to be effective and

    an efficient one.

    Research Methodology involves adopting various techniques which are

    best suited for the research and study of the problem, for investigation andanalysis of the problem. It starts with data collection from various sources i.e.,

    primary and secondary sources, data analysis and interpretation and finally the

    findings or conclusion from the analysis.

    In this project, Primary data was collected by Questionnaire Survey. The

    workmen selected for the interview purpose were the employees of LANCO

    BHEP, Bharmour. A random selection of samples from the workmen segment

    was done in the company. There are 190 employees in the company. From

    them respondents were selected randomly as sample to avoid any bias. Thus,

    25 workmen were selected for survey through the questionnaires prepared.

    This helped to be fair to all by not keeping in view the past record of

    absenteeism of individuals.

    The secondary data was collected from:

  • 7/28/2019 Absentism Project

    37/50

    37 |P a g e

    Monthly absenteeism data.

    Yearly absenteeism report.

    Leave records of employees.

    After the collection of data, the response of the 25 individuals were

    arranged in a chronological pattern and then evaluated. Many inferences could

    be drawn from both the primary as well as secondary data available which are

    put forth in the analysis section.

    It is often beneficial to undertake an intensive study of a few well

    selected instances of the phenomenon of interest. The method demands for

    great sensitivity and receptivity on our part. As new information pours in, the

    study is reformulated and redirected. Hence, to be on the safer side, it would

    always be wise to work keeping a particular method in mind.

    RESEARCH AREA:

    Research setting was to be chosen according to the relevance ofresearch topic. So, the two main sites of the LANCO Budhil Hydro Electric

    Project, 70 MW (i.e. - Office site including Dam site and Powerhouse site at

    village Thala and Kharamukh of Tehsil Bharmour, Distt. Chamba of H.P.

    respectively) were chosen to collect the data for the research project.
