ANALYSIS OF WELFARE

ACTIVITIES IN

RAJASTHAN STATE

MINES AND

MINERALS LTD.

(R.S.M.M.L)

PREFACE

Human beings are a resource to an organization. Like any other material

on economic resources, they represent an investment whose development and

utilization require managing.

In every organization, human resources are a pivotal variable without

which the inanimate assets are worthless. Human resources need to be

understood in their proper prospective and utilized effectively to achieve the

goals of an organization. This requires that the human resources must be

managed effectively with and through people.

The management of human resource is a very complicated and

challenging task for those who are entrusted with the successful running of an

organization and this implies considerable knowledge of various aspects of

HRD. The discipline of HRD has gained importance since professionalisation

of management is now regarded as a must for the successful running of a

business or industrial enterprise.

So, executives should not only have thorough grounding in the various

aspects or handling human resources through proper education and training but

should also keep themselves abreast of the changes and trends that take place in

their discipline.

The importance of HRD is increasingly realized in industrial and non-

industrial organization in both India and abroad. The growing importance of

HRD is reflected both in specialization in the filed of personnel management as

well as in the eagerness and willingness of line people to share responsibility

for many personnel functions.

Now, organization have realized that human resources are more valuable

than other resources and their proper management can tremendously help the

organization to maximize the utilization of other resource. Thus HRD tries to

improve morale by giving adequate training to workers and by achieving for

itself knowledge of human nature. In brief, we can say that HRD effectively

describes the process of planning and directing the application and utilization

of human resource in development.

CHAPTER-1

COMPANY PROFILE

Rajasthan State Mines and Mineral Ltd. (A Premier Mining Enterprise of Rajasthan)

Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Ltd. (RSMML), move the earth the

technology. Harnessing it to excavate the finest minerals from beneath the

surface. RSMML is one of the premier Public Sector Enterprises of

Government of Rajasthan. It was instituted in 1973. It is the successor of the

erstwhile M/S Bikaner in 1947. Till 1992, the company operated under

protected conditions with high demand of the product but with government

decanalising import and decontrolling the prices of phosphatic fertilizers, the

demand shrunk. Moreover, a global recession made dumping in India very

attractive. Prices plummeted, off take was low and for RSMML, the worst-case

scenario had arrived. Only concentrated all round efforts could save the

company.

New corporate strategies were framed.

Costs were reduced.

Quality was improved to world standards.

Production processes were streamlined.

Marketing and personal conditions with the end users were set.

Stringent quality control produced remarkable results and production

went up three fold, market share was four times that in 1992 and long-term

relation with customers emerged.

Later, Central Government felt that it is essential in the public interest

that Rajasthan State Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. (RSMDC), a

Government company incorporated under the Companies’ Act, 1956 should be

amalgamated with RSMML, a Government company incorporated under the

Companies’ Act, 1956 into single company for the purpose to form a single

entity to ensure coordination in discharge of functions with efficiency at

reduced cost by eliminating duplicacy of efforts and expenses.

Recently, both companies RSMDC and RSMML were amalgamated.

The company has not looked back since.

RSMML TODAY

RSMML today comprises of four divisions. They are :

1. PHOSPHATE DIVISION :

Rock phosphate mining at Jhamarkotra, 26 Km from Udaipur is at the

core of RSMML’s activities. The mines are one of the largest and most

mechanized mines in the country. The unit accounts for nearly 80% of the

turnover and 70% of the operating profits. It is one of the most modern and

scientifically laid out mines in the country with 80 million tonnes of proven

rock phosphate reserves. It is probably the largest open cast mine in India

outside the steel and coal sectors.

The fertilizer division at RSMML concentrates phosphatic fertilizers. It

has developed :

RAJPHOS : A special blend of ground rock phosphate ore to be used as

direct fertilizer. It holds 40% of the Indian market.

SINGLE SUPER PHOSPHATE : A low cost water – soluble fertilizer.

PHOSPHORIC ACID

COMPACTED FERTILIZER

Beneficiation :

The depleting high-grade phosphate reserves as well as the burgeoning

imports impelled RSMML to set up a beneficiation plant. RSMML produces

large quantities of low-grade ore that has limited use, so the organization has

developed beneficiation plant to converts low-grade ore into high-grade ore.

2. GYPSUM DIVISION :

RSMML is the country’s largest producer of mineral Gypsum and

Selenite. It is mined in the Thar Desert where conditions are very harsh.

Gypsum deposits are on the surface and spread over large areas. It fulfills the

demand of the cement industry and is used y farmers for reconditioning

alkaline soils.

Selenite is naturally occurring crystalline from of Gypsum. It is

extensively used in ceramic industry and to manufacture high-grade surgical

plaster.

3. LIMESTONE DIVISION :

SMS grade low silica limestone is needed by the steel plants to purify

the raw metal. Largest deposits of this limestone are found in Jaislmer district.

Stringent quality measures include independent analysis of each batch at seven

separate stages. No wonder the biggest private steel maker in India, “Tata

Steel” prefers to source the majority of their requirements from RSMML’s

mines at Sanu.

4. THE LIGNITE DIVISION :

technique, mine modeling and financial analysis to optimize resource

utilization. Apart from in house research, RSMML also sponsors research in

Universities and international research institutions like the international

fertilizer development center.

Providing of consultancy in mining and mineral related activities is one

of the strong hold of the Company. A service of RSMML has been sought for

evaluation of minerals deposits for various agencies. Phosphates in Vietnam

IBP and the present production capacity of Beneficiary plant is doubled

from 1500tpd to 3000tpd.

8) The amalgamation of RSMDC with RSMML is in public interest. The

both company have common areas of mining and the combined mining,

marketing and distribution of these products will be highly economical

and that as a result of achieving business synergy, there will be a

resultant efficiency in production and that the combined company may

have to pay a lower rate of interest and there will be lower corporate

expenses or overheads.

WEAKNESSES

RSMML is a big organization that has its activities all over India. It also

has some weaknesses, which should be removed.

1) Optimum capacity utilization is not done at the mines.

2) The services offered by RSMML to their customers, especially after

sale service is not very satisfactory. The quality of the services should

be improved.

3) There should be regular visit of technical person of RSMML to the SSP

units.

4) The supplies of material by RSMML to the parties are not proper. The

supply is not regular, which may be due to non -availability of transport

medium i.e. railway wagons, which often restrict the production

process.

5) There is no in-house training for executives on common platform.

OPPORTUNITIES

1) In the era of economic liberalization, RSMML may expedite the matter

for obtaining ISO certification in order to access an extra mileage for

their brand quality.

2) Most of the customers have strong faith on the quality of material

offered by RSMML. Therefore, RSMML may convert this faith into

business by targeting potential and occassional buyers and by

improving the quality of present service.

3) The management of RSMML may periodically get the first hand

information about the existing product and services offered by

RSMML. This may increase the market reputation of the company.

4) There are many opportunities for an organization for expansion and

diversification of its activities in India as well as abroad.

THREATS-

1) The government of India has controlled the entire business of phosphatic

fertilizers and potassic fertilizers and as such any change in the

government policies in future may adversely affect the company's

business.

2) Changes in the technology in near future may also prove to be a threat

for an organization.

3) The natural reserves are of depleting nature. It is threat of exhaustion of

deposits in future.

4) 70% of total demand of rock phosphate is being full filled by import

from foreign suppliers. Any reduction in prices by foreign suppliers

may adversely affect the Indian market.
