Jay Shree Tea & Industries Ltd.

Tea industry is an extremely labour intensive one with plantation workforce hardly having decent literacy levels. A major part of the work-force live on the estates with their families and therefore the total population residing and directly dependent on the tea estates is quite large. The company has to deal with many unions and hence efficient human resource management is the key to survival and success of the company. We have excellent relations with all the unions and the labour work-force which is proved by the fact that we have not had any labour unrest in any of our estates.

The company takes pride in looking after its own people and has set-up facilities to provide better living conditions for its workforce. We provide them with hygienic living conditions, subsidized electricity and rations, schools for their children, handicraft centres for providing vocational training, medical facilities not only to provide basic medical care but also to take care of emergencies with subsidized medicines. There are community areas for hosting entertainment programmes etc. We also have full-fledged hospitals in a couple of gardens with fully equipped operation theatres.

In Darjeeling , the best-equipped hospital in the district is in the Puttabong estate, which has a 52-bed hospital, while the Dewan group of estates in Cachar has a 110-bed hospital with a fully-equipped operation theatre. Not just this, the Sholayar and Kallyar estates in South India also have a 50-bed hospital with OT and facilities like ECG, X-Ray, incubator, bedside monitor and a complete clinical laboratory.

Jay Shree Tea is concerned with the health of its employees. Medical centres at Jay Shree Tea's various estates are doing commendable work,holding regular eye check camps, dental care camps, pulse polio programmes, blood donation camps, family planning camps, routine immunization, snake bite treatments and maternity care.

Nature Conservancy

Jayshree Tea is proud to be eco-friendly. Its inexorable pursuit of technology has not been at the cost of nature. The management at Jay Shree Tea is equally wedded to the preservation of environment . Our afforestation programme has met with a  huge success, with thousands of timber trees being planted along roadsides. We are constantly upgrading our technical knowhow so as to effectively utilize our natural resources.

With special educational programmes being undertaken on a regular basis for the tea garden workers and their families, they are constantly being briefed on the importance of ecology and conservation of natural resources.

Jay Shree Tea is supported by other respectable concerns and organizations. Voluntary organizations too, together with the management, have taken up various projects to clean village drains and sewage; a drive for cleaner water has also resulted in fewer ailments among the labour force.

Our top management is hands-on and is very closely involved in company’s activities from the grass-root level ensuring the success of every task is undertaken. Our office work-force is a dedicated lot and the company is not affected by the problem of attrition which is the bane of all industries across the country.
