Can an MBA in HR Qualify as a Welfare Officer in a Garment Export Company?

Hi everyone,

Is there any compulsion that a welfare officer should be MSW? MBA (Human Resource) can't be a Welfare officer. I am working in a garment export company. Kindly give me suggestions.

In Maharashtra, MBA candidates are eligible to qualify for the Labour Welfare Officer interview, but candidates with MSW, MPM, or a Diploma/Degree in Labour Law/Welfare can also apply. I am a certified Labour Welfare Officer in Maharashtra.

Thank you, Prashant!

Can you please provide me with a detailed job description for the welfare officer position? I would like to have a complete profile. I am currently working in NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh, and each state has its own set of laws. I am a bit confused about this, so could you please clarify it for me?

Thank you once again!

Qualifications for a Labour Welfare Officer

The required qualifications for a Labour Welfare Officer are outlined in the respective states' Factory Act rules. For instance, as per the MP Factory Act rules, the following criteria are specified for appointment as a welfare officer:

- Possession of a degree from a university recognized by the state government in this regard.
- Attainment of a degree or diploma in Social Science from an institution recognized by the state government.
- Adequate knowledge of Hindi and the language spoken by the majority of workers in the relevant factory.

For further assistance, you can contact your local labor office.

Best regards,
Bhupesh

Dear Prashant,

First of all, please note that an MBA is not a prescribed qualification for a Welfare Officer. The required qualification for a Labour Welfare Officer is outlined in the respective states' Factory Act rules. A person shall not be eligible for appointment as a welfare officer unless he:

- Possesses a degree or diploma in labor laws
- Has obtained a degree or diploma in Social Science from any institution recognized by the state government for this purpose
- Has adequate knowledge of the local language.

Additionally, I am a certified welfare officer and am seeking a change. If you have any vacancies, please inform me.

Thanks,

Hi,

But you didn't tell me the job description of a welfare officer, and please suggest the book in which I can find all the details. In which Factory Act is related to this profile, and how should I improve myself in this field? Please reply.

I am from Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

I am an MSW from MSU, Baroda, Gujarat. Which institutes are recognized by Maharashtra State for the Welfare Officer position?

Can anybody share the details about the state government-recognized institutes for the post of Welfare Officer?

Dear Mr. Jai and Naga,

Eligibility for Labour Welfare Officer Position

All universities and deemed universities recognized by the UGC should be accepted by the government, unless any restrictions are imposed by the appropriate government due to certain reasons. Any law degree, PGDPM&IR, or MSW is eligible for the Labour Welfare Officer vacancy. The major concern here is that the person appointed as a Labour Welfare Officer must have adequate knowledge about Labour Welfare/Safety Measures, and some knowledge of the ID Act is essential to handle any situation.

Regards

Hello members, can anyone tell me about what topics questions may come in the welfare officer written test?

Whether a B.Sc. with an LLB degree, along with 2 years of experience in dealing with personal and welfare issues, is considered eligible to be a welfare officer.

Dear All,

I have completed my Post Graduation in MSW. I want to become a labour welfare officer. Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for that?
