    INTRODUCTION

    TULASI Granites is headed by Mr. RAMANUJAN DARAK, a pioneer in the granite field

    who was honoured by the awards

    Independence for his contribution in field of Mining & Marketing of Granites.

    Production range of TULASI granites includes Rough Dimension Block, Polished, Flamed,

    Honed and Cut to size structural slab, monuments memorials and mausoleum for different

    countries in exclusive design. GME group also produces modular tiles, vanities and counter

    tops; table tops sculptured pieces in different colors of natural granites stones

    Several prestigious in the world have used granite stones from TULASI granites. The

    organization is managed and run by highly qualified professionals and skilled engineers.

    Of all the factors of production - Capital, land, labour; labour or man is undoubtly the

    crucial factor that makes or mars an organization.

    Employees are now a days seen as business partners of the organization. They empower the

    organization to succeed. At the threshold of this transformation, human assets need to be

    chosen carefully, developed, nurtured, utilized and their competencies multiplied.

    High employee satisfaction levels can reduce turnover and attrition rate in the

    industries.

    People are the key to success in the new economy. Companies are attaching greater

    importance to human performance today than ever before. And while corporations have

    presumably always valued their employees, in today's fast-moving new economy, people

    have gained even greater stature and are now seen as possibly the most important factor in a

    company's success or failure.

    Companies are giving due importance to recognize and the extraordinary efforts related to

    retain the people in industry, some are making efforts to attract and retain top talent, represent

    fundamental shifts in employer-employee relationships. And no where has this been truer

    than in the high-tech sector, with its insatiable demand for knowledge workers.

    But the focus on human performance now stretches across all industries and all levels,

    from the front lines of customer service to the highest executive ranks. Almost industries are

    putting their best efforts to the keep employees happy and engaged.

    One reason CEOs have begun investing in human performance improvement is that

    they now have quantifiable proof of a sizable return. HR is fast changing from an internal

    service department to a strategic partner in improving a company's competitive position. In

    this era of competition, if internal customers, i.e. employees are not happy then the

    organization will be out of competitive market.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    PROJECT PROBLEM

    Definition:

    Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy and

    contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures purport that

    employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement, and

    positive employee morale in the workplace.

    Employee satisfaction, while generally a positive in your organization, can also be a downer

    if mediocre employees stay because they are satisfied with your work environment.

    INTRODUCTION

    EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION is the problem undertaken in TULASI

    GRANITES, which forms one of the basic objectives of every business house regardless of

    the size. It is believed that employees are the live assets of an organization. This statement

    holds true for the mere reason that employees are supposed to be the BACKBONE of the

    business.

    Abilities, talents, aptitude and potentials for effectively activating every human

    resource development strategy must be guided by the golden rule:

    GIVE LOVE AND GET LOVE

    If there is cent percent satisfaction of the employees that is not possible, then it

    leads to sincerity and dedication to the work, which makes the organization to prosper in

    business and economy as a whole.

    THEORIES OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION.

    DAVID MCCLELLANDS MOTIVATIONAL NEED THEORY

    David McClelland is most noted for describing three types of motivational need, which he

    identified in his 1988 book, Human Motivation:

    Achievement motivation (n-ach),

    Authority or power motivation (n-pow),

    Affiliation motivation (n-affil).

    Davidic McClellands needs-based motivational model

    These needs are found to varying degrees in all workers and managers, and this mix of

    motivational needs characterizes a person's or manager's style and behavior, both in terms of

    being motivated and in the management and motivation others.

    The need for achievement (n-ach)

    The n-ach person is 'achievement motivated' and therefore seeks achievement, attainment of

    realistic but challenging goals, and advancement in the job. There is a strong need for

    feedback as to achievement and progress, and a need for a sense of

    accomplishment.

    ABRAHAM MASLOWS HIERARCHY OF

    NEED MOTIVATIONAL.MODEL

    Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50's USA, and

    the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human motivation,

    management training, and personal development. Indeed, Maslow's ideas surrounding the

    Hierarchy of Needs concerning the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace

    environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfill their own unique potential

    (self-actualization) are today more relevant than ever. Abraham Maslow's book Motivation

    and Personality, published in 1954 (second edition 1970) introduced the Hierarchy of Needs,

    and Maslow extended his ideas in other work, notably his later book Toward a Psychology ofbeing, a significant

    BABASAB PATIL 11

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    12/83

    and relevant commentary, which has been revised in recent times by Richard Lowry, who is

    in his own right a leading academic in the field of motivational psychology.

    Abraham Maslow was born in New York in 1908 and died in 1970, although various

    publications appear in Maslow's name in later years. Maslow's PhD in psychology in 1934 at

    the University of Wisconsin formed the basis of his motivational research, initially studying

    rhesus monkeys. Maslow later moved to New York's Brooklyn College.

    Maslow's original five-stage Hierarchy of Needs model is clearly and directly attributable to

    Maslow; later versions with added motivational stages are not so clearly attributable.

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has been extended through interpretation of Maslow's work by

    other people, and these augmented models and diagrams are shown as the adapted seven and

    eight-stage Hierarchy of Needs models

    below. There is some uncertainty as to how and when these additional three stages (six,

    seventh and eighth - 'Cognitive', 'Aesthetical', and 'Transcendence') came to be added, and by

    whom, to The Hierarchy of Needs model, and many people consider Maslow's 'original five-

    stage Hierarchy Of Needs model to be the definitive

    (and perfectly adequate) concept.

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs

    Each of us is motivated by needs. Our most basic needs are inborn, having evolved

    over tens of thousands of years. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs helps to explain how

    these needs motivate us all. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs states that we must satisfy each

    need In turn, starting with the first, which deals with the most obvious needs for survival

    itself.

    Only when the lower order needs of physical and emotional well being are satisfied

    are we concerned with the higher order needs of Influence and personal development.

    Conversely, the things that satisfy our lower order needs are swept away, we are no longer

    concerned about the maintenance of our higher order needs. Maslow's original Hierarchy of

    Needs model was developed between1943-1954.

    FREDERICK HERTZBERG MOTIVATIONALTHEORY

    Frederick Hertzbergs motivation and hygiene factors

    Frederick Hertzbergs book 'The Motivation to Work', written with research

    colleagues B Mausner and B Snyderman in 1959, first established his theories about

    motivation in the workplace. Hertzberg's work, originally on 200 Pittsburgh engineers and

    accountants, has become one of the most replicated studies in the field of workplace

    psychology.

    Hertzberg was the first to show that satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work nearly

    always arose from different factors, and were not simply opposing reactions to the same

    factors, as had always previously been (and still now by the unenlightened) believed.

    He showed that certain factors truly motivate ('motivators'), whereas others tend to

    lead to dissatisfaction ('hygiene factors').

    According to Hertzberg, Man has two sets of needs; one as an animal to avoid pain, and the

    other as a human being to grow psychologically.

    He illustrated this also through Biblical example: Adam after his Expulsion from Eden

    having the need for food, warmth, shelter, safety, etc., - the 'hygiene' needs; and Abraham,

    capable and achieving great things through self-development - the 'motivational' needs.

    Hertzberg's research proved that people will strive to achieve hygiene needs because

    they are unhappy without them, but once satisfied the effect soon wears off - satisfaction is

    temporary.

    The company provides the training to all employees irrespective of their qualification

    skill experience and levels of job.

    The training is needed for the following purpose:

    Job requirements employees selected for a job might lack the qualifications

    required to perform a job effectively. New and inexperienced employee required

    detailed instruction for effective performance on the job. Remedial training should

    be given to such people to match the needs of the organization. New employees

    need to be provided orientation training to make them familiar with the job and

    organisation.

    Technicalogy changes: it is changing very fast. Now automation and

    mechanization are being increasingly applied in office. And service sector

    increasing use of fast changing technique requires training in to new technology.

    Organisation viability: in order to survive and grow an organisation must

    continually adopt itself to the changing environment. Existing employees need

    refresher training to keep them a breast of new knowledge.

    BENEFITS OF TRAINING TO EMPLOYEES:

    Training is useful to employees in the following ways:-

    1] Self Confidence

    2] Higher Earnings

    3] Safety

    4] Adaptability

    5] Promotion

    6} New Skills

    The statistically significant factors that affect Employee satisfaction

    Bavendam Research identified six factors, that influence job satisfaction.

    When these six factors were high, job satisfaction was high. When the six factors were low,

    job satisfaction was low. These factors are similar to what we have found in all organizations.

    1. Opportunity

    Employees are more satisfied when they have challenging opportunities at work. This

    includes chances to participate in interesting projects; jobs with a satisfying degree of

    challenge and opportunities for increased responsibility. Important; this is not simply

    promotional opportunity. As organizations have become flatter, promotions can be rare.

    People have found challenge through projects team leadership, special assignments as well as

    promotions.

    Actions:

    Reward promising employees with roles on interesting projects.

    Divide jobs into levels of increasing leadership and responsibility.

    It may be possible to crate job titles that demonstrate increasing levels of expertise, which are

    not limiting by a viability of positions they simply demonstrate achievement.

    2. Stress

    When negative stress is continuously high, job satisfaction is low. Jobs are more stressful if

    they interfere with employees personal lives or are a continuing source of worry or concern.

    Actions:

    Promote a balance of work and personal lives. Make sure that senior managers

    model this behavior.

    Distribute work evenly (fairly) within work teams.

    Review work procedures to remove unnecessary red tape or bureaucracy.

    Manage the number of interruptions while trying to do their jobs.

    Some organizations utilize exercise or fun breaks at work.

    3. Leadership

    Employees are more satisfied when their managers are good leaders. This includes

    motivating employees to do a good job, striving for excellence or just taking action.

    Consider employees responsibilities, the effort they have put forth, the work they have done

    well and the demands of their jobs.

    Actions:

    Make sure rewards are for genuine contributions to the organization.

    Be consistent in your reward policies.

    If your wages sure competitive, then make sure that employees know this.

    Reward can include a variety of benefits and rewards other than money.

    As an added benefit, employees who are reward fairly, experience less stress.

    6. Adequate Authority

    Employees are more satisfied when they have adequate freedom and authority to do their

    jobs.

    Actions:

    When reasonable:

    Let employees make decisions.

    Allow employees to have input on decisions that will affect them.

    Establish work goals but let employees determine how they will achieve those goals.

    Later reviews may identify innovative best practices.

    Ask, If there were just one or two decisions that you could make, which ones would

    make the biggest difference in your job?

    In creasing job satisfaction is important for its humanitarian value and for its financial benefit

    (due to its effect on employee behavior). As early as 1918, Edward Thorndike explored the

    relationship between work and satisfaction in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

    Bavendam Research has included measures of job satisfaction in all our employee surveys.

    Clear patterns have emerged.

    Employees with higher job satisfaction:

    Believe that the organization will be satisfying in the long run

    Care about the quality of their work

    Are more committed to the organization

    Have higher retention rates, and are more productive.

    One thing that makes humans unique is ability to focus energy. Whether to heat a home

    or to cut steel with a laser, focusing energy where it has needed, produces significant results.

    As a manager, you need to know what is important problem is more likely to produce

    measurable benefits to the organization.

    The actual cases unique to your organization can only uncovered through a

    proper analysis. Bavendam research Inc. has developed a survey process that identifies

    underlying cases of the factors such as:

    Retention/turnover

    Productivity

    Teamwork

    Communication

    Job satisfaction

    and much more.

    TRAINING METHODS

    As a result of research in the field of training, a number of programmes are available.

    Some of these are new methods, while others are improvements over the traditional methods.

    The training programmes commonly used to train operative and supervisory personnel are

    discussed below. These programmes are classified into on-the-job and off-the-job training

    programmes

    On The-Job Training Methods

    This type of training, also known as job instruction training, is the most commonly used

    method. Under this method, the individual is placed on a regular job and taught the skills

    necessary to perform that job. The trainee learns under the supervision and guidance of a

    qualified worker or instructor. On-the-job training has the advantage of giving first hand

    knowledge and experience under the actual working conditions. While the trainee learns how

    to perform a job, he is also a regular worker rendering the services for which he is paid. The

    problem of transfer of trainee is also minimized as the person learns on-the-job. The

    emphasis is placed on rendering services in the most effective manner rather than learning

    how to perform the job. On-the-job training methods include job rotation, coaching, job

    instruction or training through step-by-step and committee assignments.

    Job Rotation: This type of training involves the movement of the trainee from one job to

    another. The trainee receives job knowledge and gains experience from his supervisor or

    trainer in each of the different job assignments. Though this method of training is common in

    training managers for general management positions, trainees can also be rotated from job to

    BABASAB PATIL 25

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    26/83

    job in workshop jobs. This method gives an opportunity to the trainee to understand the

    problems of employees on other jobs and respect them.

    Coaching: The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coach in

    training the individual. The supervisor provides feedback to the trainee on his performance

    and offers him some suggestions for improvement. Often the trainee shares some of the

    duties and responsibilities of the coach and relieves him of his burden. A limitation of this

    method of training is that the trainee may not have the freedom or opportunity to express his

    own ideas.

    Job Instruction: This method is also known as training through step by step. Under this

    method, the trainer explains to the trainee the way of doing the jobs, job knowledge and skills

    and allows him to do the job. The trainer appraises the performance of the trainee, provides

    feedback information and corrects the trainee.

    Committee Assignments: Under the committee assignment, a group of trainees are

    given and asked to solve an actual organizational problem. The trainees solve the problem

    jointly. It develops teamwork.

    Off-the-Job methods

    Under this method of training, the trainee is separated from the job situation and his

    attention is focused upon learning the material related to his future job performance. Since

    the trainee is not distracted by job requirements, he can place his entire concentration on

    learning the job rather than spending his time in performing it. There is an opportunity for

    freedom of expression for the trainees. Companies have started using multimedia technology

    in training, Off-the-job training methods are as follows:

    BABASAB PATIL 26

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    27/83

    Vestibule Training: In this method, actual work conditions are simulated in a classroom.

    Material, files and equipment, which are used in actual job performance, are also used in

    training. This type of training is commonly used for training personnel for clerical and semi-

    skilled jobs. The duration of this training ranges from days to a few weeks. Theory can be

    related to practice in this method.

    Role Playing: It is defined as a method of human interaction that involves realistic

    behaviour in imaginary situations. This method of training involves action, doing and

    practice. The participants play the role of certain characters such as the production manager,

    mechanical engineer, superintendents, maintenance engineers, quality control inspectors,

    foremen, workers and the like. This method is mostly used for developing inter-personal

    interactions and relations.

    Lecture Method: The lecture is a traditional and direct method of instruction. The instructor

    organizes the material and gives it to a group of trainees in the form of a talk. To be effective,

    the lecture must motivate and create interest among the trainees. An advantage of the lecture

    method is that it is direct and can be used for a large group of trainees. Thus, costs and time

    involved are reduced. The major limitation of the lecture method is that it does not provide

    for transfer of training effectively.

    Conference or Discussion: It is a method in training the clerical, professional and

    supervisory personnel. This method involves a group of people who pose ideas, examine and

    share facts, ideas and data, test assumptions and draw conclusions, all of which contribute to

    the improvement of job performance. Discussion has the distinct advantage over the lecture

    BABASAB PATIL 27

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    28/83

    method, in that the discussion involves two-way communication and hence feedback is

    provided. The participants feel free to speak in small groups. The success of this method

    depends on the leadership qualities of the person who leads the group.

    Programmed Instruction: In recent years, this method has become popular. The subject

    matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned sequential units. These units

    are arranged from simple to more complex levels of instruction. The trainee goes through

    these units by answering questions or filling the blanks. This method is expensive and time

    consuming.

    How to make Training Effective

    Determine training needs through job description, performance appraisal forms and

    potential appraisal discussions.

    Prepare a training calendar in discussion with managers.

    Training programmes should be well-defined specific objectives.

    Nominate the employees for training based on a need for training.

    Trainers should be qualified and experienced, and preferable internal.

    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TRAINING

    Employee Self Initiative

    Employees have realized that change is the order of the day and they have started playing

    the role of a change agent. Consequently, employees identify their own training needs, select

    appropriate training programme organized by various organizations and undergo the training

    programmes. Thus, employees in recent times started taking proactive measures on their own.

    On-Line Training

    Companies started providing on-line training. Trainees can undergo training by staying at the

    place of their work. Participants complete course work from wherever they have access to

    computer and Internet. Different types of media are used for on-line training.

    TYPICAL DIMENSIONS OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

    Employee satisfaction surveys can cover as many or as few topics as are required by your

    organization. Some of these topics include:

    Job satisfaction

    The company as a place to work

    Organization direction, strategy and goals

    Employee morale

    Organizational relationships

    Supervision

    Management

    Leadership

    Employee satisfaction has two components

    1.Hygeiene issues

    2.Motivation issues

    The hygiene issues are:

    1.Company and Administration Policy:They should be updated and accessible to all the

    employees so that the employees are aware of all policies of the organization.

    BABASAB PATIL 30

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    31/83

    2.Supervision: The supervisor should have the good leadership qualities and should give

    positive feedback at regular interval.

    3.Salary: Employees want to be paid according to their competence and hard work.

    4.Interpersonal Relations: It is the relation with the superior ,peer and subordinate .The

    employees should be given time for socialization .i.e. during lunch, tea break,etc.

    5.Working conditions:The working environment should be good so that the employees will

    have sense of pride in working for the organization and should be provided with the

    necessary facilities and adequate space work efficiently.

    The motivation issues are :

    1.Work: The work should make employees believe that the work they are doing is important.

    2.Achievement: All employees want to do a good job and make use of their talent .

    3.Recognition:Employees should be rewarded for high performance by bonus or at least

    praising their efforts.

    4.Responsibilty:Employees should be given enough freedom or power to carry out their

    task .They should have ownership of work and be given challenging work.

    5.Advancement:Loyalty and performance should be rewarded by providing opportunities for

    career development .

    The absence of hygiene issues is a source of dissatisfaction. While increase in the motivation

    factors ,will increase in employee satisfaction .the hygiene issues should be dealt first and

    then the motivation issues should be given considerations .Bigger pay checks rarely equate

    with higher job satisfaction .

    With the manager employee strnght of five people at the inception, our present workforce is

    4000 consisting of dedicated people. We are proud to say that since 1976 in a long span of

    34years of organization history. There has not been a single instance of labor unrest. This is due

    to the strong employer employee relationship and various welfare measure adopted by the

    company such as provident found, gratuity scheme, medical reimbursement, pension scheme,

    educational benefits maternity benefit etc

    They have introduce various novel schemes like payment to drivers based on

    mileage driven by them even the hamals and drivers of the organization are extended the benefit

    of ESI/PF etc

    A part from directed employment, we have introduce a self employment

    scheme for local entrepreneurs by appointing them as agents of company .we have found that in

    small places local people will be in a better position to cater to customer without adding

    overheads to the company .it is estimated that at least 10000 people are benefited by way of

    direct / indirect employment from our Organisation

    EMPOLYEE AND EMPLOYER RELATIONSHIP

    It is a process of an effective motivation of individuals in given situation in order to achieve

    a balance of objectives which will yield grater human satisfaction and help accomplished

    company goals

    As we observed there is no trade union because of good relation between employee and

    employer if any conflict they are solved by the management

    How Granite Slabs are Created

    Granite is more than just a pretty face. The stone is second only to diamonds in hardness,

    which accounts for the effectiveness of diamonds in facilitating the quarrying of the natural

    stone. It is granite's toughness and durability that make it such a desirable countertop

    material. It won't break or crack, and it is virtually scratch and stain resistant.

    BABASAB PATIL 33

    34/83

    Cutting granite at the quarry

    Once the granite is removed from the earth, it needs to be cut to size accordingly. This istypically done with wire saws that are often treated with a varying range of abrasives from

    sand to aluminum oxide to diamond, along with water which acts as a coolant. Other types of

    cutting devices are often used in tandem, or in the absence of, these wire saws. Water jet

    cutting, for example, uses a focused, high-pressure stream to cut stone along specified cutting

    lines. Once it has been established that the granite blocks are to be used for countertops and

    tile, they are cut and polished into the familiar forms for these purposes. The granite tile and

    slabs are calibrated to ensure that the thickness of the granite is uniform and gauged to makesure that they are square; tiles are beveled to produce their smooth edges. Once this part of

    the process is completed, they are ready for your project.

    There are four operations that are involved in the processing of granite. They are:

    Dressing

    Cutting/Sawing

    Surface Grinding and Polishing

    Edge-Cutting-Trimming.

    Dressing Granite

    Stone dressing: once a block of granite has been broken down to the appropriate size

    required, the sides have to be roughly smoothed off before polishing can begin. Stone

    dressing was usually carried out at stone-cutting and polishing works, rather than at the

    quarry itself.

    Originally, rough dressing was done with a blocking hammer or a dressing pick, with

    puncheons and chisels for finer work. A more efficient dressing tool was the bush hammer, or

    patent axe.

    Cutting/Sawing

    Cutting of granite blocks into slabs was once a laborious process taking months, using an iron

    saw with sand and water as an abrasive. With the invention of chilled iron shot (small pellets

    of iron) and the use of steel saws, the cutting time was reduced to days. The dressing process

    left a relatively smooth surface which could then be polished.

    During the 1960s, endless wire loop saws superseded the old frame saws thus diamond tipped

    circular saws have also been used for many years since it leaves a surface sufficiently smooth

    as to require no further polishing before dressing.

    BABASAB PATIL 35

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    36/83

    The rough blocks arriving at the stone yard from the quarry are irregular in size and shape is

    inspected to identify the most efficient way to cut them into slab form while minimizing

    wastage.

    Once the initial inspection is complete, the block is primarily sawed into slab form by means

    of large circular diamond-tipped blades, wire or monoblade saws which cut one slab at a time

    or by a frame saw with multiple blades that cut each block depending upon its size in a

    single operation into a number of slabs.

    With this operation the thickness of the block can be varied to suit the finished stone it is

    being cut for, and it is only when the block is opened in this way that any internal defects can

    be discovered. It is important to remember that stone is a natural product and that colour and

    veining (figuring) may also vary throughout a block or from block to block and result in some

    slabs being rejected.

    The next phase secondary sawing consists of cutting the slabs into dimensioned ashlar.

    The machines used are usually computerised bridge saws with circular diamond blades

    ranging in diameter from 600-1200mm and can also have tilting heads to provide angled cuts.

    BABASAB PATIL 36

  • 7/28/2019 employeesatisfactiontulasigranitesmbaprojectreport-120612234847-phpapp02

    37/83

    The resulting ashlar is coded ready for palleting or sent to the mason workshop for other

    masonry work such as broaching, droving or stugging to take place. In the second of these

    options slabs can also be cut to sizes and shapes that can be moulded by hand or, equally

    common today, by means of lathes profiling and water jetting machines (these machines are

    mostly controlled by computers).

    The stone that passes through the lathes, profiling and water jetting machines can either be

    returned to the secondary saws to be jointed or moved to the banker area for the masons to

    carry out further work such as returning moulding, sunk mouldings or to cut out moulded

    brackets in a cornice course. Following the completion of work to each stone it is checked for

    quality and any defects before being polished, palleted and shrink-wrapped ready for

    delivery to site.

    The banker area is where time-served masons and apprentices using traditional tools such as

    mells (mallets), teeth tools, chisels, etc. carry out work that cannot be undertaken by

    machines.

    Nowadays most of their chisels have tungsten instead of steel tips and instead of employing

    the blacksmith of former years are sharpened by use of grinding wheels. The masons may

    now also use compressed air tools and angle grinders along with drilling and coring

    machines.

    Surface Grinding/Polishing

    Dressing of stone left a roughly flat but uneven surface; polishing produces a smooth, even

    shiny surface. For thousands of years the only way to polish stone was to rub one against

    another, using sand and water as an abrasive. Polishing machines were introduced in the early

    nineteenth century. Flat iron rings were turned by hand over a dressed surface, using sand and

    water as an abrasive. Steam power for turning the iron rings was introduced in 1830s.

    38/83

    In the 1880s the Jenny Lind polishing machine was introduced (the machine so called from

    its humming noise, which was likened to the Swedish singer of that name).

    This had a steel ring - shooting ring - which rotated over the dressed stone surface, iron shot

    and water were used as an abrasive. Finer polishing stages used carborundum then emery.

    With modern saws leaving smoother finishes, the shooting process is unnecessary, and

    carborundum polishing can begin immediately. A modern version of the Jenny Lind, the

    Seaton polisher, has four small rotating solid carborundum heads and is often fully automatic.

    A buildings architectural expression can be greatly enhanced by the choice of surface finish

    and in the case of natural stone a variety of considerations apply, including the function, type,

    and hardness of the material as well as the aesthetic effect desired. Greater awareness of the

    range of light and shade effects possible on different stone types and of the techniques

    available to draw out the unique qualities of each has increased demand for manually dressed

    stone, and this traditional process has become easier and quicker with new types of

    The mine is situated in HANAMSAGAR ROAD and adapoor which 60 km away from

    Ilkal the granite were getting in this place is pink granite to approach the deposited in the

    earth roadways will be made after that top soil will be removed with the excavator still we get

    the hard sheet rock. Then we will observe the height and the width of the sheet (granite) next

    we will observe whether the sheet is free is free or not. If it is not free we will put the jet

    burner or wire caw to get the free face them. By observing natural joints resent in the sheet

    we will put the vertical holes to the desired height or depth the holes will be drilled with

    jackhammer instrument the spacing between the holes is to 30cms putting the holes. The

    holes will be located with proper quality of explosive (gun powder) and it will be blasted.

    After this we will observe the blasted sheet is horizontally free is there or not if it is not free

    we will put the horizontal holes to required depth and we will blast it. This is one process of

    the taking primary block put of mainsheet rock.

    After getting the primary block the color grain size and other defects will be checked

    after checking the quality once again closer holes will be drilled on the all sides of the blocks

    to get a regular shade or desired size the drilled hole on the block will be hammered with the

    help of chiseled roads to take out the unnecessary part of the bock this process is called

    dressing of the block this process has been done by the gagmens known the block is ready

    for the sale.
