And, of course, I sympathize with adjusting from other environments designed
for somewhat more specific purposes like Stata as R is more of a general

Anupam,
This is very general, and it also depends on the scientific domain.
Factors do solve the value labels, but they drop the (original) values.
They also lose the connection to the different types of missing values (an
important topic in the social sciences).
Base R provides as much as it can

Thanks. Sorry, I have not consulted help pages, but did a web search. Web
search results are referring to some package or the other for doing labels.
Thanks for letting me know that this can be done in base-R. I will try to
find the relevant information in R documentation.

Yes, there are many.
How many help pages (in R , i.e. base-R) did you consult?
