INTRODUCTION
Human Resources are the single most and very valuable asset of any organization. Training and
development is the field which is concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the
performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings. In the fast changing world, where
technology and process as are subject to up gradation, most of the skills and knowledge possessed by
the employees become redundant and requires up gradation.
Training and development (T&D) encompasses three main activities: training, education, and
development. The purpose of training is to effect change in the behaviour of employees so as to enable
them to reach the goals of the organisation. Therefore, there is a need to train and retrain the employees
in an organization to enable them to cope up with new job requirements.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Training and development is a branch of the human resource function of an organisation. Training
and development is important because it leads to an optimum utilization of the human resources of a
firm.
This research provides me with an opportunity to explore in the field of Human Resources. This
research also provides the feedback of people involved in the Training and development process apart
from that it would provide me a great deal of exposure to interact with the high profile managers of the
company.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of my study at NMDC Ltd., SIU is to lay down the foundation of training and
development.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE

3
The secondary objective of my study at NMDC Ltd., SIU is to apply my learning in the area of
Human Resources so that I gain practical knowledge and understand the nature and importance of
training and development.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A research methodology simplifies the plans for study that guides the collection of data and data
analysis.
PRIMARY DATA
The primary data is collected by informal interview and by the method of designing a questionnaire;
the type of questionnaire designed was a structured one. The objective of the study was the main
concern while framing the questions and accordingly the questions were framed .The employees filled
the questionnaires and the whole process was interactive. The questionnaire includes certain questions,
which were framed using the additional rating scale format. It was both an informal interview and a
questionnaire session where interaction was an important tool for eliciting information.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data means the data that is already available. It refers to the data which is already collected,
analyzed and published or unpublished by someone else. There are two major sources of secondary
data – internal sources, external sources
Internal sources:
In this, information can be collected from organization books, brochures and handouts of the
organization and reports.
External sources:
Information that is available from public sources such as business news papers or magazines,
management books and websites, internet etc.
SAMPLING METHOD
Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations
will be taken from a larger population. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling.

4
Simple Random sample is the popular and simplest technique of sampling. In it each unit of the
population has equal chance of being included or selected in the sample.
SIZE OF SAMPLE
The size of sample deals with number of respondents to be included in a study. This is very crucial for
the study since consistency of the data depends as the number of samples or respondent taken under the
study. The current study has used a sample size of 20 members.
PERIOD OF STUDY
The time taken for the study is 45 days.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The research has its limitations though the research has reached its aims.
Only 20 employees are covered due to time constraint and busy schedule of employees.
The respondents were not readily available and the data was collected as per the convenience of
the respondents.
As the sample size is small the inferences and conclusion drawn may not be appropriate.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Training and development is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that randomness is reduced
and learning or behavioural change takes place in structured format.
TRADITIONAL AND MODERN APPROACH OF TRAINING AND DEVLOPMENT
Traditional approach – Most of the organizations before never used to believe in training. They were
holding the traditional view that managers are born and not made. There were also some views that
training is a very costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive pinching.
But now the scenario seems to be changing.
The modern approach of training and development is that Indian Organizations have realized the
importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of retention tool than a cost. The
training system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce and yield the best
results.
TRAINING DEFINED
It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills, concepts,
rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviours to enhance the performance of employees. Training is
activity leading to skilled behaviour.
It‟s not what you want in life, but it is knowing how to reach it
It‟s not where you want to go, but it‟s knowing how to get there.
It‟s not how high you want to rise, but it‟s knowing how to take off.
It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an outcome.
It‟s not what you dream of doing, but it‟s having the knowledge to do it.
It's not a set of goals, but it‟s more like a vision.
It‟s not the goal you set, but it‟s what you need to achieve it.
Training is about knowing where you stand (no matter how good or bad the current situation
looks) at present, and where you will be after some point of time.
Training is about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through professional
development.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the availability of a
skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that, there are four other objectives:
Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.

15
Individual Objectives – help employees in achieving their personal goals, which in turn, enhances the
individual contribution to an organization.
Organizational Objectives – assist the organization with its primary objective by bringing individual
effectiveness.
Functional Objectives – maintain the department‟s contribution at a level suitable to the
organization‟s needs.
Societal Objectives – ensure that an organization is ethically and socially responsible to the needs and
challenges of the society.
IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING OBJECTIVES
Training objective is one of the most important parts of training program. While some people think of
training objective as a waste of valuable time. The counter argument here is that resources are always
limited and the training objectives actually lead the design of training. It provides the clear guidelines
and develops the training program in less time because objectives focus specifically on needs. It helps
in adhering to a plan. Training objectives tell the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end of
the training program.
Training objectives are of great significance from a number of stakeholder perspectives.
1. Trainer
2. Trainee
3. Designer
4. Evaluator
Trainer
The training objective is also beneficial to trainer because it helps the trainer to measure the progress
of trainees and make the required adjustments. Also, trainer comes in a position to establish a
relationship between objectives and particular segments of training.

16
Trainee
The training objective is beneficial to the trainee because it helps in reducing the anxiety of the trainee
up to some extent. Not knowing anything or going to a place which is unknown creates anxiety that can
negatively affect learning. Therefore, it is important to keep the participants aware of the happenings,
rather than keeping it surprise.
Secondly, it helps in increase in concentration, which is the crucial factor to make the training
successful. The objectives create an image of the training program in trainee‟s mind that actually helps
in gaining attention.
Thirdly, if the goal is set to be challenging and motivating, then the likelihood of achieving those
goals is much higher than the situation in which no goal is Set.
Therefore, training objectives helps in increasing the probability that the participants will be
successful in training.
Designer
The training objective is beneficial to the training designer because if the designer is aware what is to
be achieved in the end then he‟ll buy the training package according to that only. The training designer
would then look for the training methods, training equipments, and training content accordingly to
achieve those objectives. Furthermore, planning always helps in dealing effectively in an unexpected
situation.
Consider an example; the objective of one training program is to deal effectively with customers to
increase the sales. Since the objective is known, the designer will design a training program that will
include ways to improve the interpersonal skills, such as verbal and non verbal language, dealing in
unexpected situation i.e. when there is a defect in a product or when a customer is angry. Therefore,
without any guidance, the training may not be designed appropriately.
Evaluator
It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of the trainees because the
objectives define the expected performance of trainees. Training objective is an important to tool to
judge the performance of participants.

17
TRAINING AND HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The HR functioning is changing with time and with this change, the relationship between the training
function and other management activity is also changing. The training and development activities are
now equally important with that of other HR functions. Gone are the days, when training was
considered to be futile, waste of time, resources, and money. Now-a-days, training is an investment
because the departments such as, marketing & sales, HR, production, finance, etc depends on training
for its survival. If training is not considered as a priority or not seen as a vital part in the organization,
then it is difficult to accept that such a company has effectively carried out HRM.
Training actually provides the opportunity to raise the profile development activities in the
organization. To increase the commitment level of employees and growth in quality movement
(concepts of HRM), senior management team is now increasing the role of training. Such concepts of
HRM require careful planning as well as greater emphasis on employee development and long term
education.
Training is now the important tool of Human Resource Management to control the attrition rate
because it helps in motivating employees, achieving their professional and personal goals, increasing
the level of job satisfaction, etc. As a result training is given on a variety of skill development and
covers a multitude of courses.

18
Role of HRD Professionals in Training
This is the era of cut-throat competition and with this changing scenario of business; the role of HR
professionals in training has been widened. HR role now is:
1. Active involvement in employee education
2. Rewards for improvement in performance
3. Rewards to be associated with self esteem and self worth
4. Providing pre-employment market oriented skill development education and post employment
support for advanced education and training
5. Flexible access i.e. anytime, anywhere training.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Training and development go hand in hand and are often used synonymously but there is a difference
between them.
TRAINING
Training is the process of learning a sequence of programmed behaviour. It is an application of
knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their behaviour. It intends
to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them for an intended job.

19
TRAINING PROCESS
DEVELOPMENT
Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities, which improve job performance,
but also those, which bring about growth of the personality. It helps individual in the progress towards
maturity and actualization of potential capabilities so that they can become not only good employees
but better human beings.

20
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS
A training needs analysis is the method of determining if a training need exists and if it does, what
training is required to fill the gap.
Why should you conduct a TNA?
Avoid training for „training sake‟.
Supports cost effective training.
Targets areas of greatest need.
Gives information on the organisation‟s climate.
Gives commitment from managers and trainers
Separates the „symptoms‟ from the causes.
How can a need to be identified?

21
Complaints from staff, customers/clients
Poor quality work
Frequent errors
Large staff turnover
Deadlines not being met
Conflict amongst staff
New equipment systems
TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS

22
METHODS OF TRAINING OPERATING PERSONNEL/FACTORY WORKERS – HRM
There are different methods of training for operating personnel (factory workers). Training these
workers becomes important because they handle equipment worth crores of rupees. The different
methods can be explained with the help of following diagram:
1. On the job training method
In this method workers who have to be trained are taken to the factory, divided into groups and one
superior is allotted to every group. This superior or supervisor first demonstrates how the equipment
must be handled, and then the worker is asked to repeat whatever he has observed in the presence of the
supervisor. This method makes it easy for the employee to learn the details about specific equipment.
Once the worker studies the first equipment thoroughly the supervisor moves on to the next equipment
and so on.
2. Apprenticeship training
In this method both theory and practical session are conducted. The employee is paid a stipend until he
completes training. The theory sessions give theoretical information about the plant layout, the
different machines, their parts and safety measures etc. The practical sessions give practical training in
handling the equipment. The apprentice may or may not be continued on the job after training.
3. Vestibule training
In this method of training an atmosphere which is very similar to the real job atmosphere is created.
The surroundings, equipment, noise level will be similar to the real situation. When an employee is
trained under such conditions he gets an idea about what the real job situation will be like. Similarly
when he actually starts doing the job he will not feel out of place. This method is used to train pilots

23
and astronauts. In some places graphics are also used to create the artificial surroundings. This method
involves heavy investment.
4. Job rotation
In this method the person is transferred from one equipment to the other for a fixed amount of time
until he is comfortable with all the equipments. At the end of the training the employee becomes
comfortable with all the equipment. He is then assigned a specific task.
5. Classroom method
In this method the training is given in the classroom. Video, clippings, slides, charts, diagrams and
artificial modules etc are used to give training.
METHODS OF TRAINING FOR MANAGERS, METHODS OF MANAGERIAL
DEVELOPMENT/EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Various methods are used to train personnel for managerial level jobs in the company. These methods
can be explained with the help of following diagram

24
ON THE JOB TRAINING METHODS IN HRM
On the job method refers to training given to personnel inside the company. There are different
methods of on the job training:
1. Job rotation
This method enables the company to train managerial personnel in departmental work. They are taught
everything about the department. This helps when the person takes over as a manager and is required to
check whether his juniors are doing the job properly or not. Every minute detail is studied.
2. Planned progression
In this method juniors are assigned a certain job of their senior in addition to their own job. The method
allows the employee to slowly learn the job of his senior so that when he is promoted to his senior job
it becomes very easy for him to adjust to the new situation. It also provides a chance to learn higher
level jobs.
3. Coaching and counselling
Coaching refers to actually teaching a job to a junior. The senior person who is the coach actually
teaches his junior regarding how the work must be handled and how decisions must be taken, the
different techniques that can be used on the job, how to handle pressure.
There is active participation from the senior. Counseling refers to advising the junior employee as and
when he faces problems. The counselor superior plays an advisory role and does not actively teach
employees.
3. Under study
In this method of training a junior is deputed to work under a senior. He takes orders from the senior,
observes the senior, attends meetings with him, learns about decision making and handling of day to
day problems. The method is used when the senior is on the verge of retirement and the job will be
taken over by the junior.

25
4. Junior board
In this method a group of junior level managers are identified and they work together in a group called
junior board. They function just like the board of directors.
OFF THE JOB TRAINING METHODS
Off the job training refers to method of training given outside the company. The different methods
adopted in off the job training are the following:
1. Classroom method
The classroom method is used when a group of managers have to be trained in theoretical aspects. The
training involves using lectures, audio visuals, case study, role play method, group discussions etc. The
method is interactive and provides very good results.
2. Simulation
Simulation involves creating atmosphere which is very similar to the original work environment. The
method helps to train manager handling stress, taking immediate decisions, handling pressure on the
jobs etc. An actual feel of the real job environment is given here.
3. Business games
This method involves providing a market situation to the trainee manager and asking him to provide
solutions. If there are many people to be trained they can be divided into groups and each group
becomes a separate team and play against each other.
4. Committee
A committee refers to a group of people who are officially appointed to look into a problem and
provide solution. Trainee managers are put in the committee to identify how they study a problem and
what they learn from it.

26
5. Readings
This method involves encouraging the trainee manager to increase his reading related to his subject and
then ask him to make a presentation on what he has learned. Information can be collected by trainee
manager from books, magazines and internet etc.
EVALUATION OF TRAINING PROGRAM
Effectiveness of training programs are constantly evaluated by the company to find if the money, they
have invested has been spending properly or not. Training programs can be evaluated by asking
following questions.
i. Has change occurred after training?
ii. Is the change due to training?
iii. Is the change positive or negative?
iv. Will the change continue with every training program?
A training program should give following resulting changes:
1. Reaction
Reaction refers to attitude of employee about the training, whether the employee considers training to
be positive or negative one. If reaction is positive then people have accepted the program and changes
will be possible.
2. Learning
Another method of judging effectiveness is to identify levels of learning i.e. how much the people have
learnt during the training. This can be found out by trainers mark sheet, the report submitted by the
employee, and actual performance.
3. Behaviour
The HR department needs to understand behaviour of the employees, to understand the effectiveness of
training. The behavioural change can be seen in how the person interacts with juniors, peer groups and

27
seniors. They mark change in behavior and inform the HR department of the success of training
program.
4. Result
Results provided by employee in monetary terms also determines effectiveness of training program i.e.
employee success in handling the project, the group performance before and after training etc.
Advantages of Training Programs
The following are the advantages of training program to the company:
1. Increase in efficiency of worker
Training programs can help workers to increase their efficiency levels, improve quality and thereby
increase sales for the company.
2. Reduced supervision
When workers have been formally trained they need not be supervised constantly. This reduces the
work load on the supervisor and allows him to concentrate on other activities in the factory.
3. Reduction in wastage
The amount of material wasted by a trained worker is negligible as compared to the amount of material
wasted by an untrained worker. Due to this the company is able to reduce its cost its cost of production.
4. Less turnover of labour
One of the advantages of the training program is that it increases the confidence of employees and
provides them with better career opportunities. Due to this employee generally do not leave the
company. There by reducing labour turnover.
5. Training helps new employees

28
A person, who is totally new to the company, has no idea about its working. Training helps him to
understand what is required from him and helps him to adjust to the new environment.
6. Union management relations
When employees are trained and get better career opportunities. The union starts having a possible
attitude about the management. They feel that the management is genuinely interested in workers
development. This improves union management relations.
ADVANTAGES OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Following are the advantages of training program to the employee:
1. Better career opportunities
Training programs provide the latest information, develops talent and due to this the employee is in a
position to get better jobs in the same company or other companies.
2. High rewards
Effective training programs result in improved performance. When performance appraisal is done
excellent performance from the employee is rewarded by giving him incentives and bonus
3. Increased motivation
Employees who have been trained are generally more confident as compared to others. Since their
efforts will be rewarded in future they are very much interested in improving their performance.
Therefore we can say that their motivation levels are very high.
4. Group efforts
Training programs are not only technical programs but are also conducted in areas like conflict
management, group dynamics (formal and informal groups), behavioral skills, stress management etc.
This enables employees to put in group effort without facing problems that groups normally face. In
other words training teaches people to work in a group.

29
5. Promotion
People who attend training programs learn from them and improve themselves are generally considered
for promotion. Thus training increases chances of promot

this ell is to train the employee about industrial safety. They conduct safety lecture on the topics which
are important for safety while working with risky equipments and trains the employee to face any risk
while working.

equipments are extinguishers. This extinguisher is maintained in working conditions by the safety staff
and they are placed in every working place. Where people are working if any fire takes place any
