EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:My project is based on the a study of TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES IN KARAM INDUSTRIES program for safety industry. It includes that how a manufacturing company trained their employee for produced their product. As we know that various technical parts are the major issue for this era so to produce it the industry have to pay attention. KARAM Industries is the best safety industry. I have collected this information from the plant of KARAM Industries Rudrapur.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Education and training are the element of learning process. Education is the process of increasing the general knowledge and to develop overall understanding and mental capabilities. It is theoretical consisting of concept and aimed at simulating and analytical & creative facilities of an individual. Training is the process of imparting knowledge and skill for doing a specific job. Training is more specific and job oriented. As an organized activity, training is designed to create a change in thinking and behavior of an individual. As a management student of M.B.A. have across various subjects. However, that was only the theoretical awareness of the organisation. In order to know the practical implementations of different subjects in an organisation. I have undergone a summer training program for six weeks in KARAM Industries Rudrapur.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY: To study the system of training and development adopted by KARAM Industries. To measure the level of satisfaction among the worker. To know about industrial environment. To see the difference between theoretical knowledge & practical knowledge. To know how the theoretical knowledge apply in the practical approach. To know the various H.R. activities and Policies implemented in KARAM Industries.

MEANING OF RESEARCH:Systematized efforts to gain new knowledge Redman and Mary. Research is the process of defining and re- defining problems formulating the different hypothesis with suggested solutions by collecting, summarizing, organizing and evaluating different datas by thus reaching on solutions with careful testing. Research is common means which refers to search for knowledge. Research is scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. A Careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge. Advanced Learners Dictionary

OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH:1- The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of scientific procedure. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. 2- To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group (studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies); 3- To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else ( studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic research studies ); 4- To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables (such studies are known as hypothesis testing research studies).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:Research methodology refers to the various sequential steps (along with a rationale, of each such step to adopt by a researcher in studying a problem with certain object or objectives in view. It would be appropriate to mention that research projects are not susceptible to any one complete and inflexible sequence of steps and type of problems to be studied will determine the particular steps to be taken and their order too. However, the following steps provide useful procedural guidelines so far research methodology is concerned; 1- Tentative selection of the problem (i.e. topic of research ) 2- Initial survey of literature. 3- Defining or selecting the research problem. 4- Specification of the information required. 5- Design of the research project. 6- Sample design. 7- Collection of data or construction of questionnaire. 8- Execution of the project. 9- Analysis of data 10- Arriving at generalization; and 11- Preparation of the report.

DATA COLLECTION:-

When research problem has been defined or research plan has been chalked out, the task of data collection begins. There are two types of data1- PRIMARY DATA 2- SECONDARY DATA

PRIMARY DATA:
Primary data are those which are collected fresh and for the first time and original in character.

METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA:1234OBSERVATION METHOD INRTVIEW METHOD QUESTIONNAIRE SCHEDULES

SECONDARY DATA:Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone and this data has already been passed through a statistical process.

COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA:Secondary data means that are already available i.e., they refer to the data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes secondary data, then he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them. In this case he is certainly not confronted with the problems that are usually associated with the collection of original data. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished data. Usually published data are available in: Various publications of the control state are local government. Various publications of foreign government or of international bodies and their Subsidiary organization. Technical and trade journals, books, magazines and newspapers. Reports prepared by research scholars, unadvertised, economists etc in different fields. Public record and statistics, historical document, and other sources of published information. The sources of unpublished data are many; they may be found in diaries, letter, published biographies and autobiographies and also may be available with

scholarship and research workers, trade association, labour bureaus and public/ private individuals and organizations.

INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC:TRAINING:Employee training is a specialized function and is one of the fundamental operative functions of Human Resource Management. Acc to FLIPPO, Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job. It is a short-term educational process and utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which employees learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. Training refers to the organizations efforts to improve an individuals ability to perform a job or organizational role. It can be defined as a learning experience in which it seeks a relative permanent change in an individual that would improve his ability to perform the job.

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 is the process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is an application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It intends to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them for an intended job.

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.

PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING: MOTIVATION


Learning is enhanced when the learner is motivated. Learning experience must be designed so learners can see how it will help in achieving the goals of the organization. Effectiveness of training depends on motivation.

FEEDBACK
Training requires feedback. It is required so the trainee can correct his mistakes. Only getting information about how he is doing to achieve goals, he can correct the deviations. REINFORCEMENT The principle of reinforcement tells the behaviors that are positively reinforced are encouraged and sustained. It increases the likelihood that a learned behavior well be repeated. PRACTICE Practice increases a trainees performance. When the trainees practice actually, they gain confidence and are less likely to make errors or to forget what they have learned. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Individual training is costly. Group training is advantageous to the organization. Individuals vary in intelligence and aptitude from person to person. Training must be geared to the intelligence and aptitude of individual trainee.

OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING: TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY


An instructor can help employees increase their level of performance on their assignment. Increase in human performance leads to increase in the operational productivity and also the increase in the profit of the company.

TO IMPROVE QUALITY
Better-trained workers are less likely to make operational mistakes. It can be in relationship to the company or in reference to the intangible organizational employment atmosphere.

TO HELP A COMPANY FULFILL ITS FUTURE PERSONNEL NEEDS


The organizations having good internal training and development programmes will have to make less changes and adjustments. When the need arises, vacancies can be easily staffed.

TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE


An endless chain of positive reactions result from a well planned training programme.

TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY


Proper training can prevent industrial accidents. A safer atmosphere leads to more stable attitudes on part of the employees.

OBSOLESCENCE PREVENTION
Training and development programmes foster the initiative and creativity of employees and can help prevent manpower obsolescence.

PERSONAL GROWTH
Employees on a personal basis gain individually from their exposure to educational expressions. Training programmes give them wider awareness and skills.

NEED FOR TRAINING: To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for definite tasks. To assist employees to function more effectively in their present positions by exposing

them to new concepts. To build a line of competent people and prepare them to occupy more responsible

positions. To reduce the supervision time, wastage and spoilage of new material. To reduce the defects and minimize the industrial accidents. To ensure the economical output of the required quality. To prevent obsolescence. To promote individual and collective morale, responsibility and cooperative attitudes

TYPES OF TRAINING:Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly training programmes may be of the following types: Orientation training: Induction or orientation training seeks to adjust newly appointed employees to the work environment. Every new employee needs to be made fully familiar with his job, his superiors and subordinates and with the rules and regulations of the organization. Induction training creates self-confidence in the employees. It is also knows as pre-job training. It is brief and informative. Job training: It refers to the training provided with a view to increase the knowledge and skills of an employee for performance on the job. Employees may be taught the correct methods of handling equipment and machines used in a job. Such training helps to reduce accidents, waste and inefficiency in the performance of the job. Safety training: Training provided to minimize accidents and damage to machinery is known as safety training. It involves instruction in the use of safety devices and in safety consciousness. Promotional training: It involves training of existing employees to enable them to perform higher-level jobs. Employees with potential are selected and they are given training before their promotion, so that they do not find it difficult to shoulder the higher responsibilities of the new positions to which they are promoted. Refresher training: When existing techniques become obsolete due to the development of better techniques, employees have to be trained in the use of new methods and techniques.

With the passage of time employee may forget some of the methods of doing work. Refresher training is designed to revive and refresh the knowledge and to update the skills of the existing employees. Short-term refresher courses have become popular on account of rapid changes in technology and work methods. Refresher or re-training programmes are conducted to avoid obsolescence of knowledge and skills.

METHODS OF TRAINING:METHODS OF TRAINING

ON- THE- JOB METHODS

OFF- THE- JOB METHODS

Fig - Methods of Training

ON-THE-JOB TECHNIQUES:On the job techniques enables managers to practice management skills, make mistakes and learn from their mistakes under the guidance of an experienced, competent manager. Some of the methods are as: Job Rotation: It is also referred to as cross straining. It involves placing an employee on different jobs for periods of time ranging from a few hours to several weeks. At lower job levels, it normally consumes a short period, such as few hours or one or two days. At higher job levels, it may consume much larger periods because staff trainees may be learning complex functions and responsibilities. Job rotation for managers usually involves temporary assignments that may range from several months to one or more years in various departments, plants and offices. Job rotation for trainees involves several short-term assignments, that touch a variety of skills and gives the trainees a greater understanding of how various work areas function.

For middle and upper level management, it serves a slightly different function. At this stage, it involves lateral promotions, which last for one or more years. It involves a move to different work environment so that manager may develop competence in general management decisionmaking skills. Enlarged and enriched job responsibilities: By giving an employee added job duties, and increasing the autonomy and responsibilities associated with the job, the firm allows an employee to learn a lot about the job, department and organization. Job instruction training: It is also known as step-by-step training. Here, the trainer explains 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. In simple words, it involves preparation, presentation, performance, and tryout and follow up. Coaching: The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coach in training the individual. The supervisor provides the feedback to the trainee on his performance and offers him some suggestions for improvement. Often the trainee shares some duties and responsibilities of the coach and relives him of his burden. A drawback is that the trainee may not have the freedom or opportunity to express his own ideas. Committee assignments: Here in, a group of trainees are given and asked to solve an actual organizational problem. The trainees solve the problem jointly. This develops team work and group cohesiveness feelings amongst the trainees.

OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING:It includes anything performed away from the employees job area or immediate work area. Two broad categories of it are: IN HOUSE PROGRAMMES These are conducted within the organizations own training facility; either by training specialists from HR department or by external consultant or a combination of both. OFF-SITE PROGRAMMES It is held elsewhere and sponsored by an educational institution, a professional association, a government agency or an independent training and development firm. The various off- the- job-training programmes are as follows: Vestibule training: Herein, actual work conditions are simulated in a classroom. Material, files and equipment those are used in actual job performance are also used in training. This type of training is commonly used for training personnel for clerical and semiskilled jobs. The duration of this training ranges from few 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 behavior in imaginary situations. This method involves action doing and practice. The participants play the role of certain characters, such as production manager, HR manager, foreman, workers etc. This method is mostly used for developing interpersonal interactions and relations. Lecture method: The lecture is a traditional and direct

method of instruction. The instruction organizes the material and gives it to the 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 this method is that it is direct and can be used for a large group of trainees.

Conference or discussion: It is a method in training the

clerical, professional and supervisory personnel. It involves a group of people who pose ideas, examine and share facts and data, test assumptions and draw conclusions, all of which contribute to the improvement of job performance. It has an advantage that it involves twoway communication and hence feedback is provided. The participants feel free to speak in small groups. Success depends upon the leadership qualities of the person who leads the group.

Programmed instruction: This method has become

popular in recent years. The subject matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned sequential units. These units are arranged from simple to mere complex levels of instructions. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions or filling the blanks. This method is expensive and time consuming.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:Executives are the people who shape the policies, make the decisions and see their implementation in any business organization. They are the president, the vice-president, the managing director, works manager, plant superintendent, controller, treasurer, office managers, engineers, directors of functions such as purchasing, research, personnel, legal, marketing etc. Executive development may be stated as the application of planned efforts for raising the performance standards of high level managers, and for improving the attitudes and activities that enter into or influence their work and their work relations.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:Following are the steps, which are involved in the development process of executives:

executives.

OBJECTIVES

The first and foremost step is to define the long- term objectives of training and development of

STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS

An inventory of managers is taken with special focus on their strength in terms of managerial skills and other attributes. Their unique capabilities, specialist knowledge and achievements are listed down against each. A comparison with the requirement of the organization will bring the gap in knowledge and skills of existing executive. This is the weakness. LONG- RANGE PLANS Here the management prepares long-term training and development plans for their executives, which include the annual training targets, the annual budgets and the specific area of training. SHORT- TERM PROGRAMME

This programme specify the duration, starting time, ending time, number of executives being trained, identify the resources etc. IMPLEMENTATION The training programme envisaged before is put into operation. The actual training is initiated by proper timetable and other arrangements. EVALUATION

In this step, the effectiveness of the executive training programme is evaluated by measuring the improved performance of executives who underwent the programme, on their job. There are various criteria of measuring effectiveness such as validity, reliability etc.

EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING:An Investor in People evaluates the investment in training and development to assess achievement and improve future effectiveness. Kearns (1994) suggests that there are four groups of measures of training effectiveness, which are used by organization. The groups are as follows: No Measurement Subjective Measures Qualitative Measures Objective Measures

The first group, in which no real measurement occurs, includes activities undertaken as an Act of Faith, where no form of measurement is attempted, such as initiatives to improve communications in organization, which seem to make people feel good and appear to have worked in some intangible manner. The second group includes subjective responses from trainees/course delegates, as exemplified by the Happy Sheet. The main question asked is about how individuals feel after the training. Organizations often make the assumption that positive responses indicate training success and therefore value to the organization. However, course delegates may well give strong positive response scores for a number of reasons, including the presentational skills of the trainer, the quality of the venue, and the feel good factor of indulging in a creative work group, and so on. Quality measures appear to be more objective than the previous group, but are often flawed by subjectivity as well. They are typified by questionnaires asking delegates to put a value on the likely benefits of a training programme. Objective measures are the only really meaningful ones. However, they challenge the provider of training to demonstrate how their training activities feed through to the bottom line: in terms of return on investment and return on the capital employed. There has often been an assumption, in

times past, that training somehow justifies itself, because it is all about developing people. However, it is incumbent on organizations to look critically at the ways in which they evaluate their training activities, lest they fall prey to the subject approach and are badly caught out when a rigorous analysis of all the functions of the organizations business is called for. A desirable, if not essential, characteristic of all training programmes is a built-in provision for evaluation. The four main dimensions of evaluation are: EVALUATION OF CONTEXTUAL FACTORS Training effectiveness depends not only on what happens during training, but also on what happens before the actual training and what happens after the training has formally ended. Evaluation should, therefore, be done of both the pre-training and post-training work. Pretraining work includes proper identification of training needs, developing criteria of who should be sent for training, how many at a time and in what sequence, helping people to volunteer for training, building expectations of prospective participants from training etc. Post- training work includes helping the concerned managers to plan to utilize the participants training, and provide the needed support to them, building linkages between the training section and the line departments and so on. EVALUATION OF TRAINING INPUTS

This involves the evaluation of the training curriculum and its sequencing. EVALUATION OF THE TRAINING PROCESS

The climate of the training organization, the relationship between participants and trainers, the general attitude, and approaches of the trainers, training methods, etc are some of the important elements of the training process which also needs to be evaluated. EVALUATION OF TRAINING OUTCOMES

Measuring the carry-home value of a training programme in terms of what has been achieved and how much is the main task of evaluation. This, however, is a complex technical and professional task. Benefits of a training programme are not obvious and

They are not readily measurable. Payoffs from training are intangible and rather slow to become apparent. A central problem is the absence of objective criteria and specific definitions of relevant variables by which to measure the effectiveness either of specific programmes or changes in employee behavior. Nevertheless, the good personnel managers do make an effort to systematically appraise the benefits and results of their programmes. In job-related training, the objective is to train people for specific job skills so that their productivity may increase. Evaluation can be done either to the direct criterion of increase in output or to the indirect criteria of decrease in cost, breakage or rejects. Even more indirect are measures that point out changes in absenteeism or turnover. The most difficult problems of evaluation lie in the area of human relations skill training, which is given to the supervisors and middle- level managers. Supervisory and managerial training programmes are, for this reason, less amenable to objective review procedures. Much subjectivity enters into evaluations of these programmes, since exact standards and criteria are hard to devise.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN KARAM Industries:KARAM Industries follows the philosophy to establish and build a strong performance driven culture with greater accountability and responsibility at all levels. To that extent the Company views capability as a combination of the right people in the right jobs, supported by the right processes, systems, structure and metrics. The Company organizes various training and development programmes, both in-house and at other places in order to enhance the skills and efficiency of its employees. These training and development programmes are conducted at various levels i.e. for workers and for officers etc.

IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS:-

MANAGEMENT STAFF The Performance Appraisal form of the organization has a section in which the training and development needs are filed up. The person whom the concerned employee is reporting fills the Performance Appraisal form annually. Such person may be a branch head or department head. Identification of training need is done at the Executive Office (EO) level for the managers through the Performance Appraisal forms annually and the records are maintained at the Executive Office. Managers are nominated for the various training courses by the Executives Office. Managers may also be nominated to certain training programmes from the branch if the subjects covered are found to be of interest or if they offer a learning opportunity in some emerging areas of knowledge. Training needs for the department through their Performance Appraisal forms identifies the officers, which are filled in by the department head. The Performance Appraisal forms thus give the emerging training needs. This exercise is carried out annually. STAFF AND WORKERS Training needs for staff and workers are identified based on: Companys strategy and policy. Organizational Thrust Areas. New Emerging Areas.

This together gives the consolidated system of needs that is prepared by the Personnel Officer and approved by the Department Head.

PREPARATION OF TRAINING PLAN:-

On the basis of identified training needs, the annual training calendar is prepared by the Personnel officer and approved by the Personnel Head. Annual Training Budget is prepared by Branch Personnel Head and is approved by Executive Office. This gives the final list of training activities in a particular year. It is attempted to carry out all the programmes to fulfill the identified needs. The Head of the Personnel Department monitors the actual training conducted vis--vis the identified training needs on a monthly basis. IMPARTING OF TRAINING Actual training is imparted with the help of in-house and outside agencies. The selection of these agencies is done on the basis of reputation; programmes offered by them, past experience and feedback received from the earlier participants. Training is also imparted by nominating the concerned employee for an external training programme. All records of the training are maintained at branch as per Record of Training in the Personnel folder and the same is intimated to the Executive Office Personnel through the Monthly Personnel Report. FEEDBACK A feedback is taken from the participants through a questionnaire on the programme and their impressions in order to further improve upon the same. There are three such questionnaires available and one of these is used depending upon the nature of the training programme and the level of participants. Also, a person from the personnel department sits through the final session of the programme and takes the verbal feedback about the programme.

INDUCTION TRAINING:-

STAFF/ OFFICERS/ MANAGERS This is carried out as the very first step for any new entrant into the branch at the Staff/ Officer/ Manager level. The department prepares a schedule for the employee as per which he is required to spend specific time in each department. During such period, he is reporting to the respective department head. The objective of the induction programme is to familiarize the participant to the function of different department. The copies of the same are sent to the General Manager and all concerned. At the end of the induction, the trainee has to submit a report to the Personnel Department. WORKERS In the case of a new entrant, he is called in General shift for 2 days for training under a senior worker to familiarize him with the welfare facilities like card punching, canteen, public conveniences, rules and regulations, standing orders, shift timings, spell outs, medical facilities, leave procedures etc. After two days of training, he is deployed in the concerned department. The Personnel Officer organizes this. MANAGEMENT TRAINEES TRAINING Management trainees are given a fortnight of induction programme. Corporate HR advises it as per Management Trainee Training programme designed by them. Thereafter, a detailed training programme is carried out whereby the incumbent is to understand in depth of working of each department at various locations as per the programme given by the Corporate HR. Corporate HR maintains all relevant records pertaining to Management Trainees training at Bangalore.

TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS

For each training programme conducted in-house for MUSCO Lalpur branch personnel, a training brochure is developed. The brochure developed consists of the following information: Programme objectives: Need of the training and what are the objectives that this training aims to achieve, what likely outcomes are expected to come out of impact of this training. Programme content: Topics being covered during the training. Methodology adopted. Programme faculty. Personnel to be covered. Training methodology. Training effectiveness criteria and scale.

The training effectiveness is measured by measurement of the achievement of the objectives. This lists down the measurement indicators, achievement of which will ensure that programme objectives are achieved. A person gets nominated for the training programme in the following two ways: a) b) Training programme flowing from the training needs. Training programme for testing out the training/ increased awareness/ general

information/ omnibus training types etc.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES FLOWING FROM TRAINING NEEDS:The programmes are divided into three broad categories: Functional Behavioral General/ Omnibus programmes 1. Functional: The outcome of the training is measured by comparing the data pre-training and post-training. A scale is developed for measuring the effectiveness of training based on the % achievement of the objectives. 2. Behavioral: The effectiveness of the training of this nature is measured annually. This is seen through the training need identification for the coming year for the employee. If the training need is repeated there, then the training provided is taken as 3. Ineffective. If the training need is repeated but with focus on a part of the need, then the training is partially effective. If not repeated, then the training is effective. 4. General: These are the training needs flowing directly from the organizational needs. Examples of these can be ISO 9000 training, ISO 14000 training and any awareness training. These are omnibus training programmes, which are run for a large number of employees. The effectiveness of the training is measured by: - Achievement of those organizational objectives within the time lines. - Number of audit issues raised on the areas covered in the training. - Any other such thing as defined in the training brochure. The effectiveness of the outside training programme is measured on the same line as above. However, no detailed brochure is prepared for the same. The measurement criterion for the programmer is defined in the beginning of the programme and effectiveness measured against the same. A consolidated effectiveness report of the training programme is prepared at the end of the year. The programmes that are found to be ineffective are reworked.

Training programme for testing out the training:Also there are training programmes, which are not flowing directly from the training needs measurement of effectiveness of the training is not needed to be measured.

RECOMMENDATIONS:Based on the data collected through the questionnaire and interactions with the Officers and Workers of KARAM Industries the following recommendations are made for consideration: The organization may utilize both subjective and objective approach for the training programmes. The organization may consider deputing each employee to attend at least one training programmes each year. The In-house training programmes will be beneficial to the organization as well as employees since it will help employees to attend their official work while undergoing the training. The organization can also arrange part time training programmes in the office premises for short durations, spanning over a few days, in order to avoid any interruption in the routine work. The organization can arrange the training programmes department wise in order to give focused attention towards the departmental requirements.

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS:The major findings of the project are enumerated as follows: Training is considered as a positive step towards augmentation of the knowledge base by the respondents. The objectives of the training programmes were broadly known to the respondents prior to attending them. The training programmes were adequately designed to cater to the developmental needs of the respondents. Some of the respondents suggested that the time period of the training programmes were less and thus need to be increased. Some of the respondents also suggested that use of latest training methods will enhance the effectiveness of the training programmes. Some respondents believe that the training sessions could be made more exciting if the sessions had been more interactive and in line with the current practices in the market. The training aids used were helpful in improving the overall effectiveness of the training programmes. The training programmes were able to improve on-the-job efficiency. Some respondents also recommended that the number of training programmes be increased.
