Abstract

This is a state-or-art survey of the training functions in India. Data was collected from 49 organizations varying in size, turnover, product, technology, sector and geographic location. Major findings suggest one-third of the organizations have separate training departments manned by professionally trained managers. In two-third of the cases training functions are manned by those who do not have formal qualification for training functions. The training infrastructure is nominal and a very small portion (.017%) of the total budget of human resources is spent on training. Most organizations identify training needs through appraisal reports. More than two-third organizations have formal induction training, organize in-company training programmes and sponsor many more managers than supervisors and workers to external training programmes. Training feedback is taken seriously by most of the organizations.
