    SYNOPSIS OF THE REPORTTRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that

    randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in structured

    format. It is concerned with the structure and delivery of acquisition of knowledge to

    improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organization. Therefore, training is a key to

    optimizing utilization human intellectual technological and entrepreneurial skills.

    There are four phases of training in Sahara India-Training need analysis, Trainingdesign, Training implementation and Training evaluation. Training evaluation is the

    most important part of training process which refers to activities aimed at finding out the

    effectiveness of training programme after they are conducted, against the objective for

    which such programmes were organized. Training evaluation techniques give us solution

    to answer questions like where was the capability level of learners before the programme

    and where is it now, what was intended to be achieved by particular programme and

    where is really achieved now, and what is the monitory value of training outcome

    against the cost incurred for conducting the training programme. The key issues involve

    staffing policies selecting and retaining talented employee, training and development

    whilst encouraging employees to be innovative and creative, culture barriers, and legal

    frame work. Sahara India Pariwar provides soft skill development training to their

    employees. But still they need to work on providing product/process development

    training. To evaluate the training program, questionnaire is the most popular method in

    Sahara India.

    Training initiatives and programs have become a priority for Human Resources. As

    business markets change due to an increase in technology initiatives, companies need to

    spend more time and money on training employees. In todays business climate

    employee development is critical to corporate success and organizations are investing

    more in their employees training and development needs.

    INTRODUCTION OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that

    randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in structured

    format.

    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT DEFINED

    It is concerned with the structure and delivery of acquisition of knowledge to improve

    the efficiency and effectiveness of organization. It is concerned with improving the

    existing skills and exploring the potential skills of the individual i.e. upgrading the

    employees skills and extending their knowledge. Therefore, training is a key to

    optimizing utilization human intellectual technological and entrepreneurial skills

    Training and Development referred to as:

    Acquisition and sharpening of employees capabilities that is required to perform

    various obligations, tasks and functions.

    Developing the employees capabilities so that they may be able to discover their

    potential and exploit them to full their own and organizational development purpose.

    Developing an organizational culture where superior-subordinate relationship, team

    work, and collaboration among different sub units are strong and contribute to

    organizational wealth, dynamism and pride to the employees.

    Development defined

    It helps the individual handle future responsibilities, with less emphasis on present job

    duties.

    Introduction of training

    It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills,

    concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the performance of

    employees.

    INPUTS IN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    Any training and development programme must contain inputs which enable the

    participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look into

    the distant future.

    Skills: Training is imparting skills to employees. A worker needs skills to operate

    machines, and use other equipments with least damage and scrap. This is a basic skill

    without which the operator will not be able to function. Employees, particularly

    supervisors and executives, need interpersonal skills.

    Education: The purpose of education is to teach theoretical concepts and develop a

    sense of reasoning and judgment.

    Page 5

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    6/82

    Development: It is less skill-oriented but stresses on knowledge. Knowledge about

    business environment, management principles and techniques, human relations, specific

    industry analysis is useful for better management of a company.

    Ethics: There is need for imparting greater ethical orientation to a training and

    development programme. Ethical attitude help managements make better decisions

    which are in the interests of the public, the employees and in the long term-the company

    itself.

    Attitudinal Changes:Attitude represents feelings and beliefs of individuals towards

    others. Attitude affects motivation, satisfaction and job commitment. Negative attitude

    need to be converting into positive attitude. Attitude must be changed so that employees

    feel committed to the organization, are motivated for better performance, and derive

    satisfaction from their jobs and the work environment.

    Decision making and problem solving skills: It focus on methods and techniques

    for making organization decision-making and solving work related problems.

    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.

    Individual objectives help employees in achieving their personal goals, which in

    turn, enhances the individual contribution to an organization.

    an opportunity and broad structure for the development of human resources technical

    and behavioral skills in an organization. It also helps the employees in attaining personal

    growth.

    Development of skills of employees Training and Development helps in

    increasing the job knowledge and skills of employees at each level. It helps to expand

    the horizons of human intellect and an overall personality of the employee

    MODELS OF TRAINING

    Training is a sub-system of the organization because the departments such as, marketing

    & sales, HR, production, finance, etc depends on training for its survival. Training is a

    transforming process that requires some input and in turn it produces output in the form

    of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs).

    THE TRAINING SYSTEM

    The three model of training are:

    1. System Model

    2. Instructional System Development Model

    3. Transitional model

    SYSTEM MODEL TRAINING

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    10/82

    The system model consists of five phases and should be repeated on a regular basis to

    make further improvements. The training should achieve the purpose of helping

    employee to perform their work to required standards. The steps involved in System

    Model of training are as follows:

    1. ANALYZE and identify the training needs i.e. to analyze the department, job,

    employees requirement, who needs training, what do they need to learn, estimating

    training cost, etc The next step is to develop a performance measure on the basis of

    which actual performance would be evaluated.

    2. DESIGN and provide training to meet identified needs. This step requires developing

    objectives of training, identifying the learning steps, sequencing and structuring the

    contents

    3. DEVELOP- This phase requires listing the activities in the training program that

    will assist the participants to learn, selecting delivery method, examining the training

    Page 10

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    11/82

    material, validating information to be imparted to make sure it accomplishes all the

    goals & objectives.

    4. IMPLEMENTING is the hardest part of the system because one wrong step can

    lead to the failure of whole training program.

    5. EVALUATING each phase so as to make sure it has achieved its aim in terms of

    subsequent work performance. Making necessary amendments to any of the previous

    stage in order to remedy or improve failure practices

    TRANSITIONAL MODEL

    Transitional model focuses on the organization as a whole. The outer loop describes

    the vision, mission and values of the organization on the basis of which training

    model i.e. inner loop is executed.

    VISION focuses on the milestones that the organization would like to achieve after

    the defined point of time. A vision statement tells that where the organization sees

    itself few years down the line. A vision may include setting a role mode, or bringing

    some internal transformation, or may be promising to meet some other deadlines.

    MISSION explain the reason of organizational existence. It identifies the position

    in the community. The reason of developing a mission statement is to motivate,

    inspire, and inform the employees regarding the organization.The mission statement

    tells about the identity that how the organization would like to be viewed by the

    customers, employees, and all other stakeholders.

    VALUES is the translation of vision and mission into communicable ideals. It

    reflects the deeply held values of the organization and is independent of current

    industry environment. For example, values may include social responsibility,

    excellent customer service, etc

    Page 11

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    12/82

    The mission, vision, and values precede the objective in the inner loop. This model

    considers the organization as a whole. The objective is formulated keeping these

    three things in mind and then the training model is further implemented

    INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (ISD) MODEL

    Instructional System Development model was made to answer the training problems.

    This model is widely used now-a-days in the organization because it is concerned

    with the training need on the job performance. Training objectives are defined on the

    basis of job responsibilities and job description and on the basis of the defined

    objectives individual progress is measured. This model also helps in determining and

    Page 12

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    13/82

    developing the favorable strategies, sequencing the content, and delivering media for

    the types of training objectives to be achieved. The Instructional System

    Development model comprises of five stages:

    1. ANALYSIS This phase consist of training need assessment, job analysis, and

    target audience analysis.

    2. PLANNING This phase consist of setting goal of the learning outcome,

    instructional objectives that measures behavior of a participant after the training,

    types of training material, media selection, methods of evaluating the trainee, trainer

    and the training program, strategies to impart knowledge i.e. selection of content,

    sequencing of content, etc

    3. DEVELOPMENT This phase translates design decisions into training material.

    It consists of developing course material for the trainer including handouts,

    Page 13

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    14/82

    workbooks, visual aids, demonstration props, etc, course material for the trainee

    including handouts of summary.

    4. EXECUTION This phase focuses on logistical arrangements, such as arranging

    speakers, equipments, benches, podium, food facilities, cooling, lighting, parking,

    and other training accessories.

    5. EVALUATION The purpose of this phase is to make sure that the training

    program has achieved its aim in terms of subsequent work performance. This phase

    consists of identifying strengths and weaknesses and making necessary amendments

    to any of the previous stage in order to remedy or improve failure practices.

    The ISD model is a continuous process that lasts throughout the training program. It

    also highlights that feedback is an important phase throughout the entire training

    program. In this model, the output of one phase is an input to the next phase.

    PROCESS OF TRAINING

    TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS (TNA)/TRAINING NEED

    IDENTIFICATION (TNI)

    An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of effective

    training. The purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a gap

    between what is required for effective performance and present level of performance.

    16/82

    Training Need arises at three levels:

    Organizational level

    Individual level

    Operational level

    Corporate need and training need are interdependent because the organization

    performance ultimately depends on the performance of its individual employee and its

    subgroup.

    Organizational level Training need analysis at organizational level focuses on

    strategic planning, business need, and goals. It starts with the assessment of internal

    environment of the organization such as, procedures, structures, policies, strengths, and

    weaknesses and external environment such as opportunities and threats. After doing the

    Page 16

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    17/82

    SWOT analysis, weaknesses can be dealt with the training interventions, while strengths

    can further be strengthened with continued training. Threats can be reduced by

    identifying the areas where training is required. And, opportunities can be exploited by

    balancing it against costs. For this approach to be successful, the HR department of the

    company requires to be involved in strategic planning. In this planning, HR develops

    strategies to be sure that the employees in the organization have the required Knowledge,

    Skills, and Attributes (KSAs) based on the future KSAs requirements at each level.

    Individual levelTraining need analysis at individual level focuses on each and every

    individual in the organization. At this level, the organization checks whether an

    employee is performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation. If the

    difference between the expected performance and actual performance comes out to be

    positive, then certainly there is a need of training. However, individual competence can

    also be linked to individual need. The methods that are used to analyze the individual

    need are:

    Appraisal and performance review

    Peer appraisal

    Competency assessments

    Subordinate appraisal

    Client feedback

    Customer feedback

    Self-assessment or self-appraisal

    Operational level Training Need analysis at operational level focuses on the work

    that is being assigned to the employees. The job analyst gathers the information on

    Page 17

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    18/82

    whether the job is clearly understood by an employee or not. He gathers this information

    through technical interview, observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking the

    closed ended as well as open ended questions, etc. Today, jobs are dynamic and keep

    changing over the time. Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analyst

    also gathers information on the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be required

    in the future. Based on the information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is done.

    Benefits of need assessment

    Training programs are designed to achieve specific goals that meet felt needs. There are

    many benefits of need assessment:

    1. Trainers may be informed about the broader need of the trainees.

    2. Trainers are able to pitch their course inputs closer to the specific needs of the

    trainees.

    3. Assessment makes training department more accountable and more clearly linked to

    other human resource activities, which make the training programs easier to sell to

    line managers.

    TRAINING-DESIGN

    The design of the training program can be undertaken only when a clear training

    objective has been produced. The training objective clears what goal has to be achieved

    by the end of training program i.e. what the trainees are expected to be able to do at the

    end of their training. Training objectives assist trainers to design the training program.

    The trainer Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical,

    interpersonal, judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.

    Page 18

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    19/82

    The trainees A good training design requires close scrutiny of the trainees and their

    profiles. Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the

    important factors that affect training design.

    Cost of training It is one of the most important considerations in designing a training

    programme. A training programme involves cost of different types. These may be in the

    form of direct expenses incurred in training, cost of training material to be provided,

    arrangement of physical facilities and refreshment, etc. Besides these expenses the

    organization has to bear indirect cost in the form of loss of production during training

    period. Ideally, a training programme must be able to generate more revenues than the

    cost involved.

    Training climate A good training climate comprises of ambience, tone, feelings,

    positive perception for training program, etc. Therefore, when the climate is favorable

    nothing goes wrong but when the climate is unfavorable, almost everything goes wrong.

    20/82

    TRAINING-DESIGN

    Trainees learning style the learning style, age, experience, educational background

    of trainees must be kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the

    program.

    Training strategies Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer

    translates it into specific training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list

    of about what must be included, what could be included.

    Page 20

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    21/82

    Training topics After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be

    delivered. Trainers break the content into headings, topics, ad modules. These topics and

    modules are then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

    Sequence the contents Contents are then sequenced in a following manner:

    From simple to complex

    Topics are arranged in terms of their relative importance

    From known to unknown

    From specific to general

    Dependent relationship

    Training tactics Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program

    becomes clear, trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methodsor techniques. The method selection depends on the following factors:

    Trainees background

    Time allocated

    Style preference of trainer

    Level of competence of trainer

    Availability of facilities and resources, etc

    Page 21

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    22/82

    Support facilities IT can be segregated into printed and audio visual. The various

    requirements in a training program are white boards, flip charts, markers, etc.

    Constraints The various constraints that lay in the trainers mind are:

    Time

    Accommodation, facilities and their availability

    Furnishings and equipments

    Budget

    Design of the training, etc

    TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION

    To put training program into effect according to definite plan or procedure is called

    training implementation. Training implementation is the hardest part of the system

    because one wrong step can lead to the failure of whole training program. Even the best

    training program will fail due to one wrong action. Training implementation can be

    segregated into:

    Practical administrative arrangements

    Carrying out of the training

    Once the staff, course, content, equipments, topics are ready, the training is

    implemented. Completing training design does not mean that the work is done because

    implementation

    Page 22

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    23/82

    phase requires continual adjusting, redesigning, and refining. Preparation is the most

    important factor to taste the success. Therefore, following are the factors that are kept in

    mind while implementing training program:

    The trainer The trainer need to be prepared mentally before the delivery of content.

    Trainer prepares materials and activities well in advance. The trainer also set grounds

    before meeting with participants by making sure that he is comfortable with course

    content and is flexible in his approach.

    Physical set-up Good physical set up is pre-requisite for effective and successful

    training program because it makes the first impression on participants. Classrooms

    should not be very small or big but as nearly square as possible. This will bring people

    together both physically and psychologically. Also, right amount of space should be

    allocated to every participant.

    Establishing rapport with participants There are various ways by which a

    trainer can establish good rapport with trainees by:

    Greeting participants simple way to ease those initial tense moments

    Encouraging informal conversation

    Remembering their first name

    Pairing up the learners and have them familiarized with one another

    Listening carefully to trainees comments and opinions

    Telling the learners by what name the trainer wants to be addressed

    Getting to class before the arrival of learners

    Starting the class promptly at the scheduled time

    Page 23

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    24/82

    Using familiar examples

    Varying his instructional techniques

    Using the alternate approach if one seems to bog down

    Reviewing the agenda At the beginning of the training program it is very important

    to review the program objective. The trainer must tell the participants the goal of the

    program, what is expected out of trainers to do at the end of the program, and how the

    program will run. The following information needs to be included:

    Kinds of training activities

    Schedule

    Setting group norms

    Housekeeping arrangements

    Flow of the program

    Handling problematic situations

    In general programme implementation involves action on the following lines:

    Deciding the location and organizing training and other facilities.

    Scheduling the training programme.

    Conducting the programme.

    Monitoring the progress of the trainees.

    TRAINING EVALUATION

    The process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Training

    evaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation

    ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their respective

    workplaces, or to the regular work routines.

    Purposes of Training Evaluation

    The five main purposes of training evaluation are:

    Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives and

    linking it to learning outcomes.

    Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge, transfer

    of knowledge at the work place, and training

    Page 25

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    26/82

    Control: It helps in controlling the training program because if the training is not

    effective, then it can be dealt with accordingly.

    Power games: At times, the top management (higher authoritative employee) uses the

    evaluative data to manipulate it for their own benefits.

    Intervention: It helps in determining that whether the actual outcomes are aligned with

    the expected outcomes.

    Functions of evaluation:

    There are basically two functions of evaluation:

    1. Qualitative evaluations is an assessment process how well did we do?

    Page 26

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    27/82

    2. Quantitative evaluation is an assessment process that answers the question How

    much did we do?

    Principles of Training Evaluation:

    Training need should be identified and reviewed concurrently with the business and

    personal development plan process.

    a) Evaluation must be continuous.

    b) Evaluation must be specific.

    c) Evaluation must be based on objective methods and standards.

    d) There should be correlation to the needs of the business and the individual.

    e) Organizational, group and individual level training need should be identified and

    evaluated.

    f) Techniques of evaluation should be appropriate.

    g) The evaluation function should be in place before the training takes place.

    h) The outcome of evaluation should be used to inform the business and training

    process.

    Need of evaluation of Training:

    Training cost can be significant in any business. Most organizations are prepared to

    incur these cost because they expect that their business to benefit from employees

    Page 27

  • 7/30/2019 21988859 Project of Hr on Sahara India

    28/82

    development and progress. Whether business has benefited can be assessed by

    evaluation training.

    There are basically four parties involved in evaluating the result of any training.

    Trainer, Trainee, Training and Development department and Line Manager.

    The Trainee wants to confirm that the course has met personal expectations and

    satisfied any learning objectives set by the T & D department at the beginning of the

    programme.

    The Trainer concern is to ensure that the training that has been provided is effective or

    not.

    Training and Development want to know whether the course has made the best use of

    the resources available.

    The Line manager will be seeking reassurance that the time hat trainee has spent in

    attending training results in to value and how deficiency in knowledge and skill

    redressed.

    The problem for many organizations is not so much why training should be evaluated

    but how. Most of the organizations overlook evaluation because financial benefits are

    difficult to describe in concrete terms.

    The process of evaluation is central to its effectiveness and helps to ensure that:

    Whether training budget is well spent

    To judge the performance of employee as individual and team.

    To establish culture of continuous learning and improvement.

    PROCESS OF TRAINING EVALUATION

    Before Training: The learners skills and knowledge are assessed before the training

    program. During the start of training, candidates generally perceive it as a waste of

    resources because at most of the times candidates are unaware of the objectives and

    learning outcomes of the program. Once aware, they are asked to give their opinions on

    the methods used and whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences and

    learning style

    During Training: It is the phase at which instruction is started. This phase usually

    consist of short tests at regular intervals.

    After Training: It is the phase when learners skills and knowledge are assessed again

    to measure the effectiveness of the training. This phase is designed to determine whether

    training has had the desired effect at individual department and organizational levels.

    There are various evaluation techniques for this phase.

    Techniques of evaluation

    The various methods of training evaluation are:

    Observation

    Questionnaire

    Interview

    Self diaries

    Self recording of specific incidents

    Donald Kirkpatrick developed four level models to assess training effectiveness.

    According to him evaluation always begins with level first and should move through

    other levels in sequence.

    Reaction Level: The purpose is to measure the individual reaction to the training

    activity. The benefit of Reaction level evaluation is to improve Training and

    Development activity efficiency and effectiveness.

    Learning Level: The basic purpose is to measure the learning transfer achieved by

    the training and development activity. Another purpose is to determine to what

    extent the individual increased their knowledge, skills and changed their attitudes by

    applying quantitative or qualitative assessment methods

    Behavior Level: The basic purpose is to measure changes in behavior of the

    individual as a result of the training and development activity and how well the

    enhancement of knowledge, skill, attitudes has prepared than for their role.

    Result Level: The purpose is to measure the contribution of training and

    development to the achievement of the business/operational goals.

    38/82

    DATA COLLECTION

    Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and

    collecting business data - for example as part of a process improvement or similar

    project.

    Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often

    formalized through a data collection Plan which often contains the following activity.

    1. Pre collection activity Agree goals, target data, definitions, methods

    2. Collection data collection

    3. Present Findings usually involves some form of sorting analysis and/or

    presentation.

    There are two methods of data collection which are discussed below:

    PRIMARY DATA SECONDARY DATA

    QUESTIONNAIRE INTERVIEW EXTERNAL INTERNET

    INTERNAL

    SOURCE SOURCE

    PRIMARY DATA

    In primary data collection, you collect the data yourself using methods such as

    interviews and questionnaires. The key point here is that the data you collect is unique to

    you and your research and, until you publish, no one else has access to it.

    I have tried to collect the data using methods such as interviews and questionnaires. The

    key point here is that the data collected is unique and research and, no one else has

    access to it. It is done to get the real scenario and to get the original data of present.

    DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUE

    Questionnaire:

    Questionnaire are a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and often

    require many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced. The features

    included in questionnaire are:

    Types of questions

    Length

    Interview:

    This technique is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons and

    motivations for peoples attitudes, preferences or behavior. The interview was done by

    asking a general question. I encourage the respondent to talk freely. I have used an

    unstructured format, the subsequent direction of the interview being determined by the

    respondents initial reply, and come to know what is its initial problem is.

    SAMPLING METHODOLOGY

    Sampling technique:

    Initially, a rough draft was prepared keeping in mind the objective of the research. A

    pilot study was done in order to know the accuracy of the questionnaire. The final

    questionnaire was arrived only after certain important changes were done. Thus my

    sampling came out to be judgmental and continent.

    Sampling Unit:

    The respondents who were asked to fill out questionnaires are the sampling units. These

    comprise of kartavyayogis of corporate HR,S ahara India Pariwar , who had attended

    the personality development workshop.

    Sampling Size: 20

    41/82

    SECONDARY DATA

    All methods of data collection can supply quantitative data (numbers, statistics or

    financial) or qualitative data (usually words or text). Quantitative data may often be

    presented in tabular or graphical form. Secondary data is data that has already been

    collected by someone else for a different purpose to yours.

    Need of using secondary data

    1. Data is of use in the collection of primary data.

    2. They are one of the cheapest and easiest means of access to information.

    3. Secondary data may actually provided enough information to resolve the problem

    being investigated.

    4. Secondary data can be a valuable source of new ideas that can be explored later

    through primary research.

    Limitation of secondary data

    1. May be outdated.

    2. No control over data collection.

    3. May not be reported in the required form.

    4. May not be reported in the required form.

    5. May not be very accurate.

    6. Collection for some other purpose.

    LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

    1. The study is limited to the Corporate HR, SAHARA INDIA PARIWAR

    LUCKNOW. So the study is subject to the limitation of area.

    2. The time period of the study was only two six weeks which may provide a deceptive

    picture in comparison of the study based on long run.

    3. Sampling size was of only 20, because only these people had attended soft skill

    development training.

    4. Corporate HR, Sahara India Pariwar only provides soft skill development training,

    not skill based (product/process) training. So how can one evaluate the skill based

    training is still unresolved.

    5. The study is based only on secondary & primary data so lack of keen observations

    and interactions were also the limiting factors in the proper conclusion of the study.
