    INTRODUCTION

    Training is the corner stone of management. It makes employees more effective

    and productive. It is actively and intimated connected with all the personnel or

    managerial activities. It is the integral part of the whole management program with all itsmany activities functionally interrelated training is an ever present need for training men

    so that new and changed techniques may be taken advance and improvements affected in

    the old methods, which are woe fully inefficient.

    Training is a particle and vital necessity. It molds the employees attitudes and

    helps them to achieve a better corporation with the company and a greater loyalty to it.

    Moreover, it heightens the morale of the employees thereby reducing dissatisfaction,

    complaints and grievance absenteeism and also reduces the rate of turnover.

    The importance of training can be judged by the following points:

    1. Training enables the management to be dynamic and makes it potent

    enough to face the pressure of changing environments.

    2. An increase in skills usually results in both quantity and quality of

    output.

    3. It leads to job satisfaction and heightens the morale of the people.

    4. Trained executives want more freedom, autonomy and less supervision.

    5. With the help of trained personal available, the enterprise can have both

    stability and flexibility.

    6. Effective managers recognize that training is a continuous process and

    not a one short activity. New problems, new procedures, new

    equipments, new knowledge and new jobs are constantly evolving

    hence there is need for employee training.

    The present study is carried out in Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited, Neyveli

    having more than *18,000 employees. There is a separate training division and it is

    mandatory in the part of the management to evaluate the performance of this division.

    The study is on How Training needs of employees are assessed.

    PURPOSE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    Training development serves important purpose other than providing an effective

    way to obtain needed skills at a higher level for example, firms that include training as a

    way of career mobility may use it to communicate fairness and commitment by the firmto its employees internalize the norms of the organization, particularly as job structures

    move away from direct supervising or control mechanisms. The major purpose served by

    T&D of managerial and non-managerial employees are described below.

    1. Performance improvement

    The mail purpose of training is to improve individual and organizational

    performance. When employees are unable to perform in accordance with expected

    standards due to deficiency in skills, training often becomes instrumental in minimizing

    those problems. For example, an otherwise competent manager may be ineffective due to

    lack of interpersonal skills. Imparting interpersonal skills training may help the manager

    perform more effectively on the job. Training is also useful to help a new recruit or a

    newly promoted individual to reach performance standards sooner than they would

    otherwise. Often, organizations hire new employees who have the aptitude to learn but

    may not be immediately ready for the job. After hiring organizations train these

    newcomers to perform specific tasks. By improving the job performance of employees,

    training contributes to organizational performance improvement also. However, not all

    performance problems may be due to skills deficiency and therefore training may not be a

    solution to motivational problems resulting from dissatisfaction with the immediate

    superior.

    2. Updating skills

    Technological advances result in changes in the nature of jobs. This results in new

    skill demands for these jobs to be performed successfully. Employees who fail to adapt to

    change in the nature of jobs and the way jobs are performed become obsolete. Managerial

    obsolescence is the failure to keep peace with new methods and processes that enable

    employee skills to meet the challenges of technological advancements and prevents

    managerial obsolescence. Training and development programmers concern all aspects of

    an organization like finance, manufacturing general management, IT, etc..

    2

    3. Solving problems

    Organizations face several problems such as scheduling delays, inventories

    shortages, absenteeism, employee turnover, union management dispute, etc.. Training

    provides one means for solving these problems.

    4. New employee orientation

    New employees come to the organization with certain expectations. They

    experience anxiety and discomfort when they find that reality is different from heir

    expectations. Their interactions with other organizational members lead them to form

    impressions about the organization and its employees. Moreover, for some time, the new

    employees perform below their potential since they are still getting familiar with the job

    and with the organization. Orientation training helps new comers adjust faster to the

    organization in their run-up to become fully functional members of the firm.

    Preparation for promotion

    Promotion serves to motivate and retain personnel. When people perceive career

    growth opportunities in a firm, they are attracted to jobs in the firm. Organizations

    designs their training and management development programs to prepare and enable

    employees to acquire the skills needed for a promotion. Thus, T&D facilitates employee

    movement from the present job with higher responsibilities.

    5. Opportunities for personal growth

    Many employees strive for continuous growth and seek challenges in their present

    job. Training and development serves to help employees in their quest for personal

    growth. Employee growth leads to improves job performance as well as greater

    organizational effectiveness.

    It is evident that T&D leads to both individual and organizational performance

    improvement. As mentioned earlier, T&D benefits both the employee and the

    organization, causing a win-win situation. Training should be analyzed in itsorganizational context and in the context of its having multiple determinants in addition

    to its technical function of increasing efficiency. Recently, there has been a growth and

    expansion of the notion of training to include a broader focus on those sklls that may not

    contribute directly to efficiency or productivity but are general skills and thus more

    transferable.

    3

    Functionally integration training in a comprehensive manner is significantly

    difficult, but by applying four basic principles to event design or by using the recipes to

    evaluate packaged training. Organizations can achieve this functional integration fairly

    efficiently.

    Translating the principles into a technology may involve considerable detail and

    effort, but the effort should not be overwhelming. We are examining the best set of

    functions organizations should bear in mind the ideal set of functions training is supposed

    to achieve. For training to be effective, trainers must construct ideas so that it teaches a

    new set of skills. Those people then must meet an agreed on standards. Further, trainers

    and organizations must administer the training so that it increases trainees desire and

    capacity to learn.

    The principles describe below are elaborations of a functionally integrated

    approach to training.

    Principle 1: Make sure the training content relevant to the trainees.

    For any training to be effective, trainees should perceive or understand its content

    as relevant to themselves. Trainees will see relevance if training content responds to their

    perception of their work task needs. Or training can respond to trainees self-perception by

    addressing their personal values or by increasing their capacity to live. Of course, training

    content that involves other values and capacity has the likelihood of involving troubles.

    To make training content relevant to trainees, trainers need to understand their

    frames of reference. This can be possible only through observing, listening and

    responding to the potential trainees. Trainees need to disclose significant accounts of

    their perceptions of work and life-experience that can affect their functionality in day-to-

    day activities.

    4

    5/108

    FACTORS REGARDING TRAINEES FRAMES OF

    PREFERENCE:

    Knowing trainees attitudes toward training is important. The more resistance

    trainees are, the more exponential trainers must make trainees. Understanding trainees

    learning style is helpful in designing training lesson plans. Knowing trainees familiarity

    and competence with the training topic provides a base for organizing content and lesson.

    Understanding their relationship between trainees and organization for which they work

    promotes your awareness of issues that-if addressed correctly can help trainees develop

    into a cohesive, anticipation unit or that can-if addressed inappropriately-polarized them.

    If trainers can develop a clear perception of trainees frames of reference, trainers

    can design training that reduces resistance and develop trust. Reduced trainee resistanceand belief in trainees sincerity increases employee participation equally important, the

    information trainers collect allows them to design training around trainees knowledge,

    skills and experiential base further increasing the likelihood of achieving training

    objectives.

    Principle 2: Make training objectives congruent with work tasks.

    Congruence means that changes training is intended to make in trainees

    knowledge, attitudes or skills will maintain or enhance their work functioning.

    To achieve congruence trainers must analyze training relative to an organizations

    congruence between a training strategic plan and organizational mission is usually not a

    line trainers responsibility. Still it is that trainers responsibility to make sure that the

    training orders not seem incongruent.

    In small organizations where there is one trainer, this responsibly in most

    definitely with the trainer. When a outside training consultant provides training the

    burden of assuring congruence rests with the consultant. The same is true for

    organizations training goals, objectives, management and policy.

    Principal 3: Make training event design systematic and relate directly to training

    objectives.

    5

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    6/108

    Design involves identifying and organizing content integrated with a plan for

    delivery. The more specific the contents are relative to training objectives, the greater the

    likelihood that trainees will reach these objectives.

    Trainers must organize lesson plans and contents ti assure a systematic,

    comprehensive method that will allow trainees to master the content, trainers design must

    start with the trainees levels of functioning and end with their actual performance of

    tracks of skills defined in the training objectives.

    Designing system, targeted training takes several steps. First, identify appropriate

    content detail for the training audience. If, for experience, the training is for people

    having no prior experience with the content, then trainers must make content unite

    detailed and explicit. Trainers should describe in detail the tasks, skills, skill steps and

    supporting information trainees need to do the skill steps. Trainers should also describe

    the resources and materials trainees need to perform the tasks. For trainees already

    competent in the necessary skills however trainees should make the content task

    application method.

    Next organize the content in to development sequence for learning. This usually

    involves sequencing the content into a step-by-step cumulative method.

    Appropriate content organization depends on the material trainees must learn. For

    some content areas this means organizing the content in the same sequence on a hierarchy

    of operations trainees must learn such as from simple to complex. Still others require

    incrementally increasing the number of operations trainees must perform during a

    particular period.

    Third, design a delivery format for the trainee. The format needs two levels

    details.

    PRIMARY LEVEL:

    For the primary level of detail, explicitly write out five phases of delivery for each

    set of sequence to be learned, called ROPES model of lesson planning.

    ROPES MODEL:

    1. Review of skills and knowledge to learn the new content trainers must be

    presenting.

    6

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    7/108

    2. Overview of the sequence trainees must learn and how the sequence fit in with

    the content of the training.

    3. Presentation of the content trainees must learn.

    4. Exercises trainees must practice and master.

    5. Summary of what the trainees have learned and its relationship to what they

    have already learned and will learn later.

    The second level of detail entails in developing and delivery plan containing those

    parts within each area of ROPES model. This plan should include exactly, what trainers

    will tell trainees what they will show them and what they will have to do.

    Principle 4: Make training delivery respond to trainees frames of reference.

    Whatever the desired outcome is, if training is to be effective it must adequately

    involve the trainees. The greater their involvement, the greater is the likelihood of

    training success. Further trainees must consistently calculate their training delivery to

    match trainees level of ability and performance. The training responsiveness to

    individuals is reflected in the content and effective use of interpersonal and problem-

    solving skills throughout training delivery. Attending, responding, personalizing and

    initiation are most interpersonal communication.

    There are two sets of attending skills. Physical attending skills involve physically

    presenting in a way that communicates interest and openness to trainees. These skills

    include posturing in an open manner, learning or standing toward trainees, making

    comfortable eye contact, and having barrier-free environment.

    Psychological attending skills involve listening non-judgmentally for main or

    repeating them as well as for the who, what, when, where, how and why trainees

    express. Psychological skills also involve making observations from which you can draw

    inference about trainees moods, tensions, energy, health, comfort and congruence

    between verbal and non-verbal expressions.

    Training is only one component in a productivity improvement effort. Training

    makes up for poor policy, poor management, and supervision, inadequate resources such

    as antiquated equipment or poor worker-management relations.

    But if you incorporate the 4 basic principles outlined about in the training

    actively, then that training regardless pf its primary goal, will have some degree of

    positive impact on organizational productivity.

    NEED FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    Before discussing the conditions necessitating training and development

    activities, it would be relevant to differentiate between the terms training and

    development particularly in the context of industrial and service organization. Theobjective of training is to develop specific and useful knowledge, skills and techniques. It

    is intended to prepare people to carry out pre-determined tasks in well defined job

    contexts. Training is basically a task oriented activity aimed at improving performance in

    current or future jobs. The term management as are relevant to managerial tasks and

    functions.

    Development encompasses the whole complex process by which employees as

    individuals learn, grow, improve their abilities to perform a wide variety of roles within

    an outstanding organization and acquire socially desirable attitudes and values

    management tasks.

    It involves learning on the job through experience.

    Participation in formal training or educational programs is an integral part of

    overall management development. Several other approaches like job rotation, placement,

    job enrichment, task forces constituted around specific problem areas, participation, etc..

    can be used to promote management development, is highly individual matter, it is

    essentially self development.

    The need for training and development of employees on a continuing basis in

    organized sector of human activities is no longer a matter of debate. The need has been

    recognized as an essential activity not only if management in public and private sector

    but also of trade unions, academic institutions professional bodies and the various

    departments and the agencies of the governments.

    Some of the conditions that led to the awareness of the importance os training and

    development activities in organizations in India are:

    1. Sub-optimal performance of organizations in public government and private

    sector.

    2. The ever increasing gap between planning and implementation of projects.

    3. Technological changes necessitating acquisition of new skills.

    9

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    10/108

    4. Qualitative change in the form of professionalism of managerial staff and

    workmen.

    5. Increased uncertainties and complexities in the environment necessitating

    flexible and adaptive responses.

    6. Need for individual and organizations to grow up at rapid pace.

    7. To meet challenges of global competition.

    8. To harness the human potential and give expression to their creative urges.

    Arising out of the above, the main areas in which training is provided are :

    Knowledge

    The training in this area aims at helping the training learn to understand and to

    remember facts, information and principles

    Technical skills

    The trainee is taught physical acts or actions like operating a machine, working

    with a computer, using mathematical models to take decision, etc..

    Social skills

    The trainee are provided import unities to acquire and sharpen such behavioral

    and human relations skills as are necessary for improved interpersonal relationship,

    between team work and effective leadership.

    Techniques

    This involves teaching of application of knowledge and skill to dynamic

    situations.

    Attitudes

    This involves attitudinal change towards increased work commitment and has a

    positive orientation towards the organization and society. The basis attitudes, and the

    knowledge and skill with which to change them have to be carefully diagnosed

    Experience

    It can not be taught in the class room. It is the result of practicing the use of

    knowledge, skills, techniques and the attitudes over a period of time in different work

    situations.

    10

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    11/108

    Most organizations depending on their specific development requirements at

    various levels in the organizations tend to assign priority to one or the other areas above

    for training purpose. Usually a well design training program aims at facilitating learning

    in partially all the areas, the emphasis, however, may differ based on the specific

    requirements of tasks and people.

    Although in many cases need for training has been realized, infrastructure created

    financial support provided, yet the benefits of training are not reflected to the desired

    extent in the overall improvement in the current state or preparedness for future

    challenges. Training to be meaningful, therefore, must be integrated into the overall

    human resource developmental strategies of organizations. Such integrations can be

    achieved only when training activities are carried out in a systematic manner.

    ASSESMENT OF TRAINING NEEDS

    Training is an essential input in providing learning opportunities to employees of

    an organization to enable them to optimally contribute towards meeting the short and

    long-term objectives of the organization. Thus all the activities pertaining to training

    must be related to the specific needs of both the organizations and the individual

    employees. The specificity with training needs.

    Firstly the extent to which the skills required for a particular task ones role have

    been acquired and utilized in improving ones performance, and secondly, the extent to

    which the individual interests, aspiration and potentials have been met and realized for

    ensuring job satisfaction and employee growth.

    Aphorism in the choice of training programs and in formulating training strategies

    are, likely to cause more frustration than satisfaction among organization members as

    they may not be able to utilize their new acquired learning on their jobs. There is the

    need, therefore, to develop realistic plans for training and development of employee,

    excite them and follow them up with continuous monitoring and evaluation. The first

    phase in the planning process is the identification of specific training and development

    needs, which involves the following:

    11

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    12/108

    ORGANISATION ANALYSIS

    This involves a study of entire organization in terms of its objectives, its

    resource, the allocation and utilization of these resources for achievement of objectives.

    And its interaction patterns with the relevant social-economic technologicalenvironments. The training philosophy for the entire organization can be developed

    through this process. In more specific terms the organization analysis includes the

    following steps:

    Analysis of objectives

    Analysis of organizations objectives provides a clear understanding both short and

    long-term objectives as well as the priorities they are accorded to various objectives.Specific goals and strategies should be stated to various divisions, departments and

    sections of the organizations as a means of achieving the long-term priority objectives.

    Continuous review of objectives and a subsequent modification in the context of the

    changing environment need to be undertaken at regular intervals. Also, it is necessary to

    translate general objectives into detailed and specific operational targets.

    Resource utilization analysis

    Having analyzed the objective the second strep involves evaluating the process of

    allocation of various human and physical resource and the extent of their efficient

    utilization in meeting the specific operational targets across the organization. Various

    efficiency induces can be derived to determine the adequacy of specific work flows, so

    that detailed examination of the inputs and outputs of the total system is possible. The

    focus should be on the contribution that human resources make to ward these induces.

    Environmental scanning

    This involves analysis of the enterprise as an organization as an organization or a

    subsystem operating in a distinct socio-cultural, economic and political environment.

    This enables the organization to influence certain aspects of its environment and to accept

    other parts as given constraints, which cannot easily be controlled.

    12

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    13/108

    Organization climate analysis

    The climate of an organization is a reflection of its members attitude towards

    various aspects of work, supervision, company procedures, goals and objectives of work

    and membership in the organization.

    The prevailing organizational climate, especially the attitude towards employee

    development, determines the training programs success. Lack of management support for

    the objectives of a particular training program reduces or eliminates its potential for

    serving the organization. Often, training must be supported by other organization such as

    job enrichment, change in style of supervision, etc,. to bearing about desired changes.

    Another important consideration, particularly in management development, is an

    enterprises need to project requirements trends during the careers of its current

    management force.

    Task/role analysis

    This involves a careful study of jobs within an organization in a further effort to

    define the specific content of training. It requires an orderly, systematic collection of data

    about the job. Role or position: and its purpose is to spell out, in as much detail as

    possible, what tasks constitute the job, how they are to be performed and what behavior,

    skills, knowledge and attitudes, the job holder must have to perform certain tasks.

    In the collection of job information for the purpose of formulation training

    programs, particularly attention must be paid to performance standards required of

    employees, the tasks in which they will be engages, the methods they will use on the job

    and most important, they have learned these methods.

    Many different ways of collecting job information are available. Such as:

    quotations, interviews, personal records, observation, business and production reports,

    test etc,.

    Manpower analysisThe focus of this analysis is on the individual in a given job, rather than on the job

    itself. Three basic issues are involved in a manpower analysis for training purposes.

    1. Through appropriate observation, supervisory evaluation and diagnostic

    testing we need to determine whether performance is substandard and training is

    needed.

    13

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    14/108

    2. We need to know whether current employees are capable of being

    trained, but the specific areas in which training is required.

    3. We need to ask whether current employees with standard performance can

    improve their work through appropriate training or to be transferred to make room

    for those who can already do the job.

    4. Otherwise alternatives to training like modification in the job or new

    equipments or process should also be considered as solutions.

    5. Job knowledge tests, work samples, diagnostic psychological tests and

    performance reports provide the kind of information needed to choose from the

    above alternatives

    6. If the training program is to remain relevant and viable, then the three kinds of

    analysis described above must be carried on continuously.

    7. Training programmers should be reviewed constantly and revised in the light of

    changes in a companys resources, objectives, internal climate and external

    environment. Further, these analysis are then be integrated in a carefully designed

    and executed research program.

    TRAINING OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

    Having identified the training needs based on the various analysis discussed

    above, the next logical steps are to set training objectives in concrete terms land to decide

    on the strategies to be adopted to meet these objectives. The training needs basically

    highlight the gap between the existing and desired repertoire of knowledge, attitude and

    skills at individual, group and organizational level to enable the employees to contribute

    towards the realization of organizational objectives in quantitative and qualitative terms

    to be achieved through training. Such an exercise will also enable the training specialists

    to evaluate, monitor and measure the extent to which stated objectives have met through

    training intervention. As the training objectives are related to organizational objectives,

    the involvement of the top management will be necessary to ensure that the two sets of

    objectives are integrated.

    It is desirable to use the following criteria in setting training objectives:

    14

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    15/108

    1. Specific requirements of individuals and organizations so as to

    achieve integration of the two.

    2. Roles and tasks to be carried out by the target group.

    3. Relationship with other positions cortically and horizontally and

    technological imperatives.

    4. Relevance, applicability and compatibility of training to work

    situations.

    5. Training as a means of bringing about a change in behavior back

    on the job.

    6. Behavior including activities that can be observed measured and

    recorded.

    7. The expedited change in behavior must be useful, closely related

    to and subject to maintain in the work environment.

    More specifically the following steps could be involved in setting training objectives:

    1. Identification of the behavior where change is required.

    2. Nature and size of the group to be trained in terms of prior training,

    situational factors, formal eduction.

    3. Existing behavior defined in terms of ratio, frequency, quality of

    integration and supervision, routines and repetitiveness, innovation,

    omission, error, etc,.

    4. Desired behavior aimed at improving the existing condition stated

    preferably in quantitative terms such as ratio, frequency of occurrence,

    reporting by exceptions, self monitoring mechanisms etc,.

    5. Operational results to be achieved through training stats in terms of

    increasing in efficiency and effectiveness criteria such as productivity,

    cost, down time, turner, time for innovations and creativity.

    6. Indicators to be used in determining changes from existing to the

    desired level in terms of ratio and frequency.

    15

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    16/108

    Depending on the objectives set, the next step is to decide on the strategy of

    training involving the following:

    1. Classification of objectives in terms of purpose:

    1. corrective objectives

    2. maintenance/status-quo objectives

    3. problem solving objectives and

    4. innovation objectives

    2. Classification of objectives in terms of level of learning:

    1. skills of motor responses, memorization and simple

    condition:

    2. adaptation level where one is gaining knowledge or

    adapting to a simple environment:

    3. interpersonal understanding and skill:

    4. values of individual and groups.

    3. On-the-job or off-the-job training.

    4. In-house or external training

    5. Individual or group training.

    6. Horizontal, vertical or diagnostic/mixed group.

    7. Changes required, if any in the existing work roles, organizational

    relationship, work requirements, process of supervision and

    alternative structures.

    EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING METHODS:

    RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT TRAINING

    METHODS:

    To be really effective the training methods must fit in training program needs to

    find out how effective the method are in accomplishing their goal of modifying skills,

    attitudes and ultimate behavior.

    In an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of training programmers, training

    directors were asked to evaluate nine training techniques on their effectiveness in

    16

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    17/108

    achieving knowledge acquisition, changing attitudes, providing problem-solving skills,

    developing interpersonal skills gaining participant accept and achieving knowledge

    retention. For this purpose, a questionnaire was issued to 80 training directors with a

    request to rank the above methods from effective to not effective. The directors

    judged the program instruction as the most useful technique where knowledge acquisition

    and knowledge retention were important. Sensitivity training ranked highest on

    changing attitudes and developments interpersonal skills. The case study method led in

    he problem-solving skill category, and the conference method was said to be most

    effective in gaining participant acceptance.

    Objectives of training evaluation is to determine the ability of the participant in

    the training program to perform jobs for which they were trained, the specific nature of

    training deficiencies, whether the trainees for the participants to meet job requirements.

    There are various approaches to training evaluation. To get a valid measure of

    training effectiveness, the personal manager should accurately asses trainees job

    performance two to four months after completion of training.

    IMPROVING EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING

    The training program can be effective and successful if the following hits are

    considered:

    1. Specify training objectives should be outlines on the basis of the type of

    performance required to achieve organizational goals and objectives. An

    audit of personal needs compared with operational employees. This

    evaluation evaluation should from a well-defined set of performance

    standards towards which each trainee should be directed.

    2. Attempt should be made to determine if the trainee has the intelligence,

    maturity and motivation to successfully complete the training program. If

    deficiencies are noted in these respects, the training may be postponed or

    canceled till improvements till improvements are visible.

    3. The training program should be planned so that it is related to the trainees

    previous experience and background. This background should be used as a

    foundation for anew development and new behavior.

    OVERVIEW OF NEYVELI LIGNITE CORPORATION:-

    Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited was registered as a company on 14th

    November, 1956. The mining operation in Mine-I were formally inaugurated on 20th

    May, 1957 by the Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

    The main constituent units of the company are three Lignite Mines and Three

    Thermal Stations with additional units on the anvil. (10.5 million tones of lignite per

    annum Mine-I) feeds Thermal Power Station-I (600MW). The Thermal Station-I Units

    were operate more than 1.51 lakh unit running hours and to extend the life further. GOI

    sanctioned life extension program of Units of TPS-I in March 1992. This program was

    successfully completed in March 1999. Mine-II (10.5 million tones of lignite per annum).

    Mine-A with 3.0 million tones of lignite feeding CMS Energy Thermal Power Plant.

    MINE-I:-

    The lignite seam was first exposed in August 1961 and regular mining of lignite

    commenced in May 1962. German Excavation technology in opencast mining, using

    bucket wheel excavators, conveyors and spreaders were used for the first time in the

    country in Neyveli Mine-I Lignite excavated from Mine-I meets the fuel needs of

    Thermal Power Station-I.

    19

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    20/108

    Some of the unique characteristics features of the Neyveli Lignite Mine are

    occurrence of ground water aquifer below lignite bed.

    A huge reservoir of ground water occurs below the entire lignite bed, exerting an

    upward pressure of 6kg to 8kg/cm2. Unless this water pressure is reduced before mining,

    it will burst the lignite seam and flood the mines. This problem was overcome by

    continuously pumping out water round the clock through bore wells located at

    predetermined points and thereby reducing the water pressure at the lignite excavation

    area. Over the years, through continuous study and implementation of new methods, the

    quantity of water pumped out has been reduced from 50,000 GPM to 32,000GPM. (For

    mining on tone of lignite, about 13 tones of water has to be pumped out.) The water level

    is continuously monitored through observation wells for proper ground water

    management.

    MINE-II:-

    In February 1978 Government of India sanctioned the second lignite mine of

    capacity 4.7MT of lignite per annum and in February 1983, Government of India

    sanctioned the expansion of second mine capacity from 4.7 million tones to 10.5 million

    tones. Unlike Mine-I, Mine-II had to face problems in the excavation of sticky clay soil

    during initial stage. The method of mining an equipment used are similar to that of Mine-

    I. The seam is the same as of Mine-I and is contiguous to it. The Lignite seam in Mine-II

    was first exposed in September 1984 and excavation of lignite commenced in March

    1985. The last overburden system (Surface bench system) under the expansion scheme

    was commissioned on 15.12.1991. the lignite excavated from Mine-II meets the fuel

    requirements of Thermal Power Station-II.

    MINE-IA:-

    This project with a capacity of 3 million tones of lignite per annum was

    sanctioned by Government of India in from this mine will meet the requirement of M/s-

    CMS Energy, an Independent Power Project (IPP) to the tune of 1.9 million tones per

    annum and the balance lignite will be utilized to the best commercial advantage of NLC.

    THERMAL POWER STATION-I:-

    21/108

    The 600MW Neyveli Thermal Power Station-I which the first unit was

    synchronized in May 1962 and the last unit in September 1970 consists of six sets of

    50MW each and three sets of 100MW each.

    The power generated from Thermal Power Station-I after meeting Neyveli

    Lignite Corporations requirements is fed into Tamil Nadu Electricity Board which is

    the sole beneficiary. Due to the aging of the equipments/high pressure parts, life

    extension program has been taken up and was successfully completed in March 1999.

    THERMAL POWER STATION-II:-

    The 1740MW second thermal power station consists of 7 sets of 210MW each. In

    February 1978, Government of India sanctioned the second thermal power station of

    630MW capacity (3x210MW) and in February 1983, Government of India sanctioned the

    second thermal power station expansion from 630MW with addition of 4 units of

    210MW each. The first 210MW unit was synchronized in March 1986 and the last unit

    (Unit-VII) was synchronized in June 1993. Some of the salient features of Neyveli

    Thermal Power Station-II are:

    Largest Lignite fired unit.

    First tower type boiler in the country.

    Tallest tower type boiler 92.7 m high.

    First software based burner management system.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Training id one of the tools of organization development and is conceived as a

    planned change involving the whole organization as a complex system aimed at

    30

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    31/108

    increasing the effectiveness if the organization in order to survive in this competitive

    world should have talented workforce with innovative and analytical skills. This is

    possible only through training- Mark Twain (1895-1910)

    Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond: cauliflower is

    nothing but cabbage with a college education. Richard Feyman (1918-1998)

    You can know the name of a bird in all languages of the world, but then you are

    finished, you will know absolutely nothing about the bird. So lets look at the bird and see

    what it does. Thats what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the

    name of something and knowing something

    Sharma (1984) stressed the need for collectively finding an answer to make the

    training effort result oriented. He says in spite of many constraints training efforts can

    give positive results.

    Raghu (1984) emphasized that there is need for rationality in matching the

    training requirements to the need of the people in the organization.

    Training of personnel is not a choice left to the goodwill of management, a luxury

    of profitable enterprise. It is a must requirement of socio-economic system, a process

    imposed on the enterprise as a result of organizational growth, change in environment in

    its wider sense. It is an integral part of organizational learning.

    In a survey of public enterprise in 1982, it was found that in most enterprise,

    qualified trainers are too far too short in terms of the needed numbers. Many enterprise

    face the difficulty because of the paucity formal opportunities for training and

    development of trainers. To overcome this problem following opportunities are needed.

    An opportunity for specialized in teaching method.

    An opportunity to gain management training exercise and its diversification.

    An opportunity for participation in advance programmes on training

    methodology, curriculum development and training policies, conducted by

    professional management institution in India and abroad.

    The former prime minister Indira Gandhi (1983) said, local people if they are not

    trained, they should be give facilities for training so that they can get employment. There

    is a need for training managers even after recruitment. We should give a chance to those

    who are not efficient, to catch up and be efficient, each person must do his best. The

    31

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    32/108

    irony of it is we know that the capacity and yet we do not use our own capacity to the

    fullest.

    A survey by training magazine in march 1998 of a number of training directors

    regarding the key change in HRD showed that the priorities occupying their minds were

    very much business-driven and were quite different from those of a few years ago.

    Devolution of training management to line managers and individuals themselves features

    strongly, along with extensive outsourcing of resources, creative of the learning

    consultant role, and the management of learning beyond the classroom.

    Donald A School's the reference practitioner: How professional think in action,

    catches best in action what we mean by learning and helping others learn i.e., training.

    The book is based on recording of what goes on in professional offices of an expected

    recognized, architect, psychotherapist, scientist, town planner manager-a master- works

    with a junior colleague for or interim over a design, a review of a session, a case. They

    converse not so much with each other as with the situation made up of concrete

    consideration such as purpose, suit characteristic.

    Client preference and other. In the process they reframe the problem test fresh

    solution together and visualize consequence firm up some components in order to free up

    some others. This process is full of stops and starts, some dead ends and much

    excitement.

    Herbert and Doverspike (1990) reviewed the American literature on the

    relationship between appraisal and training analysis from 1961-1985 they concluded that

    while the need analysis survey literature for the needs analysis process, the performance

    survey literature seems to indicate that only small percentages of companies and state

    government list needs analysis as an important function of their appraisal system, and that

    this function ranks very low among the purpose for conducting such appraisal. This may

    indicate that few companies and the state government truly perform any type name,

    analysis, but that when it is performed, performance appraisal data is viewed as the useful

    source of information.

    As per survey conducted in China in the year 1979 only one percent of the labor

    force had scientific or technical training. The ratio of scientist and engineers to employed

    was only 5-1000, low when compares to the situation in other developing countries. Poor

    32

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    33/108

    performance in technical areas is a direct consequence of the political upheavals

    associated with the cultural revolution. China lost two million middle-level technicians

    among this generation. This resulted, mainly because of negligence of the need for

    training.

    Yuan Bohu in 1980 said lack of skills is a universal problem if these

    circumstances are not altered, modern construction cannot be properly conducted and in

    order to alter them training and worker education must be vigorously developed.

    Heany (1972) the dichotomous view of training as a preparatory for the

    subsequent work life of an individual is changing management, education is considered

    as a critical link in getting managers to use management.

    Lgrand (1975) training is viewed as a life long process and it is essential for the

    self development of an individual. The life long education leads a human being so as to

    maintain the continuity of his apprenticeship and training throughout his life.

    Fernandes (1981) emphasized the variation of training needs from time to time.

    He says the half-life of learning is decreasing. Technical practices change rapidly with

    passage of time. As there is tremendous scientific innovation, the work life situation

    alters. There has been a change in several fields, which affect management situation.

    These in turn, will involve continuous educational linkages between education on

    one hand and absorption and utilization on the other. Education is visible by the

    approaches adopted by several industries having started in company training facilities.

    This has been supplemented by deputing different educational training. Thus the training

    needs to vary accordingly.

    Kaye Thorne and Alex Machray (2001) stated that training need analysis is an

    essential part of determining your training strategy and cannot be exempted. Having

    clarified the organizational goals and the required levels of performance to deliver these

    goals, the need analysis seeks to determine the present level of performance. Any gap

    between the present level of performance. Will help to determine the target areas training

    and importantly for the manager, the priority order of that training.

    The research techniques and sampling issues are exactly the same as those used

    when evaluating. You are attempting to measure the gap between existing and subsequent

    levels of performance.

    The research was conducted among executive level workers only.

    The employee population was quite large and there was not much scope for

    getting the feedback personally

    The result cannot be generalized.

    Due to time and cost factor, the study was not done in a detailed manner.

    SAMPLING SIZE AND TECHNIQUES

    Size of the samples:

    It refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute as a

    sample. In this study eighty employees from different departments in Neyveli Lignite

    Corporation were selected as the sample size. The total population of Neyveli Lignite

    Corporation is 450

    Sample design

    The sampling techniques used in this study are simple random sampling methods.

    This method is also called as the method of chance selection. Each and every item of

    population has an equal chance to be included in the sample.

    STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES USED

    To analyze and interpret the collected the following statistical tools were used.

    Simple average methods:

    no. of respondents

    Simple average methods= ______________________ x 100

    total no. of respondents

    Chi-square test:

    Chi-square test is been applied to test the independence of attributes. It is one of

    the statistical measures used in the context of sampling analysis for comparing a variance

    to a theoretical variance. It can be used to determine if categorical date shows

    dependency or the classifications are dependent.

    E(O-E)

    Chi-square = ________________

    E

    where,

    O= observed frequency

    E= expected frequency

    we require the degrees of freedom for using this test.

    d.f=(c-1)(r-1)

    39

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL DRAFT Training and Development

    40/108

    Then by comparing the calculated level with the table values of chi-square for (c-

    1)(r-1) degrees of freedom at a given level of significance, we may either accept or reject

    the null hypothesis. If calculated value is less than the table value, the null hypothesis is

    accepted, but if the calculated value is equal or greater than the value, the hypothesis is

    rejected.

    SUGGESTION AND RECOMMENDATION

    It is suggested that the training program are confined to be contracted as there is a

    positive feedback from the trainees.

    It is suggested that the training program could be changed in such a manner that

    they can put into practice with applicability to enhance their personal needs too.

    Obtaining feedbacks after the training program is good but the purpose of it could

    be fulfilled by suitability implementing changes.
