PREFACE

Its a matter of honor for me to place before you my best possible efforts in the form of Training report on TRAINNING & DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION in NTPC - RIHAND.This project has been very inspiring and educative for me in gaining insight of HR Deptt. in an organization , which is known for achieving excellence in every field around the world.

In November 1975 National Thermal Power Corporation ( NTPC ) was established under the Electricity ( Supply ) Act , 1948.RIHAND SUPER THERMAL POWER PROJECT , is one of the running projects of Power giant NTPC Ltd., one of the MAHARATNAS in Public Sector, the largest Power Utility in country contributing of the total power generation.NTPC Ltd. has over a period of 31 years created various records on Operational Excellence and added to an excellent organization development.

This project has been undertaken as a part of my SUMMER TRAINING for the partial fulfillment of MBA ( HR ). I wish this would highlight the level of satisfaction among executives regarding to their related job and performance feedback.

EXECUTIVE SUMMERYThis summer training project report was carried out in NTPC - Rihand Nagar, Sonebhadra. Indias largest power company, NTPC was set up in 1975 to accelerate power development in India. NTPC is emerging as a diversified power major with presence in the entire value chain of the power generation business. Apart from power generation, which is the mainstay of the company, NTPC has already ventured into consultancy, power trading, ash utilizations and coal mining. NTPC ranked 317th. in the 2009, Forbes Global 2000 ranking of the Worlds biggest companies. With a current generating capacity of 32194 MW, NTPC has embarked on plans to become a 50,000 MW by 2012 & 75, 000 MW company by 2017. The project title is A study of TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION in NTPC

The objectives of this report is to study the training and development practices adapted by Rihand to educate their employees meet the functional requirement cope with the environmental changes .This report was made to receive the ideas and thoughts of employees regarding training and development is being imparted to them.

Descriptive research design is used to conduct the research .The universe is the total number of employees that is 1100 in the project. Among them 360 are captured which is my sample size. My sample area was Rihand Nagar. Convenient sampling a non probability sampling technique has been used as per my resources and time constraints.Both primary and secondary data are taken into consideration . primary data are collected through questionnaire and interview method and secondary data are collected through internet, intranet and companies manual. About 18 questions have been made and distributed to 400 employees and only 360 responses were received. For analysis and interpretation of the data five points scales are used in which points from five to one are allotted to strongly agree to strongly disagree respectively. Each questions are analyzed with the help of bar graph and interpreted accordingly. The findings of the report are that superiors provides adequate feedback to employees on their progress, the training programme is partly defined for various levels of employees, that employees satisfied with the teaching style of trainer, that employees satisfied with the teaching style of trainer ,it is observed that the training programme is fully interactive most of the respondents agree with the content of training programme, most of the employees satisfied with the service provided during the training programme, from the above findings it is observed that up to some extent the schedule of Training programme hurdles regular work of employees .Suggestions is being hereby given that some departments like medical which is deprived from training facility, they must be focused. Training regarding HR policies and practices should be imparted . Suggestion may be initiated through departmental meetings and circulars to improve the perceptions of employees regarding training provission .

While conducting the training various problems have been faced like lack of conveyance facility to visit every department, there was reluctant behaviour of employees, the time period was very short, lack of financial resources etc .The conclusion of the whole training report is that training and development programmes carried out in Rihand nagar was satisfactory and it enables employees to accept the new challenges . Employees are fully satisfied by the performance of the Employee Development Center. It is because of EDC is having calendar of training schedule to cover all the employees for various types of training. Responses against most of the parameters comes under the grading Good. It denotes that the perception of the employees in connection with the training provided by Employee Development Center is near to the expectation of the employees . INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE TOPICThe present study was aimed at understanding the various types and procedures of training & development, for the employees in all the sections of NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPORATION LTD RIHANDNAGAR, SONEBHADRA ( U.P ) .The purpose of the study was divided in to two main types of objectives: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES :

Know about HRD in NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPORATION LIMITED and Overview. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE :

Know the Human resource & its working system in the corporation.

Know the types of method applied in training & development in all departments of NTPC. Know the procedure of training & development to increase the efficiency of employees.

Identification of the training needs.

Pre-training preparation for the employees.

Need of motivation

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION IN NTPC TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT In simple terms, training and development refer to the imparting of specific skills abilities and knowledge to an employee.

The basic philosophy of the guidelines is to make training an effective instrument in transforming NTPC into a learning organization . Training and development need = Standard performance Actual performance

Training and development programmes are necessary in any organization for improving the quality of work of the employees at all levels ,particularly in a world of fast changing technology, changing values , and environment.

The purpose of both is similar .The main difference between the two is in respect to the levels of employees for whom these are meant , and the contents and techniques employed.

TRAINING :

Training is a short-term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which non-managerial personnel acquire technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. It refers to instructions in technical and mechanical operations , like operation of some machine. It is designed primarily for non- managers, it is for a job- related purpose.

Training shall include a training programme, seminar, convention, workshop, symposium or any other structured learning or developmental programme, based on organizational needs and or Training Need Analysis.

According to Planty, Cord and Efferson, Training is the continuous, systematic development among all levels of employees of that knowledge and their skills ands attitude which contribute to their welfare and that of the company.

According to Flippo:-Training is the process or the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for performing a particular job.

According to S.Beach :- Training is the organized procedure in which people learn knowledge and or skill for definite purpose. DEVELOPMENT :

Development is a long-term educational process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which managerial personnel get conceptual and theoretical knowledge.

In other words it refers not to technical knowledge and skills in operation but to philosophical and theoretical educational concepts. It involves broader education and its purpose is long term development. According to Koontz and Donnell, Manager Development concerns the means by which a persons cultivates those skills which application will improve the efficiency and effectiveness with which the anticipated results of a particular organizational segment are achieved. According to Peter F. Drucker:- An institution which can not produce its own managers will die from an overall point of view the ability of an institution to produce managers is more important than its ability to produce goods efficiently and cheaply.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

Training for Different Employees :

The employees who are to be trained can be of different types and each type would require a different type of training.Unskilled workers are giving training in improved methods of handling machines and materials. The objective here is to secure reduction in cost of production and waste. Training is given on the job itself, by immediate superior officers. Semi-skilled workers require training to cope with requirements rising out of mechanization, rationalization and technical processes. Skilled workers are given training through apprenticeship in training centers or in the industry itself. Salesmen are trained in the art of salesmanship, in handling customers, planning their work, and facing challenges of market place.

Supervisory staff constitutes a very important link in the chain of administration. A Training programme for them should aim at helping the supervisors to improve their performance, and to prepare them for assuming greater responsibilities at higher levels of management.

Methods of Training: A) On- the-job Methods: This is the method of training where trainees learn by doing. Trainees are placed on the job.They work under the guidance and supervision of supervisors or certain experienced employees.

(1.) Job Rotation: Job rotation involves the movement of trainees from one job to another the purpose of job rotation is to provide trainees with a larger organizational perspective and greater understanding of different functional area as well as a better sense of their own career objectives and interest s.

(2.) Mentoring: Mentoring is a relationship in which a senior manager in an organization assumes the responsibility for grooming a junior person. Technical, interpersonal and political skills are generally conveyed in such a relationship from the more experienced person. A mentor is a teacher, Spouse, counselor, developer of skills and intellect, host, guide, exemplar, and most importantly, supporter and facilitator in the realization of vision the young person (protg) has about the kind of life he wants as an adult. The main objective of mentoring is to help an employee attain psychological maturity and

effectiveness and get integrated with the organization.(3) Coaching: Coaching is a kind of daily training and feedback given to Employee by immediate supervisors. It involves a continuous process of learning by doing. It is an informal, unplanned training and development activity provided by superiors and peers. (4) Demonstration and Examples: Here the trainer describes and. demonstrates how to do a certain work. He performs the activity himself, going through a step by step explanation why, how and what, of what he is doing. ( 5 ) Apprenticeship: A major part of training time is spent on the on- the-job productive work. Each apprentice is given a programme of assignments according to a predetermined schedule which provides for efficient training in trade skills. This method is appropriate for training in crafts, trades and technical areas. (6) Job Instruction Training (JIT): The JIT methods (developed during World war II) is a four steps instructional process involving preparation, presentation,

performance try out and follow up. (7) Vestibule Training: Workers are trained in the special separate part of the organization on the specific job .The training is imparted by specialized and experienced expert. The learner gets both theoretical and practical knowledge. (8) Committee Assignments: In this method, trainees are asked to solve an actual organizational problem. The trainees have to work together and offer solution to the problem. Assignment talented employees to important committees can give these employees a broadening experience and can help them to understand the personalities, issues and processes governing the organization.

B) Off-the-job Methods : Location of this training may be a company classroom, an outside place owned by the organization, an education institution or association, which is not part of company. In this method ,trainees are separated from the job situation and his attention is focused upon learning.

(1) Lectures:These are formally organized talks by an instructor on specific topics. This

method is useful when philosophy, concepts, attitudes, theories and problem solving have

to be discussed.

(2) The Conference Method: Under this method, a conference is held in accordance with the organized plan. Mutual problems are discussed and participants pool their ideas and

experience in attempting to arrive at better methods of dealing with these problems.(3) Seminar or Team Discussion: The group learns through discussion of a paper on a

selected subject. The paper is written by one or more trainees. The material to be analyzed

is distributed in advance in the form of required reading. (4) Case Discussion: Under this method, a real or hypothetical business problem or situation demanding solution, is presented to the group members are trained to identify the

problems present, they must suggest various alternatives for tackling them, analyze each of

these, find out their comparatives suitability and decide for themselves the best solution. (5) Role-Playing:- This method is also called role-reversal socio-drama or psycho- drama. Here trainees act out a given role as they would in a stage play. Two or more trainees are assigned roles in a given situation, which is explained to the group. (6) Programmed Instruction: -This involves two essential elements: (a) a step-by-step series

of knowledge, each building upon what has gone before, and (b) a mechanism for presenting

the series checking on the trainees knowledge. (7) Brain storming:-This method seeks to solve business problem by the process of collective analysis of the problem. A group people from various field is invited to put

forward their ideas , knowledge and experience after careful analysis and observation best

course of action relating to business problem is selected. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ON THE JOB AND OFF THE JOB TRAININGPoint of differenceOn the job training

NATIONAL THERMAL POWER STATION

Coal is the main source of production bulk thermal power, the other source being Atomic Energy, Gas, Naphtha and Diesel. In addition to the above-mentioned fuels, Water is essentially required in all cases. Thus any Thermal Power Plant must have availability of Coal, Water and Sufficient Area for disposal of Ash.

The coal obtained from collieries is prepared into powder-form of uniform size by crusher and pulverize. This powdered coal is continuously injected into the furnace of the boiler, which is essential equipment to generate steam. The water available from natural resources is also required to be treated in multiple stages and finally de-mineralized water runs through metallic tube in all round the furnace absorbing heat by radiation, convention and conduction. The water boils and is converted into steam. The saturated steam having certain amount of water vapour is further heated to achieve super heated condition at a temperature of 540 Deg. And 185/kg/cm sq. pressure before leaving the steam generators. This super heated steam is then injected into steam turbine, which fuses the turbine shaft to rotate at a high speed. The used steam is allowed to condense into water by cooling. Again; it recycled into boiler through very large capacity pumps.

The electrical energy is finally obtained from the output of generator, also known as ALTERNATOR, which is directly, couples to the turbine shaft and rotates at a speed of 3000rpm. The electrical energy is ultimately made available to the distant user by the means of HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION at various locations. The operation of Thermal Power Plant can be summarized in the following steps:-

1. Conversion of chemical energy of coal to heat steam.

2. Conversion of heat energy of steam to mechanical energy of rotating turbine. 3. Conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. Indias 3rd Best Power House of Human resource:

In a remarkable achievement, the recently conducted Business Today Hewitt Associates Best Employers Survey 2003 ranked NTPC the 3rd best among 220 major companies in India.

NTPC takes immense pride in its highly motivated and trained Human Resource.

Afforestation of barren Areas in & around project sites RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Methodology has been derived from combination of two words that are Research and Methodology where Research in a common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for the pertinent information on aspecific topic. Infact research is an art of scientific investigation,Redman and Mory definesResearch as a Systematize efforts to gain new knowledge and the methodology may bedescribed as the way of doing the things. Hence we can say that :- Research Methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods/techniques but also the methodology. Researchers not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate the mean, median, the mode, or the standard deviation or chi-square, how to apply particular research.

Techniques, but they also need to know which of these methods or techniques, are relevant and which are not, and what would they mean and indicate and why. Researchers also need to understand the assumption underline various techniques and they need to know the criteria by which they can decide that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and others will not. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from problem to problem. For example, an architect, who designs a building, has to consciously evaluate the basis of his decision, that is, he has to evaluate why and on what basis he selects particular size, number and location of the doors, windows and ventilators, uses particular materials and not others and the like. Similarly, in research the scientist has to expose the research decision to evaluation before they are implemented. He has to specify very clearly and precisely what decision he selects and why he selects them so that they can be evaluated by the others also.

Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our research study and explain why we are using a particular method and technique and why we are not using others so that the research results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher him self or by others. Why a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated, what data have been collected and what particular method has been adopted, why a particular technique of analyzing data has been used and a host of similar other question are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a research problem or study. RESEARCH DESIGN: The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the preparation of the design is the research project , popularly known as the research design . Decisions regarding what, when, how much, by what means concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design . A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and the analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.

In fact , the research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted ; it constitutes the blue print for the collection , measurement and analysis of data. As such the design includes an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.

More explicitly, the design decision happened to be in respect of:

What is the study about ?

Why is the study being made ? Where will the study be carried out ? What type of data is required? Where can the required data be found ? What periods of the time will the study include ? What will be the sample design ? What techniques of data collection will be used ? In what style will the report be prepared ?In brief, research design must ,at least contain:

A clear statement of the research problem

Procedures and techniques to be used for gathering information

The population to be studied

Methods to be used in processing and analyzing data.

In this research of evaluation of training and development programmes in Rihand Nagar , I have used DESCRIPTIVE Research design.Descriptive research design: descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular individual, or of a group, studies concerned with specific predictions, with narrations of the fact and characteristics concerning individual, group or situations are examples of descriptive research studies.

HYPOTHESIS :

A hypothesis may be defined as a proposition or a set proposition set forth as an explanation for

the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena either asserted merely as a provisional

conjecture to guide some investigation or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts.

While doing this survey all possible efforts have been done to find accurate and correct answers to my questions but still there are some limitations which could not be avoided; these are as follows: 1 . The findings of T&D programmes are based on the response of employees of NTPC Rihand. With respect to the total respondents only 32.80 % employees are covered .So the result may not reflect the true picture about the training programme.

2. This survey only indicates the level of responses through the specific questionnaire. If questionnaire is changed, the result might be somewhat different.

3. Employees were busy in their routine work so it was not easy to collect response. 4. The time available for interviewing the respondents was limited. As a result of this it was not possible to gather full information about the respondents.

5. Non-cooperative approach and the rude behaviors of the respondents.

6. The time duration of six weeks was not enough for the complete survey of the organization. 7. Due to lack of financial resources and conveyance facility large number of respondents could not be covered.
