The research work as it stands today is the sincere contributions of a few spirited
individuals. It would be unfair to not recognize their contribution to the work. I hereby
acknowledge those:
I would like to thank “EAST COAST RAILWAY,BHUBANESWAR” for allowing us
to conduct our summer internship project under the umbrella of the organization. I take
this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my company guide, MR.SOUVIK
SAHA,ASST.PERSONNEL MANAGER OF Ecor Headquarter for his outstanding
and undeniable considerations to my eagerness.
Humbly, he stood by me all the time to help, guide, and mentor me at each stage of my
work. He put his best efforts to guide us towards the path of research work and
reminding me every now and then on the issues which helped to accomplish the task
with great success.

PREFACE
Summer training is one of the integral parts of the course
curriculum of Master in personnel management.Theoretical
knowledge only provides the basic concepts about the course
contents. But field trainings give practical exposure to the study
& strengthen to handle problems in the professional careers.
Especially human resourse (HR) students requires thorough field
to understand the real industrial situations,policies & procedure
practices in an industry.
Summer training in 2nd sem is such a platform that gives
opportunity to a students to visit any service or manufacturing
organization to get overall data.
MANPOWER:
Manpower is defined as the total of number of individuals who
are employed in a company or available for a particular project
assignment or work. In an organization the manpower needed
for a particular work and in future is estimated and planned
through different techniques available.
If in an organization, the number of people available are more
than the work it indicates that the organization has manpower
surplus. In this type of organization, some people will remain
with out work. This would be an additional cost to the
organization, but sometimes organizations keep some extra
manpower with them just to use them when unexpected need
arises. The manpower surplus maintained will be different in
different industries.
A.2-TYPE OF QUESTIONS:
· Multiple choice
· Close-ended
· Ranking item question.
(d) Interview
In this method the interviewer personally meets the informants and asks
necessary
questions to them regarding the subject of enquiry. Usually a set of
questions or aquestionnaire is carried by him and questions are also
asked according to that. The interviewer efficiently collects the data
from the informants by cross examining them. The interviewer must be
very efficient and tactful to get the accurate and relevant data from the
informants.
(i) Advantages:
(ii) Disadvantages:
• The major disadvantages of interview are:
• There is a chance of bias.
• The informants may not answer some personal questions.
• It is a time-consuming process.
• Money and manpower requirements are very high.
• Some time the interviewers are involved in pressurising respondents to
share theirpersonal information.To study the topic of the research out of
available instruments for research mainlyquestionnaire, interview and
telephone/mobile phones have been used because theseinstruments were
found suitable for data collection purpose. Mailed questionnaire has not
been used because the need has not been felt during the study.
Research Methods
For collection of primary data for this research work survey and
observation methods have been used. Experimental method is not found
suitable for this study because the topic is a theoretical topic and there is
no need to have experiments. These two methods are explained below:
(a) Survey Method
Survey is used to collect quantitative information about items in a
population. Surveys are used in different areas for collecting the data
even in public and private sectors. A survey may be conducted in the
field by the researcher. The respondents are contacted by the research
person personally, telephonically or through mail. This method takes a
lot of time, efforts and money but the data collected are of high
accuracy, current and relevant to the topic. When the questions are
administered by a researcher, the survey is called a structured interview
or a researcher-administered survey. When the questions are
administered by the respondent, the survey is referred to as a
questionnaire or a self-administered survey. It is an efficient way of
collecting information from a large number of respondents. Very large
samples are possible. Statistical techniques can be used to determine
validity, reliability, and statistical significance.
Surveys are flexible in the sense that a wide range of information canbe
collected. They can be used to study attitudes, values, beliefs, and past
behaviours.
Because they are standardized, they are relatively free from several types
of errors. There is an economy in data collection due to the focus
provided by standardized questions. Only questions of interest to the
researcher are asked, recorded, codified, and analyzed.
Sampling
(a) Introduction
The research is a systematic study to examine or investigate the issue or
problem and find out the relevant information for solution. For study
data are to be collected from the respondents. It is not possible to collect
data from everyone of the population. Population is a very large number
of persons or objects or items which is not feasible to manage. A
population is a group of individuals, persons, objects, or items from
which samples are taken for measurement. For research purpose a part
of the population is to be selected.
Sampling is the process in which a representative part of a population
for the purpose ofdetermining parameters or characteristics of the whole
population is selected. This is called a sample. It is easier to contact a
smaller part of the population for data collection. It can be done within a
limited time, efforts and with minimum cost. For selection of a sample
special care should be taken that the sample is proper representative of
the whole population. Every segment of the population should be
included but the number should not be very large which may become
difficult to manage within time and cost limits.
For this research study purpose out of different sampling methods the
stratified random sampling has been selected. The universe includes
salesmen, wholesalers, retailers and customers of selected companies
located in different parts of sambalpur region. The salesmen are
selected from branches of companies and further on the basis of
availability during visits. Cities are divided into areas and from each
area the dealers, retailers and customers have been selected from urban
and rural areas of these cities. They have been selected randomly. So
stratified random sampling has been used for the study. Keeping in view
the proper representation of every segment of population and
manageable size of thesample, the sample size selected is 100.
(b) Time Duration
The permitted time by the university for completion of research study
for post graduate degree is 45 days . Continuous efforts have been put to
work on this research. It has been completed and submitted within the
permitted time period.
COMPANY PROFILE
East Coast Railway was first out of the seven new zones to be inaugurated by the
then Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Sri H.H. Devegowda on 08.08.1996. The
Officer-on-Special Duty took over charge of the newly declared Zone on 16th
September,1996. Initially, only one division namely Khurda Road was attached to
this railway. Subsequently, however, when the zone became fully operational with
effect from 01.04.2003, this railway was carved out of the erstwhile South Eastern
Railway, comprising of three divisions viz. Khurda Road, Waltair, & Sambalpur.
In the process, the history repeated itself. The present East Coast Railway is a
truncated version of the earlier East Coast Railway that was opened to traffic more
than a century back i.e. on 1st November 1888. Long after i.e. on 01.08.1955, the
Bengal Nagpur Railway (B.N.R) was separated from the combined East Zone to
constitute the South Eastern Railway with the administrative jurisdiction extending
over six divisions namely, Nagpur, Bilaspur, Chakradharpur, Kharagpur, Adra,
Khurda Road. Thereafter, Waltair division came under its fold in October, 1962
with Palasa-Visakhapatnam(ML- single Line), Raipur-Vizainagaram(RV) single
line and Bolangir-Titlagarh (Single line). After formation of Sambalpur division in
April, 1994, the jurisdiction of Raipur-Vizainagaram (RV) line in Waltair division
was curtailed and left with ex-Titlagarh-Vizainagaram .Subsequently, the newly
constructed Sambalpur-Talcher line with a track length 154 Kms. was opened to
traffic on 15.08.1998.
Year Events

sanctioned.
