In 1884, the Dabur was born in a small Calcutta pharmacy, where Dr. S.K. Burman
launches his mission of making health care products.
In 1896, with growing popularity of Dabur products, Dr. Burman expands his operations by
setting up a manufacturing plant for mass production of formulations.
In early 1900s, Dabur enters the specialized area of nature-based Ayurvedic medicines,
for which standardized drugs are not available in the market.
In 1919, the need to develop scientific processes and quality checks for mass production of

Daburgram. The distribution of Dabur products spreads to other states like Bihar and the
North-East.
In 1936, Dabur becomes a full-fledged company - Dabur India (Dr. S. K. Burman) Pvt.
Ltd.
In 1979, Commercial production starts in the new Sahibabad factory of Dabur, one of the
largest and best equipped production facilities for Ayurvedic medicines and launch of full-
fledged research operations in pioneering areas of health care with establishment of the
Dabur Research Foundation.

The story of Dabur began with a small, but visionary endeavor by Dr. S. K.
Burman, a physician tucked away in Bengal. His mission was to provide effective and
affordable cure for ordinary people in far-flung villages. With missionary zeal and fervor, Dr.
Burman undertook the task of preparing natural cures for the killer diseases of those days,
like cholera, malaria and plague.
Soon the news of his medicines traveled, and he came to be known as the trusted
'Daktar' or Doctor who came up with effective cures. And that is how his venture Dabur got
its name - derived from the Devanagri rendition of Daktar Burman. Dr. Burman set up
Dabur in 1884 to produce and dispense Ayurvedic medicines. Reaching out to a wide mass
of people who had no access to proper treatment. Dr. S. K. Burman's commitment and
ceaseless efforts resulted in the company growing from a fledgling medicine manufacturer
in a small Calcutta house, to a household name that at once evokes trust and reliability.

2.INTRODUCTION TO THE ORGANIZATION
Every company should be fully committed to the continuous development of its staff, in
the same ways as we continuously develop our services. This will be achieved by helping
all staff identify and meet their own job and business related development needs. This
policy will ensure that we have the adaptability and flexibility to thrive and succeed as a
business. To do this, all line managers, through the Performance Review process, will
• Ensure that staff have a level of knowledge and skill to fully perform their role
• Encourage staff to develop within their current role
• Look for potential, and find ways for staff to demonstrate potential
• Recognize and reward staff development (utilizing it wherever possible)
• Create a learning culture by providing opportunities for learning
Equal opportunities
All staff are entitled to and can expect to receive training they need to carry out their
current role. This includes fixed-term contract or short-term contract staff.
Permanent employees can expect to benefit from further commitment for each
individual to devote at least 5 days a year towards training and development. First priority
will be towards job-related training, but we will also encourage individuals to undertake
personal development training. This may entail taking professional qualifications;
undertaking research into a particular field of interest or experiencing a particular aspect of
another job in order to gain an insight into the role and fuller understanding of the work.
Training should not be viewed purely as “attending a training course”. There are a
variety of different methods that can be used to help train and develop individuals and
16
Personnel Services will be happy to help individuals and managers select the most
appropriate method. For-example, using open learning materials; computer-based
packages; videos or CD-ROMs; e-learning; and reading literature, to name but a few.
Shared responsibilities
It is recognizes the need for everyone to learn and develop their skills on a
continuous basis and will support individuals to help them achieve this. Equally, the
company expects individuals to take on some responsibility for their own self-development.
For example, identifying suitable training activities (with the help of line managers and
Personnel Services) and adopting a flexible and positive approach to any training and
development that is identified with them.
Identifying training & development needs
Identifying training and development needs, and helping individuals to improve their
performance, are key responsibilities for line managers, so they are expected to be actively
involved in their team’s training and development. Line managers are also responsible for
measuring the effectiveness of any training and development undertaken by team
members, with assistance from Personnel Services.
The skills and knowledge that will be needed for the future success of the company
will become apparent as each year’s business (corporate) plan is drafted and
communicated to teams within the company and individual performance objectives agreed.
Where individual skills, knowledge or the development of competencies are needed to
achieve our business objectives, these should be recorded on the Development Needs
Assessment plan, which forms part of our Performance Review process.
17
To demonstrate this contribution, individuals will agree with their line managers, prior
to undertaking a learning activity, “learning objectives”. Learning objectives will be the
means by which managers and company can measure how effective training and
development has been towards achieving our business objectives or performance. Setting
learning objectives will therefore provide a benefit for everyone:
For individuals, objectives give a better understanding of what is expected of them; where
priorities lie; where their contribution fits into the organization and how they are progressing.
For managers, objectives provide a basis for allocating responsibility to individuals for
achieving certain results; monitoring the achievement of results and providing solid
evidence, which is less subjective, for assessing an individual’s performance.
For the organization, objectives give a greater likelihood of strategic and corporate plans
being achieved.
Once someone has experienced a training and development activity or learning, we
will measure its impact and effectiveness on individual performance and the organization.
Again, line managers are expected to be part of this process by defining the performance
standards (or measures) when setting objectives and deciding on the methods that they will
use to evaluate the learning.(Personnel Services will of course be available throughout the
process to provide guidance and support).
There are three key stages that will be used to evaluate training and development:
Reaction: At this level, evaluation provides information on the attitudes of a participant to
learning, but it does not measure how much they have actually learned. That being said, if
a participant has a positive reaction to the learning experience they are more likely to
implement what they have learned. Evaluation at this level will be measured by a post-
learning questionnaire, which will be completed immediately after the learning activity has
taken place. Normally, Personnel Services will be responsible for issuing this type of
questionnaire.
Performance: Evaluation at this level looks at the impact of a learning experience on
individual performance at work. Key to this area of evaluation will be the need to have
established smart learning objectives prior to the learning experience so that when
evaluation takes place there are measures to use. For example, an important learning
objective for a junior secretary attending a Word training course may be “to produce typed
correspondence with no spelling or typographical errors.” In this example, a manager
would be able to evaluate the secretary’s performance using a measure of “no spelling or
typographical errors”. Ideally, evaluation on performance should take place approximately
18
3 – 4 months after the learning activity. Line managers should undertake this evaluation
and send a copy of the results to Personnel Services.
Organizational impact: At this level evaluation assesses the impact of learning on
organizational effectiveness, and whether or not it is cost-effective in organizational terms.
Personnel Services will undertake this evaluation as part of a wider training and
development evaluation process.
In summary then, Personnel Services will evaluate training and development at the
reaction and organizational levels, and line managers will be responsible for evaluating the
effectiveness of training and development at the performance level. However, there will be
some types of learning activities, for example attending conferences or seminars, where it
may not be appropriate to undertake any evaluation. If any doubt, please contact
Personnel Services.
To assist line managers, there are a variety of methods that can be used to measure the
effectiveness of the learning. Some of these include:
• Participant self-assessment
• Written or practical tests
• Structured interviews
• Questionnaires
• Feedback – for example, internally from colleagues, peers, and managers and/or
externally from partners, customers or clients
• Qualifications obtained
Line managers should contact Personnel Services, who will be pleased to help set-up an
evaluation method to use to measure the effectiveness of a training activity.
Funding
Funding for training and development will be paid from a central training budget, therefore
the Head of Personnel Services must approve any training and development that involves a
financial cost before any financial commitment is made. Details of how to apply for a
training and development are explained under the section headed “Selecting a
20
not have to complete any forms). All other training and development activities must be
authorised by Personnel Services before any training is booked.
Company sponsorship
Company recognises the need for continuous professional development and are
pleased to be able to offer a sponsorship scheme to all permanent and fixed-term
employees (whose contracts are for at least one year). The scheme covers professional,
academic or NVQ (or equivalent) qualifications. The following guidelines are designed to
give individuals an idea of the sort of funding that may be available and how individuals
may apply.
(2) Training Systems (courses, modules, training aids, presentation, instructors, records)
(3) Evaluation
The first phase is the identification and analysis of an organization's training needs. As a
minimum, the organization should be able to accomplish the following four things:
21
3. Conduct a complete review of legislated training requirements
Identification of training needs (ITN), if done properly, provides the basis on which all
other training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is
a process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity: people’s learning important to them,
and the success or the organization may by to stake.
It is important to know exactly what you are doing, and why, when undertaking ITN.
This is the reason we have included material to help you make considered decision and
take thoughtful action. You will find, however, that the return on the investment you make in
fully understanding what ITN is all about will make it well worth while.
ADVANTAGE OF ITN
22
It pinpoints the problems
It identifies the size of the problem
It identifies the scale of the need
It indicate the type of solution
It provides training objectives
DISADVANTAGE OF ITN
The list of disadvantages is considerably smaller than the benefits of advantages. The only
one of any significance is the need for a skilled person to be employed and
consequently the use of that person’s time. This has been quoted earlier as one of the
common criticisms of ITNs.
If the trainer alone is responsible for conducting the analysis in addition to all the
other areas of work for which they are responsible, this may be a justifiable criticism.
Organization open to criticisms of over-uses and wastes of money spent on unnecessary
training. So every attempt must be made to identify and analyze the needs accurately.
Identification of Training needs (ITN) is the examination or diagnostic portion of the
training system, the symptoms that ITN examines are often referred to as perceived
performance deficiencies. A perceived performance deficiency exists when there is a
difference between expected and perceived job performance.
A ITN can be categorized based upon whether it is reactive or proactive. A reactive.
ITN occurs when the perceived performance deficiency is a discrepancy between perceived
and expected performance for the employee’s current job. A proactive ITN is conducted o
respond to the perception that current job behavior reflects an inability to meet future
standards or expectations. The preventive approach is designed to assure that an
employee will be able to meet future expectations for his or her current job. The second is
development approach. This is conducted when current job behavior leads to the
perception that the individual has the potential but is not yet ready to perform at a higher
level position. A proactive ITN rests on the ability of someone to predict anticipate a future
problem.
It may survey trainees to identity specific topics about which they want to learn more.
Another HR-approach is task identification. Trainers begin by evaluating the job description
to identity the salient tasks the job requires.
Production records, quality control reports, grievances, safety reports, absenteeism
and turnover statistics, and exit interviews of departing employees may reveal problems
that should be addressed through training and development efforts. Training needs also
23
may become apparent from career planning discussions or performance appraisal reviews.
Supervisors see employees on daily basis and thus are another source of
recommendations for training. The HR department also reviews self-nominations to learn
whether the training actually is needed. Self-nomination appears to be less common for
training situations but more commons for development activities.
A job analysis should focus on what the trainee needs to be able to do to perform the
job satisfactorily. In ITN, a job analysis should take both a worker and task oriented
approach. A worker oriented approach focuses on the skills, knowledge and ability to
perform the job. These might include elementary notions, job demands, and the specific
human behaviors involved such as division making, communication etc. a task oriented
approach focuses on a description of the work activities performed. These are typically
expressed in terminology used by job incumbents an would involve a description of how,
why, and/of when a worker performs an activities preferred to as a job description.
Assumption about the organisation:
The organisation has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all stakeholders or
members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbours.
These objectives can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities of its people,
releasing potential and maximising opportunities for development.
Assumption about people:
1. People have aspirations, they want to develop and to learn new abilities and
use them.
2. In order to learn and use new abilities, people need appropriate opportunities,
resources, and conditions.
3. Therefore, to meet people aspirations, the organisation must provide effective
and attractive learning resources and conditions.
4. There needs therefore to be a match between achieving organisational goals
and providing attractive learning opportunities.
If our aim is to ensure that learning opportunities match closely the aims and goals of the
organisation, than an effective ITN process enables us to do this. It will then be possible to
achieve our other training objectives, see:
• To make learning opportunities effective and attractive.
This is what training design and delivery and implementation are about
• To keep a constant check on how far this match is being effectively continued. This
is what training needs evaluation is about.
24
• To keep a constant check on how far this match is being effectively continued. This
is what training evaluation is about.
We need good ITN processes in order to provide then learning opportunities required
achieving the goals of the organisations.
The sequence of thinking can be for example:
• In order to achieve our objectives we need our people to question the way we do
things.
• Therefore our people need to learn to question the way we things.
The training need was about learning to question the way we do things. The solution was
not direct training in questioning, but a subtler longer-term process of encouraging
employees to take an active involvement in their own development, thus increasing their
commitment to learning, to their work, and to the organization as a whole.
It will useful to consider how the concepts of training need and ITN have evolved over
recent decades.
Level of performance and need
We find it helpful to consider performance (whether of people, systems, processes, teams,
or the organisation as a whole) at three different levels. This means that the need arising
from these levels of performance, and hence levels of need are:
Level 1 Implementing (I1) doing things well
Level 2 Improving (I2) doing things betters
Level 3 Innovating (I3) doing new and better things
Level 1
Implementing level needs arise where the main problem is the gap between desired and
actual performance. In other words, this is where people need to learn how to do the job
well – as defined by current standards. It is about learning to satisfy basic requirements
and needs, in order to bring performance up to standard and maintain in there.
Level 2
Obviously, level 1 need is, in a way, about improving individual or group performance that is
currently lagging behind. However, when we refer to needs at level 2, we are talking about
improving the performance of everybody
• Of the organization as a whole – by raising current standards. This is where
continuous improvement comes in
25
• Where we look at what we as an organization are doing and make systematic,
organization-wide improvements so as to do it better, more efficiently and
economically.
Level 3
This represents a still further level of improvement – making a step-change rather than one
that is continuous or incremental. This can be done only by a through review of all our
processes and of how they are interrelated, based on a review of our purpose – why we do
what we do. What are we trying to achieve?
It must be stressed that these level are additive, i.e.
• To make successful to improvements we need to learn at level and then implement
(level) the improvements.
• To be successful in innovation we need to learn at level and than implement (level)
the new methods and continuously improve (level) than.
This is shown in the Figure 1.
I3

I2
Improving
I1
Fig.1Implementing
The additive nature of the three level of performance
1: Implementing
• Adhering (1) – learning to carry out basic tasks correctly. This is done by sticking
closely to the rules laid down for doing the job and following precisely the set
procedures.
• Adapting (2)– when we may need to bend the rules slightly and make adjustment to
procedures in order to make things work better. There may be minor changes in work
circumstances as the job is being carried out.
• Relating (3) – involves learning to understanding why things have been set up the way
they have and why procedures work as they do – as well as appreciating what needs to
be done.
Adhering, adapting and relating are the focused of most basic instruction and training,
whether designed for newcomers to the work or to “get people up to scratch” if their
individual performance has failed to match the standard required, or if for some other
reason they are lagging behind.
26
I2 : Improving
For Improving performance, where our aim is “to do things better”, different types of
learning are needed. This level requires (1), (2), (2) an ability to act more independently, to
take initiatives and to make your own meaning and sense out of what is going on. So we
are concerned with the following modes.
• Experiencing (4), i.e. being able to reflect on experiences and make our own
meaning from them.
• Experimenting (5), i.e. learning to design and carry out systematic processes, in the
form of experiments, in order consciously to discover more about the job and the
work, normally in the terms of particular target areas deemed in need of improving.
If people are encouraged to learn in these way (i.e. (4), (5)) considerable improvements can
be made and performance enhanced.
I3 : Innovating
Performance at this level requires two sets of learning in addition to modes 1 to 5. here
we are concerned with doing “new and better things”, and therefore learning has to
concentrate on a more sophisticated and complex set of factors.
• Connecting (6), i.e. making connection between things, events, and people, and
allowing integration and synergy to be achieved. We thus learn to work better with
others, and particularly with people from different disciplines, who may have different
perspectives and assumption, all of which need accommodating.
• Dedicating (7), where we learn to work out of a sense of purpose – why we are doing
something, and why we are doing something, and why we are doing it at a certain
time and in a particular way. This should mean that we develop a clear sense of
“what is in it” not just for ourselves, but for our colleagues, the organization as a
whole, and the wider community.
Organizational, group, and individual needs
As well as the three levels of need - implementing, improving, and innovating (I 1, I2
and I3) - there are also three areas of need: organisational, group, and individual. Because
we shall be devoting, specific chapters to each of these, at this point we shall give only a
quick overview of them.
Organizational needs
These concern the performance of the organisation as a whole. Information about
this overall performance may identify areas of need either for training or other interventions.
27
I1: implementing level
Here ITN is about finding out whether the organisation is meeting its current
performance standards and objectives, and, if not, exploring ways in which training or
learning might help it to do so.
I2: improving level
Organisational needs arise at this level we want not just to meet current objectives
but, for various reasons, to raise their level.
I3 : innovating level
These needs occur when the organisation decides that it has to adopt a major new
strategy, create a new product or service, undergo a large-scale change programme, or
develop significant new relationships, such as joining with others to form new partnerships.
The reason that so many major change programmes fail (over 75 per cent, according to
various research studies) is that they do not recognise the need to take a holistic view of all
the systems - technical, human, financial, and marketing - and they do not involve a wide
range of stakeholders in designing and implementing the change.
Group needs
These concern the performance of a particular group, which may be a team,
department, function, sub-unit, or so on. Information about this group′s performance may
identify areas of need - which, again, may be for training or other interventions.
I1: implementing level
In this case ITN is about finding out how efficiently a particular team or group goes
about its business and meets its current objectives.
I2: improving level
This level is where many continuous improvement projects are to be found, because
these are usually carried out by teams. The team is able to identify improvement areas and
also works together effectively to carry out many process and systems improvements.
I3 : innovating level
By working effectively with other teams across boundaries, major changes can be
brought about, better relationships and communications be established, and new ways of
working together be formed.
Individual needs
These concern the performance of one or more individuals (as individuals, rather
than as members of a group). Again this information may identify specific needs.
I1: Implementing level
Here ITN is about finding out to what extent individuals need to learn or be trained
28
• to bring their current performance up to the required level
• as a result of changes in methods and processes that call for new competencies and
skills.

comes. These types of people are well known people in their particular job. They are not
able to handle the different machines. They feel problem in some job.
After that the third category comes, that is called adequate. This type is not
beneficial for the company. So that they are not acceptable. They have less knowledge and
not will to work.
Highly efficient person is well-known about their job. He can handle any situation. So
that this type of people doesn’t require training.
Efficient people are master of just on job. So that they need training to be highly
efficient worker.
Company is giving training to the efficient worker. For them there are three types of training;
• Counseling
• Give the opportunity to work with highly efficient worker.
• Give the expert knowledge about the work.
In counseling the instructor or line in charge counsel the worker. A line in charge
tries to motivate the worker to do their job in proper way. This is a verbal communication.
With the help of words a senior person tries to make them as effective as highly efficient
worker.
The second option “provide them opportunity to work with highly efficient people”
helps those people to learn. During the work he can watch how the highly efficient people
work? How can they handle the situation? They got the idea about the problem, which may
be arising during the work. They also get the idea about dealing those types of problems.
This way an efficient worker is developed to be highly efficient worker.
Before start working every worker should get the knowledge about the job profile.
Without proper knowledge no one can perform better. There must be some defective in the
product due to less knowledge about the production process. So specific knowledge is
essential for zero-defect product. This is the duty of management to educate them and
provide full knowledge about the production process and quality control.
For adequate people company has some other way for giving them training. The
work pressure is the best way for make them work. Under this the adequate person is send
to work between two highly efficient workers. Highly efficient people can work faster than
adequate person. So from both sides he faces the pressure for work faster and effectively.
This way an adequate worker can be the efficient and highly efficient worker for company.
In any company some factor effect the training:
• Strategies changes
31
• Technical changes
• Matter of cost saving
If the top management of the company want to change their strategies. Here
company wants trained people for work. So firstly company looked for the experienced
people, but it is very difficult to get trained people. So they hired semi- skilled people and
after joining them they give them training. So that this can work effectively and according to
the requirement of the company.
If company wants some technical change in product, they also require trained people
for work. Technical change requires more technical people. If company wants to retain the
same people who are working form last some times then company has to give them
training. After getting training a worker can adjust in any environment and work effectively.
Today’s era is the cost cutting era. In the intensive competition cost of the product is
very important. We can’t survive in the market with high cost. So we need to cut the cost of
the product. For cutting the cost we need more trained worker who can work faster and
quickly. So that the production time can be reduced. At lastly we can get the low price
product.
So that in every area we need trained people. For getting trained people we have to make
them trained by giving training.
Supervisory training:
Supervisory training needs reveal utmost divergence in view of divergent duties of
supervisors. Employee attitude surveys help in identifying area of supervisory training.
Likewise, supervisors themselves may be requested to indicate the areas where they need
training. Frequently, these surveys indicate that supervisors need training in human
relations, production control, company policies and how to instruct. Supervisory courses
consist of job methods training (JMT) and job relations training (JRT). The JMT helps the
supervisors to improve methods in their departments, while the JRT helps them in handling
human relations problems in their departments.

same physical and social environment in which they will be working once the formal training
period is completed.
Types of on the job techniques:
Job instruction training
Job rotation
Apprenticeship
Coaching
Vestibule training
Job instruction training:
Job instruction training (JIT) is received directly on the job and so it is called “on the
job training” it is used primarily to teach workers how to do their current jobs. The worker
learns to master the operation involved on the actual job situation under the supervision of
his immediate boss who has to carry the primary burden of conducting the training. Usually
no special equipment or space is needed, since now employees are trained at the actual
job location.
Steps of job instruction training:
The trainee receives an overview of the job, its purpose and its desired outcomes with
an emphasis on the relevance of the training. Since the employee is shown the action
that the job requires, the training is transferable to the job.
The employee is allowed to mimic the trainer’s example. Demonstration by the trainer
and practice by the trainee are repeated until the job is mastered. Repeated
demonstrations and practice provide repetition and feedback. Finally the employee
performs the job without supervision, although the trainer may visit the employee to see
if there are any lingering questions.
Advantages:
Easy organized
Realistic
Stimulates high motivation
Speeds up worker’s adjustment
Less costly
33
Disadvantages:
The disadvantage of this method is that the assigned instructor may be a poor
teacher. The worker may haste for immediate production, so the actual cost may increase.
JOB ROTATION:
Some trainers move a trainee from job to job. Each worker move normally is
preceded by job instruction training. This is a method of training wherein workers rotate
through a variety of jobs. Thereby providing them a wide exposure. Trainees are placed in
different jobs in different parts of the organization for a specified period of time. They may
spend several days or even years in different company locations. In this way they get an
overall perspective of the organization. It is used with both blue-collar production workers
and white collar managers and it has many organizational benefits. Job rotation creates
flexibility, during manpower shortages, workers have the skills to step in and fill open slots.
The method also provides new and different work on a systematic basis, giving employees
a variety of experiences and challenges. Employees also increase their flexibility and
marketability because they can perform a wide array of tasks.
Apprenticeship:
An apprentice is a worker who is learning a trade but who has not reached the state
where he is competent to work without supervision. It is particularly common in the skilled
trades. In organization a new worker is “tutored” by an established worker for a long period
of time. An apprenticeship lasts from two to five years. Each apprentice is usually given a
workbook consisting of reading materials, tests to be taken and practice problem to be
solved. This training is used in such trades, crafts and technical fields in which proficiency
can be acquired after a relatively long period of time in direct association with the work and
under the direct supervision of experts. Training is intense, lengthy and usually on a one to
one basis.
34
all grappling with how to design educational reforms and education/training strategies that
will improve the skills of America's current and future workforce.
In the spirit of this reform, one particular training strategy -- apprenticeship -- has
captured the interest of many policy makers, educators, and others who are involved in the
national reform movement. Its growing appeal comes as no surprise and, perhaps, is long
overdue. Experience both in the U.S. and growing abroad has repeatedly demonstrated
that apprenticeship is a highly effective strategy for preparing people for work. The bulk of
apprenticeship programs offered in the U.S. and its territories are in the building trades and
manufacturing industries, but there is significant potential to develop apprenticeship
programs in a variety of other industries.
35
for the operation of formal apprenticeship training programs in the U.S.; regulations that
implement these laws are in force today. These laws and regulations establish
minimum requirements for protecting the welfare of the apprentice such as the length of
training, the type and amount of related instruction, supervision of the apprentice,
appropriate ratios of apprentices to journeypersons, apprentice selection and
recruitment procedures, wage progression, safety, etc.
36
fundamental qualities as training program sponsorship and location, the skills required, the
value attached to the credential earned, curricula content that is defined exclusively by the
workplace, wage requirements, the written agreement, and the implicit social contract that
exists between program sponsors and their participants. No other training strategy provides
for this unique combination of characteristics. When a person completes a registered
apprenticeship program, he or she is prepared to go to work as a fully trained, competent
journeyperson whose skills enable him or her to perform effectively in the workplace. Few, if
any, other types of educational programs can make this claim.
A Policy Recommendation
As the education and training system in this country undergoes its restructuring, how
apprenticeship fits in must be considered. Some may argue that the definition of
apprenticeship should be boarded to encompass some or all of the previously described
alternative training strategies. Unfortunately, this could have the practical effect of seriously
undermining a tried and true training strategy -- on that, ironically, exhibits all ten qualities
that reformers are striving to achieve in new training designs. Of particular concern is the
possibility that an expanded definition could significantly dilute the value and meaning
attached to the apprenticeship credential. Today, an apprentice who earns a Certificate of
Completion and attains journey worker status from a registered apprenticeship program
knows that he or she has acquired industry-defined skills at industry-accepted standards of
performance and can reasonably expect to be gainfully employed in his or her occupational
area. If alternative training strategies (ones that do not fully conform to the essential
components) are also permitted to call themselves "apprenticeship," the apprenticeship
credential stands to become devalued. Such a step makes little sense at a time when other
credentials -- such as high school diplomas -- have lost much of their meaning.
Thus, we conclude that their term "apprenticeship" should be reserved only for those
programs that adhere to the eight essential components described previously. Other
strategies may seek to adopt designs that conform to all the essential components, in which
case they may be called apprenticeship. But to call any other types of programs
"apprenticeship" is to do a major disservice to the participants in such programs. Whether
intentional or not, the participants may be misled into thinking that completion of these
programs will allow them to reap the benefits accorded to graduates of true apprenticeship
programs.
Clearly, we are on the verge of a major revolution with respect to how America
prepares its workforce. As a new national training system emerges in the coming years,
37
considerable thought should be given to the role of true apprenticeship in that new system.
One on hand, apprenticeship could be the locomotive that drives this training system.
Under this scenario, apprenticeship programs would serve as the principal form of training
for preparing the majority of the nation's workforce. Alternatively, apprenticeship may
become one of several cars on a train that provides a variety of training options to existing
and future workers. This choice requires further study and broader deliberation, but,
whatever the outcome, the integrity of the term "apprenticeship" should not be jeopardized
or compromised.
Coaching:
At management levels Coaching of immediate subordinates by their managers is
common. A coach attempts to provide a model for the trainee to copy it tends to be less
formal than an apprenticeship program. Coaching is almost always handled by the
supervisor or manager. It is likely not to be as directive approaches such as nondirective
counseling or sensitivity training. If the trainee’s shortcomings are emotional or personal.
Coaching will be ineffective if relations between trainee and coach are ambiguous in that
the trainee cannot trust the coach.
Coaching thrives in a “climate of confidence”, a climate in which subordinates
respect the integrity and capability of their superiors.
Vestibule training:
Vestibule training is a type of instruction often found in production work. A vestibule
consists of training equipment that is set up a short distance from the actual production line.
Trainees can practice in the vestibule without getting in the way or slowing down the
production line. These special training areas are usually used for skilled and semiskilled
jobs, particularly those involving technical equipment.
Vestibule is small, so relatively few people can be trained at the same time. The method is
good for promoting practice a learning principle involving the repetition of behavior.
38
Lectures consist of meeting in which one small number of those present actually
plays an active part. The lecture method is a popular form of instruction in educational
institution. The lecturer may be a member of the company or a guest speaker.
Before preparing the lecture some points should be considered.
• Who is your audience?
• What is your audience?
• What is the time available?
• What is the subject mater?
The lecture should be brief and to the point, presenting the theme of the subject in a
manner that arouses the interest of the audience from the start. The speaker should be
poised, courteous and sincere. The action should be spontaneous. The role of a lecturer is
make difficult things simple, not the reverse.
Simulation
Simulation is an approach that replicates certain essential characteristics of the real
world organization so that the trainees can react to it as if it were the real thing and then
consequently transfer what has been learned to their job. Simulation training is based on a
reproduction of some aspect of job reality. Simulation usually enhance cognitive skills,
particularly decision making. A very popular training technique for higher level Jobs in which
the employee must process large amounts of information.
Simulations have many forms- some use expensive, technical equipment, while
others are far less costly. Some simulations need only one participant, others may involve
as many as 15-20 people working together as a team. Simulations are a broad based
training techniques that can be adapted to suit a company’s need. By using the equipment
simulators, workers can practice new behaviors and operate certain complex equipment’s
free of danger to themselves. Equipment simulators can range from simple mock-ups to
computer based simulations of complete environments. Some of them are utilized to train a
single individual and the others are used for team training.
Programmed instruction is a training approach which makes the advantages of
private tutoring available to large groups of students beings trained in new skills.
Programmed instruction is one of the innovations in teaching technology developed in
recent years. The methods involves an actual piece of equipment, usually called
Teaching machine, of a specially constructed paper booklet.
39
The participants are active in the training process. In fact they determine their own
learning pace.
What is to be learned involves many discrete pieces of material, and the participants get
immediate feedback on whether they have learned each piece.
The major advantage of programmed instruction is that is reduces the training time.
The learning takes place at the students own pace. Participants get immediate feedback.
The participants are active learners, there is constant exchange of information between
themselves and the programme. Fast learners do not have to wait for slow ones to catch
up. Administrative simplicity and increased productivity in training result in lower training
cost per student.
The biggest disadvantage of this method is the absence of a teacher. The book
becomes the teacher. Hence it is absolutely essential that the trainee is highly motivated to
continue learning. The material has to be broken down into a logical sequence, since there
may be several correct ways to perform the task. This methods does not appear to improve
training performance in terms of immediate learning of retention over a time compares with
conventional methods.
40
co-participants; to develop sound judgement through greater insight into human behavior.
This method is suitable for training and development students, without any experience.
The participants are divided into groups consisting of about eight to ten participants.
These groups are called “syndicates”. Each syndicate functions as a team that can
represent various functional as well as interest areas. The syndicates are given
assignments which have to be finished and a report submitted by a specified date and time.
By rotation each member of the syndicate becomes the leader for completing a specific
task. Each assignment to a syndicate is given in the form of a “Brief”. This is a carefully
prepared document by the faculty. Generally, each syndicate is required to submit a report
which is circulated to other syndicates for critical evaluation.
The advantages of this method is that it secures a very high level of involvement
from the participants. Their own experience is the starting point in this method. It is a
process of self business and development for participants. This method also gives the
participant a practice in communicating with his colleagues and understanding them.
If the syndicate is not structured properly, it should lead to a lot of wastage of time
and cause frustration. In the absence of proper pressure on the participants by trainers or
participants themselves, some participants might start dragging their feet. Differences of
opinion or viewpoint may be ignored to avoid action.
Behavior Modeling
According to social learning theory, most human behavior is learned observationally
through modeling. When social learning theory is applied in industrial training programmes,
it is commonly referred to as “behavior modeling”. Used behavior modelling to improve the
interpersonal and communication skills of supervisors in dealing with their employees. The
topic was first introduction by the trainers after which a film was shown to the trainees which
depicted a supervisor model effectively handing a situation, followed by a set of three to six
learning parts that were shown in the film immediately before and after the model was
presented. A group discussion is them held in which the effectiveness of the method is
discussed. After this, the practice session starts in which one of the trainee assumes the
role of an employee. And then, feedback from the training class is given on the
effectiveness of each trainee in demonstrating the desired behavior.
At the end of each training session, the trainees are given copies of the learning
points and are asked to try and apply them to their jobs during the following week. It has
been found that this programme has had desirable effects on learning, behavior and
performance criteria.
41
There creation of the behavior may be videotaped so that the trainer and the trainee
can review and critique it. When watching the ideal behavior, the trainee also gets to see
the negative consequences that befall someone who does not use it as recommended. By
observing the positive and negative consequences, the employee receives vicarious
reinforcement that encourages the correct behavior.
Counselling:
It helps the trainees to observe their weaknessed and involves measures to
overcome them. It is related to periodic appraisals of ratings. Specifically counselling
purports to help the subordinates to do a better job, provides a clear picture of how they are
doing, build strong personal relationships and eliminate, of at least minimize anxiety.
Understudies System:
In this the trainees work directly with individuals whom they are likely to replace.
However,it is disappointing as a training because of a likelihood of an imitation of weak as
well as strong points of the seniors.
Special Project Arrangements;
These are likely to be highly effective training systems. In these systems, a task
force is built representing varied functions in the company. The special project enable the
trainees to achieve knowledge of the subject assigned as well as to learn how to deal with
others having varied viewpoints.

3.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1TITLE OF MY PROJECT:
study of training & development at
dabur India ltd.
In Dabur India Ltd., Alwar. Need based system of importing training is followed.
Training is based on the frequency of defects found during the production. Job
supervisor is vigilantly watching each and every product. If he find any defect in the
product, he instructs the worker to do right way. If no. of worker are doing same mistake,
than all of them are taken in a group and provided training spontaneously & the
process in reurded. This way only defective based training is provided by the company.
My training in Dabur India Ltd. was from 15 th may to 30th june 2011 . They were
approximately for working days.
3.3 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the project is to “study training and development in company.” As we
know that training is an important factor for growing because growth is lifeline for the
company.
The main motto of this project was to know, how company conducts training
program. What are the basic requirements during this process? How does the company
come to know that some body needs training? After providing them training analysis is
required. Analysis makes the management aware of the workers or staffs whosoever had
gone through the training. Development is the main objective of any training. If there is no
any development, the objective of training is not achieved. So for achieving the objective,
development is very much required.
The way of analyzing of the training should be carefully developed. Because a good
analysis reflects the true figure of the development of trainees. How the company analyses
the training is a subject to be learnt.
So the ultimate goal of this project is to study the way of providing training as well as
the way of measure the development of trainees in Dabur India Ltd.

Words used in questionnaire will be readily understandable to all respondent. Also technical
jargons will be avoided to ensure that there is no confusion for respondents.
3.6SCOPE OF STUDY:
As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as breathing. Despite of the fact that
learning is all pervasive in our lives, psychologists do not agree on how learning takes
place. How individuals learn is a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teach
consumers in their roles as their roles as consumers. They want consumers to learn about
their products, product attributes, potential
consumers benefit, how to use, maintain or even dispose of the product and new ways of
behaving that will satisfy not only the consumer’s needs, but the marketer’s objectives.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perception
and consumption of Dabur .
There are many other brands of available but my study is limited to two major players of
leaving behind the others. The scope of my study is also restricts itself to Alwar region only.
3.7LIMITATIONS
Training is a costly affair for the management. It needs a handsome amount and
long time. So management has to play safe game for the benefits of the company as well
as the workers. One wrong decision may enforce the company to fall into deep troubles. So
selecting the weak areas of staffs and workers should be done very carefully. For that the
management should be conduct a test.
For providing an effective training, company requires a knowledgeable trainer.
Selecting a particular trainer is again a difficult job. Trainer demands handsome money.
Training needs time and cost both.
To conclude, it is very clear that training should be provided but not at the loss of the
company. It is very costly and time taking affair. But it is most important for the development
of the company. So management can’t avoid it at any cost.

Before any training program should there be any test for the purpose of selection of the
trainees. Regarding this out of 20, 10 trainee’s replies in the favour of the test and 10 were
against any such test. There is a no difference between both the views. So it is difficult to
choose any one. In my opinion, before selecting a trainee there must be a test conducted
by the trainer. It will help him to identify better trainees.

Responding this 27 out of 45 workers tell that they don’t want to go through any test and
rest 18 want to go through such test process.
The evolution of any program is very much require for the future. It can be done by asking
the trainees.

7.CONCLUSIONS
The Chyawanprash Industry is yet to capture the beverage market in full swing. Packed
Chyawanprash followed by Amla, Ashwagandha, Hareetaki, Dashmul, Ghrit and several
other herbs and herbal extracts. the market. The consumer’s patriotic love for tea and
61
coffee is unfared. Chyawanprash are yet to establish their supplement use in the average
household here in lies the great opportunities. Within the market, it is safe to conclude that
dabur has hit off ratherwell with the masses. dabur has clearly lost it head start advantage
and thereby acquiring just 35% of the market share while others enjoys rest of the market
share. This could be well attributed to dabor successful ATA (Availability, Taste and
Affordability) marketing module, the attributes most rated by the consumers. Lack of
publicity has hampered the growth progress of the brand so aggressive advertising is
needed to promote Chyawanprash and vatika hair oil brand .The brands such as that of
Chyawanprash by vednath, Chyawanprash with its ‘sonacahndi, ‘Minute- made’ and also
US food giantssDel Monte are ready to hit the Chyawanprash market very soon.
As 16% of the excise duty is exempted on food products in this budget , Many food
companies including Dabur got benefited from it . On the analysis of survey it was found
that target Market of Chyawanprash want quality benefit rather then Price benefit, so it is
better to stress on quality rather than on decreasing price to increase sales and profit. To
increase market share Dabur should give slight price benefit on Dabur brand so that
customers of other Juice brand should switch from other brand to Dabur brand .

Be the preferred company to meet the health and personal grooming needs of our target
consumers with safe, efficacious, natural solutions by synthesizing the deep knowledge
of ayurveda and herbs with modern science.
Vatika hair care centre: On the lines of Marico’s Kaya Skin Clinic, Dabur could start a
venture called Vatika hair care centre which would provide total hair care solutions. It
could have hair care experts to solve hair problems.Services could include dandruff
treatment, straightening of hair, treatment for split ends,etc.
Suggestions
There is no gainsay regarding the training programs enhance the quality of the
performance. No one is perfect in his respective field. A full flazed training program makes
trainees complete performer in their respective areas.
Every company looks for a worker, who can work effectively. They are in search of a
person who has the maximum skills required for the job. After selecting the right person, the
company’s main aim is to make that person a perfect workman. For this they provide them
training.
First of all the management should look for that areas where workers needs training.
For this purpose management should keep eyes on each and every activity of the workers
and staffs whosoever may need training. This is a long and time taking process. In this way
the next step would be to select the trainees. There should develop a mechanism for
selecting the trainees. There should be a test for this purpose. This will give the idea about
the weak and strong points of trainees. It will be very fruitful in designing the contents of
training program.
The printed material is very useful in training. These materials should be given before
the training. Written material would provide the overall idea about the training and make the
trainees understand better.
63
Before developing the training contents some points should be taken care of. There
should be some practical values in that. The training should include new ideas and should
be helpful in the development of trainees. It must be relevant to the hob of workers and
staffs. In the training process the efficient use of time should be made as time is the most
important factor in any job.
The frequency of training program is according to the requirement and convenience
of the trainees as well as the management. Workers require more training so they need one
in every six month. Staffs required less training in the compression of workers, so they
required at least on training program every year.
The duration of any event is the most important, which maker any program
successful or fail. It should be according to the needs of the trainees of participants. In my
opinion the sduration of the training would be 16 hours.
