INTRODUCTION
Training and Development programmes are considered to be one of the
important aspects of organization development. It is an act of increasing the
knowledge and skill of employee for doing a particular job. For learning to be
effective individuals and organization must acquire relevant training capabilities and
successfully apply them to the actual work situation. In modern industrialized
economy the training has become a major activity in any working organization. Today
the organization seeks the latest means and methods by which they could develop
their through training.
Training programmes are necessary in any organization for improving the
quality of work of employees at all levels particularly in a world of fast changing
technology, changing values and environment. There has been growing need to find
ways to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of such training programmes both
in terms or organization and training institution.
Training is a practical and vital necessity, for, it enables employees to develop
and rise with in the organization and increase their “Market Value, Earning Power and
Job Security”. In training the focus is on learning by an individual the new ways of
doing things. Hence training is organized on the needs of the people, the projects and
the programmes and therefore is performances oriented.
Training motivates employees to understand and develop their creative
potential for the quality which has become imperative need of every model,
progressive and forward looking industry.

The purpose of the training is to help meet company objectives by providing
opportunities for employees at all organization levels to acquire the requisite
knowledge, skill and attitudes, further training should be conducted in the actual job
environment to the maximum possible extent.
The subject of the present study.” Training and Development” is an integral
part of Human Resource Development [HRD]. The word “Resource” refers to the
productive power of natural goods. Human Resource is, therefore the productive
power in human beings. Unlike the material resources, human resources are the
particulars as also the beneficiaries of economic development process. Human
Resource Development has gained increasing attention in last decade from Human
Resource Specialist, Training and Development Professionals, Chief Executives and
Line Managers. Many dimensions of human resource development have been
integrated into Research, Training Organizational Design and Change.
Human Resource Development in organizational context is a process by which
the employees of an organization are helped in a continuous, and planned way to:
Acquire or sharpen capabilities require or sharpen capabilities required to perform
various functions associated with their present or expected future roles.

important industries in the world, which provides employment to 25 million people in
the world.
MAJOR MANUFACTURING REGIONS:
Northeastern United States and Southern Great Lakes Region, Northwestern
Europe, Western Russia and the Ukraine, and Japan are the major manufacturing
regions of automotive in the world. The worldwide automobile industry is largely
15
dominated by five leading automobile manufacturing corporations namely Toyota,
General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen AG, and Daimler Chrysler.
These corporations have their presence in almost every country and they continue to
invest into production facilities in emerging markets namely Latin America, Middle
East, Eastern Europe, China, Malaysia and other markets in Southeast Asia with the
main aim of reducing their production costs.

components industry group's value. The global automotive component industry is
highly diverse and comprises of various product segments like engine parts, drive
transmission and steering parts, suspension & braking parts, electrical parts and other
auto components parts. Engine Parts segment in the automotive component industry
comprises of different parts like engine parts, fuel delivery system and products such
as pistons, piston rings, engine valves, carburetors, and diesel-based fuel delivery
systems. Engine parts form one of largest product segment of the automotive
components industry and have a production share of 31%. A technology intensive
16
segment, engine parts are moving towards improved designs for optimal fuel
consumption and lesser emission.
The latest trend in this sector is of outsourcing a part of the engine from
vendors. Electrical Parts segment comprises of generators, starter motors and spark
plugs. An important and relatively larger product segment - engine parts are gaining

KEY INDUSTRY DRIVERS:
The highlighting features of global automotive industry are:
Offers support to other industries such as iron, steel, rubber, glass, plastic,
petroleum, textiles, oil & gas, paints & coatings, transportation industries.
Rising foreign investments have led to the rapid growth in terms of automobile
production and exports. Overseas companies are making huge investments and
are installing extensive production capacities in developing countries.
17
Continuous investment in research & development has resulted in increased
productivity and better quality automobiles, automotive accessories and parts.
Increase in standards of living and purchasing power parity have resulted in
the increase demand of automobiles especially four-wheelers in developing
nations, mostly in South Asian region.
This sector provides employment to major chunk of human population in the
world i.e. 25 million. This industry not only provides millions of jobs to the
people, but also produces billions of dollars in terms of worldwide revenues.
Adequate infrastructural facilities in form of power supply, machinery, capital,
ready availability of raw materials and labor help in the tremendous growth of
this industry.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The automotive industry is witnessing tremendous and unprecedented changes
these days. This industry is slowly and gradually shifting towards Asian countries,
mainly because of saturation of automobile industry in the western world. The
principal driving markets for Asian automotive industry are China, India and ASEAN
nations.
Low cost vehicles namely scooters, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles have
led to the massive growth of some of the fastest developing economies like China and
India. The future of automotive industry in the Asian countries such as Thailand,
Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia is bright and promising because of the ASEAN
free trade area under which the export tariffs are very less.
18
On a global scale, the assets of the top ten automotive corporations accounts
for 28% of the assets of the world's top 50 companies, 29% of their employment and
30% of their total sales. In the year 2006, the United States of America sold around 16
million of new automobiles, Western Europe sold around 15 million, while China and
India sold 4 million and one million respectively. Latin America, Middle East,
Eastern Europe, China, Malaysia and other South-Asian nations are now emerging as
the dominant markets of the automotive industry.
MARKET FORECASTS:
With the upcoming marketing strategies of the manufacturers, the auto parts
industry is expected to have reached a value of USD 586 billion by year 2009.
According to reports, the compound annual growth rate of this industry is
2.6% for the period of 2004 - 2009.

US$ 1.9 trillion. With different low cost countries emerging at a fast pace in this
industry, it is also expected that around 40% of the money will be sourced from such
countries. India is one of such low cost countries. At present, it has only 0.4% of the
global auto components trade of US$ 185 billion. By the year 2025, it is expected that
India might be among the top five auto component
The automobile industry has changed the way people live and work. The
earliest of modern cars was manufactured in the year 1895. Shortly the first
appearance of the car followed in India. As the century turned, three cars were
imported in Mumbai (India). Within decade there were total of 1025 cars in the city.
Dawn of automobile actually goes back to 4000 years when the first wheel
was used for transportation in India. In the beginning of 15th century Portuguese
arrived in China and the interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new
technologies, including the creation of a wheel that turned under its own power. By
1600s small steam-powered engine models was developed, but it took another century
before a full-sized engine-powered vehicle was created.

HISTORY OF AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY ACROSS THE
WORLD
AUSTRALIA
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA
Australia first began to produce cars in 1897 with cars made by Tarrant Motor
& Engineering Co. The first major Australian carmaker was the Ford Motor Company
of Australia, followed by Holden.
BRAZIL
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL
The Brazilian automotive industry produced almost 3 million vehicles in 2007.
Most of large global companies are present in Brazil; such as Fiat, Volkswagen
Group, Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Toyota, MAN SE, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz,
Renault etc, and also the emerging national companies such as Troller, Marcopolo
S.A., Agrale, Randon S.A. among others.
The Brazilian industry in regulated by the Associação Nacional dos
Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (Anfavea), created in 1956, which includes
automakers (automobiles, light vehicles, trucks and buses) and agriculture machines
with factories in Brazil. Anfavea is part of the Organisation Internationale des
Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), based in Paris.
21
CANADA
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN CANADA
Canada is currently the 11th largest auto producer in the world (as per 2008
statistics), down from 7th a few years ago. Brazil and Spain recently surpassed
Canadian production for the first time ever. Canada's highest ranking ever was 2nd
largest producer in the world between 1918 and 1923. The Canadian auto industry
traces its roots to the very beginning of the automobile. The first large-scale
production of automobiles in Canada took place in Walkerville, near Windsor,
Ontario in 1904. In the first year of operations, Gordon McGregor and Wallace
Campbell, along with a handful of workmen produced 117 Model "C" Ford vehicles
at the Walkerville Wagon Works factory.
Through marquees such as Brooks Steam, Redpath, Tudhope, McKay, Galt
Gas-Electric, Gray-Dort, Brockville Atlas, C.C.M., and McLaughlin, Canada had
many domestic auto brands. In 1918 McLaughlin was bought by an American firm,
General Motors, and was re-branded as General Motors of Canada. Driven by the
demands of World War I, Canada's automotive industry had grown, by 1923, into the
second-largest in the world, although it was still made up of relatively inefficient
plants producing many models behind a high tariff wall. High consumer prices and
production inefficiencies characterized the Canadian auto industry prior to the signing
of the 1965 Automotive Products Trade Agreement with the United States.
The 1964 Automotive Products Trade Agreement or “Auto Pact” represents
the single most important factor in making the Canadian automotive industry what it
is today: a strong, successful industry that has a significant positive impact on the
22
Canadian economy. Key features of the Auto Pact were the 1:1 production to sales
ratio and Canadian Value Added requirements.
Magna International is Canada's biggest domestic firm in the sector, and is the
world's third-largest auto parts firm, producing entire vehicles at its Magna Steyr plant
in Austria.
CHINA
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN CHINA
China's automobile industry has been developing rapidly since the year 2000. In 2008,
9.345 million motor vehicles were manufactured in China, surpassing the United
States as the second largest automobile maker, after Japan. Moreover, due to the
current financial crisis, China was the largest automobile market and manufacturer in
the world for the first 11 months of year 2009, with total sales of 12.23 million, and
total production of 12.27 million vehicles. China will surpass United States and
become the largest car market for the whole year of 2009. The top eight car sellers for
the first nine months of 2009 are General Motors, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Chana,
Nissan, Chery, BYD and Toyota
GERMANY

Automotive industry in Germany
Volkswagen assembly line, Wolfsburg, in 1973
The petrol engined automobile was invented in Germany by Karl Benz.
Furthermore, the four-stroke internal combustion engine used in most automobiles
worldwide today was invented by Nikolaus Otto in Germany. In addition, the diesel
engine was also invented by German Rudolf Diesel.
Germany is famous for the high-performance and high-quality sports cars
made by Porsche, and the cars of Mercedes, Audi and BMW are famous for their
quality and technological innovation. Daimler-Benz's predecessor Daimler-Motoren-
Gesellschaft was the industry's oldest firm, Daimler-Benz company dates from 1926.
In 1998, it bought the American automobile manufacturer Chrysler, then sold out in
2007 at a heavy loss, as it never managed to bring the division to long term
profitability.
In the popular market, Opel and Volkswagen are most well known. Opel was a
bicycle company that started making cars in 1898; General Motors bought it out in
1929, but the Nazi government took control, and GM wrote off its entire investment.
In 1948, GM returned and restored the Opel brand. Volkswagen is dominant in the
popular market; it purchased Audi in 1964, which eventually lead to the formation of
todays' Volkswagen Group. Volkswagen's most famous car was the small, beetle-
24
shaped economical "people's car", with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. It was
designed in the 1930s by Ferdinand Porsche upon orders from Adolf Hitler, who was
himself a car enthusiast. However, production models only appeared after the war;
until then, only rich Germans had automobiles. By 1950, Volkswagen was the largest
German automobile producer. Today, the Group is one of the three biggest
automotive companies in the world, and the largest in Europe; and is now part-owned
by Porsche Automobil Holding SE In the meantime, ten different car manufacturers
belong to the multicorporate enterprise: Porsche AG, Volkswagen, Audi AG, Bugatti
Automobiles SAS, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., Bentley Motors Limited, Škoda
Auto, SEAT, S.A., along with truck makers MAN AG and Scania AB.
Germany is famous for its upscale saloons. They feature advanced suspension
systems that provide both a soft ride, and good handling characteristics. Many
manufacturers limit their automobiles electronically to driving speeds of
250 kilometres per hour (155 mph) for safety reasons. For factory-tuned models like
Mercedes-AMG from Mercedes Benz, Audi RS from quattro GmbH, and BMW M
from BMW M GmbH, for an additional payment, it is possible to derestrict their top
speed, so that the fastest models easily reach more than 300 kilometres per hour
(186 mph).
INDIA
25
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
An embryonic automotive industry started in India in the 1940s. However, for
the next 50 years, the growth of the industry was hobbled by the Socialist policies and
the bureaucratic hurdles of the license raj. Following economic liberalisation in India
from 1991, and the gradual easing of restrictions on industry, India has seen a
dynamic 17% annual growth in automobile production and 30% annual growth in
exports of automotive components and automobiles. India produces around 2 million
automobiles currently. The Largest companies in India are TATA and Mahindra &
Mahindra. Total turnover of the Indian automobile industry is expected to grow from
USD 34 Billion in 2006 to USD 122 Billion in 2016. Tata Motors has just launched
Tata Nano, the cheapest car in the world at USD 2200. Recently India has overtaken
China in global auto exports of compact car this year . Suzuki Motor Corp, Hyundai
Motor Co, and Nissan Motor Co are making India a manufacturing hub of minicars.
ITALY
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN ITALY
The automotive industry in Italy began with the construction of the first FIAT
plant (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) in 1899 by Giovanni Agnelli. In the
following years at least 50 other manufacturers appeared, the best known being Isotta
Fraschini in 1900, Lancia in 1906, Alfa Romeo in 1910, Maserati in 1914, Ferrari in
1939, and Lamborghini in 1963. During the first and the second World Wars and the
economic crisis of the 70's, many of these brands disappeared or were bought by Fiat
or foreign manufacturers. Today the Italian automotive industry boasts a wide range
of products, from very compact city cars to sport supercars such as Ferrari and
26
Maserati. As of June 2009 Fiat also holds roughly 20% stake in the American brand
Chrysler.
JAPAN
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN JAPAN
Japan, with its large population squeezed into very high density cities with
good public transit, has limited roadways that carry very heavy traffic. Hence, most
automobiles are small in terms of size and weight. From a humble beginning, Japan is
now the biggest auto manufacturing country in the world. Nissan began making trucks
in 1914, and sold cars under the Datsun brand until it switched to Nissan in the 1980s.
It opened its first U.S. plant in Tennessee in the early 1980s, and a U.K. plant in 1986.
In the North American markets, its luxury models carry the brand Infiniti. Honda,
which began with motorcycles, emerged after World War II. In the North American
markets, its luxury vehicles are sold under the Acura brand. Toyota began making
cars in the 1930s, and is now the world's largest producer. The Toyota Corolla is the
world's best selling nameplate. Its luxury models carry the Lexus brand. Toyota is
famous for its innovative, quality-conscious management style, and its hybrid gas-
electric vehicles, especially the Prius, which was launched in 1997. Other major
companies include Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Daihatsu, Suzuki, and Isuzu. Japan's
production of cars increased from 3.179 million to 7.038 million between 1970 and
1980, while demand for larger American cars was disastrously falling. Japanese cars
are often credited with superior reliability and dependability, efficiency, and advanced
technology.
SOUTH KOREA

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN SOUTH KOREA
Assembly line at Hyundai Motor Company car factory in Ulsan, South Korea.
The South Korean automobile industry is today the fifth largest in the world in
terms of production volume and the sixth largest in terms of export volume. 50 years
ago, its initial operations were merely the assembling of parts imported from Japan
and the United States. The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group is today the second largest
automaker in Asia, after Toyota. Annual domestic output exceeded one million units
in 1988. In the 1990s, the industry manufactured numerous in-house models,
demonstrating not only its capabilities, and signaling its coming of age thanks to the
heavy investment to infrastructure in the country over the decades. The quality of
their automobiles has improved dramatically in recent years, gaining international
recognition.
SPAIN
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN SPAIN
In 2009 the automotive industry generated 3.5 percent of the country`s GDP
and gave employment to about nine percent of the working population. Spain is on the
eight place in car manufacturing countries, but 2008 and 2009 showed a decrease in
car production. The downward spiral started about ten year ago, with an abandoning
28
policy of many consecutive governments. The result has been the loss of all Spanish
car brands manufacturers, which are now in hands of foreign companies.
THAILAND
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN THAILAND
The Thai-based automobile manufacturer is ThaiRung or well-known as TR,
manufactured by Thai Rung Union Car Public Co. Ltd. (TRU). The company was
established in 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand. Original name was Thai Rung Engineering
Co. Ltd., and changed its name to Thai Rung Union Car Co. Ltd. in 1973. TRU was
listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1994. TRU business is ranging from
product design and development, automotive parts manufacturing, industrial
equiptemnts manufacturing, car assembly lines and financial business. Some
discontinued TR vans powered by Land Rover engine in combination with Thai-
developed body design and platform. Modern TR cars are built on small or medium
trucks base into SUV or seven-seat multi-purpose vehicles using TR-owned
technology, design, development and assembly skills. The current models are 2009
TR Adventure and TR Allroader.
UNITED KINGDOM

The British motor industry has always been export oriented. Today it employs
about 850,000 people and produces about 1.5 million cars and 216,000 commercial
vehicles per year, 75% of which are exported. The top five UK car producers are
Nissan, Toyota, Honda, MINI and Land Rover. However, international
competitiveness of UK cars has declined consistently since the 1990s and the country
became unable to sustain production on par with Germany or France. Since 2000,
motor vehicle production fell from 1,813,894 to 1,750,253. The country has been
overtaken by fast industrialising economies such as Brazil, India and Mexico. The UK
is the 13th largest automobile producer in the world.

2) Specific skills
3) Human relations
4) Problem solving
5) Managerial and supervisory skills
6) Apprentice training
ROLE OF A TRAINER:
The conventional view about the role of a triner is to conduct the training
programmes. A good trainer must necessarily be able to take sessions in different
training courses. His ratings in these trainings programs mostly determine his success
or other wise as a trainer. Because of industrial revolution there has been a stress on
manufacturing function, as the industrial revolution was brought about by the
technology of mass production personnel managers on man power development
managers working in the manufacturing culture of organizations took a manufacturing
approach to development of human resources. This approach starts with a belief that
as raw material by processing is converted to final product so is a human resource
53
which when put through different development programmes is converted into a good
human resource. Thus the trainer became a “manufacturer” of training programmes.
EVALUTION OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMME:
Trainers today are so busy conduction training programmes that they have not
time to find out what results their training efforts have produced. There is a famous
joke about training effectiveness. On a request from the king, a trainer aggresses to
teach the kings horses to fly in a year. To his surprised and apprehensive friends he
says, “Who worry? With in a year many things could happen. The king could die, or I
may dies, or who knows, the horse may fly”.
Thus the training programmes are conducted with apious hope that they will
have” some: effect
No doubt measuring training effectiveness is a difficult job. However, this
difficult job must be done and done well to ensure the continued faith of management
and training. The usual way to get the done is take some body from out side who
studies the impact of some selected training programmes. He studies and makes a
presentation to the line managers on the results obtained as a result of these training
programmed. The process of training evaluation has been defined as “any attempt to
obtain information on the efforts of training performance and to assess the value of
training the light of that information”. Evolution leads to controlling and correcting
the training programmes. Hamblen suggested Five levels at which evaluation can take
place.

It us the measurement of ultimate result of the contributions of the training
programmes to the company goals like survival, growth, profitability, etc, and to the
individual goals like development of personality and social goals like maximizing

55
PLACE OF TRAINING IN COMPANY MANAGEMENT:
SYSTEMATIC VIEWS OF TRAINING:
The training process involves three major steps. They are Need’s Assessment,
Development and Evaluation.
Needs Assessment --- Development ---- Evaluation
56
Identify needs for training by conducting needs analysis.
- Organization- Task or Job
Identify or develop criteria to evaluate training outcomes.
- Reactions- Learning- Behavior change- Organizational results
Derive instinctual objectives Choose evaluation design
Design a learning environment by Examining:
- Characteristics of adult learners- Leaning principals
Identity or develop training material and methods
Conduct training
Conduct evaluation and cost Effectiveness of training program
NEED’S ASSESSMENT:
The first step in training is to determine whether a need for training actually
exists or not. An organization should commit its recourses to training activity only if
the training can be expected to achieve some organizational goals. The decisional
conduct training must be on the best available data, which is collected by conducting
a need’s assessment. A need’s assessment is a systematic, objective determination of
training needs, which involves conduction three primary types of analysis. They are
organizational analysis, job analysis and person analysis. These analysis are used to
derive objectives for the training programmes.
ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS:
An organizational analysis tries to answer the question of where the training
emphasis should be placed in the company and what factors may effect the training.
The review of short and long terms goals of an organization and any trends that may
effect these goals is done to channel the training towards specific issues of importance
to the firm.
A review of climate and efficiency index is important to identify the problem
that could be elevated through training. Climate indices or quality of work olive
indicates and include records on turnover, grievances, and absenteeism. Productivity,
accidents, attitude surveys, employee suggestions and labour management data. It is
important to identity any organization system constraints or training efforts.
57
JOB ANLYSIS:
Job analysis tries to answer the question of what should be taught in the
training so that the trainee can perform the job satisfactorily. When conducting a job
analysis to determine the training needs, both a worker oriented approach, which
focuses on identifying behaviors and a task oriented approach, which describes the
activities performed should be used
PERSON ANALYSIS:
Person analysis attempts to answer the question of who needs training in the
firm and the specific types of training needed. The performance of individuals, groups
or units or major job duties is compared to the expected performance standards. One
should be able to determine which job incumbents are successful at completing the
tasks required. Performance discrepancies are used to indicate areas which needs
attention. Employees can also be gathered by using a performance test.
DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING PROGRAMME:
After a needs analysis has been conducted and the Human Resource
Professional is confident that training is needed to address the performance problem
or to advance the firms mission, the training programmed is developed. This can be
done by an in-house training staff or by outside consultants. The programmed can be
developed by setting up preconditions for learning and by arranging the training
environment to ensure learning. In designing a training programmed in which learning
will be facilitated, there should be a review of the basic principles of how the
individuals learn.
58
This is to set up effective preconditions for learning so that the trainees will be
prepared for the training programmed, Learning principles should be reviewed and
integrated into the design of the training programmed and the materials. Trainees
must be ready to learn before they are placed in any training programmed. To ensure
this, it should be determined whether trainees are trainable and have the ability and
motivation to lern. They should try to gain the support of training and their
supervisors prior to actually implementing the training programmed.
TRAINBILITY:
Before a learner can benefit from formal training, he/she must be trainable or
ready to learn. This means that the trainee must have both the ability and the
motivation to learn. To have the ability. The trainee must possess the skills and
knowledge prerequisites to master the materials. Assessing trainee’s ability to learn is
of increasing concern to the corporate. It is not only enough for trainees to have
ability to learn the skills, but also must have the desire or motivation to learn..
The assumption is that the individuals who are more highly involved will have
higher motivation to learn. Some companies also link successful completion of
training programmers with compensation.
SUPPORT OF TRAINEES AND OTHERS:
If trainees do not see the value of training, they will be unlikely to learn
polished behavior and use them in their jobs. Trainees should be
Informed in advance about the benefits that will result from training. If they
see some incentives for training, it may strengthen their motivation to learn the
59
behavior; the trainees must point out extrinsic and intrinsic benefits of attending
training. In addition to garnering the support of trainees for training. The support to
their supervisors, co-workers and subordinates should be sought.
Human resource professionals can improve the likelihood of acquiring others
support for training by getting their opinions of the content of training. Location and
time.
TRANSFER OF TRAINING:
The ultimate goal of any organizational training programmed is that the
learning that occurs during training can be transferred back to the job. To maximize
the similarity between the training context and the job context viz., the training
should resemble the job as closely as possible.
Include a variety of stimulus situations in the practice so that trainees will
learn to generalize their knowledge and skills. Label or identify the important features
of the content to be learned, in order to distinguish the major steps involved.
Make sure that the general principles underlying the specific content are
understood thoroughly. Ensure that there is a supportive climate for learning and for
transferring new behavior. This can be done by building managerial support of
training. By providing trainees with the freedom to set personal performance goals,
and by encouraging trainees to take risks.

documentaries showing the possible sources of errors leading to accidents remedial
and preventive measures to be followed, lead to equipping the employees better in the
interest of the worker as well as the employer.

good infrastructural facilities. The infrastructural facilities which are being provided
are highly advanced with modern technology.

motivation among the employees turnover rate in the organization is accordingly very
marginal.
The level of job satisfaction is also high among the employees. Most of
employees found their jobs to be interesting & challenging and they are satisfied with
working conditions of the organization. It can be concluded that a stable & healthy
environment is maintained in organization, which underscores the need continuity for
livelihood of employees.
