Thanks to almighty, with the blessing of which this cherished dream of mine
led to completion of this project with the desired out-com. This project study
was a noble experience for me and without the guidance and cooperation of
concerned people and without concentration, dedication and hard work it was
their help, general hospitality, inspiration and all valuable guidance in various
the help receive from all those who favored me with it in giving the final
shape to my project.
I- INTRODUCTION
“Give a man a fish, and u have given him a meal. Teach man to fish, and you have given
him a livelihood”. This ancient Chinese proverb seems to describe the underlying
rationale of all training and development programmes. No industrial organization can
long ignore the training and development needs of its employees without seriously
inhibiting its performance. Even the most careful selection does not eliminate the need
for training, since people are not moulded to specifications and rarely meet the demands
of their jobs adequately.
The development of high potential workers with the support of continuous training is
now-a-days seen as a core element in the development of competitive advantage of the
organisations. Catalanellow and Redding observe that the recent business success of
leading organizations including Motorola, General Electric and Hewlett-Packard is due to
the systematic management of employee training. Keep has identified a number of
companies in Britain which have integrated training and development into their wider
business planning. A survey in Canada reveals that 60% of business and labour leaders
see education and training as either the first or second most important factor for
improving international competitiveness.
Four important developments, which seem to have contributed in recent years, to greater
attention being given to training are as follows: First, it is now believed that training can
impart almost all skills to an individual. There are only few skills which are ‘inborn’ and
cannot be taught. Second, with the rapid change in technology every individual needs to
be retrained every now and then. Third, it is no longer enough for an individual to update
in his own narrow functional area. He must also possess a general understanding of a task
and processes of other related areas. Finally, due to the increasing emphases on
organizational culture every individual to be able to behave effectively, must be trained in
interpersonal skills also. Globalisation is now making it increasingly essential for all
employees to be aware of diverse gaffes, lifestyle and attitudes of peoples in other
countries as well. They need to learn many things such as how to introduce oneself before
a foreign client, converse and negotiate, talk on telephone, use body language and so on.
To avoid the cultural shocks, cross-cultural orientation of employees is becoming equally
important.
OBJECITIVES OF TRAINING
• To train the employees in the indigenous and alien cultural values.
• To train the employees to increase his quantity and quality of output. This may
involve improvement in work methods of study.
• To train the bright but dronish employee in the formation of his goals. This may
involve instructions in initiative and drive.
• To train the employee toward better job adjustment and high morale.
MAIN OBJECTIVE
• To Know about the existing system of Training and Development in Dinodia
fashion of Readymade Garments
• To know the satisfaction of the employees, with the Training and Development
system followed in Dinodia fashion of Readymade Garments
SUB-OBJECTIVE
• The present Training and Development is sufficient enough to analyze the ability
of a company.
• To see the difference between the theoretical knowledge & practical knowledge.
., which is one of the largest Readymade Garments in India. The duration of my study
was 36 days (6 weeks). My timing of work was from 9:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., 6 days in a
week.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data is that data, which is collected for the first time & thus happens to be
original in character. The primary source to carry out study is:-
• Questionnaire
• Schedule
• Observation
• Interview
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and have
already been passed through the statistical process.
All the data has been collected from internal source, that includes :-
• Magazines
• Books
• Websites
• Reports
• Files
• While going through the research I had faced a bit problem like frequent visits
were required.
• Due to the tight schedule of managers, there are some difficulties for trainee to get
co-operation and attention.
• Large no. of employees in the company, more than 2000, not possible to cover
entire lot.
The modern approach of training and development is that Indian Organizations have
realized the importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of
retention tool than a cost. The training system in Indian Industry has been changed to
create a smarter workforce and yield the best results.
The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the
availability of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that,
there are four other objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.
Individual Objectives – help employees in achieving their personal goals, which in turn,
enhances the individual contribution to an organization.
Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may
leave or move up in the organization.
Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of a
sufficiently knowledgeable staff.
Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the
company's competitive position and improves employee morale.
Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.
Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from training and
developing its workers, including:
Increased productivity.
TRAINING
This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an individual
currently holds.
EDUCATION
This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold in the future,
and is evaluated against those jobs.
DEVELOPMENT
This activity focuses upon the activities that the organization employing the individual, or
that the individual is part of, may partake in the future, and is almost impossible to
evaluate.
TRAINING PROCESS:
Here is a relatively simple overview of typical reference models, processes and tools
found in the effective planning and delivery of organizational training.
Why people

development
needs.
The Training Process
The model below traces the steps necessary in the training process:
Organizational Objectives
Needs Assessment
Is There a Gap?
Training Objectives
Administer Training
Your business should have a clearly defined strategy and set of objectives that direct and
drive all the decisions made especially for training decisions. Firms that plan their
training process are more successful than those that do not. Most business owners want to
succeed, but do not engage in training designs that promise to improve their chances of
success. Why? The five reasons most often identified are:
Time - Small businesses managers find that time demands do not allow them to train
employees.
Getting started - Most small business managers have not practiced training
employees. The training process is unfamiliar.
Broad expertise - Managers tend to have broad expertise rather than the specialized
skills needed for training and development activities.
Skepticism as to the value of the training - Some small business owners believe
the future cannot be predicted or controlled and their efforts, therefore, are best centered
on current activities i.e., making money today.
A well-conceived training program can help your firm succeed. A program structured
with the company's strategy and objectives in mind has a high probability of improving
productivity and other goals that are set in the training mission.
For any business, formulating a training strategy requires addressing a series of questions.
Who are your competitors? How do they serve the market? What competitive advantages
do they enjoy? What parts of the market have they ignored?
What social trends are emerging that will affect the firm?
The purpose of formulating a training strategy is to answer two relatively simple but
vitally important questions: (1) What is our business? and (2) What should our business
be? Armed with the answers to these questions and a clear vision of its mission, strategy
and objectives, a company can identify its training needs.
Begin by assessing the current status of the company how it does what it does best and
the abilities of your employees to do these tasks. This analysis will provide some
benchmarks against which the effectiveness of a training program can be evaluated. Your
firm should know where it wants to be in five years from its long-range strategic plan.
What you need is a training program to take your firm from here to there.
Also, in today's market-driven economy, you would be remiss not to ask your customers
what they like about your business and what areas they think should be improved. In
summary, the analysis should focus on the total organization and should tell you (1)
where training is needed and (2) where it will work within the organization.
Once you have determined where training is needed, concentrate on the content of the
program. Analyze the characteristics of the job based on its description, the written
narrative of what the employee actually does. Training based on job descriptions should
go into detail about how the job is performed on a task-by-task basis. Actually doing the
job will enable you to get a better feel for what is done.
Selection of Trainees
Once you have decided what training is necessary and where it is needed, the next
decision is who should be trained? For a small business, this question is crucial. Training
an employee is expensive, especially when he or she leaves your firm for a better job.
Therefore, it is important to carefully select who will be trained.
Training programs should be designed to consider the ability of the employee to learn the
material and to use it effectively, and to make the most efficient use of resources
possible. It is also important that employees be motivated by the training experience.
Employee failure in the program is not only damaging to the employee but a waste of
money as well. Selecting the right trainees is important to the success of the program.
Training Goals
The goals of the training program should relate directly to the needs determined by the
assessment process outlined above. Course objectives should clearly state what behavior
or skill will be changed as a result of the training and should relate to the mission and
strategic plan of the company. Goals should include milestones to help take the employee
from where he or she is today to where the firm wants him or her in the future. Setting
goals helps to evaluate the training program and also to motivate employees. Allowing
employees to participate in setting goals increases the probability of success.
Training Methods
There are two broad types of training available to small businesses: on-the-job and off-
the-job techniques. Individual circumstances and the "who," "what" and "why" of your
training program
On-the-job training is delivered to employees while they perform their regular jobs.
In this way, they do not lose time while they are learning. After a plan is developed for
what should be taught, employees should be informed of the details. A timetable should
be established with periodic evaluations to inform employees about their progress. On-
the-job techniques include orientations, job instruction training, apprenticeships,
internships and assistantships, job rotation and coaching.
Orientations are for new employees. The first several days on the job are crucial in the
success of new employees. This point is illustrated by the fact that 60 percent of all
employees who quit do so in the first ten days. Orientation training should emphasize the
following topics:
The key members in the department, and how the department helps fulfill the mission of
the company.
Some companies use verbal presentations while others have written presentations. Many
small businesses convey these topics in one-on-one orientations. No matter what method
is used, it is important that the newcomer understand his or her new place of
employment.
Lectures present training material verbally and are used when the goal is to present a
great deal of material to many people. It is more cost effective to lecture to a group than
to train people individually. Lecturing is one-way communication and as such may not be
the most effective way to train. Also, it is hard to ensure that the entire audience
understands a topic on the same level; by targeting the average attendee you may
undertrain some and lose others. Despite these drawbacks, lecturing is the most cost-
effective way of reaching large audiences.
Role playing and simulation are training techniques that attempt to bring realistic
decision making situations to the trainee. Likely problems and alternative solutions are
presented for discussion. The adage there is no better trainer than experience is
exemplified with this type of training. Experienced employees can describe real world
experiences, and can help in and learn from developing the solutions to these simulations.
This method is cost effective and is used in marketing and management training.
Audiovisual methods such as television, videotapes and films are the most effective
means of providing real world conditions and situations in a short time. One advantage is
that the presentation is the same no matter how many times it's played. This is not true
with lectures, which can change as the speaker is changed or can be influenced by outside
constraints. The major flaw with the audiovisual method is that it does not allow for
questions and interactions with the speaker, nor does it allow for changes in the
presentation for different audiences.
Job rotation involves moving an employee through a series of jobs so he or she can
get a good feel for the tasks that are associated with different jobs. It is usually used in
training for supervisory positions. The employee learns a little about everything. This is a
good strategy for small businesses because of the many jobs an employee may be asked
to do.
Apprenticeships develop employees who can do many different tasks. They usually
involve several related groups of skills that allow the apprentice to practice a particular
trade, and they take place over a long period of time in which the apprentice works for,
and with, the senior skilled worker. Apprenticeships are especially appropriate for jobs
requiring production skills.
Trainers
Who actually conducts the training depends on the type of training needed and who will
be receiving it. On-the-job training is conducted mostly by supervisors; off-the-job
training, by either in-house personnel or outside instructors.
In-house training is the daily responsibility of supervisors and employees. Supervisors are
ultimately responsible for the productivity and, therefore, the training of their
subordinates. These supervisors should be taught the techniques of good training. They
must be aware of the knowledge and skills necessary to make a productive employee.
Trainers should be taught to establish goals and objectives for their training and to
determine how these objectives can be used to influence the productivity of their
departments. They also must be aware of how adults learn and how best to communicate
with adults. Small businesses need to develop their supervisors' training capabilities by
sending them to courses on training methods. The investment will pay off in increased
productivity.
There are several ways to select training personnel for off-the-job training programs.
Many small businesses use in-house personnel to develop formal training programs to be
delivered to employees off line from their normal work activities, during company
meetings or individually at prearranged training sessions.
There are many outside training sources, including consultants, technical and vocational
schools, continuing education programs, chambers of commerce and economic
development groups. Selecting an outside source for training has advantages and
disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that these organizations are well versed in
training techniques, which is often not the case with in-house personnel.
The disadvantage of using outside training specialists is their limited knowledge of the
company's product or service and customer needs. These trainers have a more general
knowledge of customer satisfaction and needs. In many cases, the outside trainer can
develop this knowledge quickly by immersing himself or herself in the company prior to
training the employees. Another disadvantage of using outside trainers is the relatively
high cost compared to in-house training, although the higher cost may be offset by the
increased effectiveness of the training.
Whoever is selected to conduct the training, either outside or in-house trainers, it is
important that the company's goals and values be carefully explained.
Training Administration
Having planned the training program properly, you must now administer the training to
the selected employees. It is important to follow through to make sure the goals are being
met. Questions to consider before training begins include:
Location.
Facilities.
Accessibility.
Comfort.
Equipment.
Timing.
Careful attention to these operational details will contribute to the success of the training
program.
Following these steps will help an administrator develop an effective training program to
ensure that the firm keeps qualified employees who are productive, happy workers. This
will contribute positively to the bottom line.
Evaluation of Training
Training should be evaluated several times during the process. Determine these
milestones when you develop the training. Employees should be evaluated by comparing
their newly acquired skills with the skills defined by the goals of the training program.
Any discrepancies should be noted and adjustments made to the training program to
enable it to meet specified goals. Many training programs fall short of their expectations
simply because the administrator failed to evaluate its progress until it was too late.
Timely evaluation will prevent the training from straying from its goals.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
The system of training and development is a cycle of continuous
improvement.
Research shows that when schools and educators commit to continuous learning, student
outcomes - both academic and developmental - improve. In fact, today's most effective
educators view continuous, ongoing training and development as an integral part of their
job description, a routine part of every workday. The need to refocus teaching to meet the
requirements of Maine's Learning Results makes continuous learning more important
than ever. To bring about improved student performance, training and development must
be never-ending.
Step 4: Measures of Success Progress toward the objective will be measured by:
achievement of desired outcomes
4. Diversity: This includes explanation about people and their different perspectives
and views, and how this can be handled.
5. Ethics: There are divergent ethics in different firms. Some firms attach more
importance to certain issues like moral, work period, lateness etc than other issues.
Today's society has increasing expectations about corporate social responsibility. Also,
today's diverse workforce brings a wide variety of values and morals to the workplace.
This calls for the need for staff to be reminded of these always through training and
development.
8. Safety: Safety training is critical where working with heavy equipment, hazardous
chemicals, repetitive activities etc. Staff should be made to understand that despite the
fact that they have a safety department, the safety of each staff is in his /her own hands.
BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:
Increased job satisfaction and morale among employees.
Increase in productivity.
six critical trends in training that should be taken into serious account by HRM
professionals and organizations, to wit:
Items 1 and 2 are not new, IMO. Training and development programs are supposed to be
designed and implemented to correct and/or improve employee’s or organization’s
performance. And results there from should be measured against projected or set training
goals and objectives. The assessment at the end of the program will not suffice. (Some
organizations tend to use this to measure the effectiveness of the training. This is very
superficial, ineffective, and is based only on the impression of the training activity not its
results.) Metrics should have been defined even before the training plan is approved.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of resources to train people when there are no metrics in
place to evaluate learning and improvements results. Sarah is correct to observe that most
training programs are out of the shelf, catalogs, and have lost their effectiveness. They
are no longer performance related. In my book, these are what you call university or
academic approaches to human resource training and development.
Training and development programs, first and foremost , should address a discrepancy
between the current performance of the employee and to what is expected (based on his
detailed job description or KRA (Key Result Area) sheet. In cases of advancement, the
discrepancy is the difference between the current performance (that is, the employee is
meeting desired performance criteria and goals) compared against the desired level of
performance when new responsibilities are added or where promotion to the next job
level is expected. Again, here is why performance evaluation and metrics are very
important.
Items 3 to 6 are more accurate observations. With the introduction of internet, intranet,
and multi-media devices, training delivery and systems are indeed changing. The HRM
should be able to harness these new systems to achieve better results from training. Plus,
the emphasis on training employees who are expert on certain topics to train others is
indeed occurring. The trainers’ and HRM roles on this should focus on developing good
trainers out of this employees. In the first place, they are more credible trainers when it
comes to their areas of expertise. Training skills are thus required to make them effective
trainers.
It is good news that more and more trainers and HRM professionals are adopting the JIT*
(just in time) system in training. As I have mentioned earlier, if training should have been
initiated to address performance problems, then it follows that training are perfect JIT
intervention. Although, let me be clear here that not all performance problems or
discrepancies can be addressed through training. Sometimes, the underlying causes for
this are entirely insignificant to training such as improvement on the work process,
machine problems, psychological issues like the lack of motivation, etc. However, issues
that needs to be addressed should be acted upon immediately.
If I may add:
Training programs should focused more on behavioral modifications rather than skill
building, and should be geared towards adding value to the organization’s
competitiveness.
Skill building is easier than behavioral modification. It takes time to have employees who
are highly motivated and are attuned to the positive corporate culture that company is
trying to foster. I am seeing more organizations who are placing more importance on this
in their agenda and are reaping positive results. Even in hiring, attitude and values are
given more premium over skills and knowledge on the premise that the latter can easily
be acquired.
Meaning, trainees are now involve in the planning and development stages of the entire
human resource program. This way, their training needs are accurately addressed.
Moreover, it lessens the burden on the part of the training facilitator in terms of getting
interests on the training program. Lastly, employees involvement in the preparation of the
program shares the burden of making it meaningful and effective. The role of the HRM
now in this trend is more of a coach and a guide, rather than the provider of training
itself.
Training and development programs, however the methods and trends are, will
continue to remain the most effective means of producing and maintaining a highly
competitive workforce. The HRM must endeavor to put more efforts towards
effective implementations.
Little acceptance by learners of the need to take responsibility for their own development

Our Mission
In 2005, Josh Green was working at an electronics company when he was asked to find a
new supplier. Naively, Josh thought this would be easy. However, Josh soon found a
staggering number of companies that claimed to have the required capabilities — but no
source for reliable information on all of these companies. Josh discussed this state of
affairs with James Psota, a student at MIT, who suggested that technology could play a
decisive role in creating a go-to information resource for a global economy. About a year
later, in the fall of 2006, Panjiva was born, with a mission to make it easier to do business
across borders. Two and a half years later, in early 2009, Panjiva formally launched a
first-of-its kind intelligence platform for global trade professionals. Today, the platform
features information on over 1.5 million companies across 190 countries. Learn more
about the Panjiva intelligence platform.
Our Funding
In June of 2007, Panjiva received an equity investment from an angel contingent led by
Mark Gerson, founder of Gerson Lehrman Group. In March of 2008, Panjiva received an
equity investment from Battery Ventures.
Our Name
Many millions of years ago, all of the world’s continents were joined together as a single
super-continent. Scientists call this super-continent “Pangaea” (pronounced Pan-JEE-ah).
“Panjiva” is simply a twist on “Pangaea.” The Panjiva team likes to think that we’re
bringing the continents—or at least the people on them—closer together.

4.1 FINDINGS
Fashion is also a reflection of yourself and what kind of person you are. Even though you
may have an excellent career, people may be wary of your ability if you look unkempt.
It's only human nature for people to judge others by their appearance, and ones attire is a
vital component of that. Fashion is important because it allows people to project the
image that they want others to see. Although people may object and tell others "not to
judge a book by its cover," first impressions are everything. If you do not look the part
when you are going into a job interview, you risk your employers giving the job to
someone they feel would be more qualified. Your wardrobe may not only have an impact
on your professional life, but your personal life as well. If you are in the dating scene,
you want to look your best and a part of that is by dressing appropriately. If you are a
women who wear miniskirts and low-cut shirts, you may attract the wrong kind of men
because you are giving the impression of being easy.
Not only is fashion a powerful way of manipulating the public's opinion of you, it also
allows your convey your individuality. If you went to a private school where you were
forced to wear uniforms, you may realize how boring it is to dress just like everyone else.
There are an assortment of stores that sell different styles of clothing from preppy, punk,
goth, and skater. You can show the world what type of music you listen to by wearing the
shirt you got at a concert, your sense of humor by wearing a tee with a witty saying, or
your stance on political issues by wearing it on your attire. Fashion is not all about trends.
We should not be mindless zombies that believe what Vogue says we have to wear.
Fashion is about looking our best while still incorporating our own unique style and
individuality while choosing clothing that flatters our body.
Lastly, fashion is important to make people feel their best. When you wear clothes that fit
you properly and really mirror your taste, it can add a boost of confidence. When you feel
good in what you are wearing, you may find yourself in a better mood and in turn people
will begin to view you differently. Overall, it's amazing what some fabric and do for our
self-esteem!
Dressing in fashion will open many doors in your life: professionally and socially.
If you dress with baggy pants and a T-shirt you will find a job as a busboy in a cheap
restaurant, or a cleaning boy or girl in a small store, with wages that won't even help you
pay the rent.
We live in a world where the way you dress says so much about you and your aptitudes,
might not be true, might be you are damn smart, with an IQ of over 100, but if you dress
like a slob, you won't land a job that goes with your knowledge, and it goes the same way
around, if you dress fashionably, even if your IQ is not that high, you will land a job in a
higher position socially.
People treat you the way they see you, racism is not only about gender or race, is about
fashion and looks as well, you dress well, you'll be treated well, you dress sloppy...
chances are you won't get beyond the door of a good company or a good restaurant to
dine, even a date with that "hot" person, regardless if you have the money.
Fashion is important, it sends the message that you care for yourself, that you are
updated, but most of all that you are presentable. Your looks say whether you are
responsible or not, that's how important fashion is!
Fashion has its own importance in world.Fashion is not a new thing in the world.Fashion
is an old thing and it is found every where and at all the times.
Yes,from time to time fashion changed but it has shown its existence in all ages.
And it is not true to say that only young people do fashion,fashion is for every body and
every body do the fashion.Yes the fashion may be different for all age groups.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

Prepare notes and use the completed Training and Development form as a
discussion guide so that each important topic will be covered.
CONCLUSION

fashion house New Delhi I have come up with a conclusion that Dinodia’s
employees are aware of the system of Training and development being followed in
their organisation. Most of the employees hold the view that the system of Training
and development is effective to evaluate and truly reflects their roles and activity.
