INTRODUCTION
The inputs are to be identified and the outputs specified. In the light of the
relationship between the inputs and outputs the different processes can be worked
out. Suitable feedback must be obtained at the various stages, to ensure appropriate
corrective steps at the necessary stages.
A training course is the training effort of organization. It may be said that the
trainees from the basic input, together with the other resource such as the physical
facilities, reading material, resource persons, etc. The design and conduct of the
course constitute the processes and the trained employee the output. The evaluation
of the training course, generally done at the end of the course, is the feedback of
the basis of which improvements are made in the subsequent courses organized by
the institution. But this is a simplistic and crude way of viewing the training effort
though it illustrates the systems concept of an institutional training effort with the
untrained employee, the training course, the trained employee and the evaluation of
the training course representing the input, the process, the output and feedback
control.

INTRODUCTION OF TRAINING
TRAINING-DEFINED
Its not what you want in life, but its knowing how to reach it
Its not where you want to go, but its knowing how to get there
Its not how high you want to rise, but its knowing how to take off
It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an
outcome
Its not what you dream of doing, but its having the knowledge to do it
It's not a set of goals, but its more like a vision
Its not the goal you set, but its what you need to achieve it
Training is about knowing where you stand (no matter how good or bad the current
situation looks) at present, and where you will be after some point of time.
Training is about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through
professional development.
ROLE OF TRAINING
Training objectives are one of the most important parts of training program. While
some people think of training objective as a waste of valuable time. The
counterargument here is that resources are always limited and the training
objectives actually lead the design of training. It provides the clear guidelines and
develops the training program in less time because objectives focus specifically on
needs. It helps in adhering to a plan.
Training objective tell the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end of the
training program. Training objectives are of great significance from a number of
stakeholder perspectives,
1. Trainer
2. Trainee
3. Designer
4. Evaluator
Trainer The training objective is also beneficial to trainer because it helps the
trainer to measure the progress of trainees and make the required adjustments.
Also, trainer comes in a position to establish a relationship between objectives and
particular segments of training.
Evaluator It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of
the trainees because the objectives define the expected performance of trainees.
Training objective is an important to tool to judge the performance of participants.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2) The plight of the coal miners was brought to light by the reports of several
surveys, committees and commissions. The first report on coal miners was made
by Luby1 in 1917 who investigated into the housing conditions of colliery labour
in Bihar and Orissa. In his report, Luby stated that the housing conditions of
colliery labour in Bihar and Orissa were so poor and needs immediate
improvement. Later, the report submitted by the Royal Commission on Labour2
represented the first systematic and comprehensive attempt in this field. But in
view of its wide coverage, it could not deal with the problems of coal miners
properly. Hughes3 investigated into the level of wages and the changes in the cost
of living of labors in the Jharia coal field in the wake of second world war. ILO4 in
its publication, Approaches to Social Security stated that social security relates
to those services which provide the citizen with benefits designed to prevent or
cure disease to support him, when unable to earn and to restore him 36 to gainful
activity.
4) Mahindra Committee6 dealt with the problems of coal industry rather than those
of the problems of coal miners. But the report of the Coal Mines Labour Enquiry
Committee7 concentrated its efforts only on the collieries of the Hyderabad state.
Anyhow, the Labour Bureau8 conducted a sample survey during 1962-63 to study
the living conditions of labour employed in the coal industry. The findings were
published in two separate reports out of which one dealt with the public sector coal
mines and the other covered all the Indian coal mines. Fortunately, the National
Commission on Labour9 appointed separate study groups for knowing the
problems of coal workers in different coal mines. The study groups on coal made
certain important suggestions to improve the conditions in collieries. The
Committee on Labour Welfare10 made various recommendations to the
Government about the need for the provision of a minimum standard of welfare to
coal miners.
4) Joshi (1927) in his book, Trade Union Movement in India felt that welfare
work covers all the efforts which employers make for the benefits of their
employees over and above the minimum standard of working conditions fixed by
37 the Factories Act and over and above the provisions of the social legislations
providing against accident, old age, unemployment, sickness etc.
5) Seth (1940) in his book Labour in Indian Coal Industry discussed the agonies
of Indian Coal miners under colonial rule.
6) Radha Kamal Mukerjee (1945) in the book, The Indian Working Class dealt
with the problems of low earnings and the sad state of housing then prevalent in
the Indian Collieries.
8) Hasan (1972) in his book, The Social Security System of India felt that social
security schemes have characteristics such as provision of cash and medical relief
and also the active involvement of the State in the provision of social security. He
further stated that social security benefits are provided to employees as of right.
10) Tyagi (1982) in his book, Labour Economics and Social Welfare discussed
the labour welfare practices in India such as the provision of intramural and extra-
mural welfare facilities. He also discussed the various agencies involved in labour
welfare. However, the study is totally theoretical in nature.
11) Pramod Varma (1987) in his book, Labour Economics and Industrial
Relations stated that organisations provide three types of welfare facilities.
According to him, the first type of welfare facilities is related to the provision of
subsidised canteens, crches and medical facilities while the second type of
welfare facilities is related to consumer cooperative stores, cooperative credit
societies and educational assistance. The third type of welfare facilities is provided
by community centres, welfare centres etc.
12) Ahuja (1988) in his book, Personnel Management emphasised the need for
labour welfare and social security in India. He felt that provision of welfare and
social security measures makes the employees satisfied with their jobs leading to
their improved performance.
14) Tripathi (1998) in his book, Personnel Management & Industrial Relations
explained the principles of labour welfare services, types of labour welfare
services, different legislations and Acts. He also discussed the social security
measures in terms of medical care, sickness benefit, unemployment benefit,
maternity benefit etc., besides explaining the social security system in India.
15) David, A Decenzo (2001) and Stephen P. Robbins in their book, Personnel /
Human Resource Management explained the various benefits and services
provided by the companies to their employees. According to them, the legally
required benefits and services include social security premiums, unemployment
compensation, workers compensation and state disability programs. They felt that
the cost of the voluntary benefits offered appears to be increasing.
16) Michael (2001) in his book, Human Resource Management and Human
Relations said that the provision of intra-mural and extra-mural welfare facilities
help in improving the quality of work life of employees thereby good human
relations will develop among different cadres of employees.
17) Kannan (2001) stated that the ever increasing demand for welfare funds for
each and every sub-sector of the informal sector may be viewed as a desperate
reaction of the workers for a measure of social security in an unprotected labour
market.
18) Pylee and Simon Georg in their book, Industrial Relations and Personnel
Management stated that companies should provide retirement benefits such as
provident fund, gratuity and pension to employees. They felt that the provision of
these benefits assists employees to be free from fear of want and fear of starvation
besides instilling in them a feeling of security.
19) Punekar, Deodhar and Sankaran (2004) in their book, Labour Welfare, Trade
Unionism and Industrial Relations stated that labour welfare is anything done for
the comfort and improvement, intellectual and social-well being of the employees
over and above the wages paid which is not a necessity of the industry.
20) Shashi, K. Gupta and Rosy Joshi (2005) in their book, Human Resource
Management discussed labour welfare in detail. The book covers all the aspects
of labour welfare such as types of labour welfare, statutory provisions concerning
welfare, approaches to welfare and also the significance of labour welfare.
22) Singh (2005) in his book, Industrial Relations: Emerging Paradigms stated
that social security is an attack on five giants such as wants, disease, ignorance,
squalor and idleness. According to him, social security is not a burden but a kind of
wise investment that offers good social dividends in the long run.
24) Micheal Armstrong (2006) in his book, A Hand Book of Human Resource
Management discussed the various welfare services provided to employees in
detail. He stated that the provision of welfare services in terms of individual
services, group services and employment assistance programs help in improving
the identification of employees with the companies in which they are employed.
25) Aquinas (2007) in the book, Human Resource Management explained the
intra-mural and extra-mural welfare benefits provided to employees. He stated that
some welfare benefits are provided as per legislation while some 42 other welfare
benefits are provided voluntarily by management or as a result of bi-partite
settlements between the Management and Trade Unions.
26) Scott Snell and George Bohlander (2007) in their book, Human Resource
Management throw light on the various benefits especially social security benefits
such as provident fund, gratuity, pension and insurance cover provided to
employees.
27) Gary Dessler and Biju Varkkey (2009) in their book, Human Resource
Management discussed the benefits and services provided to employees in India.
They also discussed the benefits to be provided as per Central or State Law besides
the discretionary benefits provided by employers.

various types of benefits and services provided to employees in terms of payment
for time not worked, insurance benefits, compensation benefits, pension plans etc.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
MEANING OF RESEARCH:-
The Research Methodology followed for further work can be primarily classified
into two stages namely Exploratory and Descriptive.
EXPLORATORY STUDY:
Since we always lack a clear idea of the problems one will meet during the study,
carrying out an exploratory study is particularly useful. It helped develop my
concepts more clearly, establish priorities and in improve the final research design.
DESCRIPTIVE STUDY:
After carrying out initial Exploratory studies to bring clarity on the subject under
study, Descriptive study will be carried out to know the actual Training and
Development method being followed at PUREWAY AUTOMOBILE
INDUSTRY AT COIMBATORE .
