PREFACE

The global economy of the day has endangered the survival of every organization and particular those who want to have a competitive edge over the others. The competitive edge may be a distant dream in the absence of Superior Quality Products which otherwise is the function of well-trained employees. Today resources are scarce and have to be used carefully and trainers of all kinds are required to justify their position and account for their activities. Training activities, which are ill, directed and inadequately focused, do not serve the purpose of the trainers. The trainees or the organization hence identification of training needs becomes the top priority of every progressive organization. Identification of training needs, if done properly, provides the basis on which all other training activities can be considered and will lead to multiskilling, fitting people to take extra responsibilities increasing all round competence and repairing people to take on higher level responsibility in future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced people to perform the ctivities that have to be done. If current or potential job occupants can meet this requirement, training is not important. When this not the case, it is necessary to raise the skill levels and increase the versatility and adaptability of employees. It is being increasing common for individual to change careers several times during their working lives. The probability of any young person learning a job today and having those skills go basically unchanged during the forty or so years if his career is extremely unlikely, may be even impossible. In a rapid changing society employee training is not only an activity that is desirable but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is to maintain a Viable and knowledgeable work force. The entire project talks about the training and development in theoretical as well as new concepts, which are in trend now. Here we have discussed what would be the input of training invested in terms like (ROI) i.e. return on investment. What are the ways we can identify the training need of any employee and how to know what likes integrating it with organizational culture. The best and latest available trends in training method, the benefits which we can derive out of it. How the evaluation should be done and how effective is the training all together. Some of the companies practicing training in unique manner a lesson for other to follow as to how to train and retain the best resource in the world to reap the best out of it

INTRODUCTION

Employee training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge so
that employee is better equipped to do his present job, or to prepare

him for a higher

position with increased responsibilities. However individual growth is not and ends in itself. Organizational growth need to be measured along with individual growth. Training refers to the teaching Or learning activities done for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire and apply the knowledge skills, abilities, and attitude needed by that organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job. In todays scenario change is the order of the day and the only way to deal with it is to learn and grow. Employees have become central to success or failure of an organization they are the cornucopia of ideas. So it high time the organization realize that train and retain is the mantra of new millennium.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study covers in depth, the various training practices, modules, formats being followed and is limited to the company HAL and its employees. The different training programmers incorporated/facilitated in HAL through its faculties, outside agencies or professional groups.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

It is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in structured format.

TRADITIONAL AND MODERN APPROACH OF TRAINING AND DEVLOPMENT Traditional Approach

Most of the organizations before never used to believe in training. They were holding the traditional view that managers are born and not made. There were also some views that training is a very costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive pinching. But now the scenario seems to be changing.
25

The modern approach

Training and development is that Indian Organizations have realized the importance 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.

TRAINING DEFINED

It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the performance of employees. Training is activity leading to skilled behavior:

Its not what you want in life, but it knows how to reach it. Its not where you want to go, but it knows how to get there. Its not how high you want to rise, but it knows 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
26

about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through professional development.

Importance of Training and Development

Individual Objectives : Help employees in achieving their personal goals, which in turn, enhances the individual contribution to an organization.

Organisation Objective : Assist the organization with its primary objective

by bringing individual effectiveness.
29

 Functional Objectives : maintain the departments contribution at a level suitable to the organizations needs.

Societal Objectives : Ensure that an organization is ethically and socially responsible to the needs and challenges of the society.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:

Training and development go hand in hand and are often used synonymously but there is a difference between them. Training is the process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is an application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It intends to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them for an intended job.

Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities, which improve job performance , but also those, which bring about growth of the personality. It helps individual in the progress towards maturity and actualization of potential capabilities so that they can become not only good employees but better human beings.

Learning Principles: The Philosophy of Training

Training is essential for job

success. It can lead to higher production, fewer mistakes, greater job satisfaction and lower turnover. These benefits accrue to both the trainee and the organization, if
30

managers understand the principles behind the training process. To this end, training efforts must invariably follow certain learning-oriented guidelines.

Modeling

Modeling is simply copying someone else's behavior. Passive classroom learning does not leave any room for modeling. If we want to change people, it would be a good idea to have videotapes of people showing the desired behavior. The selected model should provide the right kind of behavior to be copied by others. A great deal of human behavior is learned by modeling others. Children learn by modeling parents and older children, they are quite comfortable with the process by the time they grow up. As experts put it. "managers tend to manage as they were managed"

Motivation

For learning to take place, intention to learn is important. When the employee is motivated, he pays attention to what is being said, done and presented. Motivation to learn is influenced by the answers to questions such as: How important is my job to me? How important is the information? Will learning help me progress in the company? etc. People learn more quickly when the material is important and relevant to them. Learning is usually quicker and long-lasting when the learner participates actively. Most people, for example, never forget how to ride a bicycle because they took an active part in the learning process.

Reinforcement
31

If a behavior is rewarded, it probably will be repeated. Positive reinforcement consists of rewarding desired behaviors. People avoid certain behaviors that invite criticism and punishment. A bank officer would want to do a postgraduate course in finance, if it earns him increments and makes him eligible for further promotions. Both the external rewards (investments, praise) and the internal rewards (a feeling of pride and achievement) associated with desired behaviors compel subjects to learn properly. To be effective, the trainer must reward desired behaviors only. If he rewards poor performance, the results may be disastrous: good performers may quit in frustration, accidents may go up, and productivity may suffer. The reinforcement principle is also based on the premise that punishment is less effective in learning than reward. Punishment is a pointer to undesirable behaviors. When administered, it causes pain to the employee. He mayor may not repeat the mistakes. The reactions may be mild or wild. Action taken to repeal a person from undesirable action is punishment. If administered properly, punishment may force the trainee to modify the undesired or incorrect behaviors.

Feedback
People learn best if reinforcement is given as soon as possible after training. Every employee wants to know what is expected of him and how well he is doing. If he is off the track, somebody must put him back on the rails. The errors in such cases must be rectified immediately. The trainee after learning the right behavior is motivated to do things in a 'right' way and earn the associated rewards. Positive feedback (showing the trainee the right way of doing things) is to be
32

preferred to negative feedback (telling the trainee that he is not correct) when we want to change behavior.

Spaced Practice
Learning takes place easily if the practice sessions are spread over a period of time. New employees learn better if the orientation programmed is spread over a two or three day period, instead of covering it all in one day. For memorizing tasks, 'massed' practice is usually more effective. Imagine the way schools ask the kids to say the Lord's prayer aloud. Can you memories a long poem by learning only one line per day? You tend to forget the beginning of the poem by the time you reach the last stanza. For 'acquiring' skills as stated by Mathis and Jackson, spaced practice is usually the best. This incremental approach to skill acquisition minimizes the physical fatigue that deters learning.

Whole Learning
The concept of whole learning suggests that employees learn better if the job information is explained as an entire logical process, so that they can see how the various actions fit together into the 'big picture'. A broad overview of what the trainee would be doing on the job should be given top priority, if learning has to take place quickly. Research studies have also indicated that it is more efficient to practice a whole task all at once rather than trying to master the various components of the task at different intervals.

Active Practice
33

'Practice makes a man perfect': so said Bacon. To be a swimmer, you should plunge into water instead of simply reading about swimming or looking at films of the worlds' best swimmers. Learning is enhanced when trainees are provided ample opportunities to repeat the task. For maximum benefit, practice sessions should be distributed over time.

Areas of Training
The Areas of Training in which training is offered may be classified into the following categories.

Knowledge
Here the trainee learns about a set of rules and regulations about the job, the staff and the products or services offered by the company. The aim is to make the new employee fully aware of what goes on inside and outside the company.

Technical Skills
The employee is taught a specific skill (e.g., operating a machine, handling computer etc.) so that he can acquire that skill and contribute meaningfully.

Social Skills
The employee is made to learn about himself and others, and to develop a right mental attitude towards the job, colleagues and the company. The principal focus is on teaching the employee how to be a team member and get ahead.

34

Techniques
This involves the application of knowledge and skill to various on-the-job situations. In addition to improving the skills and knowledge of employees, training aims at moldings employee attitudes: When administered properly, a training programmed will go a long way in obtaining employee loyalty, support and commitment to company activities.

OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING

1. TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVIT: An instructor can help employees increase their

level of performance on their assignment .Increase in human performance leads to increase in the operational productivity and also the increase in the profit of the company.

2. TO IMPROVE QUALITY: Better-trained workers are less likely to make

operational mistakes. It can be in relationship to the company or in reference to the intangible organizational employment atmosphere.

3. TO HELP A COMPANY FULFILL ITS FUTURE PERSONNEL NEEDS: The

organizations having good internal training and development programmes will have to make less changes and adjustments. When the need arises, vacancies can be easily staffed.
35

4. TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE: An endless chain of positive

reactions result from a well planned training programmed.

5. TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY: Proper training can prevent industrial

accidents. A safer atmosphere leads to more stable attitudes on part of the employees.

6. PERSONAL GROWTH: Employees on a personal basis gain individually from

their exposure to education expressions. Training programmes give them wider awareness and skills

NEED FOR TRAINING

1. To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for definite tasks. 2. To assist employees to function more effectively in their present positions by exposing them to new concepts. 3. To build a line of competent people and prepare them to occupy more responsible positions. 4. To reduce the supervision time, wastage and spoilage of new material. 5. To reduce the defects and minimize the industrial accidents. 6 . To ensure the economical output of the required quality. 7. To prevent obsolescence.
36

8. To promote individual and collective morale, responsibility and cooperative attitudes etc.

Evaluation of a Training Programme

The specification of values forms a basis for evaluation. The basis of evaluation and the mode of collection of information necessary for evaluation should be determined at the planning stage. The process of training evaluation has been defined as any attempt to obtain information on the effects of training performance and to assess the value of training in the light of that information. Evaluation helps in controlling and correcting the training programmed. Hamblin suggested five levels at which evaluation of training can take place, viz., reactions, learning, job behavior, organization and ultimate value.

Reactions: Trainee's reactions to the overall usefulness of the training including the
coverage of the topics, the method of presentation, the techniques used to clarify things, often throw light on the effectiveness of the programmed. Potential questions to trainees might include:

(1) What were your learning goals for the programmed?

(ii) Did you achieve them?

(iii) Did you like this programmed?

(iv) Would you recommend it to others who have similar learning goals?

37

(v) What suggestions do you have for improving the programmed? (

vi) Should the organization continue to offer it?

1. Learning: Training programmed, trainer's ability and trainee's ability are evaluated
on the basis of quantity of content learned and time in which it is learned and learner's ability to use or apply the content learned.

2. Job behavior: This evaluation includes the manner and extent to which the trainee
has applied his learning to his job.

3. Organisation: This evaluation measures the use of training, learning and change
in the job behavior of the department/organization in the form of increased productivity, quality, morale, sales turnover and the like.

Methods of Evaluation

Various methods can be used to collect data on the outcomes of training. Some of these are:

Questionnaires: Comprehensive questionnaires could be used to obtain

opinions, reactions, views of trainees.

Tests: Standard tests could be used to find out whether trainees have learnt
anything during and after the training.

38

Interviews: Interviews could be conducted to find the usefulness of training

offered to operatives.

Studies: Comprehensive studies could be carried out eliciting the opinions and
judgments of trainers, superiors and peer groups about the training.

Human resource factors: Training can also be evaluated on the basis of

employee satisfaction, which in turn can be examined on the basis of decrease in employee turnover, absenteeism, accidents, grievances, discharges, dismissals, etc.

Cost benefit analysis: The costs of training (cost of hiring trainers, tools to
learn, training centre, wastage, production stoppage, opportunity cost of trainers and trainees) could be compared with its value (in terms of reduced learning time, improved learning, superior performance) in order to evaluate a training programmed.

Feedback: After the evaluation, the situation should be examined to identify the
probable causes for gaps in performance. The training evaluation information (about costs, time spent, outcomes, etc.) should be provided to the instructors, trainees and other parties concerned for control, correction and improvement of Trainees' activities. The training evaluator should follow it up sincerely so as to ensure effective implementation of the feedback report at every stage.

39

PURPOSE OF PROJECT

To know the effectiveness of the training programmed conducted by the company.

To know whether employees are aware about their responsibilities and authorities or not.

To improve Organizational Climate and increase the morale of employees. To know whether training programmed is conducted successfully or not. To know about the work culture of the organization.

Job satisfaction
Job satisfaction is in regard to one's feeling or state of mind regarding the nature of their work. It can be influenced by a variety of factors e.g.: quality of one's relationships with there supervisor, quality of physical environment in which they work, degree of fulfillment in there works etc. Locke gives a comprehensive definition of job satisfaction as involving cognitive, effective and evaluative reactions or attitudes and states it is "a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experience." Job satisfaction is a result of employees' perception of how well their job provides those things that are viewed as important. There are three generally accepted dimensions to job satisfaction.

First, job satisfaction is an emotional response to a job situation, as such it cannot be seen; it can only be inferred.
40

Second, job satisfaction is often determined by how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations. For example if organizational participants feel that they are working more harder than others in the department but are receiving fewer rewards, they will probably have a negative attitude toward the work, the boss or the coworkers. They will be dissatisfied. On the other hand, if they feel they are being treated very well and are being paid equitably, they are likely to have a positive attitude toward the job. They will be job - satisfied.

Third, job satisfaction represents several related attitudes.

Factors determining job satisfaction

Ting people to arrive at job Factors affecting jobs are the main factors of job satisfaction, which may be challenging work, reward systems, working conditions, colleagues, learning and personality. Skill variety autonomy and significance are challenging tasks, which provide maximum satisfaction to employees. Many people feel bored if a job is too simple and routine, but many employees also enjoy simple and routine jobs. The job characteristics are important factors for providing satisfaction. Reward systems, equitable rewards, equal pay for equal work, promotion avenues, etc satisfaction factors. Money is important to employees having unfulfilled basic needs, i.e. they require more award and recognition.

41

Fairness in promotion, unbiased attitude of management, responsibilities and social statuses are the factors that are said to be providing satisfaction to employees.

Working conditions influence employee's level of satisfaction. Under conducive working condition, people prefer to work hard while in an adverse atmosphere people avoid work. Working condition not only include physicals of the work but also the working relationships in the organization. The physical conditions, for example, are the light, temperature, willingness, etc. A clerk working under routine conditions like to work hard in an air - conditioned atmosphere with computer facilities. It increases the working capacity of the employee.

The relationships between the employees and the managers have an important bearing on job satisfaction.

Job satisfaction is greater in case the higher authority is sympathetic, friendly and willing to help the employees. Employees feel satisfied when their views are listened to and regarded by their higher authorities

Personal attitude and perceptions are the employees' angles of satisfaction, which should be taken into consideration while motive satisfaction.

Feedback from the job itself and autonomy are two of the major job-related motivational factors. A recent found that career development was most important to both younger and older employees.

42

Supervision is another moderately important of job satisfaction. There seem to be two dimensions of supervisory style that affect job satisfaction. One is employee centeredness, which is measured by the degree to which a supervisor takes a personal interest and cares about the employee. It commonly is manifested in ways such as checking to see how well the employee is doing, providing advice and assistance to the individual, and communicating with the associate on a personal as well as an official level . The other dimension is participation or influence, as illustrated by managers who allow their people to participate in decisions that affect their own jobs. In most case, this approach leads higher job satisfaction.

Friendly, cooperative coworkers or team members are a modest source of job satisfaction to individual employees. The group, especially a "tight" team, serves as a source of support, comfort, advice, and assistance To the individual member.

Outcomes of job satisfaction

To society as a whole as well as from an individual employee's standpoint, job satisfaction in and of itself is a desirable outcome. It is important to know, if at all, satisfaction relates to outcomes variable. For example, if job satisfaction is high, will the employee perform better and the organization be more effective? I f job satisfaction is low, will there be performance problems and ineffectiveness? The following sections examine the most important of these.

43

Satisfaction and performance:

Most assume a positive relationship; the research to date indicates that there is no strong linkage between satisfaction and performance. Conceptual, methodological, and empirical analyses have questioned and argued against these results. The best conclusion about satisfaction and performance is that there is, example, there seem to be many possible-moderating variables, the most important of which is reward. If people receive reward they feel are equitable, they will be satisfied, and is likely to result in greater performance effort.

Satisfaction and turnover:

Unlike that between satisfaction and performance, research has uncovered a moderately negatively relationship between satisfaction and turnover. High job satisfaction will not, in and of itself, keep turnover low, but it does seem to help. On the other hand, if there is considerable job dissatisfaction, there is likely to be high turnover. Obviously, other variables enter into an Employees decision to quit besides job satisfaction. For example, age tenure in the organization, and commitments to the organization may playa role. Some people cannot see them selves working anywhere else, so they remain regardless of how dissatisfied they feel. Another factor is the general economy, typically there will be an increase in turnover because will being looking for better opportunities with other organization.

Satisfaction and absenteeism:

44

Research has only demonstrated a weak negative relationship between satisfaction and absenteeism. As with turnover, many variables enter into the decision to stay home besides satisfaction with the job. For example, there are moderating variables such as the degree to which people that there job are important. For example, research among state govt. Employees has found those who believed that there was important had lower absenteeism than did who did not feel this way. Additionally, it is important to remember that although job satisfaction will not necessarily result in absenteeism, low job satisfaction more likely to bring about absenteeism.

Significance of Study

Every organization desires that it will grow continuously and make and retain its position in the competitive and continuously changing market environment. For this purpose the employees of the organization must be skilled and talented. But all the employees may not have the desired skills. Their skills can be improved with the help of training programs. It is an important activity for the origination to conduct appropriate and related programmed for its employees, so that may be able to understand the terms required for the completion of his job. This also helps the employees of the organization to know about his job and organization very well. This also helps in better communication and relation among the organization wants to grow rapidly, then it is essential for it to conduct periodically training programmes for its employees to improve the skills and knowledge. So the top management must concentrate on the training
45

programs and organize them in such a way that maximum number of employees want to attend these programs. These must be related to employees and their jobs.

TRIAINING PROGRAMMES IN HAL

46

HAL follows the philosophy to establish and build a strong performance driven culture with greater accountability and responsibility at all levels. To that extent the Company views capability as a combination of the right people in the right jobs, supported by the right processes, systems, structure and metrics. The Company organizes various raining and development programmes, both in house and at other places in order to

enhance the skills and efficiency of its employees. These training and development programmes are conducted at various levels for officers.

TRAINING IN HAL

HAL provides training to all its employees as per the policy of the organization. PURPOSE OF TRAINING: To ensure availability of trained manpower. SCOPE: All categories of employees

47

IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS
MANAGEMENT STAFF

The Performance Appraisal form of the organization has a section in which the raining and development needs are filled up. The Individual Officer first identifies the training needs of himself and then it is recommended by the reporting Officer and then by the Departmental Head .The Training needs as identified in the PAR are recorded by the HRD Department and necessary action is taken for imparting the identified training. Training needs are identified based on: - Companys strategy and policy - Organizational Thrust Areas.

PREPARATION OF TRAINING PLAN :

The training of Executives in HAL is given by :

HAL Management Academy a unique body for imparting training to the Executives

Of HAL & Outside agencies. .

IMPARTING OF TRAINING
48

Actual training is imparted with the help of in-house and outside agencies. The selection of these agencies is done on the basis of reputation; programmes

offered by them, past experience and feedback received from the earlier participants. Training is also imparted by nominating the concerned employee for an external training programmed. All records of the training are maintained at branch as per Record of Training in the Personnel folder and the same is intimated to the Executive Office Personnel through the Monthly Personnel Report.

FEEDBACK

A feedback is taken from the participants through a questionnaire on the programmed and their impressions in order to further improve upon the same. There are three such questionnaires available and one of these is used depending upon the nature of the training programmed and the level of participants. Also, a person from the personnel department sits through the final session of the programmed and takes the verbal feedback about the programmed.

INDUCTION TRAINING

This is carried out as the very first step for any new entrant into Company. The department prepares a schedule for the employee as per which he is required to spend specific time in each department. During such period, he is reporting to the
49

respective department head. The objective of the induction programmed is to familiarize the participant to the function of different department. The copies of the same are sent to the General Manager and all concerned. At the end of the suction, the trainee has to submit a report to the Personnel Department.

MANAGEMENT TRAINEES TRAINING

Management trainees are given a fortnight of induction programmed. Corporate HR advises it as per Management Trainee Training programmed designed by them. Thereafter, a detailed training programmed is carried out whereby the incumbent is to understand in depth of working of each department at various locations as per the programmed given by the Corporate HR. Corporate HR maintains all relevant records pertaining to Management Trainees training at Bangalore. A person gets nominated for the training programmed in the training programmed in two ways: a) Training programmed flowing from the training needs. b) Training programmed for testing out the training/ increased awareness/ general Information/omnibus training types etc.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES FLOWING FROM TRAINING NEEDS:

The programmes are divided into three broad categories: - Functional

50

- Behavioral - General/ Omnibus programmes

1) Functional: The outcome of the training is measured by comparing the data retraining and post-training. A scale is developed for measuring the effectiveness of training based on the %achievement of the objectives.2.

2) Behavioral: The effectiveness of the training of this nature is measured annually.

This is seen through the training need identification for the coming year for the employee. If the training needs repeated there, then the training provided is taken as ineffective. If the training need is repeated but with focus on a part of the need, then the training is partially effective. If not repeated, then the training is effective.

3) General: These are the training needs flowing directly from the organizational
needs. Examples of these can be ISO 9000 training, ISO 14000 training and any awareness training .These are omnibus training programmes, which are run for a large number of employees .The effectiveness of the training is measured by: - Achievement of those organizational objectives within the time lines. - Number of audit issues raised on the areas covered in the training. - Any other such thing as defined in the training brochure.

51

The effectiveness of the outside training programmed is measured on the same line as above .However, no detailed brochure is prepared for the same. The measurement criterion for the programmed is defined in the beginning of the programmed and effectiveness measured against the same. A consolidated effectiveness report of the training programmed is prepared at the end of the year. The programmes that are found to be ineffective are reworked.

Training programmed for testing out the training

Also there are training programmes, which are not flowing directly from the training needs measurement of effectiveness of the training is not needed to be measured.

54

Every project work is based on certain methodology, which is a way to systematically solve the problem or attain its objectives. It is a very important guideline and lead to completion of any project work through observation , data collection and data analysis .According to Clifford Woody, Research Methodology comprises of defining & redefining problems, collecting, organizing &evaluating data, making deductions & researching to conclusions. Accordingly, the methodology used in the project is as follows: -

findings and suggestions.

SELECTION OF SAMPLE SIZE

55

In order to take a reasonable sample size and not to disturb the functioning of the organization, a sample size of reasonable strength of the Company has been taken in order to arrive at the present practices of training in the Company. Accordingly, 50 officers have been selected at random from all the departments of the organization and feedback forms (questionnaire) have been obtained. The data has been analyzed in order to arrive at present training practices in the organization.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED

The technique of Random Sampling has been used in the analysis of the data/Random sampling from a finite population refers to that method of sample selection, which gives each possible sample combination an equal probability of being picked up and each item in the entire population to have an equal chance of being included in the sample. This sampling is without replacement, i.e. once an item is selected for the sample, it cannot appear in the sample again

DATA COLLECTION
To determine the appropriate data for research mainly two kinds of data was Collected namely primary & secondary data as explained below:

PRIMARY DATA
Primary data are those, which were collected afresh & for the first time and thus happen to be original in character. However, there are many methods of collecting the primary data; all have not been used for the purpose of this project. The ones
