Being a student M.B.A (HR) it was great pleasure for me there I was assigned the most relevant title, as regarded summer training i.e. “Training and Development process at CFCL” Before Understanding the work of Training and Development and, firstly I have to understand that what is the HR department, the Role of the HR department and why it is so important for any organization. So At first the work is given to me is a little introduction of each part of the HR department like Recruitment, Performance appraisal Training & Development and various Acts in factory. Before understanding training and development process at CFCL, I should know about PMS (Performance management system), it is a system to evaluate the performance of the employee. So to analysis the PMS I have to understand each and every part of PMS like KRA’s different managerial and technical attributes, performance scale and how to maintain each performance of different employees for different year. Further I make a soft copy training and development program that is held in 2010 to April 2011 9 External and Internal both, by this I learn how maintain record of different training program, how training and development program are organized and which program is the beneficial external or Internal. After it the segregation of different training program is given. This exercise gives me an insight in the general functioning & practical problem handled by difference department. 10 INTRODUCTION 11 INTRODUCTION India is the third producer and consumer of fertilizer placed USA and China. India being Agro based economy is fifth largest in the world due to its fertilizer Industries. These Fertilizer Industries play a vital role bringing prosperity to the country. The Indian fertilizer industry with a capacity of 121 lakh MT of nitrogen and 56 lakh MT of phosphate nutrient is one of the largest in the world and has over the years, played a significant role in the development of agriculture in the country. Fertilizer consumption in India is among the highest in the world, though we rank low in comparison to most of developing and some of developed countries in terms of intensity of consumption. Fertilizer consumption in India has been stagnant in the last few years. But, with increased focus of the government towards agricultural growth, consumption levels are expected to pick up. Successful implementation of government program’s like the BHARAT NIRMAN program etc. which aims at an additional 10 million hectares under irrigation could help increase fertilizer consumption in the long run. This is small introduction about fertilizer Industry. The project is given to me is “Training and Development Process in CFCL”. Training and Development is the part of Human resource which is the strongest part of any organization. As new technology and new program comes in Industry day by day so it is very important to introduce this knowledge to the employees, so the organization can meet their requirement. Training is needed when there is the difference between performance of the employee and the requirement of the organization. 12 Training is the basically a planned process that modifies the attitude, knowledge or skill through learning experience to achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities. Before giving the training program very important part to identify the training needs.PMS (Performance management system) is the one of the important method for indentifying the training needs, it is basically a system that how performance is evaluate. After the performance evaluation training and Development program is organized according to needs of the employees. There are two type of the training program one is external program and the another one is In house training program This the small introduction about my project the brief study about training and development is in my further report……... 13 OBJECTIVES 14 OBJECTIVES The main objectives for doing this project are as follows: 1) To acquire practical and theoretical knowledge about how the different department doing work together, why the HR department is important and how an organization is going on. 2) To acquire practical and theoretical knowledge about Training and development and Performance management system in an organization. 3) To get knowledge why the training and development is so important for an organization, how Annual training Calendar are designed and training program are organized. 4) To know that what is role of performance management system (PMS) in Training need analysis. 5) A brief knowledge about training and development department. 6) To know advantage or disadvantage of external and Internal Program. 7) Last but not the least the overall view of HR department. In last I want to include that it is really very great experience in CFCL for me that I done my work well under my guide and he gave me a lot of knowledge about Training and development, Performance Appraisal and Recruitment also. 15 AN OVERVIEW OF FERTILIZER INDUSTRIES AN OVERVIEW OF FERTILIZER INDUSTRY 16 Agriculture the backbone of Indian Economy still holds its relative importance for more than a billion peoples. The Government of India from time to time has taken considerable steps for the upliftment of Agriculture Sector. India is third largest producer and consumer of fertilizer, placed after USA and China. India being an agro-based economy is the fifth largest due to its fertilizer Industries. These industries plat vital role in bringing prosperity to the country. Agriculture Industry is the only one, in India, that has acknowledged conformity to global standards of performance. Indian fertilizer Industries has approximately 150 industries in its list. The first fertilizer plant was commissioned in 1976 by EID-Parry. Industry got its impetuous and boon after 1967 with the advent of Green revolution. The Indian fertilizer industry with a capacity of 121 LAKH MT of nitrogen and 56 LAKH MT of phosphate nutrient is one of the largest in the world and has over the years, played a significant role in the development of agriculture in the country. Fertilizer consumption in India is among the highest in the world, though we rank low in comparison to most of developing and some of developed countries in terms of intensity of consumption. Fertilizer consumption in India has been stagnant in the last few years. But, with increased focus of the government towards agricultural growth, consumption levels are expected to pick up. Successful implementation of government program’s like the BHARAT-NIRMAN program etc. which aims at an additional 10 million hectares under irrigation could help increase fertilizer consumption. 17 The main issues confronting the fertilizer industry at present are with regard to feedstock and the uncertain policy environment. The industry is dependent to a large extent on gas for Urea production and Phosphoric acid for production of DAP and other phosphate fertilizers. With limited reserves of gas in the country and the power sector also vying for an increased share, the fertilizer industry is faced with acute shortages. Fertilizer units and gas companies have not been able to reach an agreement over the pricing of gas and very few long term gas supply agreements have been signed. With the government policy favoring conversion to gas based units, the demand for gas is only expected to go up. We had in our initial report on the sector, mentioned three strategies for growth of the domestic fertilizer sector, one of them being setting up of JVs abroad to tie up for feedstock. The recent initiative by some players in the industry to set up Joint ventures in gas surplus countries with buy back arrangements is thus a step in the right direction and reaffirms our stated view on strategies for growth in the sector. Similarly, on the phosphate fertilizers front, the country has limited reserves of phosphoric acid and companies have set up joint ventures abroad to tie up for their phosphoric acid requirements. On the policy front, the fertilizer industry had for long been protected under the Retention pricing scheme. However with recent focus on containing subsidies and also encouraging efficiency in the sector, the government has envisaged total decontrol of the sector. The government introduced the new pricing scheme in 2003 as a first step towards total decontrol but the uncertainty and delay over the exact policy parameters have not augured well for the industry. The uncertain policy environment has also not encouraged any major domestic capacity additions. Most of the capacity additions planned is in the nature of expansion or revamp of existing units. Absence of major capacity additions and issues relating to feedstock could widen the demandsupply mismatches. 18 The financial year 2006-07 began with practically no clarity on the policy parameters for both Nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers. The policy parameters for third stage of the New pricing scheme for Urea which was to be implemented from the beginning of the current financial year are yet to be announced and the implementation of the PROF. ABHIJITH SEN committee report on Phosphate fertilizers is also pending. While rising fertilizers subsidies is a matter of concern, delay in decisions on the mechanism to tackle the same can worsen the situation as domestic capacity utilization might drop and force the country to resort to imports. Excessive dependence on imports is not a desirable proposition from both the economic and strategic point of view and hence there is an urgent need of clarity on the policy parameters for the sector. We feel that a comprehensive long term policy addressing the concerns of both the farming community and the domestic industry has become the need of the hour. A long term policy would help create an environment of stability in the industry and in turn help in the overall development of agriculture. Since urea is most widely used, government decides its availability at an affordable price to the farmers. It’s covered under ECA and FCO. India produces a lot of fertilizers, out of which Urea and DAP holds the major chunk. Almost hundred percent of MOP is imported by India. The chemical fertilize are produced in all the three sectors.

Basis on the training need analysis, Annual training calendar is designed and Training programs are organized. LIMITATIONS: 1) Limited interactions with employees. 2) The pattern and the format of the training should be proper so the trainee can easily understand it. 92 3) Training and development program should be entertaining and interesting. 4) Motivate and encourage the trainee for the training programs. 5) Make healthy and friendly environment for the Trainees. SUGGESTIONS 93 SUGGESTION 1. Obtain commitment from trainees for development process. Commitment is essential for the development. If possible link this with appraisals and career development systems. 2. Involve trainees in identifying leadership qualities and create 'skill/behaviour-set' that you seek to develop. Training and development workshops are ideal for this activity. 3. Assess, priorities and agree trainee capabilities, gaps, needs against the skill/behavior-set; individually and as a group, so as to be able to plan group training and individual training according to needs and efficiency of provision. Use the skill/behavior-set tool for this activity. Use the training needs analysis tool for assessing training needs priorities for a group or whole organization. 4. Design and/or source and agree with trainees the activities, exercises, learning, and experiences to achieve required training and development in digestible achievable elements 94 - i.e. break it down. Use the training planner to plan the development and training activities and programs. Record training objectives and link to appraisals. 5. Establish and agree measures, outputs, tasks, standards, milestones, etc. 6. The top management hardly rewards supervisors for carrying out effective training.
