Training and Development is a combined role often called Human Resources Development (HRD), meaning the development of human resources to remain competitive in the marketplace. Training focuses on doing activities today to develop employees for their current jobs and development is preparing employees for future roles and responsibilities.

T&D in Indian Context

T&D have remained neglected in India. In most organization it was considered burden and wasteful expenditure. It was more decorative rather than functional. Organization consider it to be given to an employee once he joins the organization. There was no concept of Career Planning.

Emergence of T&D in India

Till the sixties training activity in most of the Indian Organizations was totally absent or partly present in a rudimentary form. However in the seventies Indian Organizations started becoming aware of the need for development of managers for better management of industries.

 Therefore Executive development programs came up in few educational institutes such as: i. Administrative Staff College of India ii. IIMs iii. TISCO started own training centers and hired outside faculty iv. The concept of Training within industry by ILO came up. v. Training Workshop Initiative programs were basically on the job training to the workers. This program was also not successful as it was enforced by the government and was not at the wish of the employees

 The workers training was limited to on the job training for better productivity and production It is only after Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhis stress on Human resource Development that training took a front seat in the economy A separate HRD ministry was set up in 1985 No doubt the need for training was realized by different organizations however they concentrated mainly on management development rather than worker development
