CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 - Introduction to the Industry:
Power Sector : The Driving Force behind the Breathtaking Growth:
Today, the world is witnessing revolutionary growth in all major sectors of the economy.
Engineering & Electronics Industries, Software Companies, Telecommunication,
Transportation, Medical Science have transformed the world with their immense
contribution to the growth of the nation. They have contributed immensely to our GDP,
generated enormous volume of employment, earning huge amount of foreign exchange for
the country and ultimately improved the quality of life of the people. We have reached a
stage where we cannot live without them. But, the real Driving Force behind the
breathtaking growth of all these sectors is undoubtedly the ‘Power Sector’. If all these
sectors should succeed and continue to contribute to national development, growth of
Power Sector and Power Equipment Manufacturing Sector is imperative.
a)Historical Perspective – Evolution of Heavy Electric Power Equipment Industry:
In the history of electricity, no single defining moment exists. The way we produce,
distribute and use electricity and the devices it powers is the culmination of nearly 300
years of research and development.
Efforts to understand, capture, and use electricity began in the 18th century. For the next
150 years, dozens of "natural scientists" in England, Europe, colonial America, and later
the United States analyzed electricity in nature, but producing it outside of nature was
another matter. That didn't happen on any large scale until the late 19th century. Setting

the stage for widespread commercial use of electricity were international researchers
engaged in pure scientific research, and entrepreneurial businessmen who made their own
major discoveries or produced, marketed and sold products based on others' ideas. Eminent
contributors to today's electrically energized world include:
The operating principle of electromagnetic generators was discovered in the years of
1831–1832 by Michael Faraday. The principle later called Faraday's law.
George Babcock and Steven Wilcox were the founding fathers of the steam-
generating boiler in 1867.
Thomas Doolittle, in 1876, devised a way to make the first hard-drawn copper wire
strong enough for use by commercial electric industry.
Luigi Galvani (1737-1798), an Italian physician and physicist, his early discoveries
led to the invention of the voltaic pile.
Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), discoverer of Ohm's Law.
Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (1745-1827), an Italian physicist
invented the electric battery. The electrical unit "volt" is named for Volta.
Sir Charles Parsons invented the first Steam Powered Turbine Generator for
generating electricity in Thermal Power Plants in 1884.
Emergence of a profession: Edison, Westinghouse, and other inventors and builders of
electrical equipment competed to show the wonders of their new inventions. In 1881,
Lucien Gaulard of France and John Gibbs of England arranged the first successful
alternating-current electrical demonstration in London.
Expositions and world's fairs became popular places to showcase new inventions involving
electricity. Almost as soon as they moved from the drawing board to operational status,
electrical devices and systems were on display, to the delight of admiring crowds
throughout the United States, England, and Europe.

Information Technology Empowers the Power Sector
The Power Sector has immensely benefited by the advancement of Information Technology
in the world. Using both Software and Hardware, the power equipment manufacturers are
striving to provide the most advanced Automation Systems which can enhance the efficiency
of power plants. Remote Controlling of Power Plants situated in faraway places from the place
of manufacturer and providing timely support services ensures minimum breakdown and
almost uninterrupted generation of power!
In line with the general recession seen in the world economy, the Electrical Equipment
Manufacturers were also facing the effect in their business since 2009. However, the
Global Electrical Equipment market recovered to register growth at a CAGR of 4.92
percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market
growth is the increasing demand for electrical equipment from developing nations.
b) Electrical Equipment industry – Indian Perspective
The power sector in India has undergone significant development since Independence.
When India became independent in 1947, the country had a power generating capacity
of 1,362 MW. Hydro power and coal-based thermal power have been the main sources of
electricity. Generation and distribution of electrical power was carried out primarily by
private utility companies. Notable amongst them and still in existence is Calcutta Electric.

Power was available only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages did not have
electricity. After 1947, all new power generation, transmission and distribution in the rural
sector and the urban centers (which was not served by private utilities) came under the
purview of State and Central government agencies. State Electricity Boards (SEBs) were
formed in all the states.
Development of Power Sector is key to economic development. The power Sector has been
receiving adequate priority ever since the process of planned development began in 1950.
The Power Sector has been getting 18-20% of the total Public Sector outlay in initial plan
periods. Remarkable growth and progress have led to extensive use of electricity in all the
sectors of economy in the successive five year plans. Over the years, the installed power
generating capacity in India has increased to 310 GW from meagre 1713 MW in 1950.
In the field of Rural Electrification and pump set energization, country has made a
tremendous progress. About 85% of the villages have been electrified.
Till December 1950 about 37% of the installed capacity was contributed by the public
sector and about 63% was by the private sector. The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956
envisaged the generation, transmission and distribution of power almost exclusively
in the public sector. As a result of this, and facilitated by the Electricity (Supply) Act,
1948, the electricity industry developed rapidly in the State Sector.
In the Constitution of India “Electricity” is a subject that falls under the concurrent list.
Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, led to the creation of State Electricity Boards (SEBs) for
planning and implementing the power development programmes in their respective States
and also central generation companies like NTPC, NHPC for setting up power projects
in the Central Sector.

Power Sector becomes vibrant in the Post Globalisation Era: Following the decisive
turning point in the history of Independent India which witnessed the globalization process,
Government of India thought that it was imperative to expand the Power Sector to keep up
the tempo of development in the country. Realising the fact that the Government
Companies and Corporations alone cannot meet the growing demand for power, which
needed huge investment, the Government of India opened up the Indian Power Sector to
Indian and International Private Power Producers, by:
Amending the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 in 1991 to provide for creation
of private generating companies for setting up Power Plants and bulk selling of
power.
Permitting 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Growth of Power Equipment Manufacturing Industry in India: In line with the growth
in Power Generation Capacity, the Electrical Power Equipment Manufacturing Industry
also saw rapid development in India. The first domestic manufacturer viz., Bharat
Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a Central Public Sector Undertaking, was set up
in early sixties. For close to three decades, BHEL was the sole domestic electric power
equipment manufacturer in the country.
Following its decision to permit FDI for Private Power Generating Companies,
Government of India also permitted the world leaders in Power Equipment
Manufacturing to enter Indian Market with 100% FDI to fulfill the objectives of
National Electricity Policy (NEP), aiming to achieve per capita electricity
consumption of 1,000 kWh through its mission under NEP.
Consequent to the above, a number of world leaders like ABB, Siemens, GE, Alstom,
Honeywell, Toshiba Electric, Westinghouse along with Indian Private Companies like
L&T, Reliance Power, BGR Energy Systems are taking part in power equipment business
in India. Entry of these companies in the field of Power Equipment manufacturing

Changing Outlook of HR: The HR function of today is not the one of yesterday, and
it certainly won’t be the same tomorrow. Especially in the everchanging global
business scenario where only the fittest will survive, Companies are fine tuning their
HR strategies and functions to keep abreast of the changing world. So how do
businesses make sure their HR departments are ready for upcoming challenges?
A Future-Proofing Strategy
The future will arrive regardless of whether an organisation is ready for it. Hence, it
is important for an organisation to ensure its HR team can meet the challenges by
cultivating a knowledgeable, engaged workforce that is ready to embrace it. Here are
some useful tips for ways to accomplish future-proofing:
Evaluate the workforce by listing strengths, weaknesses & areas for improvement.
Create a culture of flexibility by encouraging new ideas and new solutions.
Inspire professional development by facilitating Knowledge Management.
Make sure employees & Management are on the same page.
Compile and analyse data on decisions to consider measures for improvement.

and/or organizational development purposes, and 3) develop an organizational culture in
which supervisor-subordinate relationships, teamwork, and collaboration among sub-units
are strong and contribute to the professional wellbeing, motivation and pride of employees.
HRD climate is characterized by the tendencies such as treating employees as the
prime assets of the Company, perceiving that developing employees is the job of every
manager, believing in the capability of employees, communicating openly, encouraging
risk taking and experimentation, making efforts to help employees recognize their strengths
and weaknesses, creating a general climate of trust, collaboration and autonomy,
supportive personnel policies, and supportive HRD practices. An optimal level of
development climate is essential for facilitating HRD activities and furthering the
goals & objectives of the organisation. The top management subscribing to these values
is a starting point.
A healthy HRD climate certainly bolsters the overall internal environment of the
organisation, fosters employee commitment, involvement and satisfaction with the
job. An improvement in the mental capability, skill and physical capacity of the
people constitutes an increase in the human capital because this enables the human
factor to produce more.
Definition: American Society of Training & Development defines HRD as “the
integrated use of training & development, organizational development & career
development to improve individual, group & organizational effectiveness”.
According to Mclean & Mclean, “HRD is any process that has the potential to develop
adults with work-based knowledge, expertise, productivity & satisfaction whether for
personal gain or for the benefit of an organization, community, nation or ultimately
the whole humanity.”
Scope of HRD: HRD is beneficial and important not only for an organization but also
individual employees, clients, customers etc. who have to deal with a given organization.

Employee Capability Enhancement through Training & Development
2.2 Statement of the Problem
Gone are the days when training & development was seen as a ‘part time’ function or
‘not a must’ function in a number of organisations. This was primarily because the
organisations were living in a highly ‘protected’ environment in their respective field of
business, largely due to lack of competition. This statement is particularly true in case of
Companies operating directly under the Government. The Public Sector Undertakings were
operating under the complete protection of the government viz., assured orders at higher
prices resulting in impressive financial performance; liberal salaries, welfare measures and
other benefits; complete job security etc.
While saying so, we should also consider the commendable services of PSUs to core
sectors of the economy. A number of Public Sector Undertakings, under the Government
of India like HAL, HMT, BEL, BEML, BHEL, Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum etc., have
successfully shouldered the responsibility of leading this great nation towards progress and
prosperity for almost three decades, before the Government decided to accelerate the pace
of growth and opened the country’s economy to the world in the early nineties.
Consequent to the above, a number of world leaders in diverse fields entered Indian market.
Almost all the infrastructure sectors started witnessing the participation of leading Multi-
National Companies(MNCs) who started grabbing the market at competitive rates.
This situation posed a new challenge to Indian companies before whom the only solution
left was “Change…. or Be Left Behind”.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), which is one of the premier Central Public
Sector Undertaking has been at the forefront of country’s economy by strengthening the
Indian Power Sector since 1964. Having a major contribution of 65% in the installed Power

Generating Capacity of India, is by no means a small achievement! With a strong
engineering capability, country-wide manufacturing and service base, ably backed by a
human reservoir of over 42,000 engineers, supervisors and skilled workmen, BHEL was
already a favourite company for investors for being one of the ‘blue chip companies of
India’. For a company which was already on a professional path, the post-globalisation
era brought many more challenges like upgradation of technology, review of its
product-mix in line with current industry requirements and above all, empowering
its human resource to face the competition!
While matching the Company’s technology to world standards and review of product-mix
was already a regular exercise for BHEL, ‘Enhancement of the Capabilities of
Employees’ was a major challenge as it is the human resource which primarily drives
the growth of any organization, not just the money and machines. As competition was
becoming tough each year for the Company, from domestic as well as international
heavy electrical equipment manufacturers, BHEL had a serious issue on hand to
enhance the skills of its employees, change their mindset to accept the realities of the
new era and gear themselves to take on the best in the world.
In this background, I have taken up a study at BHEL. The study aims to examine various
steps taken by BHEL to enhance the capabilities of its employees and to understand to
what extent it succeeded in this endeavor.
As the role of Human Resource Development (HRD) Department is crucial in a task like
this, it was decided to undertake the study of HRD function in the company. As BHEL has
a large number of divisions throughout the country and its policies and programmes are
implemented uniformly across the company, the Bengaluru-based Electronics Division of
BHEL was selected for carrying out this study.

2.5 Limitations of the Study
As compared to some of the leading Private Companies, a Public Sector Undertaking
is perceived to be reluctant in sharing the vital information. Though I was successful in
this to a great extent, some of the old data especially relating to the training &
development programmes conducted prior to globalization era could not be collected.
Data collection was a time consuming exercise. Though most of the data were made
available to me, all of them were not available in one place or they were not readily
available and had to be prepared and given to me.
2.6 Research Type:
Globally, Research Studies have been broadly classified into ten types. They are 1) Basic
Research or Fundamental Research, 2) Ex-Post Facto Research, 3) Social Research,
4) Field Studies, 5) Case Study Research, 6) Casual or Experimental Research, 7)
Descriptive Research, 8) Action Research, 9) Exploratory Research and 10) Market
Research. Researchers will choose the type of research based on their type of study. For
example, if the objective is to find out the demand for a particular product proposed to be
introduced, then the Market Research will be chosen.
Since the title of my Study is pre-planned and structured in design so that the information
collected can be statistically inferred on a population, I have chosen the Descriptive
Research method.
Meaning of Descriptive Research
Descriptive research is conclusive in nature. This means that descriptive research gathers
quantifiable information that can be used for statistical inference through data analysis.
Most often, researchers use it as a method to reveal and measure the strength of a target
group’s opinion, attitude, or behavior with regard to a given subject. But, another common
use of descriptive research would be the surveying of demographical traits in a certain
group (age, income, marital status, gender, etc.). This information could then be studied at

face value, measuring trends over time, or for more advanced data analysis like drawing
correlations, segmentation, benchmarking and other statistical techniques.
Effective Use of Descriptive Research : The trick to conducting any type of research is
to gain only valuable information. The collected data should allow the organization viz.,
BHEL in my case, to take action on a particular problem or opportunity facing it. This is
why, it is essential to create research objectives before starting the survey design! With
properly defined research objectives I was able to create a questionnaire that provided
relevant insights.
The next step to effective descriptive research is to ensure the accuracy of results. This
is possible by limiting bias and error in the surveying design and research method. With
sample surveys, it is not possible to completely avoid the errors, but it is very important to
control the margin of error by having a proper survey sample size.
In a Research study, it is essential to short list 4 or 5 bullet points covering the focus areas.
In the present case, my broad focal points were to understand -
Emphasis being given by BHEL for Training & Development of its Employees
Infrastructure Facilities created for this purpose
What, When, Where, Who, Why and How (5 Ws & 1H) programmes are organized
Perception of Participants in these programmes and
Measurement of Effectiveness of Training Programmes in BHEL.
In a research study, even more than a questionnaire or survey, it is important for the
researcher to remain passive in one’s research. A researcher performs the role of an
Observer, not a Contributor.
Data Analysis: After collecting the data as per the Research Methodology followed,
important task for a researcher would be the transformation of raw data into a form that
will make them easy to understand and interpret; rearranging, ordering, and manipulating

data to generate descriptive information. I completed the analysis process by following the
below mentioned steps :
Prepare Tabulated Tables and Bar Graphs in Excel Sheet
Prepare an objective analysis of available data for each question. For a person
carrying out the study, no data is right or wrong.
Interpret the data
Draw Inference
2.7 Methodology of the Study
Research methodology is a way to solve the research problem systematically. It may be
understood as a study to know how research is done scientifically. Research methodology
explains the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying research
problem along with the logic behind them. Therefore, research methodology has many
dimensions & research methods do constitute a part of the research methodology. The
scope of research methodology is wider than that of research methods. The term
methodology answers certain questions like Why certain data were collected, What,
Where, How were they collected and How were they analysed?
Research Method:
One of the primary differences between research methodology & methods is that research
methods are the methods by which an investigation is made into subject or a topic. On the
other hand, research methodology explains the methods by which you may proceed with
your research. Research method involves the actual experiments, tests, surveys etc. In short
it can be said that research methods aim at finding solutions to research problem whereas
research methodology aims at the employment of the correct procedures to find out
solutions. A research method therefore refers only to various specific tools or ways in
which data can be collected & analyzed.

Collection of useful and relevant data is crucial in a Study. There are two types of data
which have to be focused on by the researcher viz., 1) Primary Data and 2) Secondary Data.
Meaning of Primary & Secondary Data:
Primary data includes information originally collected from interviews, meetings,
surveys, questionnaires and measurements. Secondary data can be found by studying
Annual Reports, Catalogues, Journals, Newspapers and a large number of Web Sites,
which is the most advanced source of collecting the secondary data.
Pros and Cons are there to both primary and secondary data. Primary data is tailored to
the needs of the researcher. When conducting a study, researchers can ask the questions
that best collect the data that help with their study through the use of surveys, interviews
and direct observations. Primary data can be either quantitative, focused on numbers and
measurements, or qualitative. However, it is time consuming.
Secondary data is usually immediately available at little or no cost. It can also be used
for extended lengths of time. For example, looking at a company's Annual Report, financial
data over a 10-year period can provide insight into trends that may not be obtainable from
primary data. The downside to secondary data is that it is generally focused on broader
topics and may be out of date.
For my Study I have opted for both Primary & Secondary Data as explained below:
Primary Data was collected through
1. Employee Perception Survey involving filling of the questionnaire by the employees
covering all categories.
2. Personal Interactions with a cross section of employees covering all the categories.
3. Personal discussion on a continuous basis during the study period with
Sr.Administrative Officer of HRD Department.
4. Personal discussion with AGM and Head of HRD Department.

data over a 10-year period can provide insight into trends that may not be obtainable from
primary data. The downside to secondary data is that it is generally focused on broader
topics and may be out of date.
For my Study I have opted for both Primary & Secondary Data as explained below:
Primary Data was collected through
1. Employee Perception Survey involving filling of the questionnaire by the employees
covering all categories.
2. Personal Interactions with a cross section of employees covering all the categories.
3. Personal discussion on a continuous basis during the study period with
Sr.Administrative Officer of HRD Department.
4. Personal discussion with AGM and Head of HRD Department.

Secondary Data was collected through
5. Annual Reports, 2.Books, 3.Catalogues & 4.Web Sites of BHEL & other Companies.
2.8 Research Instrument:
Research Instrument is the generic term that researchers use for a measurement device
(survey, interviews, questionnaire etc.). To help distinguish between instrument and
instrumentation, consider that the instrument is the device and instrumentation is the course
of action (the process of developing, testing, and using the device).
Instruments fall into two broad categories, researcher-completed and subject-completed.
For example, the Researcher preparing and handing over the questionnaire to the
respondent can be called as Researcher Completed Instrument and the Respondent
filling up of the questionnaire and returning the same to the researcher can be called
Subject-Completed Instrument. The Research Instruments used by me for my research
study are :
A. PERSONAL INTERVIEWS : I met a number of Senior Officers of HRM and HRD
Departments including AGM-HRD, DGM-HRD, Sr. Administrative Officer-HRD,
who shared useful information with me on HRD Strategies, Programmes, their
effectiveness etc. Besides, I met a number of workers, supervisors and senior officers
in various other departments who also gave useful information on HRD activities in
the Company.
B. EMPLOYEE PERCEPTION SURVEY : A Questionnaire (ANNEXURE-A) was
used as a Research Instrument to carry out a Sample Survey amongst the employees of
BHEL-Electronics Division, Bengaluru. The primary objective of the survey was to
collect the views of sample population with regard to the purpose, types, frequency,
quality & content, usefulness of the training programmes and also the changing
approach of the management to enhance the capability of the employees. The
questionnaire, comprising of two parts viz., Part-A dealing with Respondent’s personal

profile (4 questions) and Part-B dealing with questions on Training & Development
programmes and their effectiveness (17 questions) was prepared. The questionnaire
focused on the following key elements of the topic chosen for my Study:
Emphasis given by BHEL for Training & Development of its Employees
Infrastructure Facilities created for this purpose
Five Ws and one H viz., What, Where, When, Who, Why and How programmes are
organized
Employee-Perception about the quality and content of the programmes and
Measurement of Effectiveness of Training Programmes by the management.
Sample Size : M/s Creative Research Systems, USA, one of the leading professional
company in the field of Research Studies, say that deciding the right Sample Size itself is
very important to achieve the desired reliability of the survey. It suggests that the
researchers should first consider the Confidence Interval which is also known as Margin
of Error and Confidence Level. If the Confidence Interval or Margin of Error is likely to
be around 5%, then the Confidence Level would be 95%. If the Margin of Error would be
around 10%, then the Confidence Level would be 90%. After taking into account both
these factors and the total population of the organization where the study is undertaken,
sample size should be calculated. As per this system, sample size would be very high.
However, when we look at the current practice in India, most of the professional research
agencies limit their sample size to as small as 1% of the population. One may be surprised
to know that TV News Channels who engage the services of professional research
organisations, operate at much less than 1% for Exit Polls which forecast the most
likely results of elections and most of the times they have proved to be reliable!
Hence, I, with the advice of my guides both at the College and at BHEL, fixed a Sample
Size of 100 which works out to almost 5% of the total population of 2050 at the
Electronics Division of BHEL. I am confident of this sample size, it is very practicable

3.0 COMPANY PROFILE :
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)
3.1 History:
Thanks to the vision of the then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who
called the Public Sector Industries as the “Temples of Modern India”, the Bharat Heavy
Electricals Limited (BHEL) was established in 1964 at Bhopal (MP). The main objective
of forming BHEL was to strengthen the Power Sector, the backbone of Indian Economy.
Setting up of BHEL paved the way for indigenous manufacture of the main
equipment required for setting up Power Projects in the country, thus reducing
dependence on foreign sources. Subsequently, the Company started growing and
expanding its business portfolio by manufacturing almost all the equipment required for a
Power Project. As a result, BHEL’s manufacturing divisions were established at Haridwar
in Uttarakhand, Hyderabad (AP), Tiruchirappalli (TN), Ranipet (TN), Bangalore
(Karnataka), Jagadishpur (UP), Vishakhapatnam (AP) and other places.

As explained earlier, BHEL enjoyed a dominant position in the Indian Power Sector
business. But, since the early 1990s, ever since the globalization process commenced,
BHEL started losing its monopoly owing to severe competition from leading manufacturers
from all over the world. Presently, BHEL is undergoing the most challenging period in
its history not only because of competition, but also because the Power Sector growth has
slowed down in India for about 4 years now, largely due to other issues like Coal Scam.
Though power sector is on a recovery path now, competition is increasing every day
affecting both prices and profits. As a result, a slide is seen in the sales and profit of
BHEL since 2013-14.
However, because of its intrinsic strength as India’s Engineering Giant, BHEL has still
retained the Leadership Position. As can be seen from the pie chart (Left), BHEL’s share
in country’s installed Power Generation Capacity is 55% (earlier 65%) as against 45% by
others on 31
st
March 2015. Winning a number of contracts even in the midst of stiff
competition, BHEL has an Outstanding Order Book to the tune of Rs.1,10,000 Crore!

historic occasion. In 1976, the Government of Karnataka, handed over two of the
State Government Undertakings viz., Radio & Electricals Manufacturing Company
(REMCO) and Mysore Porcelains Division (MPL) to BHEL. Thus, on the premises of
REMCO, the Electronics Division of BHEL came into existence and on the premises of
MPL, the Electro-Porcelains Division (EPD) was established.
Electronics Division has emerged as a Market Leader for supply of Advanced Automation
Systems for Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution; Process Industries like
Steel, Paper, Chemical, Fertilizers etc.; Modern Control Systems for 6000 HP Electric
Locomotives of Indian Railways; MW-size Large Solar Power Plants; Solar Panels and

4.0 DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
4.1 Title : Employee Capability Building through Training & Development
4.2 Sample Survey, Data Collection, Tabulation: A random sample survey was carried
out among 100 employees representing all categories viz., workmen, supervisors and
executives covering all the major departments. A questionnaire, consisting of two parts
viz., Part-A for collecting personal profile of the respondents and Part-B for collecting their
response to various HRD related questions was given to all the 100 respondents. The duly
filled-in questionnaires were collected, data tabulated and separate table and graphs
prepared for each question.
4.3 Tables, Analysis & Interpretation, Graphs : With a view to understand the response
of participants in the survey for each parameter against each question, Tables and Graphs
were prepared to facilitate detailed analysis. These graphs helped to a great extent to
understand the views of the respondents and try to bring out my observations.

needs to be studied. To improve the employee perception, efforts should be made to reach
all the employees through a more effective communication system.

B3) Does BHEL link Training and Development with Company’s Business
Strategies?
Response No. of respondents Percentage
Yes 87 87%
No 13 13%
Total 100 100%
Table =4.3.7
Analysis: 87% of the respondents have said that BHEL does link Training & Development
with Company’s business strategies, while 13% have said ‘No’. (Graph 4.3.7).
Interpretation/Inference: Those who have said ‘Yes’ seem to be aware of how important
it is to link Training & Development with Company’s Business Strategies. Those who have
said ‘No’ perhaps think it is not there or they are not aware. Here, we can make a common
observation. For questions B1 to B3 which required the responses to be in either ‘Yes’
or ‘No’, those who have responded ‘Yes’ and those who have responded ‘No’ are
appearing to be more or less on the same scale. This means, while around 87%
respondents know about a) Training & Development Policy in BHEL, b) T&D a
thrust area in the Company and c) BHEL links T&D with Company’s Business
Strategies, for all the three questions, around 13% have said no. This trend gives an
impression that BHEL needs to focus more on this section of the population through
regular interaction.

Table =4.3.8
Analysis: 41% of the respondents ‘Completely Agree’ that BHEL always focus on
continuously developing the skills of employees. 55% say ‘Agree to some extent’. (Graph
4.3.8).
Interpretation/Inference: The 41% of the respondents who ‘Completely Agree’ convey
the message that continuous skill development of employees is a priority area in BHEL.
But, the majority 55% who ‘Agree to Some Extent’ seem to be partly agreeing and feeling
that more efforts are required in this direction. Those who say ‘don’t agree’ may be just
4%, but it cannot be ignored. Skill development process in today’s global scenario is a part
and parcel of management function to enhance the capabilities of the employees. From the
responses collected, especially considering the feedback of 55% and 4% respectively, we
can infer that considerable percentage of employees feel that more efforts are required in
this direction.

Table =4.3.9
Analysis: 42% have said that they ‘Completely Agree’ to the question on BHEL
recognizing T&D as a means to enhance the Capabilities of Employees. A majority of
55% say ‘Agree to Some Extent’.
Interpretation/Inference: 42% who ‘Completely Agree’ seem to be fully aware of BHEL
identifying Training & Development as a means to Enhance the Capabilities of Employees,
may be because they are more exposed to such programmes than others. 55% respondents
who ‘Agree to Some Extent’ may be suggesting that more efforts are required. (Graph
4.3.9).
It is interesting to observe that for questions B4 and B5 relating to Skill Enhancement
efforts and Training & Development as a means to Enhance the Capabilities of
Employees, Respondents seem to be on the same lines with 41 -42% ‘Completely
Agreeing’ and 55% ‘Agreeing to Some Extent’. Both the questions are inter-related
and responses for both the questions are consistent. As an organization, BHEL while
feeling happy about those who ‘Completely Agree’, should give more attention
towards those who say ‘Agree to Some Extent’ and those who say ‘Don’t Agree’ to
improve their perception for overall betterment.

Interpretation/Inference: While 51% of the Respondents indicate that all the above listed
channels are used for identifying the training needs of employees, others have seen each
of the channels in isolation. What is significant is the role of Training Co-Ordinators. 24%
have separately rated the option of Training Co-Ordinators and in the rating of ‘ All the
Above’ also, the option of Training Co-ordinator is included. Hence, we can logically
conclude that in BHEL, while other channels are active, Training Co-Ordinators play an
important role in identifying the training needs of employees. Another point clearly evident
here is the total efforts to ensure the participation of employees in Training & Development
programmes, by using both manual and online methods.

Interpretation/Inference: To make any training programme interesting to the participants
and make them actively involve themselves in such programmes, it is essential to enhance
its quality and content. This can be achieved by having a mix of lectures, power point
presentations, creative exercises, interaction between the faculty and participants etc.
Based on the above data, we can logically infer that BHEL is making efforts to
enhance the quality of programmes by incorporating all the above tools and

Analysis: Whereas 47% say that Printed Copies of Course Materials are being given, 9%
and 2% say that they are getting the same through online means. While 11% respondents
say that they are receiving in soft mode, 42% say that they are getting the same in both
hard and soft formats, which clearly states that BHEL indeed is using Information
Technology for HRD activities, but there is scope for further improvement (Graph
4.3.12).
Interpretation/Inference : In line with the changing times and technologies,
changes/improvements are bound to happen in big corporates like BHEL. But, considering
the different sections of the employees, especially the workers who may not be familiar
with Information Technology, Internet, Email etc., switching over to such technologies for
communicating with employees can be achieved in a phased manner. From the data
available above, we can infer that hard format i.e. printed copies constitute a major portion
of course materials. Besides the 47% who say material is given in the form of printed
copies, the 42% who have said ‘All the Above’ which also includes the option ‘Printed
Copies’, we can logically conclude that traditional method of providing course materials
to participants is continuing in BHEL in a big way, but the information technology is being
used for this purpose in a slow pace.

Interpretation/Inference: Whereas we are sure that the 39% of the respondents
completely agree that the training programmes are lively and enthuse the participants, 59%
of them say ‘Agree to Some Extent’ which logically means that the programmes are lively,
but further improvement is required. Here also, the 2% respondents ‘don’t agree’. Success
of any training programme depends on how much lively it is and how much it is holding
the participants’ attention. Faculty members and the quality of their presentations and at
the same time, active involvement of participants will go a long way in making the
programmes more lively and productive.

Table =4.3.14
Analysis: The above table shows that 53% of the respondents participate in 1 to 2 training
programmes in a year, whereas there are sizeable 27% who take part in 3 to 4 programmes
in a year. 12% participate in 5 to 6 programmes and 8% in more than 6 programmes in a
year. (Graph 4.3.14).
Interpretation/Inference: The effort to enhance the capabilities of employees in BHEL
also aim at achieving all-round development in them. To do so, BHEL conducts a variety
of programmes including those relating to work area, personality development,
communication skills, health, safety, environment etc. Opportunities are given to
employees to participate in all these types of programmes. Hence, each employee
participates in more than one programme during the year. These varying percentages also
reflect the participation of employees on the basis of ‘need’. Some employees may
participate in more number of programmes compared to others.

also aim at achieving all-round development in them. To do so, BHEL conducts a variety
of programmes including those relating to work area, personality development,
communication skills, health, safety, environment etc. Opportunities are given to
employees to participate in all these types of programmes. Hence, each employee
participates in more than one programme during the year. These varying percentages also

whereas 21% rate they are ‘Highly Satisfied’. 23% say they are ‘Fairly Satisfied’ and 3%
say ‘Not Satisfied’. (Graph 4.3.15).
Interpretation/Inference: The first two parameters viz., ‘High Satisfied’ and ‘Satisfied’
fall into the same category with a degree of difference. From the data available for these
two parameters, we can logically infer that majority of the respondents, which is as
high as 74%, are satisfied with the training programmes. Here, the term ‘satisfied’
covers both quality and content of the programmes. Views of 23% who say ‘Fairly
Satisfied’ and 3% who say ‘Not Satisfied’ are also significant for BHEL to think of
improvements.

Table =4.3.16
Analysis: As can be seen from the table, 29% say their Seniors ‘Always’ hold post-
programme discussion with them, while 36% say it is done most of the times. 31% say
‘Sometimes’ and 4% say it is done ‘Never’. (Graph 4.3.16).
Interpretation/Inference: The Senior Officers who nominate the participants will have a
duty to seek the feedback of the concerned employees after the training programme. This
will help them assess how much has the programme benefited the employee and how much
of it can be implemented in the organization. Considering the available data for
Parameter ‘Always’ and ‘Most of the times’, we can logically conclude that in a
majority of 65% cases, senior officers discuss with them after the programme.
Definite areas for improvement to make the training programmes more purposeful are 31%
saying ‘sometimes’ discussion takes place and 4% saying it never takes place.

‘Sometimes’ and 2% say ‘Never’ (Graph 4.3.17).
Interpretation/Inference: Here, the table shows an impressive improvement in
information sharing between the team members, as compared to information sharing
between Participants and Senior Officers. analysed at Table B12. Sharing of knowledge
gathered at the training programmes is a key requirement to build a capable team in
the organization. Most of the times, only one or two members from each team may
participate in a programme, but other members should also get the benefit of the
programme. This can be ensured by the participants by sharing information with others.
Hence, it is essential for the participants to share their knowledge with their team members.

Interpretation/Inference: Main objective of any training programme is to achieve people
development and through that enhancing the operational parameters like Quality,
Productivity and Performance. When 47% of the respondents ‘Completely Agree’ with this
point, we may infer that these people participate in such programmes with a positive frame
of mind to derive maximum benefit for themselves as well as for the organization and such
people would have seen the success. A majority 51% ‘Agree to Some Extent’ which again
reflect on the positive impact of training programmes, while at the same time they also

of February 2017, was truly a rewarding experience for me.
I had read about the BHEL in newspapers and knew it is one of the blue-chip Central PSU,
responsible for strengthening the country’s power sector. The Company, with over 50
years of service, having manufacturing base throughout the country has added over 1.30
Lakh MW to nation’s power generation capacity, besides business presence in more than
80 countries covering all the inhabited continents! BHEL’s management rightly attributes
its tremendous growth and success over the years to its 42,000 employees.
With all the above strong points on its side, BHEL was carrying with it the brand of being
a Public Sector Company, under the control of Government of India. The general
perception of the public that PSUs are not so efficient, they are a cost-burden on the
country etc., was surely faced by BHEL also to some extent. So, when the globalization
process began in India, the apprehension was about the adaptability of BHEL to the
changing market requirements and its ability to face the world-leaders.
In this background, it was interesting to study how BHEL adjusted itself to the
competitive economy and how it prepared its human resource in this direction by
enhancing their capabilities. During my study in BHEL, which included personal
interaction with employees including senior officers, browsing of various documents and
conducting of employee perception survey, I started realizing that BHEL and its employees
were making sincere efforts to face the stiff competition in the market and are indeed seeing
the fruits of their efforts.
I place below 17 important findings covering the functioning of HRD in BHEL,
quantity/quality and content of training programmes, their effect on the employees and the
system existing in the company to measure the effectiveness of these programmes.

5.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND SOLUTION
5.1 Summary of Findings
The six-week long Study which I undertook in the Electronics Division of BHEL from the
2
nd
of January to the 15
th
of February 2017, was truly a rewarding experience for me.
I had read about the BHEL in newspapers and knew it is one of the blue-chip Central PSU,
responsible for strengthening the country’s power sector. The Company, with over 50
years of service, having manufacturing base throughout the country has added over 1.30

80 countries covering all the inhabited continents! BHEL’s management rightly attributes
its tremendous growth and success over the years to its 42,000 employees.
With all the above strong points on its side, BHEL was carrying with it the brand of being
a Public Sector Company, under the control of Government of India. The general
perception of the public that PSUs are not so efficient, they are a cost-burden on the
country etc., was surely faced by BHEL also to some extent. So, when the globalization
process began in India, the apprehension was about the adaptability of BHEL to the
changing market requirements and its ability to face the world-leaders.

quantity/quality and content of training programmes, their effect on the employees and the
system existing in the company to measure the effectiveness of these programmes.

Based on my interaction
with the officers of
HRD Department and
various other departments, I found out that BHEL-Electronics Division has identified HRD
as a separate function right from the beginning. Earlier, i.e. prior to globalisation process
began, this function was called the Training & Development Department which was
primarily concentrating on conducting several routine programmes covering
Workers’ Education Classes, Safety Classes, Lectures etc.
But, as the business scenario started taking new shapes and the global market became
more and more competitive, BHEL felt the imperative need to enhance the
capabilities of their human resource to make them effectively face the emerging
challenges. With this, the Company started giving additional thrust on this function
which was renamed “Human Resource Development”. With this HRD started getting
a professional touch in its functions. A full-fledged HRD Building was constructed with
facilities like three aesthetically designed Conference Halls, latest audio-visual
systems and a dedicated Video Conferencing facility.
The programmes conducted by HRD Department covers most of the core subjects required
for an employee, besides focussing on his or her own job requirement. The training
programmes include:

also conducted at various professional institutes as well as at BHEL’s Corporate HRDI.
Training at Collaborators’ Places : Besides the above programmes, BHEL deputes its
employees to its Collaborators’ places located in different parts of the world. These training
programmes are essentially need-based and are directed at familiarising the participants on
new technologies acquired from the collaborators. During the current year, eight employees
were sent for such trainings.
v)Being a Central PSU, BHEL
every year signs a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the
Government of India committing a
certain level of performance. The
MoU also includes various aspects
of management including HRD.

vi)Number of Programmes
conducted in BHEL -
Electronics Division are quite
impressive. As per the data
available, more number of
training programmes were
conducted as compared to the
numbers planned. This is
because of addition of few
more programmes during the
course of the year.
vii)Coverage of employees in training programmes also is quite encouraging. The
below placed table shows the percentage of employees (both Female and Male) who have
undergone training programmes during the last five years. In case of Male & Female
Employees the highest participation of 93% and 94% respectively were recorded during
2016-17.

MALE 1650 81 86 89 91 93
While there is slight fluctuation in the percentage of female participation over the
years, it is interesting to observe that male participation is steadily increasing,
perhaps because of recruitment of more number of young men at various induction
levels.

Though the manpower
strength in BHEL-

2050, the second bar in
the above graph
indicates Number of
Employees trained in
In-house programmes
to be 5597. This is
because a large number
of employees have
participated in more
than two programmes
each. 6.12 Mandays
per employee, per year the thrust given on people development efforts in BHEL.
viii)During the last five years, expenditure on training programmes shows an impressive
figure of Rs.31 Lakh at the minimum during 2012-13 and Rs.38 Lakh at the maximum
during 2015-16.
Amount indicated above is
only for conducting the
programmes. Employees'
TA, DA etc., are not included.
Considering the fact that
most of the training
programmes have taken
place using the in-house
facilities, the money spent on
T&D programmes is quite impressive.

ix)The Training Programmes are conducted in a systematic manner with the help of
following measures:
1. Identifying the Training Needs of the Employees of all categories through:
a)Training Co-Ordinators nominated in all major departments, b) Annual Performance
Appraisal System and c) On-line System of HRD. In all the three channels, employees
and training co-ordinators interact with each other for the training needs which are
communicated to HRD Department. While entering their online annual
performance plans, Supervisors and Executives identify the Development Plan
for themselves which are mapped by HRD for organising the training programme.
2. HRD Dept, well before the commencement of
financial year, publishes the Training
Calendar for the whole year. Employees or
their Superiors will select the suitable
programmes and send the nominations to
HRD. This helps the participants to plan
their official works suitably and participate
in the programme.
3. Selection of experienced and expert faculty
members including those from BHEL to
handle subjects directly relating to the Company and external faculty members who are
subject specialists in their own field.
4. Preparation of course materials and making them available in hard and soft
format. Hard copies are given to the participants during the programme and soft copies
are hosted on intranet website for online study.
5. Most of the programmes include Power Point Presentations, practical & creative
exercises and interaction between faculty and the participants to make the
programmes lively.

the total employee strength are below 39 years of age, with more than 20 years of service
remaining which is crucial for any organization to carry forward. 9% respondents in the
age group of 40-49 and 41% in the age group of 50 years and above perform the role
of mentors, grooming their youngsters to become the future leaders of the company.
xi)For any growth-aspirant company and for any company willing to succeed in the market,
it will always be essential to keep enhancing the capabilities of employees to make

them on par with the changing business. In this direction, BHEL is giving a major thrust
on Training & Development. Spending 6.12 Mandays per employee for this purpose is a
creditable performance!
xii)Linking Training & Development with the Company’s Business Strategies is key
to realise the business objectives and also it enables people to take HRD more
seriously. From the survey, it is evident that Training and Development activity is aligned
to BHEL’s Business Strategies and all the Training Programmes are planned and executed
as per this.
xiii)In line with the changes and improvements in Quality of Training Programmes, BHEL
has also incorporated innovative and creative practices, tools and techniques in the
training programmes. While the class room lectures take lesser time, creative and
practical exercises aimed at testing the thinking ability and personality of the
participants are becoming essential contents. For example, in a team exercise, each team
is given the task of completing a job like building the blocks. Here, the chosen leader will
be blindfolded upon which he will start building the block with the support of team
members. This is to demonstrate that a leader without team support is like a blind
person, but can do wonders with the support and guidance of team members.
xiv)BHEL has been effectively using Information Technology to take HRD
Programmes to next level. Processes like identifying their training needs, making
available various HRD inputs and course materials, conducting online employee
perception surveys besides measuring the effectiveness of the programmes are conducted
online.
xv) The practice of information sharing after the training programmes, exists in the
Company between participants and senior officers and participants & team members so
that larger section of the human resource is benefited from such programmes. However,
this process needs to spread across the organization on a larger scale.

5.2 Conclusion
Globalisation of Indian Economy led to stiff competition forcing the Indian Companies,
especially PSUs to come out of protectionism to face the hard realities to stay in the race.
These companies had to change their mind set and draw fresh strategies to survive and
succeed. Similarly, BHEL also had to transform itself by improving its competitiveness
by enhancing the capabilities of its human resource.
I undertook my study focusing on the core issue of “Enhancing Employee Capability
through Training & Development”, trying to find out how BHEL adapted itself to the
changing scenario in the country, how did it focus on developing the skills of its employees
and change their mindset to accept the new challenges and effectively compete with other
leading companies.
At this juncture, I must express that my study started with a number of concerns like
whether BHEL being a government owned company will share necessary data or allow its
employees to freely exchange their views with me. However, within the first few days of

5.2 Conclusion
Globalisation of Indian Economy led to stiff competition forcing the Indian Companies,
especially PSUs to come out of protectionism to face the hard realities to stay in the race.
These companies had to change their mind set and draw fresh strategies to survive and
succeed. Similarly, BHEL also had to transform itself by improving its competitiveness
by enhancing the capabilities of its human resource.
I undertook my study focusing on the core issue of “Enhancing Employee Capability
through Training & Development”, trying to find out how BHEL adapted itself to the
changing scenario in the country, how did it focus on developing the skills of its employees
and change their mindset to accept the new challenges and effectively compete with other
leading companies.
At this juncture, I must express that my study started with a number of concerns like
whether BHEL being a government owned company will share necessary data or allow its
employees to freely exchange their views with me. However, within the first few days of

Development in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited
A Maharatna Central PSU

my visit to BHEL, all my concerns were cleared. HRD Department shared all required data
with me. During my survey exercise, the employees freely interacted with me.
My study, collection of various data as explained above, tabulation, analysis of the
same have revealed one vital information i.e. BHEL, like any other professionally
run company, has taken the new business challenges seriously and it is re-inventing
itself continuously by adapting itself to the new expectations of the market. It is
making accelerated efforts to enhance the capabilities of its employees which is very
crucial to succeed in the competitive market which is going to be more tougher in the
days ahead .
It is satisfying to note that these efforts have brought about fair amount of success to
BHEL in terms of its business performance. This is also reflected in the Company and
employees winning laurels and recognitions. I feel BHEL is using Globalisation and
competitive environment as opportunities to bring the best out of it.
