Introduction

The HR functioning is changing with time and with this change, the relationship between the
training function and other management activity is also changing. The training and development
activities are now equally important with that of other HR functions. Gone are the days, when
training was considered to be futile, waste of time, resources, and money. Now a day, training
is an investment because the departments such as, marketing and sales, HR, production,
finance, etc., depends on training for its survival. If training is not considered as a priority or
not seen as a vital part in the organization, then it is difficult to accept that such a company
has effectively carried out HRM. Training actually provides the opportunity to raise the profile
development activities in the organization.
