EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Telecommunication is a technology intensive industry with a high probability of
obsolescence. Our country has witnessed a number of technologies varying from magneto
exchanges to the modern New Technology Digital Switches. We have also seen changes
in the transmission technology starting from carrier systems to the DWDM systems
providing long distance circuits across the length and breadth of the country.
Telecommunications today is both a public utility and a vital infra-structure. Therefore an
in house training center is an essential institution for continuous training of the officers
and employees in this key technological field.

Training is a process through which a person enhances and develops his efficiency,
capacity and effectiveness at work by improving and updating his knowledge and
understanding the skills relevant to perform his or her job.

Training also helps a person cultivate appropriate and desired behavior and attitude
towards the work and people. Unless training is provided, the jobs and lives of employees
in organizations are at stake.

It gives people an awareness of the Rules & Procedures to guide their behavior. It is an

application of knowledge to improve the performance on the Current job or to prepare

one for an intended job.

Organization & individual for their survival & attainment of mutual goals should

develop & progress simultaneously; this can be done mainly through training technique

because training is the most important technique & it is a value addition to the

organization through Human Resource Development for the development of the

employee. The employee she/he been selected, placed & introduced in an organization

should be provided with training facilities in order to adjust & make them suitable for the



Job as no organization can get a candidate who exactly matches with the job &

organizational requirements.

The trained employees are the valuable assets to any organization. Training at BSNL is

given when there is a difference between the job requirements & employees present

specifications. Thus employee training is the most important sub-system, specialized &

one of the fundamental operative functions of Human Resource Development.

Organizational efficiency, productivity, progress & development, also organization

viability, stability & growth to greater extent depend on training. If the required training

is not provided it leads to the performance failure of the employees. Training enhances

the Competence, Commitment, and Creativity & Contribution to the organization.

The first step in my study is to find out the effectiveness of training and development in

achieving the goals of the company, to study the different methods of training followed at

BSNL, The basis on which training programmees are planned and scheduled and how the

performance appraisal helps in identifying training needs.

The second step was data collection through various sources I used both primary and

secondary data for the study as both are quiet essential in any type of survey.

primary data was collected through survey and personal interview, whereas secondary

data made use of certain reports from the HRD department provided the information as to
the total no of employees, schedule of training programs, number of persons attending it

and other such things. The secondary data also included textbooks, company data,
internet.

The analysis of the questionnaire was carried out through which the purpose of the study

was served. The analysis was done by using statistical tool in which the study made use

of two test that is : frequency test and correlation.



These tests gave the clear idea about the most significant factors which are positively

correlated and those factors which are not so significant and are not positively correlated.

Hence it helped the study to identify the important factors which are quiet essential for

effective training and development in the organization.

This study gives a detailed idea about the employee’s attitude towards the training

program and how the employees apply the knowledge, skills and attitude in job

performance.

Therefore through the analysis the study could be interpreted that the training and

development programs are quiet effective but still needs to be improved on some of the

aspects mentioned above.



INTRODUCTION TO TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human Resource Management is defined as the people who staff and manage
organization. It comprises of the functions and principles that are applied to retaining,
training, developing, and compensating the employees in organization. It is also
applicable to non-business organizations, such as education, healthcare, etc Human
Resource Management is defined as the set of activities, programs, and functions that are
designed to maximize both organizational as well as employee effectiveness……………
……………………
Scope of HRM without a doubt is vast. All the activities of employee, from the time of
his entry into an organization until he leaves, come under the horizon of HRM.The
divisions included in HRM are Recruitment, Payroll, Performance Management, Training
and Development, Retention, Industrial Relation, etc. Out of all these divisions, one such
important division is training and development.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT 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.

The modern approach of training and development is that Indian Organizations have
realized the importance of 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 AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the
availability of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that, there
are four other objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.

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

Organizational Objectives – assist the organization with its primary objective by bringing
individual effectiveness.

Functional Objectives – maintain the department’s contribution at a level suitable to the
organization’s needs.

Training in Public Sector

Indian Public Sector is passing through massive changes due to advancement in science
and technology and competition from private sector. India has nearly one-sixth of the
world's population. This over abundant human resource needs to be converted to asset.
This is possible only through proper training and development. The former Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi rightly sensed this need and had established a separate Ministry
for Human Resource Development in 1985. He stressed on the development of human
resources and because of his initiatives, training had taken a front seat in the national
economy. Later on, most of the PSEs realized the need and importance of training their
employees for better and improved results. The human resource development approach is
essential in order to have the optimum utilization of manpower for the benefit of both, the
employees and the organization.

After opening up of the economy, there has been tremendous amount of pressure on the
PSEs to increase productivity of their employees on one hand and reduce surplus
manpower on the other. PSEs have found out the route to reduce their manpower strength



by adopting Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). The biggest challenge in VRS is to
safeguard talent drain. Talented employees see this as an opportunity and are moving
away from PSEs in search of high paid jobs in private and multinational companies,
which leads to scarcity of trained manpower. On the one side they get lump sum
compensation package by opting for VRS and on the other side they will be attracted by
MNCs and other private sector enterprises (The Indian Express, January 25, 2001;
Business Line, June 08, 2000; www.syndicatebank.com). Nearly 40% of the employees
in Reliance Petroleum were drawn from the public sector (Vittal, 2001). This again
emphasizes the need and importance of training and employee retention in PSEs.
Research conducted by TVRLS on VRS also proves that good outside opportunity is one
of the important reasons for employees opting for VRS (www.tvrls.com).

Government of India promoted PSEs to fulfill the social objectives since the time of the
first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru. As a result, reservation for socially and
educationally weaker sections of the society was introduced in public sector jobs. The
government has banned de-reservation of vacancies meant for the reserved categories
since 1989 and reservation for other backward classes were introduced in 1993. Now
PSEs are required to recruit up to 50% of their manpower from the reserved categories. In
the event of candidates from reserved categories not meeting the required standards,
reserved seats are filled after relaxing the standards (Naik, 1998). This is another reason
to concentrate more on training and development activities in PSEs and to provide proper
training and development opportunities to persons recruited on relaxed standards, so that
they can come up on par with the required standards.

In the year 2000, 11th Finance Commission emphasized that the second phase of
structural reforms should concentrate on the extensive restructuring of PSEs. This
restructuring should not only give PSEs the same benefits of autonomy and freedom as
the private sector, but also free them from the shackles of ministries from which they
originally emerged. In one of its recommendations, this Commission said that it a public
sector enterprise fails to demonstrate its sustainability and cannot come out of the zone of
chronic losses after five years of structurally reformed existence, it should be sold of at



whatever price it can fetch. This further emphasized the need for training and
development in PSEs to improve their performance. (Sudhman, 2000)

IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING AT TELECOM SECTOR

Telecom is one of the fastest growing sectors in India with a growth of 21% and revenue
of Rs 86,720 crore in the year 2006. The sector is expected to grow over 150% by 2012.
With increase in competition between the major players like BSNL, MTNL, Hutchison
Essar, BPL, Idea, Bharti Tele services, Tata, etc, the requirement for mobile analysts,
software engineers, and hardware engineers for mobile handsets has increased. However,
holding an engineering degree is not enough to survive in the Telecom Sector. There is
constant need of updating of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

With this rapid growth in Telecom Sector, the need for trained professionals in bound to
rise and so is the training need. The total training market in Telecom Sector is estimated
to Rs 400 crore.

Many top players are spending a huge amount on training and development, for example
BSNL alone spends more than 100 crore on training and development of its employees
through the Advanced Level Telecommunications Training Centre (ALTTC) and 43



other regional training institutes. Reliance has also established Dhirubhai Ambani
Institute of Information and Communication Technology. In addition to that, Bharti has
also tied-up with IIT Delhi for the Bharti School of Telecommunication Technology and
Management.

With the increase in competition, availability of huge amount of information through
internet, magazines, newspapers, TV, etc, and increased awareness among customers, the
demand to impart proper training in non-technological areas like customer care and
marketing has increased too.

Rapid technological changes, network security threat, mobile application development,
growing IP deployment in the sector have brought back the training and development in
the priority catalog.

To produce a reliable questionnaire both primary and secondary information was used.
Primary data is the first hand information; the questionnaire was prepared by me under
the guidance of the mentor wherein I used likert five-point scale and closed ended
questions for measuring attitudes of the employees for my study.

The questionnaire comprised 12 questions which covered all the aspects of measuring
“the effectiveness of training and development”.

PRIMARY DATA
An instrument is used to collect the required information from the employees and also
interact the employees personally.

Primary data helps us in making observation of employee’s behaviors, talk gestures
which helped me in identifying any the attitude of employees towards the training
program and the effectiveness of the training program in the organization.



SECONDARY DATA
It was collected from the website of the company, and the compaby personnel, certain
reports from the HR department. The research also took the help of the books and
journal.

Both primary and secondary data served the purpose in measuring the effectiveness of

Theoretical aspects of Training and Development

It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills,
concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviours to enhance the performance of
employees.

Training is an organized procedure which brings about semi-permanent changes in
behavior, for a definite purpose. The three main areas involved are skills, knowledge and
attitudes (sometimes called social skills) but always with a definite purpose in mind.

Training also helps a person cultivate appropriate and desired behavior and attitude
towards the work and people.
Training is a process through which a person enhances and develops his efficiency,
capacity and effectiveness at work by improving and updating his knowledge and
understanding the relevant skills relevant to his or her job.
Unless training is provided, the jobs and lives of employees in organizations are at stake.

Training is activity leading to skilled behavior.



• It’s not what you want in life, but it’s knowing how to reach it

• It’s not where you want to go, but it’s knowing how to get there

• It’s not how high you want to rise, but it’s knowing how to take off

• It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an outcome

• It’s not what you dream of doing, but it’s having the knowledge to do it

• It's not a set of goals, but it’s more like a vision

• It’s not the goal you set, but it’s 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 about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through
professional development.

OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING:
 Preparing both the old & new employees to meet the present as well
as the changing requirements of the job & the organization.
 Preventing obsolescence.
 Preparing employees for the higher-level tasks.

CLASSIFICATION OF TRAINING:

There are a number of training methods available; Use of a particular method
depends on the type of trainees viz. worker, supervisor and manager. Basically these
methods can be classified into following categories:
1.Induction training:
Here, training is given to newly joined employees. The main objective of this
training is to give an idea to the employee about the particular work. It is concerned with
orienting a new employee to a new environment.
2.On-the-job training:

Here, the individual is placed on a regular job and taught the skills necessary to
perform that job. The trainee learns under the supervision and guidance of a qualified
worker or instructor. It gives first hand knowledge and experience under the actual
working conditions.



3.Apprenticeship training:

Apprenticeship training is normally given to artisans, electricians, plumbers and a
like. The duration is mainly 6 months to 2 years; this is carried out under the guidance
and intimate supervision of master craftsman, expert worker and supervisor. During
training period the trainee is paid less than that of a qualified worker.

4.Job Rotation:

This involves the movement of the trainee from one job to another. The trainee
receives job knowledge and gains experience from his supervisor or trainer in each of the

different job assignments. This method gives an opportunity to the trainee to
understand the problems of employees on other jobs.
5.Coaching:

The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coach in
training the individuals. The supervisor provides feedback to the trainee on his
performance and offers him some suggestions for improvements. But the trainee may not
have the freedom or opportunity to express his own ideas.
6.Job Instruction:

This method is also known as training through step by step. The trainer explains
to the trainee the way of doing the jobs, job knowledge and skills and allows him to do
the job. The trainer appraises the performance of the trainee, provides feedback
information and corrects the trainee.
7.Committee Assignments:

A group of trainees are given and asked to solve an actual organizational problem.
The trainees solve the problem jointly. It develops teamwork.
8.Off the job training:

The trainee is separated from the job situation and his attention is focused upon
learning the material related to his future job performance. Since the trainee is not
distracted by job requirements, he can place his entire concentration on learning the job



rather than spending his time in performing it. There is an opportunity for freedom of
expression for the trainees.
9.Vestibule training:

Actual work conditions are simulated in the classroom. Material, files and
equipments, which are used in actual job performance, are also used in training. This
type of training is commonly used for training personal for clerical and semi-skilled jobs.
Theory can be related to practice in this method.

10.Role-playing:

It is a method of human interactions that involves realistic behavior in imaginary
situations. This method of training involves certain characters. This method is mostly
used for developing inter-personal interactions and relations.
11.Lecture Method:

The instructor organizes the material and gives it to a group of trainees in the
form of a talk. To be effective, the lecture must motivate and create interest among the
trainees. This method is direct and can be used for a large group of trainees. Costs and
time involved are reduced.
12.Conference or discussion:

This method involves a group of people who pose ideas, examine and share facts,
ideas and data, test assumptions and draw conclusions, which contribute to the
improvement of job performance.
13.Programmed instruction:

The subject matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned
sequential units. These units are arranged from simple to more complex levels of
instruction. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions or filling the
blanks.



14.Internship Training:
Here, the organization makes arrangements with technical institutes to get its
employees duly trained in the latest theoretical knowledge and other developments
relating to trade, this training is provided to the employee in such a way as to bring
balance between theory and practice.

15.Professional skill training:

Here, training is given to Professional staff such as Accountants, Surveyors,
Auditors, and Architects etc. Organization provides this training to newly joined
professionals to gain the professional qualification and it is also given to the existing
professionals.

HOW TO MAKE TRAINING EFFECTIVE:

 Determine the training needs through job description, performance appraisal,
potential appraisal and discussion with employees.

 Prepare a training calendar in discussion with the managers concerned.

 Define the training objectives specifically.

 Select the efficient faculty

FACTORS INFLUENCING TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:

 Top management support
 Commitment from specialists and generalists
 Technological advances
 Organizational complexity



 Learning principles

Difference between Training and Development

organization. people skills, time management, etc.
4. Usually, administrative, supervisory
and technical workforce may be

Models of Training and Development

Training is a sub-system of the organization because the departments such as, marketing
& sales, HR, production, finance, etc depends on training for its survival. Training is a
transforming process that requires some input and in turn it produces output in the form
of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs).

THE TRAINING SYSTEM

A System is a combination of things or parts that must work together to perform a



particular function. An organization is a system and training is a sub system of the
organization. The System Approach views training as a sub system of an organization.
System Approach can be used to examine broad issues like objectives, functions, and
aim. It establishes a logical relationship between the sequential stages in the process of
training need analysis (TNA), formulating, delivering, and evaluating. There are 4
necessary inputs i.e. technology, man, material, time required in every system to produce
products or services. And every system must have some output from these inputs in order
to survive. The output can be tangible or intangible depending upon the organization’s
requirement. A system approach to training is planned creation of training program. This
approach uses step-by-step procedures to solve the problems. Under systematic approach,
training is undertaken on planned basis. Out of this planned effort, one such basic model
of five steps is system model that is explained below. Organization are working in open
environment i.e. there are some internal and external forces, that poses threats and
opportunities, therefore, trainers need to be aware of these forces which may impact on
the content, form, and conduct of the training efforts. The internal forces are the various
demands of the organization for a better learning environment; need to be up to date with
the latest technologies.

The three model of training are:

1.System Model

2.Instructional System Development Model

3. Transitional model

SYSTEM MODEL



The system model consists of five phases and should be repeated on a regular basis to
make further improvements. The training should achieve the purpose of helping
employee to perform their work to required standards. The steps involved in System
Model of training are as follows:

1. Analyze and identify the training needs i.e. to analyze the department, job, employees
requirement, who needs training, what do they need to learn, estimating training cost, etc
The next step is to develop a performance measure on the basis of which actual
performance would be evaluated.

2. Design and provide training to meet identified needs. This step requires developing
objectives of training, identifying the learning steps, sequencing and structuring the
contents.

Instructional System Development Model (ISD) Model

Instructional System Development model was made to answer the training problems.
This model is widely used now-a-days in the organization because it is concerned with
the training need on the job performance. Training objectives are defined on the basis of
job responsibilities and job description and on the basis of the defined objectives
individual progress is measured. This model also helps in determining and developing the
favorable strategies, sequencing the content, and delivering media for the types of
training objectives to be achieved.

The Instructional System Development model comprises of five stages:

1. ANALYSIS – This phase consist of training need assessment, job analysis, and target
audience analysis.



2. PLANNING – This phase consist of setting goal of the learning outcome, instructional
objectives that measures behavior of a participant after the training, types of training
material, media selection, methods of evaluating the trainee, trainer and the training
program, strategies to impart knowledge i.e. selection of content, sequencing of content,
etc.

3. DEVELOPMENT – This phase translates design decisions into training material. It
consists of developing course material for the trainer including handouts, workbooks,
visual aids, demonstration props, etc, course material for the trainee including handouts
of summary.

4. EXECUTION – This phase focuses on logistical arrangements, such as arranging
speakers, equipments, benches, podium, food facilities, cooling, lighting, parking, and
other training accessories.

5. EVALUATION – The purpose of this phase is to make sure that the training program
has achieved its aim in terms of subsequent work performance. This phase consists of
identifying strengths and weaknesses and making necessary amendments to any of the
previous stage in order to remedy or improve failure practices.

The ISD model is a continuous process that lasts throughout the training program. It also
highlights that feedback is an important phase throughout the entire training program. In
this model, the output of one phase is an input to the next phase.

Transitional Model

Transitional model focuses on the organization as a whole. The outer loop describes the
vision, mission and values of the organization on the basis of which training model i.e.
inner loop is executed.



Vision – focuses on the milestones that the organization would like to achieve after the
defined point of time. A vision statement tells that where the organization sees itself few
years down the line. A vision may include setting a role mode, or bringing some internal
transformation, or may be promising to meet some other deadlines.

Mission – explain the reason of organizational existence. It identifies the position in the
community. The reason of developing a mission statement is to motivate, inspire, and
inform the employees regarding the organization. The mission statement tells about the
identity that how the organization would like to be viewed by the customers, employees,
and all other stakeholders.

Values – is the translation of vision and mission into communicable ideals. It reflects the
deeply held values of the organization and is independent of current industry
environment. For example, values may include social responsibility, excellent customer
service, etc.

The mission, vision, and values precede the objective in the inner loop. This model
considers the organization as a whole. The objective is formulated keeping these three
things in mind and then the training model is further implemented.

TYPICAL REASONS FOR EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND
DEVELOPMENT

Training and development can be initiated for a variety of reasons for an employee or
group of employees, e.g.,:

• When a performance appraisal indicates performance improvement is needed
• To "benchmark" the status of improvement so far in a performance improvement
effort
• As part of an overall professional development program



• As part of succession planning to help an employee be eligible for a planned
change in role in the organization
• To "pilot", or test, the operation of a new performance management system
• To train about a specific topic.

TYPICAL TOPICS OF EMPLOYEE TRAINING

1. Communications: The increasing diversity of today's workforce brings a wide
variety of languages and customs.
2. Computer skills: Computer skills are becoming a necessity for conducting
administrative and office tasks.
3. Customer service: Increased competition in today's global marketplace makes it
critical that employees understand and meet the needs of customers.
4. Diversity: Diversity training usually includes explanation about how people have
different perspectives and views, and includes techniques to value diversity
5. Ethics: Today's society has increasing expectations about corporate social
responsibility. Also, today's diverse workforce brings a wide variety of values and
morals to the workplace.
6. Human relations: The increased stresses of today's workplace can include
misunderstandings and conflict. Training can people to get along in the
workplace.
7. Quality initiatives: Initiatives such as Total Quality Management, Quality
Circles, benchmarking, etc., require basic training about quality concepts,
guidelines and standards for quality, etc.
8. Safety: Safety training is critical where working with heavy equipment ,
hazardous chemicals, repetitive activities, etc., but can also be useful with
practical advice for avoiding assaults, etc.



9. Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment training usually includes careful
description of the organization's policies about sexual harassment, especially
about what are inappropriate behaviors.

GENERAL BENEFITS FROM EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND
DEVELOPMENT

There are numerous sources of online information about training and development.
Several of these sites (they're listed later on in this library) suggest reasons for
supervisors to conduct training among employees. These reasons include:

• Increased job satisfaction and morale among employees
• Increased employee motivation
• Increased efficiencies in processes, resulting in financial gain
• Increased capacity to adopt new technologies and methods
• Increased innovation in strategies and products
• Reduced employee turnover
• Enhanced company image, e.g., conducting ethics training (not a good reason for
ethics training!)
• Risk management, e.g., training about sexual harassment, diversity.



THE PROCESS OF TRAININ AND DEVELOPMENT



INDUSTRY PROFILE



Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (known as BSNL, India Communications Corporation
Limited) is a public sector communications company in India. It is the largest
telecommunication company in India and the sixth largest in the world[citation needed]. Its
headquarters are at Bharat Sanchar Bhawan, Harish Chandra Mathur Lane, Janpath, New
Delhi. It has the status of Mini-ratana - a status assigned to reputed Public Sector
companies in India.

BSNL is India's oldest and largest Communication Service Provider (CSP). Currently
BSNL has a customer base of 65.3 million (Basic & Mobile telephony). It has footprints
throughout India except for the metropolitan cities of Mumbai and New Delhi which are
managed by MTNL. As on July 31, 2007 BSNL commanded a customer base of 32.7
million Wireline, 3.7 million CDMA-WLL and 28.9 million GSM Mobile subscribers.
BSNL's earnings for the Financial Year ending March 31, 2007 stood at INR 397.15b
(US$ 9.67 b) with net profit of INR 78.06b (US$ 1.90 billion). Today, BSNL is India's
largest Telco and one of the largest Public Sector Undertaking of the country with
authorized share capital of US$ 4.26 billion (INR 17,500 Crores) and assets of US$ 14.74
billion.

The foundation of Telecom Network in India was laid by the British sometime in 19th
century. The history of BSNL is linked with the beginning of Telecom in India. In 19th
century and for almost entire 20th century, the Telecom in India was operated as a
Government of India wing. Earlier it was part of erstwhile Post & Telegraph Department
(P&T). In 1975 the Department of Telecom (DoT) was separated from P&T. DoT was



responsible for running of Telecom services in entire country until 1985 when Mahanagar
Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) was carved out of DoT to run the telecom services of
Delhi and Mumbai. It is a well known fact that BSNL was carved out of Department of
Telecom to provide level playing field to private telecoms.Subsequently in 1990s the
telecom sector was opened up by the Government for Private investment, therefore it
became necessary to separate the Government's policy wing from Operations wing. The
Government of India corporatised the operations wing of DoT on October 01, 2000 and
named it as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).BSNL operates as a public sector.

Employment at BSNL
BSNL's employee base comprises of more than 3,57,000 telecom engineers and
professionals.

BSNL's Work Culture
Teamwork, leadership, motivation, etc. are the management principles followed at
BSNL. The entire staff is divided in four groups.

Board of Directors
BOD of BSNL consists of 6 members.

CHALLENGES

During Financial Year 2006-2007 (From April 01, 2006 to March 31, 2007) BSNL has
added 9.6 million new customers in various telephone services taking its customer base to
64.8 million. BSNL's nearest competitor Bharti Airtel is standing at a customer base of
39 million. However, despite impressive growth shown by BSNL in recent times, the
Fixed line customer base of BSNL is declining. In order to woo back its fixed-line
customers BSNL has brought down long distance calling rate under OneIndia plan,
however, the success of the scheme is not known. However, BSNL faces bleak fiscal
2006-2007 as users flee, which has been accepted by the CMD BSNL.

Presently there is an intense competition in Indian Telecom sector and various Telcos are
rolling out attractive schemes and are providing good customer services. However, BSNL
being legacy operator and its conversion from a Government Department, earns lot of
criticism for its poor customer service. Although in recent past there have been
tremendous improvement in working of BSNL but still it is much below the Industry's
Expectations. A large aging (average age 49 years(appx)) workforce (300,000 strong),
which is mostly semi-illetrate or illeterate is the main reason for the poor customer
service. Further, the Top management of BSNL is still working in BSNL on deputation
basis holding Government employee status thus having little commitment to the
organisation. Although in coming years the retirement profile of the workforce is very
fast and around 25% of existing workforce will retire by 2010, however, still the
workforce will be quite large by the industry standards. Quality of the workforce will also
remain an issue.



Access Deficit Charges (ADC, a levy being paid by the private operators to BSNL for
provide service in non-lucarative areas especially rural areas) has been slashed by 37%
by TRAI, w.e.f. April 01, 2007.The reduction in ADC may hit the bottomlines of BSNL.



BSNL is in the process of commissioning of a world class, multi-gigabit, multi-protocol,
convergent IP infrastructure through National Internet Backbone-II (NIB-II), that will
provide convergent services through the same backbone and broadband access network.
The Broadband service will be available on DSL technology (on the same copper cable
that is used for connecting telephone), on a countrywide basis spanning 198 cities.

In terms of infrastructure for broadband services NIB-II would put India at par with more
advanced nations. The services that would be supported includes always-on broadband
access to the Internet for residential and business customers, Content based services,
Video multicasting, Video-on-demand and Interactive gaming, Audio and Video
conferencing, IP Telephony, Distance learning, Messaging: plain and feature rich, Multi-
site MPLS VPNs with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. The subscribe will be able to
access the above services through Subscriber Service Selection System (SSSS) portal.

Key Objectives

To provide high speed Internet connectivity (upto 8 Mbps)

• To provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) service to the broadband
customers
• To provide dial VPN service to MPLS VPN customers.
• To provide multicast video services, video-on-demand, etc. through the
Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS).
• To provide a means to bill for the aforesaid services by either time-based or
volume-based billing. It shall provide the customer with the option to select the
services through web server
• To provide both pre-paid and post paid broadband services



Technical Capability of the Backbone

The Broadband Service will be given through the state of the art Multi Protocol
Label Switching (MPLS) based IP Infrastructure, which is designed to provide reliable
routes to cover all possible destinations within and outside the country. Layer 1 of the
network will consist of a high speed Backbone comprising of 24 powerful Core Routers
connected with high speed 2.5 Gbps(STM-16) links. The routers are located on the
national DWDM network interfacing at STM-16 optical level to provide for high
transmission speeds.

Advantage of MPLS over other Technologies
MPLS VPN is a technology that allows a service provider like BSNL to have
complete control over parameters that are critical to offering its customers service
guarantees with regard to bandwidth throughputs, latencies and availability.

Services available through Broadband

• High speed Internet Access: This is the always-on Internet access service with
speed ranging from 256 kbps to 8 Mbps.
• Bandwidth on Demand: This will facilitate customer to change bandwidth as per
his / her requirement. For example a customer with 256 kbps can change to 1
Mbps during the video Conferencing session.
• Multicasting: This is to provide video multicast services for application in
distance education, telemedicine etc
• Dial VPN Service: This service allows remote users to access their private
network securely over the NIB-II infrastructure.
• Video and Audio Conferencing:
• Content based Services: Like Video on Demand, Interactive Gaming, Live and
time shifted TV

*. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).

Interpretation: the correlation test is used to link one factor with all the other factors in
order to know which the most significant factor and which factor is most positively


correlated to each other. and helps us to decide on the factors which are important in
designing the training program
Pearson correlation was effective for my study as the study made use of the nominal
scale in the questionnaire.

in the above correlation table the point at which the row and column intersects and
there is an star mark, that factor is the most significant factor. if there is one star sign that
factor is positively correlated at 0.01 level of significance and when there is 2 star marks
that factor is positively correlated at 0.05 level of significance.

This table gives us the clear idea about the important factors that are essential for
effective training and development programs. when the rows and columns intersect and it
has a negative sign those factors cannot be correlated at all or those factors are not at all
significant.

Therefore we can clearly make out from the above table the significant and not so
significant factors in the correlation table.
