Renusagar power division an associate of Hindalco industries limited one of the biggest
Companies in ―The Aditya Birla group‖. Renusagar power division was conceived as the
captive power plant of Hindalco Industries Limited in 1964. The first power generating units
of 67.5 MW each were commissioned in the year 1967-68. The coal- based thermal power
plant presently has a capacity of 742 MW with 10 turbo- generator sets and 11 steam
generators (boilers). It generates around 6111 Million Units. Renusagar is situated at about 35
km from Renukoot in Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh, on the bank of Rihand Lake. The
geographical location is 24◦ 10‘ N to 24◦ 12‘N and 82 46‘ E to 82 48‘ E. the site is located at

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Winning smiles…touching hearts
Long before corporate social responsibility found a place in the corporate lexicon, it was

32
already textured into the Group's value system. As early as the 1940s, the late Mr. G.D. Birla
espoused the trusteeship concept of management — investing a portion of the company's
profits for the larger good of society. The late Mr. Aditya Birla went beyond chequebook
philanthropy when he brought in the concept of 'sustainable livelihood'.

For over 50 years, Hindalco has worked in the

hinterlands of India to better the quality of life of
the underprivileged sections of society.
Today, they reach out to millions of people in the
villages, of whom more than 60 per cent live
below the poverty line. Their needs include:
access to water, agriculture and sustainable
livelihood, healthcare, and education. These four
areas form the focus of our efforts. The company
also works to bring about social reform through
widow re-marriage and dowerless marriages.
They work in partnership with government agencies and the beneficiaries to provide these
necessities and encourage social reform.

 PERFORMANCE

As the aluminum smelters need continuous and steady power supply, high plant availability
and operation at rated capacity is of paramount importance for RENUSAGAR POWER
PLANT. Renusagar has achieved high plant availability factor (PAF) and plant load factor
(PLF) of around 95% and more consistently for over two decades (against the national
average of 55%) right from its inception. It has dispelled the misconception that such a high
PAF and PLF can‘t be achieved by the thermal power plant, using low grade coals.

CONTRIBUTION IN THE FIELD OF POWER SECTOR

It is to the credit of RENUSAGAR POWER that despite the fact it uses high ash (35%) and
abrasive natural coal, high PAF and high PLF have been achieved by it consistently.
Modification in the ID fans, Dust Collectors and indigenous methodology of prolonging the
life of pressure part tubes, was a trend setter. Its result oriented approach to bring down tube
leakage to less than one per boiler per annum, has worldwide acclaim. RENUSAGAR
POWER DIVISION is an acknowledged leader of thermal power plant. It adopted modern
management techniques for initial stages itself and was able to limit its planned overhaul
duration by resorting to PERT.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

Renupower is conscious of energy conservation and has made concentrated efforts to reduce
and limit its auxiliary power and oil consumption. It is remarkable that the average oil
consumption per unit generated has been maintained at less than 0.8 ml per KWH (against the
national average of about 11 KWH for its size of units).

ENVIRONMENT AND POLLUTION CONTROL

36
At Renusagar, all the boilers have electro-static precipitators (ESP). the stack emission are
closely monitored and controlled well below the permissible limits. Renusagar Power is
known for its environment friendly plans. The vast greenery in the complex simply conveys
its culture. There is an Environment Cell, which is properly functioning under the guidance of
P & IR department for proper monitoring.

PRESPECTIVE OF
TRAINING &
DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION

45
 Every organisation needs to have well-trained and very experienced people to perform the
activities that have to be done. If the current or potential job occupant can meet this
requirement, then also training is important for any oranzation.

Empoyee‘s traning is the pricess where learn the skill‘s , knowledge, attitude and
behaviour necessary to perform the job effectively. A newly employed person is introduced
to his department, its relation to other departent, its place in the whole organization, the
organization‘s objective, philosophy and practices. Training is required at every assignment to
an other one of different nature. As the job has become more and more complex, the
importance of employees training has increased. When jobs were easy to learn, simple and
influenced to only a small degree by technological changes, there was little need for the
employee‘s to upgrade or alter their skills.

The management development on the other hand is designed to over all effectiveness of
manager to their present position and them to preapair for greater responsibility when they are
promoted. Management development has become more prevalent in recent year because of
increasingly complex demand, being made on manager and training the manager only through
experience is a time consuming and unreliable process . Training is linked with
performance appraisal career development. Employees are trained on jobs are through house
training programs. For some employees including manager outside training may be utilized to
enhance, upgrade or develop specific skills. Thus it can be concluded that training and
devopment is an essential tool in human resource development. A society is facing a rapid rate
of technological social changes, so management need to be developed as they have to tackle
problem arising out of automation intense market competition growth of new market, enlarge
labour participation in management and greatest interest taken by the public government in
various activities of business.

The participants also have opportunity to improve their knowledge base by learning the
theme related to concept and building their skills and attitudes through various practical
exercise. Besides above the small group exercises, Role-play, interface/ panel dicussion also
promote participant culture and break the psychological barriers.

Some programs have a common methodology like knowledge sharing, group discussion
and presentation etc., however a judicious mix of Lecture/ Discussion/ Case studies/ Role
play/ Business game etc. is used to make absorption learning spontaneous and instant.

 TRAINING

ON- THE- JOB OFF- THE- JOB

TRAINING TRAINING

a) Job Rotation a) Lecture & Case Studies

b) Apprenticeship b) Conference & Seminar

ON THE JOB TRAINING:

a) Job Rotation
Job rotation is an organization strategy that has been advocacy to prevent the development of
work-related musculoskeletal injuries after engineering controls have failed to reduce
musculoskeletal stress. Included in the recommendation of the use of job rotation is usually
the qualification that the jobs must be dissimilar. The goal is to "dilute" the exposure of the
worker to injurious movements.
It is a movement between different jobs. This avoids employee becoming bored with job and
help them in learning new skills. It has number of positive impacts as well as negative impacts
on employees as well as organisation. Multi skilled employee may be good in one
organisation but may not be at all suitable with precision/ speciality based organisation.

b) Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a system of training a new generation of practitioners of a skill. Most of
the training is done on the job while working for an employer who helps the apprentices learn
their trade, in exchange for their continuing labor for an agreed period after they become
skilled. Theoretical education may also be involved, informally via the workplace and/or by
attending vocational schools while still being paid by the employer.
During the programme it is not allowed to assign the apprentice to a regularly employment
and he is well protected from abrupt dismissal until the programme ends. The defined content
and skill set of the apprentice profession must be fully provided and taught by the employer.
The time taken is also regulated. Each profession takes a different time, usually between 24
and 36 months.

OFF-THE JOB TRAINING:

a) Lecture & Case Studies

56
Lectures present training material verbally and are used when the goal is to present a great
deal of material to many people. Lecturing is one-way communication and as such may not be
the most effective way to train. Also, it is hard to ensure from the trainer‘s side that the entire
trainees understand a topic on the same level. It is the most cost-effective way of reaching
large trainees. The main attraction of lecturing as a training method is its deceptive simplicity
and the control over the session it purportedly yields to trainers. The simplicity of lecturing is
deceptive, first and foremost, because what lecturers say is not directly related to what
listeners learn. This relation, as we have seen, is anything but neat. The very qualities of a
good lecture threaten its value as a training method. The more complete and logically
consistent the argument, the more erudite its deviation, and more appealing its delivery, more
it tends to be ―bought‖ as the final answer. It is effective at that stage of the learning process
which seeks to increase intellectual understanding.
Case study is a description of a real or imagined situation which contains information that
trainees can use to analyze what has occurred and why. The trainees recommend solutions
based on the content provided. It can present a real-life situation which lets trainees consider
what they would do. It can present a wide variety of skills in which applying knowledge is
important. One purpose of case study is to multiply, well beyond what they would meet in
their day-to-day work, situations and problems participants can be exposed to during training.
Another is to present each sample of real life in slow motion, so that through its detailed study
trainees can learn the most from the data offered. The communication should be clear. The
third purpose of case method is to help trainees to develop the habit of taking more factors
into account than usually done, to analyze them carefully, and to put them together in an
integrated picture for guiding understanding and action.

b) Conference & Seminar

Conference is a group composed usually of 2 to 50 persons who represents different

organizations, departments, or points of view but who have some common interest or
background. They gather information and discuss mutual problem, with a reasonable solution
as the desired end. Problem identification and solution is often the basic objective of
conference.

Seminar is a group of person gathered together for the purpose of studying a subject under the
leadership of an expert or learned person. Often the procedure followed is to identify the
problem, explore the problem, discuss or lay out necessary research involved in the solution
of the problem, conduct the research, share the findings with others in the group, and reach a
conclusion on the basis of the research.

Workshop is a group of person with a common interest or problem, often professional or

vocational, who meet for an extended period of time to improve their individual proficiency,

57
ability, or understanding by means of study, research and discussion. The workshop allows
considerable flexibility, and the emphasis is on improving individual proficiency and
understanding. Theory and practices are often treated concurrently. The learner is encouraged
to work out a program of personal study and receives help with this program from the other
participants and resources people.

LEARNING PROCESSES FOR ALL

In Addition to these, some other Learning Processes are –

1) Induction Orientation Level Training (IOLT)

2) Talent Management (TM)
3) Mentoring
4) E- Learning
5) Quality Circles (QC)
6) Learning System & Coaching (LSC)
7) Mock Drill
8) Benchmarking Visit
9) Talent Retention (TR)

1) Induction Orientation Level Training

Induction Orientation Training is a type of training given as an initial preparation upon taking
up a post. Its goal is to help new employees reach the level of performance expected from an
experienced worker. It often contains information dealing with the layout of the firm's
operating facility, health and safety measures and security systems.

In Hindalco, Induction Orientation Level Training is conducted to new Graduated

Engineering Trainees(GETs), Diploma Engineering Trainees (DETs), MBAs and MCAs to
acquaint them with plant, equipment, organization structure and more importantly to make
them aware about organization culture & values. 1 year schedule is for GETs and 1and1/2
year for DETs. The training schedule includes 3 months classroom training include plant visit,
group discussion, assignment & video based session on all topics related to Technical,
Mechanical & Supportive areas. After completing 3 months classroom training the trainees
are placed on the job training & assigned with a Mentor, who guides and monitor the progress
of trainees. The Training centre monitors the development of trainee through the mentor by
getting information‘s getting from him.

58
The main objective of this program is to learn best practices from other units and implement it
in their respective areas.
The methodology for this IOLT Program is -

 First of all Needs Survey for Inter-unit visit is done.

 After receiving the need, projects are finalized alongwith the list of persons who will
be sent for Inter-unit visit to learn the best practices.

 Data is collected by the team on existing level of performance and System being
followed at Renusagar.

 The team visits the partner unit and compare the performance level and studies their
processes to find out the practices responsible for superior performance.

 The team prepares on action plan to implement the best practices and improve our
performance to reach the benchmark level.

 The Action Plan is monitored.

2) Talent Management

Talent management refers to the process of developing and nurturing leadership pipeline of
the organization.
Talent Management is an approach to attract, develop and retain people with the:
 Aptitude and abilities to meet current and future organizational needs.
 It involves individual and organizational development in response to a changing and
complex operating environment.
We have a structured methodology to identify talent and groom them. Based on performance
and supervisor‘s assessment of individual‘s potential, executives are selected to undergo
comprehensive assessment and development centre, which is conducted by Eicher Consultants
and Hewitt. Detailed profile of the executive is prepared, feedback on his strengths and
weaknesses are given. Based on individual‘s profile and matching with competency required
at different levels of respective career Stages, the executive are placed in either of the
leadership/ managerial/support talent pool.

To develop Leadership in Pipeline, there are two criteria-

1. Employee Performance Rating
2. Employee Potential Rating

59
For making a rating scale of an employee‘s performance, there is a 9 Box Matrix Performance
Rating.

A- HIGH POTENTIAL- In this type of performance rating an employee can move up to

4 job bands for next 7 to 8 years.
B- MEDIUM POTENTIAL- In this type of performance rating an employee can move
up to 2 job bands for next 5 to 6 years.
C- LOW POTENTIAL- In this type of performance rating an employee will retain on
their same job.

1. LOW PERFORMANCE- If an individual rating Below Expectation (BE) or Far

Below Expectation (FBE).

2. MEDIUM PERFORMANCE- If an individual rating Meet Expectation (ME)

or Exceed Expectation (EE).

3. HIGH PERFORMANCE- If an individual rating Exceed Expectation (EE) or

Far Exceed Expectation (FEE).

For understanding the concept of Employee’s Performance Rating,

here is a nine box matrix-

The individual development plan (IDP) is prepared, which details training courses as
well assignment to be given to the Individual for developing identified competencies. It also
encompasses rotation, major cross functional team projects and role amalgamations. Progress
on IDPs is monitored by Functional Head, HR head and Unit Head.
In summary there are many benefits of taking on the complicated multi-layered
project of creating an integrated talent management and workforce planning structure.

 Predictability of performance
 Higher customer satisfaction rates
 Lower employee turn-over
 Increased profits as a result of right people/right time
 Increased revenue as a result of efficiencies
 Increased employee engagement

3) Mentoring
Mentorship is an informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial
support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development;
mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period

62
of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or
experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less.
In Hindalco, Mentoring is practicing for smooth induction of new employees into the
organization and their overall development.
After completion of 3-month induction and orientation level training, new employees are put
for on-the-job-training. During on-the-job training and after completing it they are assigned to
a Mentor, who guides them in their day-to-day clarifications and facilitate their learning.
Mentors monthly sends the progress report of mentees to be reviewed by the training centre.
Presently we have 22 experienced Mentors, who support this exercise-
The main objective is to discover and develop the Mentee‘s latent abilities and thereby
empower the Mentees. The process also aims at helping the Mentee to fit into organization
culture.

Who is a Mentoree: New Employee

Who is a Mentor: An experienced and successful professional/manager with a mindset to help
someone who is willing to invest in others.
Selection of Mentor: Jt. President (Power) appoints Mentors with -
 Good Soft skills
 Great Values
 Willingness to help young protégés.

In the earlier system Mentors used to be senior executives from the same department. In the
revised system Mentor will be Cross-Functional.

Period of Mentoring: Two years from date of joining.

Role of a Mentor: Role of the Mentor is primarily:

 To infuse Group‘s Values in the protégé.
 To help the Mentee gel smoothly in the organizational culture.
 To develop protégé by making use of his knowledge and experience.
 To develop a pragmatic approach.
 To help the protégé develop good communication & inter personal skills.
 To help the protégé overcome emotional lows.
 To keep track of Mentee‘s professional development.
The Mentor will send a Quarterly Mentor‘s Report regarding development of the Mentee to
TTMDC.
Role of a Mentee: Mentee will meet his Mentor (at least twice in a month) and Guide
regularly to discuss issues and seek clarifications. The Mentee will send a monthly Mentee‘s
Report to TTMDC. (Annexure III)

Role of Mentoring Coordinator: The mentoring coordinator will compile/analyze the

reports, monitor progress of the Mentee and give feedback to the concerned HOD and HR

63
Head, if required. His role is to create opportunity for informal interaction among Mentors
and Mentees. He will be in close touch with Mentors to monitor the progress & development
of Mentees.
Mentoring Process
1. A minimum of two monthly meeting of the Mentor & the Mentee.
2. Mentor, Guide & Mentee shall submit progress reports to TTMDC.
3. Quarterly informal get together.
4. Monthly progress report to be submitted to Unit Head & HR Head.

4) E-Learning

E-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to learn. E-learning

applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual
classrooms and digital collaboration.

65
As the letter ―e‖ in e-learning stands for the word ―electronic‖, e-learning would incorporate
all educational activities that are carried out by individuals or groups working online or
offline, and synchronously or asynchronously via networked or standalone computers and
other electronic devices.
In Hindalco, E-learning initiative started in June 2002, has been extremely successful in
imparting quality training at the learner's convenience, on his/her computer, and at his/her
pace. A chat-based virtual class gives the learner an opportunity to interact with experts and
share experiences with colleagues, while online databases allow access to a host of learning
materials such as presentations, articles and training guides.
To increase the learner comfort we have e-facilitators. It consist of a team of 2 people, one
from HR and one from IT .In the year 2008-09 we achieved the target of 6 courses per user.
Today we have more than 350 Courses Online and a Course Completion rate 107.8% which is
a benchmark.

LEARNING THROUGH WEB PORTAL- RENUGYAN SAGAR:

A web portal of Renusagar has been designed with a motive of Information sharing. It has
been named as RenuGyanSagar.
It consists of various informations relating current plant performance, Policies, experiences of
Plant Personnel, Case Studies etc.

5) Quality circles

Quality Control Circle is a small group to perform voluntarily quality control activities within
the same workshop. This small group carries on continuously as a part of companywide
quality control activities for self development and mutual development and improvement
within the workshop, utilizing quality control techniques with all the members participating.
It is a volunteer group composed of workers (or even students), usually under the leadership
of their supervisor (but they can elect a team leader), who are trained to identify, analyse and
solve work-related problems and present their solutions to management in order to improve
the performance of the organization, and motivate and enrich the work of employees. It has
emerged as a mechanism to develop and utilize the tremendous potential of people for
improvement in product quality and productivity.
The concept of Quality Circle is primarily based upon recognition of the value of the worker
as a human being, as someone who willingly activates on his job, his wisdom, intelligence,

67
experience, attitude and feelings. It is based upon the human resource management considered
as one of the key factors in the improvement of product quality & productivity.
Quality Circle concept has three major attributes:
 Quality Circle is a form of participation management.
 Quality Circle is a human resource development technique.
 Quality Circle is a problem solving technique.

QC CIRCLE ACTIVITIES AIM TO:

 Develop members' capabilities and achieve self-actualization,
 Make the workplace more pleasant, vital and satisfying,
 Improve customer satisfaction and contribute to society.

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF QUALITY CIRCLE ACTIVITIES:

 Fully reveal human capabilities and eventually draw out infinite possibilities.
 Respect humanity and build a pleasant, vital and satisfying workplace.
 Contribute to the improvement and development of the enterprise.

THE OBJECTIVES OF QUALITY CIRCLES ARE MULTI-FACED:

a) Change in Attitude.
 From "I don‘t care" to "I do care"
 Continuous improvement in quality of work life through humanisation of work.

b) Self Development
 Bring out ‗Hidden Potential‘ of people
 People get to learn additional skills.

c) Development of Team Spirit

 Individual Vs Team – "I could not do but we did it"
 Eliminate inter departmental conflicts.

d) Improved Organisational Culture Positive working environment.

 Total involvement of people at all levels.
 Higher motivational level.
 Participative Management process.

from the right person and convey to them.
 He/She should not take credit for he/she but give credit to his/her group
members when the group wins.
 He/she should send a monthly Quality Circle activity report all concerned.

ROLE AND FUNCTIONS OF MEMBERS

Unlike any other concept or form of small group working, the leadership in Quality
Circle is rotatable Today's Members could be tomorrow's Leaders Therefore, it is
essential that each member involves and develops himself/herself to take up leadership
role at a later date As a QC member he or she should:

• Understand why QC group is formed and why one is a member.

• Attend QC meetings regularly.
• Cooperate with the leader and perform roles assigned to him/her efficiently.
• Respect other members and cooperate with them.
• Learn to listen, appreciate, accommodate & assimilate others' viewpoints or opinions.
• Share QC teams' goals and objectives.

6) Learning System & Coaching

Employees are the most valuable resources of an organization. To improve knowledge,

Communication Skill and developing learning culture among employees, we have started a
new initiative i.e. LSC at department level to involve Shop floor employees. The employees,
who have attended either external or internal programme, share his/her learning's among
employees through LSC.
The main objective of LSC is to develop the learning culture among employees at Shop floor
level through LSC (Learning System & Coaching).

Impact of LSC

71
  Skill Index increases.
 More no of internal Trainers developed.
 Communication Skill developed.
 Self Confidence increases.
 Man Power Productivity increases.

As a knowledge sharing and integration initiative, this forum has been instrumental in
developing a culture of knowledge sharing throughout the organization. Employees are
encouraged to share their knowledge at department level through Learning System &
Coaching meetings (LSC). Each department prepares a LSC schedule for the year, planning at
least one LSC session in each month. These schedules are compiled and a list of LSC
meetings to be held during the month is circulated to all departments. The monthly LSC list
enables employees to select topics of their interest, even if it is not from their department and
attend it. No. of LSCs held against the schedule is reviewed every month.
On an average we have 35 - 40 LSCs /Month

 CONCLUSION

Human Resources play a vital role in shaping a healthy and growing

organization. The increasing complexity and problems of managing human
resources places heavy demands on ensuring equal emphasis on all the sub-
systems which play a crucial part in ensuring holistic development of the human
resources. People can gain recognition for skills and knowledge through
achievement of vocationally relevant qualifications. Today for any organization
training should be an integral component of the business activity & good
business sense to train the whole staff. For that, it is important to know about the
main concepts of training & development.
In my project‖ Training & Development‖, I have analyzed the policy, processes
and methodologies of training & development which had been conducted since
long time in Renusagar Power Division, Hindalco Industries limited.
Based on this study at this esteemed organization it can be concluded that human
resource is an organization‘s most valuable asset and, investment in the learning
and development of this precious resource, if they got well equipped training in
the best possible way, they shall definitely help in achieving the bottom line for
the company. The action plan developed by me is based on my careful study
and practical training here at Hindalco, this shall help the organization to
overcome its shortcomings in the training and development process and shall
definitely support the system to grow and maintain its reputation globally.

LIMITATIONS

95
 LIMITATIONS OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Although this organization includes relevant and beneficial training processes

and methodologies in their working schedule, but then also they are not able to
check whether the employees are satisfied with their work or they required
personal development also.
After getting a thorough overview of process & methodologies of training &
development, I found some limitation in that which is as follows:

 Time Constraints
 Since it is a broad topic, therefore, in depth analysis of each & every
aspects of this topic is not possible.
 Training effectiveness response obtain from immediate supervisor is
based on perception of concerned supervisor, actual on the job impact in
terms of increased productivity is not measured.

RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATION

97
Thus to overcome this limitation I created an action plan, with the help of it one can easily
evaluate how much the participant/trainee has grasped and what more efforts are required to
make him/her equally competent and dexterous so that his learning can be well utilized for the
well-being of the organization and the trainee‘s personal development also.

The Action Plan is a document containing two parts. The Former section (Feedback Form) is
to be filled by the trainee and the Latter Section is filled by the HOD of the concerned
department.

The document incorporates various attributes to be filled by the participant after he has
attended the Training Program, So he/ she can mention what he has learned from the program
and how he/ she is going to implement the same and in what span. The form is then forwarded
to the Departmental Heads who observe the trainees work and behaviour over the Time Period
(as mentioned by the trainee in the Feedback Form) and scrutinises him whether he has
accomplished what he has mentioned in the feedback form and as per his/her performance he
is graded at the prescribed scale by the HOD of his department.
