Current Training and Development
Practices, National Perspective
World bank has given a warning signal that by the turn of
this century India will have nearly three fourth of worlds
illiterate population. We have to convert this human
resource as an asset through formal, informal and non
formal education involving training and retraining.
On analysis of the present day training programs in the
country are quite inadequate. Public sectors have training
programs with employee development approach whereas
private sectors have only development of the organization
in mind.
Though most of the Public Sectors have taken up HRD in a
big way but so far private sectors have been having half

The essence of training is to meet the future
requirement of the organization where as development
helps the individual to handle future responsibilities
other than the concerns of the present job.
The concept of HRD is already established in
successful organizations in the form of HR planning,
recruitment and selection, training and development
personnel and administrative policies, planning and
implementation , career counseling, industrial relation
etc. These are managed by the professionals in HR
from a holistic viewpoint, throwing up creative
solutions which were previously not thought of.
Todays tragic truth is the rapid rate of obsolescence of
skills. Thus retraining and development of millions of
workers for alternative careers is a crucial area.

HRD in Public Sectors
Public sectors contribute most to the national economy so
they need to improve their efficiency.
The reward and promotional system based on time bound
scale rather than merit basis defeats the basic concept of
HRD process in these sectors.
Though there are a number of central and state level
institutions conducting HRD programs for civil
administrative and public sector organizations but much
more is yet to be done.
HRD can be hall mark of public sector automatically
improving the quality of work and productivity if the
objectives are clearly defined and goals are achieved.

Nonaka & Takeuchi (1995) addressed the issue of tacit vs coded
knowledge and raised the importance We Learn A

Welingkars Distance Learning

They observed tacit knowledge as experiential, practical and
simultaneous and therefore subjective compared to
objective explicit or coded knowledge.
Complementary relations between two types of knowledge
exists and a model of knowledge conversion is based on
social interaction between tacit and coded knowledge.
Nonaka& Takeuchi postulated four different models of
knowledge conversion.:
1.Socialization: Where experiences create knowledge.
2.Externalization: A process of articulating tacit knowledge
to explicit concepts. Typically concept creation is triggered by
dialogue or collective reflection.
3.Combination: A process of systemizing concepts into
knowledge system. Individuals exchange and combine
knowledge through documents, meetings etc. by way of
sorting, categorizing etc. Leading to new knowledge. This takes
place in formal education and training.
