9. OBJECTIVE AND NEED OF THE
STUDY
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
 To know the impact that Information Technology has made on the training
and development at PowerGrid Corporation Of India Limited.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
 To find out whether there is a need of more training at PCIL for the current
employees or not.
 To assess the level of satisfaction the employees have with the current
training.
 To make suggestion and recommendations that may be able to help the
addressed problem identified
NEED OF THE STUDY
 This study was done in order to get to know how much Information
Technology has impacted positively in the training and development as
well as the training need assessment conducted at PCIL.

10. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
 Because of lack of time, many materials could not be gathered in
support of many points discussed. As this research is currently
undertaken with academic work as part of the semester’s activity, the
limited time frame makes it impossible to extensively deal with every
issue associated with this topic.
 The majority of employees are from B-tech background and have prior
knowledge of the software so while doing the research it was not easy
to segregate new users of softwares and computers from the
employees who already knew how to handle computers.
 As questionnaire is self-structured, there are chances of missing some
constraints.
 Finally some of the constraints that might be encountered in the
conduct of the investigation include non- availability of data and
inability of respondents to recall accurate responses.

11. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 Research
 Research Design
 Data Collection Technique
 Primary Data
 Secondary Data
 Population
 Sample Size
 Sampling Technique Method of Data Collection

12. FINDINGS
 82.35% of the employees above the age of 50 says they require more
training related to the computers and online used software.
 60% of the employee are comfortable with using the softwares in which the
male employees were more comfortable as compared to the female
employees, but we cannot decide this being gender specific as the number
of female employees who attempted the questionnaires were less as
compared to the male employees,(28 male and 12 female).
 It also brought the fact that 54% employees of the company wants to get
more training.
 97% of employees say it is easier to use the software and computers to
store data as compared to storing data in a file.
 As the training happens every alternate year it becomes difficult for the
employees at times to use some of the softwares like SAP, ORACLE ERP
etc as not every employee who works on the software have prior
knowledge of the software.
 Maximum number of employees agreed that virtual training is better than
the older methods of training.

13. RECOMMENDATIONS
 As it is not possible to notice each employee’s plea separately, the
researcher recommends that special attention should be given to
employees above the age of 40 as they are the ones who require more
training related to using computer and several softwares as compared to
the new employees.
 PCIL should actually start giving training to the employees every year
rather than alternate year as it will be more feasible and convenient for the
employees and as well as for the company’s growth.
 Focus should be given that the trainer chosen understands the employees
and how to train them as few of the older employees had trouble with
coping up with what the trainer wants to convey.

14. CONCLUSION
 Based on the findings, it is concluded that Information Technology has
a positive and huge impact on the training and development of
PowerGrid Corporation Of India Limited
 Most of the employees find it more easy and convenient to store data,
do calculations, work on softwares online after being trained as
compared to the scenario before the company started storing data
online.
 Majority of the people who are working in the company for the past 20
years said as compared to earlier times working today has become
more easy thanks to the computers.
 But yes for getting trained properly a good trainer is needed and
 PCIL should concentrate on training the employees every year rather
than alternate year in order to clear all their doubts and problems that
they face using computers.
