INTRODUCTION
Training is a systematic and planned activity to improve the current job performance. It may be
defined as a planned program designed to improve performance and to bring about measurable
changes in knowledge, skills, attitude and social behavior of employees for doing a particular
job.
The function of training is to close the gap between the desired performance and the actual job
performance. The need for quality training program increase due to the fact that the highly
competitive business environment is throwing up new and complex challenges literally every
day. The sophistication in jobs demands high skill and ingenuity on the part of the trainer.
Training need analysis is an important component in gamut of training.
New complex jobs coming into existence, there by pushing up the need for high quality training
programmed. Due to the slowdown of economy, many jobs cuts are taking place leading to
situation where workers must retain themselves to stay employed in the same organization or to
compete in market place.

Definition & Basics about Sales Training
Sales training is a very important component of hiring a new employee. It can take up to 90
days for a new employee to become acclimated to selling the product or service; therefore,
having effective training implemented early on will help both the new employee and the
organization. Sales training is a method of teaching employees how to accurately and
effectively offer a product or service to a customer, follow through and close the deal.
15 | P a g e
TYPES OF TRAINING MODULES FOLLOWED IN PANTALOONS
16 | P a g e
Miscellaneous Training: - Once the operation employees are trained in specific sales
methods and products, the organization then stresses on miscellaneous items such as
return per sq. ft, sales vs. target achv, conversion %age, Ticket Size, tc. Thus leading to
enhanced learning.
PBGC Training – Pay back green card is loyalty program launched by future group.
Before pantaloon had green card program for their customer. As a training detail is to be
providing to the staff. Thereafter make them learned that how to do migrated the card or
to fill up form & take details of the customer.

TRAINING METHOD FOLLOW BY PANTALOON
LECTURE METHOD
It seems the only advantage to a lecture is the ability to get a huge amount of information
to a lot of people in a short amount of time. It has been said to be the least effective of all
training methods. In many cases, lectures contain no form of interaction from the trainer
to the trainee and can be quite boring. Studies show that people only retain 20 percent of
what they are taught in a lecture.
Role Playing
Role playing allows employees to act out issues that could occur in the workplace. Key
skills often touched upon are negotiating and teamwork.A role play could take place
between two people simulating an issue that could arise in the workplace. This could
occur with a group of people split into pairs, or whereby two people role play in front of
the classroom.
18 | P a g e
OBJECTIVE OF TRAINING
The objective of training is to nourish the skills, knowledge & behavior of the employees to
achieve desired results in the store thus leading to…….
Increase productivity.
Improve morale.
Lower turnover.
19 | P a g e
TRAINING VS DVELOPMENT
Training often has referred to as teaching specific skills and behavior. Examples of training are
learning to fire a rifle, to shots in basketball and to type. It is usually reserved for people who
have to be brought up to performing level in some specific skills. The skills are almost always
behavioral as distinct from conceptual or intellectual.
Development, in contrast, is considered to be more general than training and more oriented to
individual needs in addition to organizational needs and it is most often aimed toward
management people. There is more theory involved with such education and hence less concern
with specific behavior than is the case with training. Usually, the intent of development is to
provide knowledge and understanding that will enable people to carry out non-technical
organizational functions more effectively. Training is meant for operatives and development is
meant for managers.
Training tries to improve a specific skill relating to a job whereas development aims at
improving the total personality an individual. Training is a one-shot deal; whereas development
is an ongoing continuous process. The scope of training is on individual employee, whereas the
scope of development is on the entire work group or the organization. Training is mostly the
result of initiatives taken by management. It is the result of some outside motivation.
Development is individual; whereas development aims at meeting the future needs of the job and
the individual. In other words, training is a reactive process whereas development is a proactive
process. Development is future oriented training, focusing on the personal growth of the
employee.
20 | P a g e
TRAINING VS EDUCATION
The term ‘education’ is wider in scope and more general in purpose when compared to training.
Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and of an employee while learning]. Education,
on the other hand, is the process of increasing the general knowledge and understanding of
employees. It is a person-oriented, theory-based knowledge whose main purpose is to improve
the understanding of a particular subject or them [conceptual learning]. Its primary focus is not
the job of an operative. Education is imparted through schools or colleges and the contents of
such a programmed generally aim at improving the talents of a person. Training is practice –
based and company-specific. However, both have to be viewed as programmed that are
complementary and mutually supportive. Both aim at harnessing the true potential of a
person/employee.
21 | P a g e
NEED FOR TRAINING
6) HEIGHTEN MORALE: Possession of needed skills helps to meet such basic needs as
security and satisfaction.

RATIONALITY OF CONDUCTING THE STUDY
As per course curriculum the student of PGDM (HR) of the session 2011-2013 of Dewan vs.
instituted of Management are to submit their project work. A project is a scientific and
systematic study of real issue or problem intended to resolve the problem with application of
concept and skills. The problem can be from any discipline. The essential requirement of a
project is that it should entail scientific collection analysis and interpretation of the data leading
to valid conclusion. Before going in to details of my project, I want to highlight as to why elected
the topic.
1. To find out how identification of training need takes place in the organization and it has to
achieve the objectives of training in organization.
2. This project was selected to obtain the responses of the concerned employees to the existing
training development at Durgapur PANTALOON.
4. What are the difficulties they encounter while participating in the training.
23 | P a g e
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
During the study several problems have faced and those limitations of the study can be
summarized below.
1. Among 55 employees only a sample of 50(Manager & staff) were taken for the study in the
Durgapur Pantaloon ltd.
2. Most executives were too busy, thus to obtain desired document and data there was need to
take prior approximant from them.
3. The employees often give their response in consultation with each other. Hence, a big question
mark can be put on the reliability of the responses.
4. Very short space.
