Definition
According to Lynton and Pareek (1967), training is a process of preparing the learners for certain line of action. It helps the participants to improve job performance. It deals with understanding and skill.
Taylor (1961) defined training as a means to bring about continuous improvement in the quality of work performed by an individual and equip him with necessary knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes to perform the job efficiently.
Training is a process by which individuals are helped to acquire certain specific skills related to a given set of operations in certain specified contents only. It ensures methodical and mechanical replication of certain roles/operations. Without further training suited to changing contexts, a trainee will not be able to engage in further self learning activities, or acquire higher order values required for arising needs/situations
Training can be therefore conceptualized as a planned and systematically organized effort to increase and update knowledge, improve skills, inculcate attitude and enhance capabilities and capacities of individuals so that they continuously try to become more productive, effective and meaningful in their pursuits. It on the other hand, leads to action that can be repeated for enhancing self motivation and further improvement through practice.
