2. A WORD OF PRAISE ABOUT TRAINING PROGRAMMS FROM MPPaKVCL,INDORE
 
We have started seeing the benefits of REC training programs for Franchisee & C&D employees. The feedback of the training is not only positive but outstanding. It is well known that the technology in the workplace is changing very rapidly and the companies that can’t keep up will drop out of the competition. Thus, training plays a very vital role and in this context the REC training program for Franchisee, C&D employees have helped the organization to achieve its overall goals and objectives. After Franchisee Training program most of the participants said that it is a very positive step ahead towards the growth of the villagers along with improvising the services of distribution of electricity. A number of participants have shown interest and desire to become a part in taking the electricity distribution Franchisee work as their carrier.
C&D training program - Variant I has created a sense of belongingness & security. It has also motivated our employees to work more efficiently by brushing up there existing knowledge and giving an opportunity to interact with their supervisors and colleagues. It will be worth emphasizing that this comprehensive training of Variant I has tremendously helped to reduce number of electrical accidents as it provided a solid platform for sharing practical knowledge and innovative ideas.
C&D Training program - Variant III has brought wonders to the organisation. It is worth mentioning here that this is one of the most important trainings which were not happening very frequently. This training inculcated multi-purpose approach among the employees whereby they have now knowledge of various streams like Establishment, Revenue, Book Keeping, Works, Stores etc., This has now helped the organization to create a back up for each position and help in developing a succession planning.
Its our pleasure to organise the training program of REC as this has benefited the organization by creating a harmony between employer and employees. It also establishes us as  socially responsible organization.
