In Company, programs included orientation programs for apprentice Assistant Executive Engineers. It had a staff college at Bangalore Programmes were conducted at staff college for all types of personnel. In-company programs included quality management, participative management, time management, etc. The best faculty was drawn from the Indian Institute of Management, Universities, Professional Apart from the four permanent and internal faculty. At present all the four permanent faculty positions are vacant. Evaluation of management development programs is done as a ritual rather than to make it a part of the development process. Evaluation of the in-company program is done at staff college with the objectives of knowing the participants learning and to know how far the participants have found the program useful. The staff college sends no formal feedback to the functional heads of the departments and also to the corporate personnel and administrative department. It appears to be no formal system that provides feedback from the participants and out company programs to their respective functional heads.

There exists no evaluation model with pre-training and post-training evaluation and no efforts are made to develop evaluation techniques.
