TRAINING

Training is an essential component in the overall strategy of efficient and cost effective service. The need for training of personnel to face the new and emerging task of planning and development and achievement of social economic objectives has been emphasised in successive five years plans. The training sector has been given a new impetus and focus during the last few years and the emphasis has been to evolve a new administrative set up with stress on competence, commitment and performance. The Estimates Committee also in its 78th Report presented to Lok Sabha on 25.4.1989 had observed that ” Training is a strong motivating force and the most important aspects of motivation is the perspective that the Organisation provides an opportunity for individual development". The Committee emphasised the importance of the systematic training and suggested that the Organisation should undertake the systematic and purposeful training to all officers in the department as this will go a long way in toning up the employees and improving their application to work to the benefit of both employees and Organisation.

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation having recognised the need for training its personnel so as to provide trouble free service to its members, set up an Apex Institution namely, the National Academy for Training & Research in Social Security [NATRSS] at New Delhi in October, 1990. Till March, 1992, it was operating from the Head Office of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. The National Academy was shifted to hired premises in April, 1992 is now functioning from its own building at 30-31, Institutional Area, Janak Puri, New Delhi – 110 058.

The National Academy for Training & Research in Social Security has a two-tier structure. The Apex Institute is situated at New Delhi, which caters to the needs of Human Resource Development of Group ‘A’ officers as well as undertaking research and development activity. The second tier consists of Zonal Training Institutes which carry out similar functions at the Zonal level for field formations of the Organisation. There are at present four Zonal Training Institutes under the administrative control of the National Academy viz.:

1. Zonal Training Institute, North Zone at Faridabad covering regions namely Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Union Territory Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Head Office.

2. Zonal Training Institute, South Zone at Chennai covering Regions namely Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

i. At the management

ii. The supervisory and

iii. The operative levels.

It is intended that all personnel, at appropriate points of time, would be given necessary training exposure through induction courses, in-service courses and specialised courses/workshops in order to upgrade their professionalism and skills in discharging their functions in the field. Since the Organisation has undertaken modernisation of its operations by induction of computer support, training wings at the National Academy as well as the Zonal Training Institutes would have the necessary hands-on training facility for personnel at different levels in the use and management of computer facilities. Such facilities are at present available at National Academy and Zonal Training Institute, South Zone at Chennai.

The National Academy is expected to be fully commissioned during this year. The infrastructural facilities are being developed comparable to the best training institutes in the country.
