HRDC Training

I am here at HRDC, Ghaziabad to attend the Common Training Programme on Office Procedure & Record Management for Assistants Gr.I & II (Gen., F&A and S&P). The programme is scheduled for 3 days i.e. from 7th to 9th October, 2009. We (myself, Mr.Rajagopal & Mr.Ramakrishnan, CECRI Karaikudi) reached N.Delhi on 05/10/09 afternoon and stayed at Maharani Bagh G.H. HRDC vehicle picked up us on 06/10/09 by 7.00 pm. On our way to Ghaziabad we drowned in the thick traffic near Akshardam and however reached HRDC by 9.00 pm. After a short refreshing, we had a nice dinner.

1st Day (07/10/2009

Registration & Inauguration : Shri L.R.Meena, CoSP and Shri Manu Saxena, Sct. were formally inaugurated the session. After a short introduction of each of us, the programme commenced with expectation sharing. A skill test was arranged by Shri Tariq Badar, CoSP which will be matched with another skill test after the training sessions so that the improvement level will be measured.

Ms.Jayanthi Sriram, Ex.Asst.Director, ISTM handled the Noting and Drafting; Form and Procedure of Communication. The session was extremely useful as she elaborately discussed the issues related to the effective noting and drafting. The session was mostly interactive. The lecture covered objectives of the noting, parts of the file, quantum of noting, processing steps, structure of the noting, skills of effective noting, the must points and arrangements of papers for submission. The importance of effective communication was deeply discussed, which covered Forms of communication, facets of communication, etc. Overall, the Noting & Drafting and Effective Communication was extremely useful.

We hope that the soft copy of the lecture will be made available to all participants and I will soon be post the same in this blog.

The climate in Ghaziabad today is very good and the food and accommodation were extremely nice. The food intake is little bit heavy i.e. Morning tea, breakfast with tea/coffee, Tea break with snacks, Working Lunch, Evening Tea Break with snacks, Chat/snacks once we returned to G.House and Dinner. This is equally matched with the intake of knowledge from the eminent speakers by way of lectures, quizes, Reading material, Power point presentation, Tests, Self Assessment Questionnaire, Exercises, etc.
