Training @ HRDC

2nd day 08/10/09

2nd day @ HRDC the training commenced with a first lecture on "Building a Positive Attitude" by Shri LR Meena, CoSP-cum-Faculty, HRDC. The lecture was quite useful. The session covered various aspects of Positive Attitude. The need for Positive Attitude, Causes and influences of Positive Attitude, How to cope up with negative feelings and turn them into positive attitudes were discussed. This has been followed by a Case Study on Noting and Drafting. The Case Study was handled by Sri YK Sharma, CoA, HRDC. Some real cases were given for work out. Due to paucity of time, one case study was assigned as "Home Work".
Shri LR Meena has explained the salient features of new CSIR Purchase Rules (2009).

Post lunch session on "Records Management - an Overview" was very interesting. This session was handled by Shri GK Pandey. The session started from the definition of Record, Records Management, the activities involved in Records Management which includes Creation, Classification, Custody/Transfer, Maintenance, Preservation, Retrieval, Review and Weeding out. These aspects were discussed with in detail. Record Retention Schedule, Role of National Archives of India were among the topics covered.

After a long period of away from home, I have fallen 'home sick' today (I commenced my journey on 3rd October and will be reaching home on 14th October 09). It would be rather a good idea if the participants are allowed to bring the family. A point to think over !
