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 !

After a short introduction of each of us, the programme commenced with expectation sharing.

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.
