Post introduction of the airconditioner is not only an avoidable wastage of time but also a measure which is less effective than it would have been if introduced from inception. Designing of the training programmes has not been given the attention that it deserves, perhaps because the trainers are untrained or that they do not wish to put the extra effort that is naturally required for making the training meet the designed objectives. This only means that training has to be designed at a level of responsibility which is immune from the lethargy sometimes associated with training in general. More importantly the designing of the training has not to be or to become purely lecture oriented . It has to be something more, just as Science to be useful to society has to move from the laboratory to the industry .
Training has to be practical.
The public is confronted with untrained officers who not only create a bad image of the department but also harm the national interest by conducting themselves in a shabby manner. Many of the above areas are part of the training programmes but there is a lack of supervision over many of these with the result that only small percentage of the officers take benefit. Ladies are the least interested in the physical part of training exercise like yoga. This is unfortunate but it is for the trainers to motivate them. Last but not least, training has to keep pace with the fast pace of economic reform.
