INTRODUCTION
Human resource management (HRM or simply HR) is a function in organizations designed to
maximize employee performance in service of an employer's strategic objectives.HR is primarily
concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies and
systems. Satisfied and efficient human resources are the key factor for any organization to face
the challenges of today’s business. Moreover, the growth, development and expansion of the
organization are highly dependent on their performance. In addition, employees’ performance
is related with the satisfaction of employees.
Employee satisfaction has been defined as a function of perceived performance and
expectations. It is a persons’ feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a
products’ outcome to his/her expectations.
If the performance falls short of expectations, the employee is dissatisfied and if it matches the
expectations, the employee is satisfied. A high satisfaction implies improvement in efficiency
and performance doing work or service.
The employee satisfaction is the orientation of the industry towards his work role, which he is
presently playing. The organization will only thrive and survive when its employees are
satisfied.
This makes person says completely that he is fully satisfied with the job. This study conducted
so that the employees give their full, honest and frank opinion by remaining anonymous about
how they feel about their jobs.
Employee satisfaction refer towards the satisfaction level of the employees in the organization
wherever they render their work, the organization can be of any such kind referring the health
care industry or pharmaceutical or hotel or banking etc. Each and every employee who renders
their services opts for not only salaries but also wants to achieve job satisfaction. Here arises
the need for satisfaction, which is to be provided by the employer to the employee not only
inside they organization but also outside the firm while performing the work in their
organization.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
India is the still by and large vegetarian in dietary habit and heavily depends upon vegetative
source to meet out its daily protein requirement. India is bound to be global leader in terms of
production and consumer of pulses. Since, India is leading importer of pulses; production of
pulse/legume crops has been stagnant over the years. They are the main sources of protein.
The important dals in the country are Channa,Moong, Urad, Moth, turdal and Masoor, Matar
etc. The pulses are used for preparing hot dishes, sweet dishes and other varieties.Pulses are
the important sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and are popularly known as “Poor
man’s meat” and “rich man’s vegetable”, contribute significantly to the nutritional security of
the country.India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of world
consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world. The dal milling industry in India is one
of the major agro processing industries in the country. From an annual production of 13.19
million tonnes of pulse in the country, 75% of these pulses are processed by dal mills.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
OF
EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Human beings are social beings and hardly ever live and work in isolation. We always plan,
develop and manage our relations both consciously and unconsciously. The relations are the
outcome of our actions and depend to a great extent upon our ability to manage our actions.
From childhood each and every individual acquire knowledge and experience on understanding
others and how to behave in each and every situations in life. Later we carry forward this
learning and understanding in carrying and managing relations at our workplace. The whole
context of Human Resource Management revolves around this core matter of managing
relations at work place.
Human resource management (HRM or simply HR) is a function in organizations designed
to maximize employee performance in service of an employer's strategic objectives. HR is
primarily concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies
and systems.
HRM is the comprehensive set of managerial activities and tasks concerned with developing
and maintaining a qualified workforce. Human resource is a way that contributes to
organizational effectiveness. In most of today’s organizations, the role of HRM has become
quite important (Blake 1995).
Satisfied and efficient human resources are the key factor for any organization to face the
challenges of today’s business. Moreover, the growth, development and expansion of the
organization are highly dependent on their performance. In addition, employees’ performance
is related with the satisfaction of employees. To create a satisfied, productive and efficient
workforce, for any organization, proper HRM policies and practices are imperative. Proper HRM
practices can ensure satisfied and efficient workforce to continue the pace of growth of this
18
industry. The study is an attempt to find out the impact HRM practices on the employees’ job
satisfaction.
Employee satisfaction has been defined as a function of perceived performance and
expectations. It is a persons’ feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a
products’ outcome to his/her expectations.
If the performance falls short of expectations, the employee is dissatisfied and if it matches the
expectations, the employee is satisfied. A high satisfaction implies improvement in efficiency
and performance doing work or service. The process is however, more complicated then it
appears. It is more important for any organization to offer high satisfaction, as it reflects high
loyalty and it will not lead to switching over once a better offer comes in.
CONCEPT
Employee Training is the terminology used to describe whether employees are training, skilled,
happy and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures meaning
that employee training is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement, and
positive employee morale in the workplace.
As per Vroom “Employee training is a positive orientation of an individual towards a work role
which he is presently occupying”.
Employee training is a measure of how happy workers are with their job and working
environment. Keeping morale high among workers can be of tremendous benefit to any
company, as happy workers will be more likely to produce more, take fewer days off, and stay
loyal to the company. There are many factors in improving or maintaining high employee
satisfaction, which wise employers would do well to implement.
Employee training, while generally a positive in organization, can also be a bad luck if mediocre
employees stay because they are satisfied with your work environment.
Many experts believe that one of the best ways to maintain employee satisfaction is to make
workers feel like part of a family or team. Holding office events, such as parties or group
outings, can help build close bonds among workers. Many companies also participate in team-
building retreats that are designed to strengthen the working relationship of the employees in a
non-work related setting. Camping trips, paintball wars and guided backpacking trips are
19
versions of this type of team-building strategy, with which many employers have found success.
Of course, few workers will not experience a boost in morale after receiving more money.
Raises and bonuses can seriously affect employee satisfaction, and should be given when
possible. Yet money cannot solve all morale issues, and if a company with widespread problems
for workers cannot improve their overall environment, a bonus may be quickly forgotten as the
daily stress of an unpleasant job continues to mount.
If possible, provide amenities to your workers to improve morale. Make certain they have a
comfortable, clean break room with basic necessities such as running water. Keep facilities such
as bathrooms clean and stocked with supplies. While an air of professionalism is necessary for
most businesses, allowing workers to keep family photos or small trinkets on their desk can
make them feel more comfortable and nested at their workstation. Basic considerations like
these can improve employee satisfaction, as workers will feel well cared for by their employers.
The backbone of employee satisfaction is respect for workers and the job they perform. In
every interaction with management, employees should be treated with courtesy and interest.
An easy avenue for employees to discuss problems with upper management should be
maintained and carefully monitored. Even if management cannot meet all the demands of
employees, showing workers that they are being heard and putting honest dedication into
compromising will often help to improve morale.
Satisfaction = f(what employee expects, what she gets, time, back ground of the employee-
social, economic, cultural)
Satisfaction being a continuous process starts from the day 1 and gets reinforced with time
depending on the importance of the various factors considered to be important for the
individual employee. Loyalty towards the organization starts to develop when the employee
continues to get the positive reinforcements on various important aspects for the duration of
the employment.
Core Values as a Foundation of Employee Satisfaction:
These are the values that have enabled employees to build the leading company in industry;
these are the values that will fuel employees’ worldwide growth in the coming years; and these
are the values that will drive employees’ career:
20
• Professionalism – Demonstrating professional methods, character and standards. Treating
prospects, clients and co-workers generously and charitably at all times, but especially in the
face of adversity.
• Enthusiasm – Showing excitement, optimism and passion for your work.
• Resourcefulness – Acting effectively and imaginatively to produce great results from scarce
resources.
• Self-directedness – Working independently and autonomously to achieve the goals set by
management.
• Ethics – Acting in accordance with the accepted principles of right and wrong that govern
the conduct of our profession.
• Unselfishness – Putting others before you, giving your time and effort for prospects, clients
and co-workers. Showing cooperative effort as the member of a group to achieve a common
goal.
• Strategic-mindedness – Suggesting and implementing long-term improvements springing
from a sequence of short-term tasks.
The study of "employee training" helps the company to maintain standards & increase
productivity by training & motivating the employees. This study tells us how much the
employees are capable & their interest at work place? What are the things still to be trained to
the employees? Although "human resources" are the most important resources for any
organization, so to study on employee’s training helps to know the working conditions & what
are the things that affect them not to work properly? Always majority of done by the
machines/equipments but without any manual moments nothing can be done. So to study on
employee training is necessary
The How’s and Whys of Employee training Mapping:
An organization is all about customer satisfaction. Companies understand this and focus all
their energy on their service or customer experience. However, many companies do this at the
21
cost of employee experience. What does this mean? Is customer satisfaction not the priority?
It is! But it is important not to lose sight of people who deliver the end product or service to the
customers – the employees. These are the people that need a proper support system.
Employee satisfaction is paramount as this is what will determine the success or failure of a
company. When employees are trained and skilled about working in an organization, the
customer is the first person to notice that.
With employees getting thin-skinned every day, it depends completely on the employer to
ensure they do not have their top talent drained away by the new competitor on the block. In
the current scenario, the decision of hopping by the employee is triggered by the minutes of
issues, such as being ticked off in a not too friendly tone or even an uneasy office environment.
It becomes important to be aware and understand the signals that are given out by the
employees. The management will do well to catch them before it is too late and the employee
makes the decision to quit. This understanding gives the employers an edge and gives them the
time to take corrective measures if necessary, in order to prevent talent loss. It could be that
the employee is not happy with the environment or is suffering from a relationship issue with a
colleague or a superior. These issues need to be handled before they get out of hand.
How do employers understand their employees? How do they know what employees want?
How do they map their training levels? There are several ways of mapping employee training.
Surveys: This is a traditional method that involves employees’ participation. Employers create
surveys that have questions on the different parameters related to the organization. They put
forth questions in such a way that every aspect of an organization is touched and the feedback
is returned in the form of an opinion given by each employee. This helps employers understand
how employees are trained and skilled and their understanding levels, and paves the path for
problem solving. These surveys can actually identify problem areas and help come up with
solutions to solve the problems. They reveal the employee attitude on the whole.
One-on-One Interviews: A non-conventional tool, this involves discussions with every employee
on a one-to-one basis every few months. Their thoughts are recorded and trouble parameters
identified and taken care of.
Exit Interviews: This comes into action after an employee submits his resignation papers. The
problem with exit interviews is that most employees, once they decide to leave, are not
22
forthright. In an attempt to keep good relations with the employer, they usually do not tell-all
as they ought to. Many of them in fact give personal reasons for leaving and make the
employer feel that all is well on the work front.
Employers who fail at HR and see high attrition rate are those that consider monetary
compensation as highly important. In spite of the fact that employees work for money,
emotional rewards go a long way at keeping the employer-employee relation strong and have a
larger impact on employee satisfaction. Tracing and improving this satisfaction level has to be
top priority for the HR department of an organization.
Employee training mapping can be the key to a better motivated and loyal workforce that leads
to better organizational output in the form of better products and services and results in overall
improvement of an organization.
If a person is not trained for the job he is doing, he may switch over to some other more
suitable job. In today’s environment it becomes very important for organizations to retain their
employees. The reason may be personal or professional. These reasons should be understood
by the employer and should be taken care of. The organizations are becoming aware of these
reasons and adopting many strategies for employee retention.
The basic needs other than routine tasks are to be taken care of on priority before it becomes
late by HR department.
To a considerable extent however theoretical needs are satisfied off the job. Mechanical needs
are satisfied around the job where Technological needs are chiefly satisfied through the proper
training.
PRINCIPLES AND EVALUATION OF TRAINING
Training is the process of assisting a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness at
work by improving and updating his professional knowledge, by developing skills relevant to his
work and people. Training could be designed either for improving present capabilities at work
or for preparing a person for assuming higher responsibilities in future which call for additiona
knowledge and superior skills.
Training is different from education particularly formal education. While education is concerned
mainly with enhancement of knowledge, training aims essentially at increasing knowledge,
stimulating aptitude and imparting skills related to a specific job.
In India, considerable importance has been accorded to training in social development and this
is evident from the fact that the community spends roughly six million dollars annually on
training every year. But there are complains about the effectiveness of training and possible
waste of resources because of the use of stereotyped and conventional methods in training
which are often not set completely in tune with job requirements.
It is a continuous process
Training is a continuous and life long process. Right from the time a child is born he starts
receiving training from his mother for a variety of needs. So that he becomes a social being. His
training continues in the school and the college situations. However training as an organized
effort, designed with certain objectives, for example to help the trainees to be informed of the
subject matter which they have to use in their work situation. Apart from change of attitudes,
their skills have to be improved and knowledge or information has to be imparted through
effective methods. In other words, training provides and synthesizing with the help of the
24
trainers, the information already available on the subject. Training is a time-bound programme.
Thus there is a separate specialized discipline of trainers specializing in the field of human
activity.
Prevailing Concept
2. The participant learns what the trainer teaches. Learning is a simple function of the capacity
of the participant to learn and the ability of the trainer to teach.
4. Training is the responsibility of the training institution. It begins and ends with the course.
New Concept
1. Motivation and skills lead to action. Skills are acquired through practice.
2. Learning is a complex function of the motivation and capacity of the individual participant,
the norms of the training groups the training methods and the behavior of the trainers and the
general climate of the institution. The participant’s motivation is influenced by the climate of
his work organization.
3. Improvement on the job is complex function of individual learning the norms of the working
group and the general climate of the organization. Individual learning used leads to frustration.
4. Training is the responsibility of three partners the participant organization the participant
and the training institution. It has a preparatory pertaining and a subsequent, post-training
phase. All Are equally important to the success of training.
There has been in some quarter’s criticism of training and it is often argued that
personnel can acquire administrative capabilities and work skills through apprenticeship
capabilities and work skills through apprenticeship rather through formal training. While the
training cannot be itself guarantee the success of a development programme. Its untrained
25
personnel are unlikely to prove effective. It is in this context the expert, administrators and
planners greatly appreciate the relevance of training in development process.
A Training cycle consists of a series of steps which lead to a training event being undertaken.
Evaluation provides feedback which links back to the initial stages of training design. Indeed, it
is the evaluation feedback process which makes this a cyclical event without it training would
be a linear process leading from initiating training through to its implementation. The steps in
the cycle are:-
Stage1: Identification of training needs. Examining what skills and attributes are necessary for
the job to be undertaken the skills and attributes of the job holder and the extent of the gap.
Stage3: Discovering the trainee’s attitude to training (reaction) and whether the training has
been useful from the point of view of training. Reaction involves the participant’s feelings
towards the training process including the training content the trainer and the training methods
used. Learning is the extent to which the trainee has actually absorbed the content of the
learning event.
Stage4: Discovering whether the lessons during training have been transferred to the job and
are being used effectively in doing the job.
Stage5: Evaluating the effects of the training on the organization. Thus is the area on which
there is perhaps most confusion, subsequently little real action to clear it.
Stage6: Reinforcement of positive behavior. It is optima that positive outcomes are maintained
for as long as possible. It is not rare event for changes in behavior to be temporary with a gentle
slide back to previous ways of working. It is important to note the feedback loops. Feedback on
the process of actually delivering the training can come from the reaction and learning stage.
the transfer of the training to the work place and the evaluation of the impact of the training.
26
The main feedback for the identification of training needs comes from an assessment of the
transfer of work to the training and the evaluation of the impact on the organization.
It is important to note that these feedback loops may consist of two very different types of
information.
Allowing insights into the method of learning where the experience of those involved
are the main focus, thus using mainly softer qualitative information.
The procedure of identifying training and development needs is crucial for the success of the
training function and requires to be carried out systematically on a regular basis, preferably
every year.
How are training needs indentified to match the organizational requirements in terms of
technology/task/people? Has the training bought the desired change in the individual’s
performance and if so how is it assessed? These are the focal points. Which require attention of
the HR professionals to assess the training needs of the employees working in the organization?
Many organizations have their own system to identifying training needs every year. However
need identification exercise can do real harm if the needs are not met by conduction suitable
programs. Managers must suitable actions are initiated to satisfy the felt needs. Only then they
will this exercise seriously. Hence formulation of suitable and need based training programs and
their timely implementation is very important for the success of any training program.
Training programs are conducted with a view to help the employees to acquire the knowledge
skills and attitude necessary to perform the task assigned to them. They are conducted in order
to bring about a planned change which in turn involves substantial investment of money, time
27
and efforts. Therefore, one has to know whether such an investment in training yielded the
desired results. This desire naturally leads to evaluation of training.
Evaluation means literally the assessment of value or worth. Strictly speaking the act of
evaluating training is the act of judging whether or not it was worthwhile in terms of some
criterion of value in the light of the information available. Evaluation is the tool whereby
information about the result of trainee’s interaction with the learning experiences
systematically collected and analyzed. Thus evaluation can provide useful data both for
improvement of training and enhancement of learning. In brief it is important in 3 ways.
The benefits of constructive practical evaluation of training substantially outweigh the costs six
direct benefits of evaluating training programs are :-
QUALITY CONTROL: Quality control systems are designed to ensure that products or services
are fit for their intended purpose. Evaluation in training will assess the extent to which work
related results can be demonstrated to arise from the training. Successful, positive elements of
training can be maintained and reinforced. whilst negative elements removed or revised. If
results cannot be justified then it becomes hard to justify the commitment of any resources to
the training activity and they can be re-allocated to where they may make a greater impact.
ENHANCED PROFESSIONAL ESTEEM: Training professionals can gain enhanced stature from
having systematic evaluation of data rather than intuitive assessment of their contribution to
the business. Being assessed on their contribution to the bottom-line of the business puts the
28
HRD function on the same footing as other functions instead of claiming that the nature of their
work does not allow an application of the same criteria. This helps to break down the barriers
facing the integration of HRD professionals within the organization.
ENHANCED NEGOTIATION POWER: On much the same track evaluation makes it possible for
the HR function to demonstrate a successful contribution to the business over a period of time.
When resources are to be allocated and new investment decisions to be made them being able
to show the outcomes of training would be invaluable.
INTERVENTION STRATEGY: Evaluation can be a tool for changing the way that training is
integrated into the organization. It offers a means by which the HR function can build on its
enhanced esteem and negotiating power to play a more active role in developing policies.
b. Reduce the learning time required for employees to reach acceptable standards of
performance.
29
g. Help organizations to respond to dynamic market conditions and changing consumer
demands
Different jobs require different capabilities. These capabilities can be considered under four
categories.
1. Technical
2. Managerial
3. Behavioral
4. Conceptual
TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES: They deal with the technology of the job or the tasks the employee is
expected to perform. They include information skills and knowledge.
MANAGERIAL CAPABILITIES: They include the ability to organize, coordinate, plan, monitor,
evaluate and redesign a variety of activities. As managers have the task of getting things done
by others with optimal use of resources for achieving the best possible results. They need to
process managerial capabilities. Knowledge of management techniques like PERT system
analysis, performance budgeting etc are evidences of managerial capabilities. Management
skills involve the application of these techniques for better planning, better coordination, better
monitoring and for better achievement of results.

1. THE BEST HR PRACTICES THAT SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES PRACTICE
Why are employees in some companies happy to stick with the company while others
look for a change? The reason is that some companies know how to take good care of
their employees and provide a working environment that helps them retain their
identity, while proving themselves and growing along with the company.
How Managers Attract, Hire, Focus, And Keep Their Most Talented Employees?
Without satisfying an employee's basic needs first, a manager can never expect the
employee to give stellar performance. The basic needs are knowing what is expected of
the employee at work, giving him the equipment and support to do his work right, and
answering him basic questions of self-worth and self-esteem by giving praise for good
work and caring about his development as a person.
The great manager mantra is don't try to put in what was left out; instead draw out
what was left in. You must hire for talent, and hone that talent into outstanding
performance.
1. Know what can be taught, and what requires a natural talent.
2. Set the right outcomes, not steps. Standardize the end but not the means. As long
as the means are within the company's legal boundaries and industry standards, let the
employee use his own style to deliver the result or outcome you want.
3. Motivate by focusing on strengths, not weaknesses.
4. Casting is important, if an employee is not performing at excellence, maybe he is
not cast in the right role.
31
5. Every role is noble, respect it enough to hire for talent to match.
6. A manager must excel in the art of the interview. See if the candidate's recurring
patterns of behavior match the role he is to fulfill. Ask open-ended questions and let
him talk. Listen for specifics.
7. Find ways to measure, count, and reward outcomes.
8. Spend time with your best people. Give constant feedback. If you can't spend an
hour every quarter talking to an employee, then you shouldn't be a manager.
9. There are many ways of alleviating a problem or non-talent. Devise a support
system; find a complementary partner for him, or an alternative role.
10. Do not promote someone until he reaches his level of incompetence; simply offer

11. Some homework to do: Study the best managers in the company and revise
training to incorporate what they know. Send your talented people to learn new skills
or knowledge. Change recruiting practices to hire for talent, revise employee job
descriptions and qualifications.
Here are some of the best HR practices that help in the creation of a highly satisfied and
motivated work force.
Work Environment
A safe and happy workplace makes the employees feel good about being there. Each
one is given importance and provided the security that gives them the motivation and
incentive to stay. This is usually achieved through internal surveys to find out whether
they are satisfied and if not what they think needs to be changed.
Open Management
Employees don’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark about what is happening in
the company. They feel motivated and develop enthusiasm only when the
management opens up to them and discusses the company policies, sales, clients,
contracts, goals and objectives. This encourages participative management. Asking
32
them for ideas on how to improve will get their creative juices flowing. Being open
about everything related to the company will help in building trust and motivating the
employees. This open management policy can be practiced using several tools.
Performance Incentives
Every good performance is appreciated in the form of a pat on the back, bonuses or
giving some other compensation for a job well done. Organizations that struggle to
keep up with the attrition rate are mostly those that think employees are “just” doing
their job. Even if it is the employee’s job, completion in an appreciable manner calls for
an incentive, and this goes a long way in boosting the staff morale. These incentives can
be implemented at the individual as well as the team level and it has been seen that
this works wonders in getting the best out of the employees. But it is important to keep
in mind that these bonuses should not be given without a reason, unless it is a
commitment for annual bonuses or some such thing. Doing so will only reduce the
perceived value of the bonuses.
Performance Feedback
This is one the methods that is being followed by many organizations. Feedback is not
only taken from the boss, but also from other seniors and subordinates. Previously,
appreciation was only sought from the immediate boss or the management, but now
organizations understand the importance of collecting performance feedback from
several quarters. The opinion of everyone matters, especially for someone who is in a
leadership role at any level. Each person in the team is responsible for giving
constructive feedback. This kind of system helps in identifying people who can perform
well as leaders at higher levels in the organization. Even the senior level managers can
use this system to their advantage, as a tool to improve themselves.
Employee Evaluation
Every company has an employee evaluation system in place but a good system links
individual performance to the goals and priorities of the organization. This works well
when achievements are tracked over a year. For a fair review of each employee, the
33
evaluation, apart from being done by the boss, should be done by another person at a
higher level, for whom the employee’s contribution is important. Ratings can also be
obtained by other employees. This ensures a fair and accurate rating of each and every
employee.
Sharing of Knowledge
Knowledge sharing is a wonderful strategy that helps in the betterment of the
employees and their work. Keep all the knowledgeable information in central databases
that can be accessed by each and every employee. For example, if an employee is sent
on some training, the knowledge that is acquired by that employee can be stored in
these databases for others to learn from it. Even innovative ideas that the management
deems fit for employees to see, can be stored here for all to see.
Discussions
Successful organizations nurture ideas and they understand that employees who are
actually working and know the business can provide the best ideas. The management
should have discussions with employees to get these ideas out of them. There can also
be suggestion boxes to capture these ideas. Through this system, managers can find
talented employees and develop them.
Rewards
While recognition of talent is highly important, this recognition has to be made public
and what better way than holding ceremonies and announcing to the whole world (the
employees), the achievements of a fellow employee. There can be nothing better for an
34
employee than the heady feeling from a resounding applause.

Conclusion
As a part of our curriculum I have undergone into the project work referring the topic
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT at APARNA DALL MILL. Employee Training and
Development is regarded as a major task for the managers which results into the
achievement of whole organization goals and objectives. The organization can be getting
succeeded in this present competitive market only when it has trained and skilled
employees. Employees are been referred with the name calling human resources.
Human resources are considered as the major asset in the organization.
Organization who are involving in carrying the operations in terms of the
product manufacturing, marketing, financing etc. need human resources. One should be
very careful in satisfying their human resources those who renders their services by
putting their efforts. Sometimes the employees in the organization may felt dissatisfied.
The manger should be very attentive towards such kind of employees. At the same time
the HR manager should tune up such kind of dissatisfied employees towards the
satisfaction by creating self-belongingness in such a way “they think that the
organization as their own”.
APARNA DALL MILL is an upcoming big organization considering the pulses industry. It
was providing various measures in the form of training and development facilities to
their employees, apart from this they also provide medical, safety, and welfare etc. and
all other aspects pertaining to compensation, relationships etc. refer towards the
satisfaction of its employees.
Finally my experience at APARNA DALL MILL is a very pleasant one and I am thankful
to each and every person in the company who supported and guided me throughout the
project.
