A modest attempt is made to review analytically the training and development practices in power sector with special emphasis on SOUTHERN POWER DISTRIBUTION COMPANY OF ANDHRA PRADESH LIMITED (APSPDCL). It covers issues relating to selection of trainees, the problems and difficulties faced by the trainees during the training period, the responses of trainees, the effectiveness of training and development programmes and the extent by which the organization and the employees are benefited after training and development programmes. The objective of this research work is to find out the gap between the training needs and training programmes conducted in the APSPDCL. The present book is a little endeavour in this direction.
