Education aims at development of human resources. When we talk of training we are talking about development of those human resources who are involved in the education system. These include educational administrators, college and school heads, teachers, library functionaries, office functionaries and laboratory staff. Developing the competencies of these functionaries becomes extremely important as the effectiveness of education system depends upon how well they perform their roles and responsibilities. Training is therefore necessary as the knowledge base is continuously changing and technology is changing at a very fast pace.
