MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON, Gurgaon Guwahati Hyderabad Jaipur

DIPLOMA BOARD
With several interventions launched by the
current government, our country for the
first time ever, is sitting on the verge of
moving from an emerging economy to a
developed economy. Every major corpo-
rate action in India is about change, be it
business process transformation or merg-
ers and acquisitions, rebranding, high
growth or geographical expansion, and
the role which training and development
professionals play in this mega transforma-
tion holds key to the success of this
mission. The business of learning is becom-
ing very specialized in a country where the
competence gap is very high between
what businesses expect and what’s
available, not just at the entry level but at
all levels.
Among the most important roles and
responsibilities of a learning & develop-
ment professional is his ability to under-
stand current capabilities not just in terms
of employee skills, but also in terms of
knowledge, behaviour, leadership and
building employability for the future.
The role of India in this domain is assuming
greater significance because the potential
that India has for skill development is what
is bringing the learning industry to the
fore. This is the obvious outcome of India
being looked upon by the rest of the world
as a place where knowledge grows. The
programs such as “make in India” and “skill
India” offer tremendous avenues for the
training and development professionals to
contribute immensely to the cause of the
nation by providing immense. employ-
ment opportunities to a large section of
the young population.
I wish all of you a great learning experience.
