Authors(2) :-Dr. Tanuj Bohra, Arjunpal Singh

This research paper presents a comprehensive organizational study of the State Bank of India (SBI) at Udham Singh Nagar (Uttarakhand), with a primary focus on analyzing training and development practices adopted to enhance employee performance and professional growth. The study explores how SBI systematically imparts training through in-house programs, e-learning platforms, and external seminars conducted by domain experts and corporate trainers. These modules aim to update employees with dynamic banking tools, digital platforms, and evolving compliance requirements. In parallel, the research delves into the developmental initiatives tailored to groom employees for leadership roles and managerial responsibilities through structured competency development programs. By aligning human resource strategies with organizational goals, SBI fosters a high-performance culture that meets the challenges of a digital and customer-centric banking environment. The scope of the study includes evaluating training effectiveness, understanding employee perceptions, and assessing the long-term impact on productivity and organizational success. Data is gathered through interaction with staff, HR managers, and training officers. Findings underscore the critical role of skill upgradation, technological adaptability, and regulatory knowledge in sustaining competitive advantage. This paper also offers practical recommendations for enhancing training effectiveness and aligning it with future organizational aspirations.
