The broad objective of the '12 Day Induction Training for antiretroviral therapy and community care centre (ART/CCC) Counsellors' was to impart knowledge and skills among ART/CCC counsellors with special reference to adherence, the medical aspects of intervention and the role of CCC and to study the impact of the training. The training programme was designed following the training schedule suggested by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). A group of 15 ART/CCC Counsellors from the North East States of India participated in the training. Out of the 15 participant counsellors, 10 were females while 5 were males. The training methods included interactive classroom lectures, group activities, role play and field visit. The resource persons for the training programme were the Master Trainers as well as qualified and experienced professionals. For evaluation of the training programme, pre-test and post-test design was followed and data were collected before and after the training using a Pre and Post Training Knowledge Questionnaire. A comparative analysis of pre and post training data demonstrates a clear trend of overall significant knowledge increase and skill development in all the 30 parameters, with small variations (p<0.01). Average score of the participant counsellors in the pre-training assessment was 19.0 while in the post-training assessment it was 38.5. The difference was found to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level. However, out of 21 knowledge areas there was no significant knowledge gain in about half of the areas while there was significant skill development in seven areas out of nine. Scores of pre and post training knowledge questionnaire were categorized into three grades i.e., 'Grade A' (score range: 41 60); 'Grade B' (score range: 21 40) and 'Grade C' (score range: '0 20'. Analysis of the pre training data demonstrates that out of the 15 counsellors, 9 and 6 were in 'Grade-C' and 'Grade-B' respectively. After attending the 12 day

If there is one genre of book that is likely to have been on almost every educated youth's reading list, it is self-help and motivational books. That says enough about why adding variety to this domain is a difficult, if not impossible, task. Walter Vieira takes up this rather daunting task in his new book 'The Impatient Manager', and makes it a motivational book with a difference.- From the Edge of Chaos:Dialogues amongst Social Theory and Practice

Making accurate predictions in social sciences is difficult terrain, as, unlike the subject matter of natural sciences, the unit of interest in social sciences is relatively non-homogeneous and easily alterable. This makes bridging the gap between theory and practice one of the major challenge a social scientist faces while working in his/her domain. In the edited volume From the Edge of Chaos, Dr. Sharma and Dr. Zirkler provide a forum to initiate, in their own words, a 'dialogue between theory and practice'. The book is a collection of the papers presented at the Conference titled International Dialogue amongst Research and Practice: Getting Insight and Focusing Action, School of Applied Psychology, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Zurich, held on September 1-3, 2014.- Human Drama Inc.:Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace by Neeta Mohla, Sage Publications India Pvt.

With over four decades of research on it, emotional intelligence is one of the most explored and written on topics in organizational behavior literature. However, much of this research is based in the western setting, leaving it for the non-western reader to extrapolate the findings to his/her own context - contexts that often vary significantly in terms of culture, emotional expressiveness, values, and permissible actions at the workplace. Further, the real world is often too complex and dynamic to explain through the scientific findings obtained in controlled settings. The resulting conclusions, therefore, often run the risk of being irrelevant or overgeneralized.- Intercultural Communication:The Indian Context by Ramesh N.

A land of over 1.2 billion, with a legacy that dates well over 5000 years of documented history and millions of years of presence of life, the birthplace of three major religions and the meeting point of almost all major religious beliefs of the world, an open economy coexisting with a welfare state, the largest democracy in the world, whose citizens have made and continue to make their mark in art and literature as well as the latest fields in science and technology, a land with its fair share of cross-border and internal violence and yet displaying one of the greatest examples of harmonious living in a highly diversified society - India remains a wonder as well as an enigma to social scientists, policy makers, and to businesspersons who plan to operate in India.- Media Audience Research - A Guide for Professionals (3rd Edition)

Media has expanded beyond reckoning in recent times, in both its scope and its reach. The behaviour of the audience of any media provides valuable information to professionals about what advertisements are being viewed and talked about, which is the prime time when a medium attracts maximum footfall, or how to position and present a communication for maximum impact. The digitization of media and audience response, in the form of blogs, tweets, comments, likes, and even clicks, have deluged advertisers with audience data. This data needs to be tabulated and analyzed to be understood and used for decision making. However, traditional data analysis techniques often fall short in this respect - since they do not capture the qualitative nuances of the data.- Training and Development:Theories and Applications by Dipak Kumar Bhattacharyya, Sage Publications India Pvt.

One of the key areas of human resource management interventions in the organisations, training and development play a major role in ensuring demand-abilities fit, maintaining work motivation and satisfaction, and developing the leadership pipeline. But to be effective, training and development programmes needs to be designed with an expert understanding of the latest research and practice trends and their underlying theoretical premises. Prof. Bhattacharyya's book is a useful handbook in this direction - maintaining a useful balance between the research foundations of training practices and practical guidelines for managers.- Winning on HR Analytics:Leveraging Data For Competitive Advantage, by Ramesh Soundararajan, and Kuldeep Singh, Sage Publications India Pvt.

Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Netscape, once famously quipped that 'We've never had anything this big since the beginning of the planet'. He was then, as is common knowledge, talking about the telecom revolution – long-distance communication innovations that have revolutionized the way connectivity, empowerment, and access have been visualized even a few decades ago. With the world moving steadily towards telecommunication marvels that are sleeker, faster, and more multipurpose than before, the role of telecommunication firms in the making of the modern economy is undeniable.- The Sleeping Tigers:A Revival Story by Rana Som, Sage Publications India Pvt.

Narratives on giant business enterprises are not uncommon. The stories of how great institutions are created, sustained, and revived have long remained the staple for business readers, serving as valuable sources of insights into what should be done and what not, in order to repeat successes and avoid failures. Rana Som's book belongs to this league, but sets itself apart in the timeliness of the issue, and the relevance of the interventions described for one of the largest economies of the world. The Indian public sector enterprises have garnered considerable attention lately, as being the backbone of an ever-expanding economy and visionary government policies, and yet being subject to numerous frauds, malpractices, and inefficiencies, particularly in the financial sector. Drawing on his experiences from a vast an illustrious career, the author weaves the accounts of two massive Indian business entities, impressive not only in their size but also in their turnaround stories.- Life Competencies for Growth and Success by Devendra Agochiya, Sage Publication India Pvt.

Training and development has been one of the busiest and most fruitful terrain for practitioners in people management. As organizations are increasingly focused on keeping their workforce updated with the latest technological advancements, training in people skills have also gained ground. Managers are realizing the importance of being well adept in understanding their colleagues, customers, other stakeholders, and subordinates, in order to smoothen the functioning of the firm and the larger ecosystem of stakeholders. The founding stone of such an understanding is the understanding of one's own self, its strengths and weaknesses, and its tendencies to generate some consistent patterns of behaviours in different business situations.

One of the very few things that may be predicted with certainty about the world in the coming decades is the hold of information technology on it. IT-enabled products and services has revolutionized the way humankind communicates, works, relaxes, or solves medical, political, legal, or educational problems. It has also left the generations grappling with rapid changes in the modus operandi of even the most mundane tasks of life. While the impact has been vastly beneficial in making the world as we know it today, technology, to the vast majority, has been a major time-guzzler, a distractor from important life activities, and a source for social anxieties and privacy risks previously unknown.

As the art of mass persuasion for purchase of a product or a service or simply a way of life, marketing has undergone dramatic changes in a world where digital technology is ubiquitous. With more than half the world's population exposed regularly to some form of online media or other, the digital world has become an important forum for businesses to build their presence in the minds of their customers. Further, digital media is changing the reading and recreation habits of a significant fraction of the educated world, away from the traditional sources of information (and therefore persuasion) such as newspapers, radios, and even televisions. In marketing, it pays to be where the eyes are, and a lot many of them are on the omnipresent social media world of Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and Instagram. It is a world of visibility which few business holders can afford to miss, but at the same time, having emerged barely a decade ago, social media marketing is still little-understood and explored, causing managers to be intimidated by threats such as data security, online trolls, and negative reviews on public platforms.

The ubiquitous presence of media in India today has been spurred by a multiplicity of development over the decades. With the opening up of the Indian economy to global business, the culture of consumerism has been dominant in the popular narrative – accompanied with narratives of immediate gratification and consumption as a symbol of achievement. The entry of private media houses in the business increased both the scope of coverage as well as the range of opinions about what is covered. The spur in last-mile connectivity and affordable data plans has led to the second revolution in media, making the reach of news almost universal. At the same time, the proliferation of fake news and the opinionated presentations of facts have been major trends that seemed to have eroded the credibility of media.

Positive Psychology has been one of the most influential schools of thoughts in recent times in the field of mental health, and has been equally popular in the realms of people management. Moving away from the curative/preventive stance, positive psychology focuses on what is functional in a person, and builds on that to build overall efficacy. In The Joy of Leadership, Tal Ben-Shahar & Angus Ridgway, leadership coaches and founders at Potentialife, connect the tenets of positive psychology to leadership, and speak on how to be effective at leading others by making the best of oneself.

One of the most researched and discussed topics in the management world, leadership and its studies have been evolving continuously, to capture the complexities of heading teams, divisions, and organizations in a dynamic connected environment. Much of the modern thoughts therefore focus on the multiplicities of qualities that a leader needs to display and how he or she needs to juggle with approaches to arrive at the right styles for his/her subordinates. Other thoughts focus on predominant types, or their combinations, and how they impact work outcomes.- Mind Tools for Managers - 100 Ways to be a Better Boss. by James Manktelow and Julian Birkinshaw, Wiley India Pvt.
