Kolkata , Oct. 15

INDIA will be hosting the 33rd world conference and exhibition of International Federation of Training and Development Organisations (IFTDO) in Delhi from November 22-25.

The Switzerland-based global apex human resource development organisation comprises 150 member organisations spread over 50 countries and is focused on issues related to training.

To be inaugurated by the President, the HR mega event would also witness the institution of the `ISTD-FICCI Award for Excellence in HR Practices,' an Indian parallel to the Balridge Award in the US. The awards are meant to promote good HR practices in the country. The award will be given to two categories of corporates defined on the basis of manpower.

Sources said that the Union HRD Ministry, CII, FICCI, National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM), All India Management Association (AIMA) and a host of chambers, among others, were collaborating in organising the global HR meet.

While the Tata group has agreed to be prime sponsor of the conference, negotiations are on with L&T and a host of companies for sponsorship. The conference will focus on `Value creation and human development - The emerging dimensions."

The sources said that the IFTDO organising committee headed by Mr Subir Raha, the ONGC chief, are currently busy holding road shows across the country to ensure maximum participation in the event.
