INTRODUCTION
Fertiliser industry is undergoing a sea change and facing several challenges in the areas of
production, material management, logistics, marketing and use of fertilisers. Companies
have to reorient their strategies to face the challenges and tap the opportunities. In addition
to professional knowledge, personal qualities play vital role in attaining excellence in this
highly competitive environment. Self-improvement and self-growth are critical in improving
the quality of life and enhancing the working efficiency. Therefore, updation of knowledge
of the industry personnel on various issues related to fertiliser sector and enhancing
personal skills are absolutely essential.

Present training programme has been specifically designed to provide suitable opportunity
to the executives to have insight into the recent developments which have taken place in
the fertiliser sector in areas such as policy, production technology, logistics, marketing,
use, etc. Course also covers topics on improving professional and personal effectiveness
of the officers/executives. It is expected that the executives after undergoing this
programme will be able to work with more ease and confidence at their work place.
In this context, FAI-Northern Region is organising a four-day residential training
programme on "Challenges and Strategies for Fertiliser Industry" during January 31
February 3, 2018 at Hotel Desert Tulip, 4, Hotel Complex, Jodhpur Road, Jaisalmer,
Rajasthan.

TRAINING APPROACH
The training approach aims at stimulating individual thinking and maximum participation of
the officers working in the fertiliser industry. Emphasis is on activity approach rather than

teaching techniques that will be used to stimulate and sustain the interest of the
participants.
