Preamble
Over a last decade, Indian economy is growing fast and is competing the growth in China. Government has
committed large investments in infrastructure like road, bridges, power plants, etc. It is also committed to
social development through schemes like NREGS, NRHM, etc. This inspired Indian companies & MNCs to set up
new plants and/or expand their existing capacities in India. This has created a large no. of jobs, both in
manufacturing and service sector. It is a paradoxical situation where, there is a major skill gap persisting in
industry and there are large no of unemployed youth moving around directionless. There is a need to ramp up
capacities in training and education. All these years this was looked at, as a job of government to create and
enhance training capacities across country. There is a major challenge before India – “Employability for youth
through proper, structured skill development in sync with industry demand.” Many corporate companies and
NGOs have committed themselves to this social cause be it alone or in PPP mode of partnership with
government at various levels like municipal level, state level or central government level.
Skills N Careers – www.skillsncareers.com a subsidiary of Rishi Laser Ltd., is committed itself to this social
cause. It has partnered with Government of Gujarat in PPP mode. It has set up a chain of vocational institutes
in Gujarat to create a pool of skilled talent for industry. It conducts courses for welders, fitters, electricians,
CNC operators, CAD designers, etc.
Goal : - To achieve quality training for candidates hence better employability, Good management of
institute resources and improvement in performance of training centre

Page 23 of 28
BARS
There are many techniques to carry out performance appraisal, namely Behavior checklist, Job/Result
outcome, Ranking, Graphic rating scale, Management by objective (MBO), Behaviorally Anchored Ratings
Scales (BARS), etc. These techniques fall under either of the two broad categories of performance appraisal,
Behavior oriented or Result oriented.
BARS, based on behavior traits, is one of most widely used technique. These are the rating scales, whose scale
points are defined by effective and ineffective behavior. They are said to be behaviorally anchored in the scale
that is a continuum of descriptive statements ranging from least to most effective. The evaluation indicates,
which behavior on each scale best describes performance of employee.
BARS technique is a three step process:
• Determination of job competencies, which are most relevant to performance of job.
• Identification of behavioral anchors for each job competency.
• Determination of the scale values to be used and grouping of anchors for each scale value.
The end result is a rating scale for each behavioral anchor. There is a great amount of understanding required
for BARS evaluations. In-depth knowledge, about critical tasks performed by the position & full range of
behaviors displayed by individuals while carrying out these tasks, is a key to BARS creation.
