It has been found in this study that the training programmes enhance the competence of teachers, develop their professional efficiency and better teaching skills and also update and refresh the knowledge of teachers. Resource persons were satisfying because of their usage of power point presentations through computers and laptops. Training about action research proved to be very helpful for the teachers.
