Training was provided to the members and workers working in the

need analysis is usually very important for analysing the three levels of
needs which are the organizational, job task and individual need.
Organizational analysis is where the TNA links the training with the
corporate strategy and the Human resource development strategy. It
helps in considering that how well the organization is performing. It
helps in checking whether the organization is facing any challenge
with the implementation of the latest technologies or developmental
strategies like introduction of new and latest technologies.
