This paper was set to examine training and development in the banking sector and reaffirm the investment in training and development. In line with the assertion made by the literature and the evidences gathered in the process of the study, the following recommendations were made: It is an established fact that no serious minded organization like banks can be staffed by people with expertise and potentials in the various disciplines needed for its total functioning simply by recruitment and selection, it’s the systematic training and development of personnel on continuous basis that can harness the totality of human resources in the organization, banks should ensure that any training and development which takes place is based on proper analysis of its contribution to the effectiveness and efficiency of banking industry. The data collected from different sources was cross checked. Different statistical tools and techniques were used like mean, mode, median, averages, t-test and chi-square. The paper concluded that investment in the area of training and development in the human resources will bear the fruits much fold for the banking industry of the two countries. For the Indian banks have established their training institutes for the purpose of training its staff which was lacking with their counterparts. Each employer who invests seriously in the area of Training and Development will reap the benefits of an enriched working environment with higher levels of staff retention as well as increased productivity and performance. In the modern computer era training has gained the reputation of dynamic concept which needs to be understood in that perspective most of the modern banks which do not respond to the dynamic change that are seen in changed environment may fail to respond to the needs of customers. Training is one of most important and effective means of bringing about change in banking sector. Hence, the study is carried with the aim of studying training implementation in these selected banks.
