With the rapid expansion of ONGC and prevalence of a diverse culture, it was essential to help the women managers build on skills which would aid them in moving rapidly on their career path.

  • To enhance managerial skills for effective performance
  • To develop communication skills
  • To reflect, discuss and overcome shortcomings, if any, in personal development.
