PREFACE
For a management student, research report plays an important role during his study.
Research provides a corporate or real-world platform to learn practically. MBA degree
without any research or corporate world experience is just like food without salt. So
research provides a great learning experience about management concepts and its
applications.
This project was undertaken as a part of the curriculum of MBA course, which is
compulsory for each student to have the research in any organization to their respective
specialization, as to gain first-hand knowledge of the organization. This exposure
enables the trainees to learn effective and efficient ways and means to solve the real
problems faced by the organization and also to understand its dynamics.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this project management report was to conduct a study investigating
successful controlling and completing of projects within time and cost. The study was
carried out with reference to Delhi Metro Project. Delhi Metro projects built and managed
by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd, which is a joint venture between the Government of
India and the Government of Delhi. Currently wholly operational and termed an urban
phenomenon, Delhi Metro has established to be a cost-effective way out for the
transportation afflictions of country’s emergent metropolises. Its time-cost efficiency
model is so successful that urban planners all through India at the present take the
Delhi Metro project as a standard for unbeaten public sector transport projects.
The report comes to the conclusion that time and cost comprise two decisive
components of the project management. In the case of Delhi Metro Project Delhi Metro
Project has had been cited as a leading model of a project management story of success
particularly in the public sector. Its time-cost efficiency model is so successful that
urban planners all through India at the present take the Delhi Metro project as a
standard for unbeaten public sector transport projects. For Delhi Metro Projects, there
requires Quality-Cost-Time triangle model considering its expansion across the
country and maintaining of the running projects. Further for successful implementing
Quality-Cost-Time triangle model, the project managers in Delhi Metro will need to
adopt Test and Fix Model, as Generalized Activity Network.

INTRODUCTION
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Human Resources may be the most misunderstood of all corporate departments, but it's also
the most necessary. Those who work in Human Resources are not only responsible for hiring
and firing, they also handle contacting job references and administering employee benefits.
It's true that any individual who works in Human Resources must be a "people person."
Since anyone in this department deals with a number of employees, as well as outside
individuals, on any given day, a pleasant demeanor is a must.
Managing employees is a major job, so those in Human Resources must be equal to the task.
Ten or twenty years ago, Human Resources personnel were rarely seen. Instead they worked
behind the scenes to ensure personnel records were in order and employee benefits were
being properly administered, but the job stopped there. Today's Human Resources personnel
don't only handle small administrative tasks. They are responsible for staffing major
Corporation.
Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have become one of the most important tools
for many businesses. Even a small office needs to realize the benefits of using HRM to be
more efficient. Many firms do not realize how much time and money they are wasting on
manual human resource management (HRM) tasks until they sit down and inventory their
time. HRM is advancing to become its own information technology (IT) field. It allows
companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more
efficient way.
Especially in difficult economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient
in every sector of their business.
HRM refers to software packages that address HR needs with respect to planning, employee
information access, and employer regulatory compliance. The following text begins with a
discussion of human resource planning, followed by human resource management systems.
13
The HRM field lagged behind a number of other functional areas of management in the
utilization of computer applications, but beginning in the late 1980s extensive use of
sophisticated applications began to appear. Prior to that time, manual record systems often
dominated in personnel or human resource departments. Computer applications used in the
field were generally limited to basic record keeping and payroll management systems.
Virtually all such systems were based on mainframe computers and required extensive
support from information systems professionals. Thus, human resource managers had little
opportunity to design sophisticated reports and computer-based analytical tools to aid in
managerial decision making. In general, uses of computers in HRM fell into the category of
electronic data processing applications, which generally involve the automation of relatively
routine tasks (e.g., calculating pay and printing checks).
Many HRM departments in larger organizations have also developed internal information
system capabilities, so that HRM units have been established.
Significant achievements:
Perhaps the most significant development in the HRM area currently is the growing use of
organizational intranets as a means of managing many aspects of a firm's HRIS. An intranet
is an internal network that makes use of World Wide Web technology (browsers, servers,
etc.) to gather and disseminate information within the firm. Intranets may be linked to the
14
external Internet, but are usually secured in a variety of ways so that only authorized users
can access the information on the internal components. While it is quite easy to generate
static extracts of HRM data tables, queries, forms, and reports for posting on an intranet, it is
also quite feasible to establish live links between an intranet and a firm's HRIS. This allows
real-time collection and display of information. Thus employees can complete forms online
that enroll them in benefits programs, allow them to bid on job openings, let them submit
suggestions, and facilitate filing of various claims. In addition, intranet displays can be
tailored to the needs of specific users. The user may check on the current status of his or her
fringe benefits, vacation time, training program enrollment, or pension fund. Intranets
obviously require extensive security measures to prevent inappropriate changing or accessing
of data. The issues seem to have been addressed, however, and HRM products are
increasingly emphasizing their functionality in intranet environments.
Another variant is the extranet. Again, relying on World Wide Web technology, such
systems allow organizations to interact with clients in a secure environment that mimics the
Internet. Thus a health insurance company might establish an extranet that links to the
intranets of its major clients. Employees in client organizations can then connect to the
insurance vendor's extranet from within the employer's intranet environment in order to
check on the status of their policies, obtain coverage information, file claims, and follow-up
on outstanding claims.
Human resources operations challenge organizations with a dualistic yet interdependent set
of outcomes. One summons organizational change that may be perceived as a threat to the
status quo, while the other set of outcomes gives highly valuable potential benefits for
organizational performance. This paradox stems from the requirement for U.S. businesses to
improve productivity from their skilled workers in order to satisfy the demand shift from
manufacturing to technological and intellectual innovations (Cascio, 1998; Robbins, 1998).
This transformation means that both organizational productivity gains and competitive
advantage depend on high quality worker competence. In other words, increasing
productivity through people is now paramount. Consequently, essential human resource
functions have recently become even more critical to general organizational well-being.
15
To achieve these complex objectives, many organizations have turned to information
systems technology (Haines, & Petit, 1997; Richards-Carpenter, 1997; Simon, & Werner,
1996). The reliance on technology has deceptively been prompting the false assumption that
HRM is synonymous with computerized human resource information systems. In reality,
computer technology is not required for a successful HRM function, and many HRM
activities still defy computer automation (Grossman, & Magnus, 1988; Haines, & Petit,
1997; Simon, & Werner, 1996). Nevertheless, computer based information technology serves
as a tremendous tool for operationalizing HRM applications. Many related tasks such as
rapid information dissemination and feedback would be impractical or impossible without
computerized support (Benjamin, & Benson, 1986; DeSanctis, 1986; Haines, & Petit, 1997).
With this major charge, information systems technology has introduced wide spread
implementation of human resource information systems that more fully allow organizational
members to participate in information sharing and decision-making. Indeed, past studies
have shown that over 90 percent of organizations have a formalized and separate HRM
department or an equivalent function (Cholak, & Simon, 1991; Richards-Carpenter, 1997).
Nearly all organizations have actually implemented some form of HRM Anonymous, 1996;
Richards-Carpenter, 1997). However, these applications vary widely from organization to
organization, and there is equal diversity in the resultant benefits (Cholak, & Simon, 1991;
Haines, & Petit, 1997; Richard-Carpenter, 1997).
Preliminary research shows that successful HRM operations are identified by such outcomes
as organizational competence; i.e, meeting strategic goals (Thomas, 2001; Pierce, &
Newstrom, 2002). Furthermore, successful HRM functions support such key processes as
executive decision-making, employee training, technology selection, interdepartmental
integration, and organizational reporting structures (DeSanctis, 1986; Haines, & Petit, 1997;
Richards-Carpenter, 1996). While such studies provide valuable insights into HRM
implementation, their generalizability is limited due to the absence of a comprehensive
foundation in which to contextually base these findings (Kovach, & Kathcart, 1999; Kuhn,
1996; Weick, 1979).
16
All indications are that HRISs will continue to play an increasingly important role in the
HRM field. An important driving factor is that HRISs facilitate process reengineering in the
HRM area, thus promoting greater efficiency. Functions that, once, were carried out
manually and in many steps can often be largely automated. And the business firm's
continuing demand for information to facilitate planning and strategy formulation will
necessitate further reliance on HRISs. Finally, the linking of HRISs to organizational
intranets is apt to gain in popularity as a relatively inexpensive and appealing means of
gathering and distributing human resource information.
The objectives of this project report have been manifolds. In general, the purpose of
the project is to have in-depth analysis and knowledge (personal details) about all the
employees of all the departments. In a larger perspective the project aimed at finding out the
complete details of the employees, so that the HR department can contact them in the case of
emergency or official purpose. This study is the starting point for further analysis.
It is hoped that a more detailed study can use a survey instrument developed from the
results found here. Understanding how to teach.
If a given HRM is to have any value at all to HR then information should be based on
two factors:
Scope of Study
17
The scope formulation is the first step to a successful Research process. Project undertaken
the problem of analyzing the Human Resource Management.
To keep things in mind that as the ever-changing competitive business environment. New
thoughts and ideas should pour into its, Research & Development to innovate its existing
products which should be beyond competitors’ comprehension.
This study enables the user with answer to formulate an effective marketing mix strategy
with a broader prospective to tap areas where it did not feel the need earlier, hence the
decision of whether to penetrate this section or not can be found out at the end of the data
analysis.
It also gives an idea of the potential of our business in the future & the fluctuation in prices
from time to time & from product to product.

Hypothesis 4: The alignment between HR policies and organizational goals at Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation (DMRC) enhances employee motivation and commitment.
Research Questions:
4. To what extent does the alignment between HR policies and organizational goals
influence employee motivation and commitment at Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
(DMRC)?
Limitation:
An HRM also can be a problematic for small businesses in which some employees must
wear many hats. Some of the disadvantages of an HRM involve human error during
information input, costly technology to update your system and malfunctions or insufficient
applications to support your human resources needs. There is a demand for computer and
technology specialists with general information technology knowledge, and finding a
qualified specialist with human resources functional area knowledge can be difficult. With
such a demand, your cost to hire an HRM specialist may be far above the average salary for
a computer technology specialist. The cost per-hire for another employee in a specialized
field may be a stretch for some small business. Although the system is efficient but
sometimes we face the problems like system slowdown or higher down times and if there is
19
some particular limitation in module than work suffers, some hr people are not comfortable
in using system efficiently so time is to be given in training for system.

USAGE AND BENFITS OF HRIS
1. NEEDS:
Costly exercise: -
Personal records, when kept manually, do not offer up-to-date information at short notice. It
was difficult to make entries. The clerical involved is quite labor-intensive and costly.
Inaccurate: -
The manual transfer of data from one record to another may increase the chances of errors.
Fragmentation: -
Information is not available at a central, easily accessible place since records are kept at
different locations.
Difficult to analyze: -
The manual analyzes of data is time consuming and quite often not readily available for
decision making purposes.
When the organization grows in size the manual system fail to offer reliable, accurate data at
short notice.
26
Skill inventory - It is also used to store record of acquired skills and monitor the skill
database both employee and organizational level.
Performance appraisal - The system should record individual employee
performance, appraisal data, such as due date of appraisal, scores etc.
Human resource planning - HRM should record details of the organizational
requirements in terms of positions
Recruitment - Record details of recruitment activities such as cost and method of
recruitment and time to fill the position etc.
Career planning - System must be able to provide with succession plans reports to
identify which employee have been earmarked for which position.
Collective bargaining - A computer terminal can be positioned in the conference
room linked to database. This will expedite negotiations by readily providing up to
date data based on facts and figures and not feelings and fictions.
3. BENEFITS:
Higher Speed of retrieval and processing of data
Reduction in duplication of efforts leading to reduced cost
Ease in classifying and reclassifying data
Better analysis leading to more effective decision making
Higher accuracy of information/report generated
Fast response to answer queries. Improved quality of reports

ADVANTAGES
The four principal areas of HR that are affected by the Human Resource Information System
(HRIS) include; payroll, time and labor management, employee benefits and HR
management. These four basic HR functionalities are not only made less problematic, but
they are ensured a smooth running, without any hitch. A Human Resources Information
System (HRIS) thus permits a user to see online a chronological history of an employee from
his /her position data, to personal details, payroll records, and benefits information.
Payroll: The advantage of a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in
payroll is that it automates the entire payroll process by gathering and updating
employee payroll data on a regular basis. It also gathers information such as
employee attendance, calculating various deductions and taxes on salaries, generating
automatic periodic paychecks and handling employee tax reports. With updated
information this system makes the job of the human resource department very easy
and simple as everything is available on a 24x7 basis, and all the information is just a
click away.
Time and Labor: In time and labor management a Human Resource Information
System (HRIS) is advantageous because it lets human resource personnel apply new
technologies to effectively gather and appraise employee time and work information.
It lets an employee's information be easily tracked so that it can be assessed on a
more scientific level whether an employee is performing to their full potential or not,
and if there are any improvements that can be made to make an employee feel more
secure.
Employee benefits: They are very crucial because they help to motivate an
employee to work harder. By using a Human Resource Information System (HRIS)
in employee benefits, the human resource department is able to keep better track of
which benefits are being availed by which employee and how each employee is
profiting from the benefits provided.
29
that is often found in most HR divisions of companies and leads to more productive and
conducive department on the whole.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is a Centre-state joint venture that operates
the Delhi Metro and Noida Metro. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is also involved in the
planning and implementation of metro rail, monorail, and high-speed rail projects in India,
and abroad.[4] The work of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is fragmented into various
parts which are controlled by directors under the direction of a managing director.
History
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. was created on 3 May 1995 with E.
Sreedharan serving as its first managing director.[5] Sreedharan handed over charge as
managing director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to Mangu Singh on 31 December
2011.
35
To mark its 10th anniversary in 2010, Delhi Metro introduced an 8 coach train for the first
time. A commemorative souvenir book titled "Delhi Metro: A Decade of Dedication, 10
Years of Metro Operations” was also released. An exclusive 'METRO SONG-zindagi hai
Delhi metro' composed by music director Vaibhav Saxena was also released and played at
metro stations and FM stations.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has made it compulsory to wear safety helmets on
construction sites. It also earns carbon credits with rainwater harvesting at metro stations and
runs an HIV/AIDS programmer for workers.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation received Outstanding PSU of the Year (2016) award
conferred by All India Management Association (AIMA). The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
was also awarded for its "Outstanding Contribution" for promoting world-class services in
Urban Transportation and adopting best practices of Project Management.
Consultancy
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has a business development department for consultancy
services. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has served as the project consultant and has
project reports (DPR) for every metro and monorail project in India, except the Kolkata
Metro and Chennai MRTS, which were constructed before the formation of the Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also provides lighter consultancy
operations, such as preparation of DPRs and feasibility reports for proposed systems in
places such as Raipur, Amritsar and Nagpur.[13] The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also
serves as consultant and prepared the DPR for the proposed Thiruvananthapuram -
Mangalore High-Speed Passenger Corridor.
In September 2012, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation entered into a partnership with eight
other international companies for management consulting for the Jakarta Mass Rapid
Transit system. This was the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's first project outside India. The
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation stated that its main responsibilities in the JV were the
36
"finalisation of the organisational structure of the Jakarta Metro, recruitment of personnel,
development of training facilities and the training of the employees for various categories
required for commencing the operations".
In February 2014, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation was invited by the Government of
Kuwait to act as a consultant for the proposed metro system in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
Implementation
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is involved with the implementation and/or construction
of Kochi Metro, Jaipur Metro, Lucknow Metro, Hyderabad Metro and Patna Metro.
The Delhi Metro Rail Academy (erstwhile DMRC Training Institute; renamed to DMRA on
18 September 2019 after a major upgrade) is a dedicated training institute that was set up and
inaugurated on 19 July 2002 in the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's Shastri Park depot. It is
the only metro rail training institute in South Asia. Over its history, the Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation has trained over 63,000 of its trainees here, along with over 2,000 staff of many
organizations, mainly metro rails, from both India and abroad. DMRA's international clients
include Jakarta MRT, Indonesia and Dhaka Metro Rail, Bangladesh, while its Indian clients
include Namma Metro, Kochi Metro, Chennai Metro, Jaipur Metro, Mumbai Metro, and
many more metros and other organizations.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology
Delhi offers a one-year postgraduate diploma in metro technology. The course produces 25
executives of various streams, viz. Electrical, Civil, Architecture, Signalling, and Telecom, a
year to staff metros across India. The Indian Institute of Technology Madras also offers a
similar course for the Chennai Metro.

Human resources managers have a great deal of responsibility within their companies, so
prior working experience in the human resources field is essential.
One of the key functions of a human resources manager is leading the company in
developing, implementing, and auditing personnel policies and procedures. In order to ensure
the company meets its compliance requirements, a human resources manager must have a
solid understanding of applicable local, national, and international employment and Labor
Law. Human resources managers are also tasked with ensuring that the company’s
employees receive adequate training on the company’s policies and procedures.
38
OBJECTIVES:
Human resource management's objective, on the other hand, is to maximize the return on
investment from the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk. It is the
responsibility of human resource managers in a corporate context to conduct these activities
in an effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner .

A number of trends seem to have contributed to a growing reliance on computers as
information-processing and decision-aiding tools in HRM. The emergence of the human
resource management field (versus personnel administration) gave the human resource
function greater credibility within the managerial hierarchy, necessitating more sophisticated
use of information, especially as it related to the strategic management function. Firms have
40
experienced increased competitive pressures that have translated into greater cost
containment demands from upper management, leading to greater automation of the record-
keeping function in the HRM field. The ready availability of microcomputers and relatively
user friendly software means, that to an increasing extent, human resource managers are no
longer dependent on information system professionals to develop and implement
applications (which might be assigned a lower priority than other management functions).
Many HRM departments in larger organizations have also developed internal information
system capabilities, so that HRM units have been established.

organization, and there is equal diversity in the resultant benefits (Cholak, & Simon, 1991;
Haines, & Petit, 1997; Richard-Carpenter, 1997).
Preliminary research shows that successful HRM operations are identified by such outcomes
as organizational competence; i.e, meeting strategic goals (Thomas, 2001; Pierce, &
Newstrom, 2002). Furthermore, successful HRM functions support such key processes as
executive decision-making, employee training, technology selection, interdepartmental
integration, and organizational reporting structures (DeSanctis, 1986; Haines, & Petit, 1997;
Richards-Carpenter, 1996). While such studies provide valuable insights into HRM
implementation, their generalizability is limited due to the absence of a comprehensive
foundation in which to contextually base these findings (Kovach, & Kathcart, 1999; Kuhn,
1996; Weick, 1979).
All indications are that HRISs will continue to play an increasingly important role in the
HRM field. An important driving factor is that HRISs facilitate process reengineering in the
HRM area, thus promoting greater efficiency. Functions that, once, were carried out
manually and in many steps can often be largely automated. And the business firm's
continuing demand for information to facilitate planning and strategy formulation will
necessitate further reliance on HRISs. Finally, the linking of HRISs to organizational
intranets is apt to gain in popularity as a relatively inexpensive and appealing means of
gathering and distributing human resource information.

LIMITATIONS
An HRM also can be a problematic for small businesses in which some employees
must wear many hats. Some of the disadvantages of an HRM involve human error during
information input, costly technology to update your system and malfunctions or insufficient
applications to support your human resources needs. There is a demand for computer and
technology specialists with general information technology knowledge, and finding a
qualified specialist with human resources functional area knowledge can be difficult. With
such a demand, your cost to hire an HRM specialist may be far above the average salary for
a computer technology specialist. The cost per-hire for another employee in a specialized
field may be a stretch for some small business. Although the system is efficient but
sometimes we face the problems like system slowdown or higher down times and if there is
some particular limitation in module than work suffers, some hr people are not comfortable
in using system efficiently so time is to be given in training for system.

which people are managed in an organization. Many decision-making strategies are
based on HR analysis, which is used to determine whether current HR capabilities are
congruent with the desired organizational objectives. The development of HRM
applications that cater to the needs of human resources is very important. From a broader
perspective, an HRM yields a well-managed business with better informed employees.
The implementation of HRM applications results in two benefits: a) Efficiency of
operations and streamlined HR administration. b) Effectiveness when management can
spend more time in decision-making and strategic planning, and less time on information
input and day-to-day HR administration. In summary, this report has revealed the
following:

reallocates work processes and thus provides competitive advantage and adds
strategic value to the organization.
HR managers must make use of HRM to achieve improved performance and
removing routine administration allows them to become professional consultants to
the rest of the organization.
