Training is the process of teaching or learning the skills you need to be a teacher in a school. This article studies the effectiveness of training on Male Primary Teachers of West Bengal during the period of Sarva Siksha Avijaan (SSA). It uses a feature of the Primary Education system in which some teachers have been receiving different training during District Primary Education Programme (1997-2002) and Sarva Siksha Avijan (2002-2014). Four categories of teachers are included in the sample viz. experienced trained teachers, experienced untrained primary teachers, trained novice teachers and untrained novice teachers. To identify the effects, we use structured schedule containing thirteen independent variables viz. age of teacher(X1), education of teacher(X2), resourcefulness(X3), size of family(X4), distance from the school(X5), number of leave enjoyed last year(X6), social cosmopoliteness(X7), status of TL materials used (X8), training limitation(X9), feedback response from training(X10), attitude towards training(X11), suggestion towards improvement of training programmes(X12), and improvement of academic environment through training(X13) against dependent variable training effectiveness index(Y). The findings are: (1) variables like education of teacher(X2), social cosmopoliteness(X7), status of TL materials used (X8), training limitation(X9), and feedback response from training(X10) had significant bearing on training effectiveness index(Y) and (2) variables like training limitation(X9), and feedback response from training(X10) have been found to exercise significant regressional effect on the training effectiveness index.
