The Army is employing a new psychology-based e-platform developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to define training requirements and assess human behaviour at individual as well as organisational level.
Referred to as the Organisational Effectiveness and Competence Building Training Management System, a prototype has been recently installed at the Shimla-based Army Training Command, the apex formation that oversees all doctrinal and training aspects of the Army. Over the past years, ARTRAC and its subordinate training establishments have inducted a large number of computer-aided training and assessment tools and simulators.

The web-based real-time training management system, named Sabera, comprises a user and an administrator interface. The individual level can be used for assessing individuals in leadership style, their strength and the areas they may like to include in their personal development programme.
The organisational level is meant for maintaining a human resource inventory, designing customised training programmes and as a personalised automated training aid. The system can also be used for human resource management. Sabera has already undergone rigorous tests at Category-A training establishments.
