What SEBI asks, verbatim
Percentage coverage by training and awareness programmes on any of the principles during the financial year
For each segment (Board of Directors, KMPs, Employees other than BoD & KMPs, Workers): disclose total number of training/awareness programmes held, topics/principles covered and impact, and percentage of persons in respective category covered.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 84.
In plain English
The report wants you to say what percent of each group—board members, key managers, other employees, and workers—got training or awareness sessions on any of the principles during the year. You should list how many sessions were held, what topics were covered, and the impact, then calculate the percentage of people in each group who attended. This data usually comes from your HR training records and attendance sheets.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists the total number of training or awareness programmes conducted for each segment, the specific ESG principles or topics covered in each session, and the number of participants in that segment who attended. It then calculates the coverage percentage by dividing the number of participants by the total headcount in the segment, presenting the result to at least one decimal place. Assurers look for a clear linkage between the programme topics and the principle, a documented attendance register, and a reconciliation of the coverage figures with the organization’s HR data; a common gap is failing to provide the attendance register or to disaggregate the coverage by sub‑segments within the broader categories.

Where the data comes from
Usually found in board records and compliance registers. Forward to your Company Secretary or Legal team.
Much of what BRSR asks for already exists in filings the company makes elsewhere, such as Pollution Control Board consents, PAT returns, hazardous-waste manifests and EPR registrations. The free gap analysis cross-references those filings against all 108 fields and shows which are already covered.
