What SEBI asks, verbatim
Details of training given to employees and workers
For employees and workers (permanent and other than permanent, by gender): total count, number/percentage trained on health and safety measures, and number/percentage trained on skill upgradation. Disclose for current and previous FY.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 111.
In plain English
The company must report how many employees and workers it trained on health and safety and on skill upgradation, broken down by gender and by permanent or non‑permanent status. It should give the total number and the percentage trained for the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year. This data usually comes from the company’s HR training records.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists the total headcount of employees and workers (permanent and non‑permanent) by gender for each fiscal year, followed by the exact number and percentage trained in health and safety and in skill upgradation, again broken down by gender and employment type. The data should be presented in a tabular format that aligns with the BRSR template, with footnotes explaining any changes in classification or training methodology between years. A common gap is omitting the gender breakdown for non‑permanent staff, which assurers flag as incomplete.

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.
