    • Section 178 (2) of the Companies Act 2013, requires the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, to carry out performance evaluation of every director of the company.

The Companies Act 2013 of India has completely changed the working environment of companies and it’s Board of Directors. Independent Directors, Women Directors, and small Shareholders’ Directors are some new classes of directorship envisioned in the Statute itself. The demand for dynamic, visionary & futuristic board members has increased substantially in India and so has the need for proper training to equip them to cope up with the rigorous competition. A Board which does not perform well and works with a lackadaisical attitude can translate into a liability for the company. In the presently circumstances when the Companies Act, 2013 itself dictates the composition of the Board it is pertinent that the statutorily appointed directors are also given adequate training in the functioning of the Board. Untrained Directors expose the company to perils which may lead to criminal prosecutions, steep fines along with loss of reputation of such directors themselves and of the company. Collective responsibilities of the full Board towards the stakeholders is a concept which is at the core of the new corporate business environment.
