The CTYM as an HRD intervention for young managers in SAIL has been designed in the form of a competition to bring out the best young employees by providing them a platform for self-development through reading and research and at the same time allowing them an opportunity to present their views before the top management of SAIL. This annual event in SAIL essentially envisages teams of two to three executives carrying out empirical research on a specific theme, preparing a write-up and presenting a paper before a panel of judges.
