The enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 has brought a number of provisions which will help the directors and the companies to ensure better corporate governance. The learning curve of understanding the functioning of the board is considerably shortened by putting in place a well-structured training programme for all directors, focused at bringing forth the best practices and qualitatively informing the directors of the legal as well as socio-economic regime they are functioning in. IOD has also setup a special wing called 'Organization for Non-Executive Independent Directors', mandated to look after the placement of Independent Directors in India.
