The article addresses specific issues related to the legal regulation of the institution of training and continuing professional education for em-ployees provided directly by their employers in the Republic of India. The author examines the regulatory framework governing this area of public relations and notes that Indian legislation has recently begun to place increased emphasis on supporting representatives of lower castes and tribal communities. This support includes additional measures from both the state and employers to ensure their right to on-the-job training is effectively implemented. The article concludes by identifying key challenges in the legal regulation of this institution in India. It is emphasized that, as in the Russian Federation, there is a need in India to coor-dinate the efforts of employees, employers, and the state in order to achieve opti-mal outcomes in the system of lifelong learning and professional development.
