Dear Soniya,
It is not such a big issue. I know that since you are a fresher brimming with ideas and have joined a small sized company, you feel you want to implement new things and learn more of practical HR.
Since the size of the company is small, the first thing you can do is to draft policies for employees. You can look at drafting policies for Leave, Attendance, salary payment, travel, accommodation, employee benefits which are currently in force.
As a next step, you can look at implementing an appraisal system for the employees. This can be a simple format, with measurement of goals and reward.
Further, you can look at implementing a policy for employee life cycle. I.e. Recruitment, Joining formalities, orientation, transfer, separation.
Do understand that a lot that we learn in our business schools may not be practical to be implemented, since it varies with industry, size of employees, city, culture of the organisation etc. A lot can be gained from looking at best practices in other companies and brushing up your knowledge. Even if we try, we cannot change the world overnight.
In management parlance, try to pick the low hanging fruits and then look at newer ideas and implementations. All the best.

Is the training the only thing that you feel you want to do, and has already been done before? The best thing to do would be to ask the Seniors on what has been done till now. And work on the policy/ next course of action accordingly.
The key to success to any policy or change is to look at what works in the organisation and implement accordingly. Getting the key stake holders (Management, Heads, Employees) involved in any major policy decision or process change will always yield positive results.
