Dear Pooja Singh,
Whether a Management Trainee (MT) or an employee if he/she is required to be given induction training at a location different from the duty location, then it is the company's responsibility to make arrangements for the travel, accommodation and local conveyance at the distant station.
Please note that though called an MT, the sooner the person joins your organisation, he/she ceases to be the "candidate". Therefore, please treat her at par with a regular employee.
While writing the above, let me believe the term MT has been used in the proper context. Otherwise, while undergoing an academic course if the student joins an organisation to gain practical work experience, the student is called an "Industrial Trainee" (IT). The IT's are given some industrial allowance, however, the work facilities are at par with the regular employees.
To promote the brand image of the company, a few companies give the best perks to the MTs or even to the ITs. This helps in attracting the best talent.
Thanks,

Dear Pooja,
Treat her as a regular employee and it is your responsibility to make arrangements accordingly as per company policy. If you don't have any policy then you can prepare and implement policy under employees welfare.

Your question and details is more confusing. In simple terms what I understand is the employee will be taken as MT. He/She will be reporting at Bangalore, and after 3 weeks of her being in Bangalore she will sent for Management Trainng near Pune (you simply mention out of Pune). After successful training you will be posted out of Bombay at our plant/office/Unit as a Management Trainee for a period of ........months.
Here the specific period is right from the date of the person reporting at Bangalore will be counted or after they are sent for training, their date of start will be counted as a MT.
Here first the person is joining you at Bangalore and therefore he is your employee whatever position you call him by designation. As the company is sending him for training all the expenses for travel accommodation and food is to your account. Also if he is directly required to report outside Bombay then too the travel is your company account.
In other words: If you are directly sending him to report to your Training centre then also you should reimburse him his travel expenses from his house to the Training Centre and return after the training.
As the company expects his employees to learn their policy and work ethics by training it is company's expenses to arrange everything.
HR should look up a little higher than the ground level when their company's prestige is before you which is represented by your employees.
