Abstract


Human resources hold a key position in the economic development. The real strength of the country and its institutions depends upon the capabilities of their people. Only dynamic employees can build dynamic organizations. Human Resource Development has gained prominence and focus in management especially in the 21st century. Moreover, human resources being the most significant and active factor of production, and also considered the centre area of a development processes of the economy. The great Chinese sage Chung Tree said as long back as in the 7th Century BC : "if you wish to plan for a year sow seeds: If you wish to plan for ten years, plant a tree and if you wish to plan for a lifetime, develop men. Adam smith, Karl Marx and several classical and modern economists have emphasized the importance of human resources and focused on labour dexterity and skill development. In the Indian concept of HRD, education and culture constitute the core of the strategy. However, it is not education in the narrow sense of schooling, but a broad concept encompassing health, nutrition, employment, science and technology, equality and special attention to weaker groups, education being used as an instrument of people development and access to opportunities and facilities in all these areas. In this sense the core concept of HRD as used in India is not as widely divergent from that in Jakarta Declaration on HRD as might appear prima facie. This will become clear in subsequent content when we consider instrumentalities of implementation and programme content.
