Abstract

human Resource development is very crucial for achieving higher levels of socio-economic development in both developed and developing countries. The value of human development Index (HDI) is much higher in the countries with higher levels of investment in HRD and vice versa. The less populous counties have been striving to invest more in HRD, as they cannot afford to waste their limited and precious human resources. Even the most developed country like USA with higher investment in HRD is still depending on the human resources of developing countries like india to meet its requirement of skilled manpower in certain important sectors of its economy. Therefore the development of a country or an organization or a person to a greater extent is determined by the investment in HRD.

The human resources of a country play a vital role in determining its progress and prosperity. Some countries with rich physical resources cannot develop if they have scarce human resources or inadequate investment in HRD. The countries with abundant human resources can not develop fast without adequate investment in HRD and where as the developed countries with scarce human resources are trying to develop fast with higher investment in HRD. In this modern age of technology and globalization, investment for improving the quality of human resource is considered very important as it significantly contributes to the development of nation in general and achievement of goals of the individuals and the organization in particular.

In the world competition the quality of human resource has become an essential factor in determining the success of any organization. According to Adi Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd., "all corporate strengths are dependent on people". human resource of an organization is one of the unique assets to the organization and it is essential for an organization to gain more competitive advantage over its global competitors. Therefore, there is a need for the organizations and individuals/ employees to be more conscious about the investments and the initiatives for HRD.
