It is a widely accepted fact that human resources play a crucial role in the development of nations. Those countries which have developed their people by investing in sectors such as education,health, and science and technology, have achieved considerable success.Whenever they face a resource crunch,most developing nations tend to make human resource development(HRD) choices haphazardly rather than in continuous and planned manner, especially in terms of identifying human resources sectors and target groups, and in choosing appropriate processes.
