The central purpose of Human Resource Development (HRD) is to unleash human potential within an individual. HRD is a people development function in all forms of organizations. The basic philosophy is to help all employees recognize and realize their full potential as human beings, so that individuals, teams and organizations can achieve their objectives both effectively and efficiently. The strategic goal of modern firms is to create organizations which are more intelligent and flexible than their competitors by hiring and developing more talented human resources and by extending their skill base. During the eighties, Japanese management practices clearly indicated that business success based on high standards of performance was dependent on a highly trained and developed workforce.

The basic elements associated with the concept of HRD are education, training, development, and learning. Education is defined as `activities which aim to develop the knowledge, skills, moral values and understanding required in all aspects of life rather than a knowledge and skill relating to only a limited field of activity.` Training is learning that is provided in order to improve performance of an individual in the present job. It is a planned process to modify attitude, knowledge or skill behaviour through learning experience to achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities.

In fact, human resource development is culture-specific, nation-specific, industry-specific, organization-specific and situation-specific. It would be futile if we air-lift a specific culture of an organization and straightway implement in our organization. Consciously and with due care, we have to design, develop and implement the human resource development philosophy, policies, processes. programmes and practices (5Ps). The gap analysis among the five Ps would provide first-hand information about the gap between realities and practices of the organization and in turn help us understand the gap and the remedial measures to be adopted.

This book, therefore, aims at narrowing down the gap between HR philosophy and practice and the implications of this book would result in the growth, development and excellence of human capital of different organizations and institutions.
