Some people say efficient management of human resources of a nation is the best way to achieve long-term development goals whereas there is another view that it involves many other factors than just human resource management.

• Discuss both the views.

Opinions may differ on how a nation can achieve long term development goals. But not many would deny the view that it involves several different factors. In my opinion, wise human resource management is the most crucial of those factors.

It is a fact that all development exercises are carried out more by human resource than by anything else. Let me cite an example. Research and Development (R&D) is crucial for achieving long term goals. Who is going to do these? No doubt, it is people. Right people I would say. So, it is mandatory that right human resource needs to be identified, developed, deployed and directed rightly according to needs. If this is done time to time, there is great scope for development, and achieving future goals may not be that difficult for any nation. It is the best way of course.

However, we cannot ignore other factors that contribute to future expectations. The primary thing is that there needs a stable system of government with great vision to achieve things time to time. What follows this is political will. What I mean is that administrators, political heads and intellectuals should be there all the way to chalk out plans and projects. It is their will to take the nation forward that makes the rest follow. So, a stable government, political will and experts to give a sense of direction are the other decisive factors.

Discussing both the views, what I feel is that long term development milestones are possible only if there is concerted effort from all quarters. Human resource management is the first thing, but the rest are not unimportant either. I feel so.
