Human resources have been seen as one of the most important resources on earth. For, without the information, knowledge and wisdom accumulated by humans over centuries, the natural resources would not be perceived and utilised as resources and civilisation would not have evolved as it has. The volumes focus on the importance of human resources, covering aspects of human resources availability and use, problems in development of human resources and challenges to overcome in with specific reference to India. The articles reproduced from different journals published in India and abroad deal with theories, models and principles underlying human resource development. They focus on issues relating to population and sustainable management for resources and regional dimensions of human resource development. They study aspects relating to Census mapping, demographic data for decentralised planning, population stabilisation, population and disasters, migration and urban and regional planning, women's health, mortality and rural society. They link population growth to food security, environment and delve into education, rural labour resources, social differentiation of tribal population in transition among other themes. Referring to various developments and giving relevant data to support the text, the articles stress on inter-disciplinary research on population and other issues that confront the Indian society today, the need for gender equity, equality and justice, and the importance of action programmes to improve the social concerns relating to population, education and employment. The volumes would benefit readers and researchers of geography as well as those of other social science disciplines. The editors of the volume are distinguished geographers of India.
