Industry-Academia Collaboration
for HR Development
Pralok Gupta |
India is the second most
populated country of the
world. Recent estimates
of World Development
Indicators of the World
Bank put India’s population at
1,139,964,932 persons in 2008.
Though this huge population poses
various challenges to take care
of, it also creates opportunity to
become largest pool of talented
and skilled workforce. This is
particularly true if we see the
demographic characteristics of
Indian population. Almost 40% of
Indians are younger than 15 years
of age. India is likely to add 150
million people in the age group
20-59 in the next 15 years. Thus,
there is a tremendous opportunity
for India to become intellectual
super power of the world. The
conversion of this opportunity
into strength requires proper
development of its most important
resource, ‘human capital’. The
liberalization of Indian economy and consequent growth poses new
challenges for development and
management of this human capital.
It also creates opportunities for
active corporate involvement and
industry-academia collaboration to
equip new generation with modern
knowledge, skills and techniques.
Human resource development
is concerned with providing
opportunities to realize one’s
potential to the fullest. Typical
understanding of human resource
development is from a job and
corporate perspective. However,
this article takes an integrated and
comprehensive approach to such
development and is of the opinion
that intellectual development
process start at the early stage of a
child. Therefore, adequate human
resource development requires
institutional intervention at the
very beginning of formal education
and may become a continuous
process.
