5 Human Resources

People are a nation’s greatest resource. Nature’s bounty
becomes significant only when people find it useful. It
is people with their demands and abilities that turn
them into ‘resources’. Hence, human resource is the
ultimate resource. Healthy, educated and motivated
people develop resources as per their requirements.
Human resources like other resources are not
equally distributed over the world. They differ in their
educational levels, age and sex. Their numbers and
characteristics also keep changing.
