Dear Friends,
The function of Human resource development in the country has a glorious past. It has a promising future too. There have been many people who have not only simply contributed but studied in depth, researched, defined, developed theories, concepts, applied and further developed tools to make a better India in terms of human resources. Few of such persons worked quietly through out their life and many still are contributing but irony is that they have not been recognized well barring few.
Yes! They are legends of HRD. Being a legend in any field is not just one considering themselves as legend but it is derived most from how the rest of the world consider them. It is a strong matter of perception based on the work they have put before people and how people received it, how their work impacted the life of people, how industries and organizations adopted it and how coming generation is guided and benefited by their work at large.
Being a legend doesn’t solely consist of being good at something, being well known for a short period of time, or simply being famous or rich-it has to be beyond that, which means one has done something within his life that has changed the way of thinking of the society and world at large, inspired many and has done something which was not done earlier. One thing which no one can take away from a legend is his legacy, his thought and contribution to community towards shaping lives of people.
People remember and admire legends for a long time from the deep of their hearts because legends prefer to go against all odds, travel the road less traveled, or never before traveled and leave their imprints for generation to follow
What made us to bring out an issue on Legends of HRD? Simply because it struck to us when researched, not much is made known and documented about them and their work in the country except few ones. It was a daunting task to identify gems in glittery world. For ourselves, we decided some parameters and that were:
1. Contributions ranging over around 30 -40 years or above 60 years of age
2. Publications: Preferably impact making books
3. Impact making teaching or facilitating learning large numbers
4. Impact making change introduced in organizations or Government etc.
5. Character and values.
We sought support of many including TV Rao learning Systems in making this issue a reality and we got their immense support for which we express our sincere thanks.
BM doesn’t claim that the personalities included in this issue are the only one and final. There might have been others also left inadvertently as we could not reach to them or some did not respond to our request in time frame but we tried our best to mark of as many as possible in respect of living and well as past legends of HRD falling in our criteria.
BM proudly presents the anniversary issue with living legends of HRD as well as with who have left us, before readers to know more about them, their work and impact they have made in respect of HRD.
In this issue we are compelled to withdraw our regular features due to to space constraint. Hope readers will forgive us for this limitation.
