Question : INTRODUCTION OF HRD SUBJECT AS SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL

(a) whether the Government has decided to introduce Human Resource Development as a subject from secondary school; and

(b) if so, the details thereof?

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI M.A.A. FATMI):

(a) and (b) There is no decision to introduce Human Resource Development as a school subject. As Human Resource Development is an all-encompassing concept, which includes education and every other means of maximizing the individual`s creativity and productivity, the same cannot be a separate subject or topic. Knowledge should, in fact, be imparted in a holistic manner and children should not be exposed to bits and pieces of new knowledge.
