Synopsis The study addresses itself to a comprehensive, total approach to people problems through achieving a return on investment in human resources, human time being the largest single operating cost for most enterprises. The study confronts the most complex and challenging demand made on management – that of managing people. In today’s humanized era, every manager from the chief executive of the largest corporation down through the first-line supervisor in the smallest unit needs to understand the respond to the impact the return on investment in human resources has on both daily operating activity and economic results. In India, we have a huge population of more than hundred crores. Managing such a crowd of humanity is a big problem. What is more, almost all the models, approaches and theories of human resource management of the West Scarcely use labour since there is acute scarcity of labour in those countries. On the contrary, in India, we have abundance of labour, acute poverty and illiteracy. If we follow the models of the est in this country, they become counter productive. Our problems further multiply. The present study attempts to have a fresh look at the problem from the Indian perspective with special reference to Gandhi.
