"In this book both the micro as well as the macro approach has been perceptibly undertaken in several papers--which elaborate on the expanding role and contribution of human resources in strengthening the social sector. A committed attempt has been made to study the lacuna, problems and implications of this sector's performance along with remedies and suggestions in this regard." (jacket)
