How are human resources useful to a country ?

The nature has gifted our country in many ways. We have good and fertile soil, plenty of water, variety of forests and rich mineral wealth. The proper utilization of these natural resources depends upon wise, skilful and healthy human resources. The man power or population of a country are known as its human resources.

India is a vast country. From Kashmir to Kanniya Kumari and from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh crores of people of different races and religions live in different parts of the country. They speak different languages, have different customs and put on different dresses, yet they are one. They are all Indians. They are one nation. Our country has a vast population and vast human resources.

India now has a large poo) of scientists, engineers, doctors and other skilled persons. In sports India has produced sports persons of international fame. Such as Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, P.T. Usha, Milkha Singh, Dhyan Chand, Tenzing Norgay, Bachendri Pal and many others have international fame, in music Pandit Ravi Shankar has earned international fame. India has also achieved top positions in international beauty contests. Its participants Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen and Manpreet Brar have won top positions. Therefore we have quite rich in human resources.

We learn that in India population is counted after every ten years. It is known as census. The population of 36 crores in 1951 has become 86 crores in 1991. It has increased by 50 crores in a period of 40 years. The population of our country is growing very rapidly. It is estimated to have crossed 99 crores in 1998. This rapid increase in the population has made India an over-populated country. It means that in comparison to area and natural resources our population is too much in numbers. The advanced countries of the world have large areas and natural resources and less population. That is why they are rich, while India is poor.
