Description
INTRODUCTION Economic growth, social welfare and prosperity of a nation depend on its natural resources and the physical capabilities as well as mental health of its citizens. However, the intellectual talent of the people is more important than natural resources. Natural resources like coal and minerals, precious stones and metals may be the proud possession of a nation, but perhaps more important than this is the human genius that can explore, locate and exploit this treasure and add to the country's material and cultural growth and development. The major instrument that facilitates this development is education. Education is being increasingly recognized as a vehicle for upward social mobility. Professional education is the principal means of developing the human resource. This includes education and training of engineers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, librarians, computer personnel's and administrators. Every nation spends a lot of money on development of professional individuals.
