Abstract

From Preface: A Major goal of development planning is eradication of unemployment. 'Man power Planning' is gaining greater importance in the development process. The essence of 'Man power Planning' is to match employment generation with the demand for work. Demand for jobs is highly dispersed not only regionally but also by ages, sex and class of workers. It is also fragmented in terms of timing and duration for a large number of the unemployed. The economy now faces the paradox of unemployment of the trained and untrained personnel and also the shortage of hands in several areas.
