The central theme of this book is that Human Resource Development and Preservation of the Environment are two important factors in promoting growth and development. One very important issue, in Human Resource Development which has received both extensive and intensive coverage in social science literature and in policy making discussions at national and supra-national organisations during the last two decades, is the Gender issue. But, since there is a nexus between women and the environment, the environmental issues also need to be pondered over in all policies for promoting growth and development. Hence, a number of important issues relating to Human Resource Development, Gender and Environment have been discussed in the essays included in this book.
