"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)
