The document discusses human resource development in India. It notes that the HRD ministry has two departments - school education and higher education. Kapil Sibal currently heads the HRD ministry. While abolishing 10th board exams may seem like a welcome step, it leaves a vacuum that will be hard to fill in an age of global competition. Overall, the goal of human resource development is to equip people to fully participate in society by finding or creating work and benefiting from it.

When you are inspired by some great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds,
your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new,
great and wonderful world.
Dormant forces,
faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be
a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
