    Stages of HRD Evolution

    1. Early Training Programmes Arranged by Shopkeepers:


    In the early stage of industrialization skilled artisan used to produce
    household goods. With the increasing demand of their products, they
    started giving training to their workers and sometimes they used to keep
    extra manpower. These people were trained some-time with pay or without
    pay.

    2. Early Vocational Education Programmes in USA:


    With the objective to providing vocational training to unskilled young and
    unemployed people Mr. D. Clinton established a vocational school in New
    York City in USA in early beginning of the nineteenth century. This was
    accepted and got popularity slowly. Further it provided training to
    unemployed with criminal records.

    3. Early Factory Schools in Developed Countries:


    With the development of science and technology, new machines and
    equipment were introduced in manufacturing. This led to industrialization
    in developed countries first mainly. The manual workers were replaced by
    machines. Under scientific management principles advocated by Henry
    Fayol and F.W. Taylor the importance of machines in production system for
    better and efficient performance was realized.

    4. Early Training Programmes for Semi-Skilled and Unskilled


    Workers:
    In the beginning training was only given to skilled workers and not to
    unskilled or semi-skilled workers. In 1913 a model of car for mass public
    known as model T was produced by Ford Company. It used an assembly
    line to produce this car with the help of semi-skilled workers. The assembly
    line production technique reduced the production cost and it was possible
    to provide a car at lower price.
    5. Human Relations Movement:
    Due to industrialization the production started at large-scale. The demand
    of products increased due to two World Wars and increased population.
    Workers were asked to work for longer hours, with very poor working
    conditions at a meagre salary and unfavourable attitude of the
    management. It can be said that they were exploited in the factory system.
    The deplorable condition of workers became reason of anti-factory
    campaign at national level. It was led by Mary Parker Follett and Lillian
    Gilberth and it was known as human relations movement. Under this
    movement it was advocated that the workers are human being and not a
    part of the machine.

    6. Establishment of New Training Programme:


    The demand of military weapons and equipment increased further due to
    outbreak of World War II. Industries were asked to support the war efforts
    by manufacturing military weapons. It was needed to re-arrange the
    production facilities at large-scale to meet the need of the war. Demand of
    skilled workers increased further.

    7. Emergence of Human Resource Development Concept:


    After World War the importance of human resource was realized more in
    comparison with the past. The trained instructors realize that their role is
    not limited to classroom training. They can play an important role outside
    of classroom also. They started coaching, counselling and problem-solving
    activities.

    8. HRD Concept and Philosophy:


    The new challenges are faced by the management The challenges faced by
    business organisations are how to improve profitability, tune products and
    services as per changing need of customers and organisational development
    to stay in competitive race of business. To tackle this situation the different
    experts suggested different activities and management has recognized the
    development of competency of people, coordination between people at
    different levels, minimizing production costs and improving productivity.
