I had posted earlier about the HR talent shortage which exits in the country today.

Today, HR managers are in great demand, with an estimated 5,00,000 required across industries . But there exists a shortage to the tune of 40%,” Father NCasimir Raj, SJ, director of XLRI,. “This apart, the attrition rate is high as people are not sure what areas they can excel in. The training has been designed to check these trends,” he added.

XLRI has been taking the lead in partnering with Industry and even State Govt. to train and set standards in developing competencies for HR roles.
