Though the modern conceptualization and evolution of corporate social responsibility has spread its roots far and wide in an explicit manner, the Indian scriptures have always called for a consideration of broader social responsibility in individual action. Infact, the concept of Dharma is expansive to an extent that it contemplates the innate characteristics of not only human beings rather all the entities of this universe. With Dharma as the core principle governing the functioning of Indian society in ancient times, the nation never faced any need of explicit rules of corporate social responsibility. All individuals indulged in actions that were deemed appropriate for the individual, organizational, societal, national, and universal well-being. In present context, if the concept of Dharma can be highlighted and brought to practice again, then it will raise new possibilities for business organizations. An integrative and holistic approach would be possible for business organizations which will deem profitability along with prosperity for all stakeholders in a natural way.

We identified two human resource management practices that positively influence intellectual capital. Survey data were collected from 1013 employees of a large Indian company leader in the food product market. Structural equations modelling results showed that intellectual capital positively affects the job attitudes examined, although differences emerged between the three dimensions of intellectual capital. Specifically, human capital and relational capital did not directly affect employees' job satisfaction and retention. Our results identified two measures of human resource management practices (communication & alignment) that positively influenced intellectual capital and also contributed to the improvement of employees' job satisfaction and retention. Our findings may help managers design and implement intervention programmes and policies for effective intellectual capital management.

This study investigated the quality and quantity of human resource development (HRD) and analyzed its impact on agricultural productivity and household income in rural areas of J and K. It was observed that there has been a differential endowment of land and water resources across different agro-climatic locations in the state. Chi-square estimates indicated significant difference across agro-climatic zones of the state with respect to the accumulation of quality and quantity of HRD. Moreover, the household income was higher in the zone which has maximum value for composite HRD index. The OLS estimates indicated an important role of human resources in determining agricultural productivity and farm household income. As evident from influence on R2 values in each model for all zones, HRD variables have more contribution in enhancement of agricultural productivity and rural income than capital and land though the role of quality of HRD was more significant. Based upon findings, the study put forth few policy suggestions for the sustained accumulation of human capital. Study suggests that inter-regional differences in socio-economic indicators need to be considered while framing HRD strategies so it could be location specific.
