Delivering a talk on ‘Rural management’, jointly organised by the Mangalore Institute of Management and the Mangalore chapter of the National Institute of Personnel Management here, L.H. Manjunath, Executive Director of the Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP), said there is paradox between district-to-district and State-to-State in various human resource parameters.

Stating that the farm sector in the country is growing at a rate of 3 per cent a year, he said the service sector is growing at much faster pace. It is to be remembered here that the entire country’s growth depends on farm sector growth, he said.
