Enhancing Human Resource Management for Sustainable Educational Development: A Study of Tehri District

Abstract

Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of educational institutions. In developing regions such as Tehri District of Uttarakhand, educational progress is closely linked with the effective management of human resources, including teachers, administrators, and support staff. This study examines the existing HRM practices in the education sector of Tehri District and evaluates their impact on educational development. Using a mixed-methods approach involving survey data, interviews, and secondary sources, the research identifies critical gaps in recruitment, training, performance appraisal, motivation, and retention of educational personnel. The paper proposes a strategic HRM framework aimed at strengthening institutional capacity, improving teacher performance, and fostering inclusive educational growth in the district. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, educational planners, and administrators seeking sustainable reforms in human resource management within the education sector.
