Abstract: Bangladesh emerged as an independent country on December 16, 1971 with an area of 147570 square k. m. It is one of the most populous and developing country in the World. The total population of our country is 129.25 million and among the total population 94.34 and 28.81 million peoples lives in rural and urban areas respectively (BBS, 2003:ix). It is known to all that people are the real wealth of a nation and considered them as human resource. All the development initiatives depend on people at large. But unemployment rate is 3.7 percent in our country and they are disadvantaged for not to be as a skilled manpower. We should emphasis on the Human Resource Development (HRD) to achieve the goal of the real development. But all the efforts of HRD are not emphasized by the development planner, policy maker of our country. The overall development of a country will be absolutely impossible by neglecting the development of human resources. So we want to analyse the conceptual framework, historical perspective and present scenario of HRD in Bangladesh in this article.
