Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)

The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in India is a government body responsible for overseeing education and skill development in the country. It formulates policies for schools, colleges, and universities, aiming to improve the quality of education. MHRD also promotes literacy, vocational training, and research to ensure that the workforce is skilled and competitive. Beyond formal education, it focuses on policies that support educational access and inclusivity, ensuring opportunities for all segments of society. In 2020, it was renamed the Ministry of Education, but it continues to hold a central role in shaping India’s educational landscape.
