When we are concerned with regeneration of women in India, we are already aware of their degeneration. It does not imply degeneration of all women, but a very large section thereof is placed in a disadvantaged position. Many of them are subjected to injustice, oppression and exploitation in many ways. If we say that woman suffers from injustice from cradle to grave it would be still an understatement. For, the span of injustice against woman extends far beyond. It begins before her birth and lasts beyond her death. Modern technology enables us to determine the sex of the child before birth. In spite of the enactment of the Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act (1994), some unscrupulous parents still resort to female foeticidewith the connivance of some unscrupulous surgeons. Thus injustice against women begins before birth. Moreover, when parents are dead, most people take pride in mentioning the name of their father and rarely, if ever, of their mother. This is an example of injustice against woman after death. Then the illegal practice of female infanticide still persists in some cases. While birth if a son is celebrated with great fanfare, birth of a daughter is hardly welcome to some people. Discrimination against girls in the distribution of food, clothing, toys, etc., the curse of child marriage, purdah, desertion and divorce of women without solid reasons, etc. still widely persist. All these practices must be strictly curbed and abolished to restore the dignity and rights of women.

Human resources management has replaced the traditional concept of labour welfare and personnel management. Human Resources Management (HRM) in its present form has evolved from a number of significant interrelated developments which date back to the era of industrial revolution. The emergence of trade union movement led to the need of a person who could act as an effective link between the owners and workers. Thus the concept of labour welfare officer came into being. His role was limited to the bare minimum welfare activities of employees. In fact, he was looked down by both the workers and the owners.
With the introduction of factory system, thousands of persons began to be employed under one roof. The job of hiring people for the organisation was given to one man, who later on was assigned the responsibility of recruitment, selection and placement of personnel. This led to the emergence of personnel officer in the first place and the personnel manager later on.
Human-relations approach recognises human factor as the most important instrument of success in an organisation. Fast-changing technological developments, however, necessitated new skill development and training employees. People came to be recognised as a valuable resource which can be further developed. Increase in scope of the work led to the replacement of personnel manager with human resources manager
