INTRODUCTION
Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who make up the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors or even whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to the initials "HR". Human resources is a relatively modern management term, coined as late as the 1960s. The origins of the function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare management' practices and also in those that adopted the principles of 'scientific management'. From these terms emerged a largely administrative management activity, coordinating a range of worker related processes and becoming known, in time, as the 'personnel function'. Human resources progressively became the more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the United States as well as multinational or international corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative as well as strategic approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management to gain a competitive advantage, utilizing limited skilled and highly skilled workers. Human resource planning (HRP): is the process of systematically reviewing human resource requirements to ensure that the required number of employees, with the required skills, is available when they are needed. After an organizations strategic plans have been formulated, human resource planning can be undertaken. Human resource planning has two components: requirements and availability. Forecasting human resource requirements involves determining the number and type of employees needed by skill level and location. In order to forecast availability, the human resource manager looks to both internal sources (presently employed employees) and external sources (the labor market). When employee requirements and availability have been analyzed, the firm can determine whether it will have a surplus or shortage of employees. Ways must be found to reduce the number of employees if a surplus is projected. Some of these methods include restricted hiring, reduced hours, early retirements, and layoffs.

DEFINITION OF HRP BY VETLER 1967


The process by which management determines how the organization should move from its current manpower to its desired position. Through planning, management strives to have the right number and right kinds of people at the right places at the right time, doing right things which result in both the organization and the individual receiving maximum long run benefits.

OBJECTIVES OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING


Enable organizations to anticipate their future HR needs to identify practices that will help them meet those needs: - To maintain the required quantity and quality of human resources required for a smooth & efficient functioning of the organization. - To forecast the turnover/attrition n rates - To plan to meet organizational human resource needs at the time of expansion or diversification

IMPORTANCE OF HRP
Planning is not as easy as one might think because it requires a concerted effort to come out with a programme that would easy your work. Commencing is complicated, but once you start and finish it you have a smile because everything moves smoothly.

Planning is a process that have to be commenced form somewhere and completed for a purpose. It involves gathering information that would enable managers and supervisors make sound decisions. The information obtained is also utilized to make better actions for achieving the objectives of the Organization. There are many factors that you have to look into when deciding for an HR Planning programme.

HR Planning involves gathering of information, making objectives, and making decisions to enable the organization achieve its objectives. Surprisingly, this aspect of HR is one of the most neglected in the HR field. When HR Planning is applied properly in the field of HR Management, it would assist to address the following questions:

1. 2. 3. 4.

How many staff does the Organization have? What type of employees as far as skills and abilities does the Company have? How should the Organization best utilize the available resources? How can the Company keep its employees?

HR planning makes the organization move and succeed in the 21st Century that we are in. Human Resources Practitioners who prepare the HR Planning programme would assist the Organization to manage its staff strategically. The programme assist to direct the actions of HR department.

The programme does not assist the Organization only, but it will also facilitate the career planning of the employees and assist them to achieve the objectives as well. This augment motivation and the Organization would become a good place to work. HR Planning forms an important part of Management information system. HR have an enormous task keeping pace with the all the changes and ensuring that the right people are available to the Organization at the right time. It is changes to the composition of the workforce that force managers to pay attention to HR planning. The changes in composition of workforce not only influence the appointment of staff, but also the methods of selection, training, compensation and motivation. It becomes very critical when Organizations merge, plants are relocated, and activities are scaled down due to financial problems.

COMPANY PROFILE
Under the Indian Companies Act, 1913, Indian Rare Earths Limited was incorporated in 1950 as a private company as a joint venture with the then Government of Travancore, Cochin. In 1963, IREL became a full-fledged Govt. undertaking under DAE. In 1952, production commenced at RED, which was dedicated to the nation by Sri Jawharlal Nehru. OSCOM was set up during 1972, construction had been started in 1975 and mining had been started in 1984. Main objective of IREL is to emerge as a leading player in the area of mining and separation of beach sand deposits to produce minerals as well as process value added products. It has mineral processing plants at Orissa, Tamilnadu & Kerala, Rare Earths division at Alwaye, Kerala and Research center at Kollam, Kerala. Its registered and corporate offices are in Mumbai, Maharastra. LOCATION: The Chatrapur sand deposit is situated along the Eastern Coast in Ganjam district of Orissa state. The area is bound on the four sides by Rushikulya River on the Northeast, the coastline of Bay of Bengal on the Southeast, Kandla River (Gopalpur creek) on the Southwest and Tampra Inland-lagoon and its canal system on Northwest. The co-ordinates of the area along the coast are as follows: GEOLOGY OF THE DEPOSIT: The OSCOM deposit formed along the coast is the largest of its kind in India with a length of about 18km and a width of about 1.5 km. The height of the deposit varies from a few meters to 15m from the surface to water table. It is usually in the form of sand dunes and the

concentration of heavy minerals is highest in the surface. The concentration gradually decreases with the increase of depth. The land is barren and devoid of vegetation except occasional growth of casuarinas trees which requires less water to grow in the saline environment.

The sand

deposit is less compact, free from over burden, clay or rock in the frontal dune area closer to the sea. However, the deposit away from the sea towards the land sometimes contains clay lenses and compact sand below water table. The origin of the deposit belongs to the parent rock types available in the eastern Ghat and the Western Ghat Mountain ranges which contain these minerals in very low concentration to call for profitable extraction. The main source rocks are Khondalites, Charnokites, Gnesis, Granites, Laterites and Sandstones etc. When the source rocks are liberated from it and transported downward by running water and rivers. A tropical climate with heavy rainfall assists in the withering process. The liberated minerals transported downward are deposited at the seashore in an unsorted condition. The river Rushikulya acted as transportation agent for the heavy minerals and deposition in Bay of Bengal. The actual sorting and concentration takes place due to the actions of two principal agents i.e. action of waves and surfs and the action of winds. Ocean waves and surfs play predominant role in the concentration of the heavy minerals. A breaking wave takes all the foreshore minerals to the beach but the backwash carries only the lighter minerals back to the sea. Repeated action of waves results in sorting and the concentration of heavy minerals in beach placer deposit. After the concentration is over, action of the wind further enriches the concentration by blowing away the finer and the lighter sand particles, thus leaving the in-situ deposit rich heavy minerals. Stratigraphically, the deposit is of recent age and its country rock belongs to Pleistocene age. No fault planes joints or geological disturbances are exciting in the deposit. For the purpose of evaluation and presentation of the deposit, the OSCOM deposit is divided into two sectors viz. south and north, each consisting of two sectors two parts I & II.
