Self-Management for Self-Development is one of the topics included in the One-week programme on Human Resources Development, organized by the Advanced Training Institute, Electronic Process Instrumentation, Ramanthpur, Hyderabad. Every person must consider himself or herself as a life-long learner. While during the early phases of life, parents and teachers are likely to provide the required guidance, during later part, every one has to assume responsibility on their own, for their self-development. Ability to manage oneself, time, resources, energy and everything else constitutes the beginning. Without self-management, you cannot hope to plan and achieve self-development. This presentation covers certain related aspects.
