to recruit, select, hire, train and develop employees and judge their economic value to the
organization. With the accelerated growth in science and technology, the value of human capital

resources. Through HRA decision makers may draw some inferences from reported values of
human capital. Whether the organizations publishing HRA information use the appropriate
model for valuation of Human Resources in India, and the private sector undertakings have HRA
system being followed. The HRA concept itself represents a new way of thinking about people
as assets. It has a great potential for future organization to understand the value of human forces
and the same should mentioned in the financial statements.
