Human resource planning is a process that determines how an organization will acquire the necessary human resources to achieve organizational goals. It involves estimating personnel needs, forecasting the availability of personnel, and determining any gaps between demand and supply. The process also includes formulating action plans to address gaps and monitoring progress. HRP differs from manpower planning in that it considers both current and future human resource needs and focuses on developing the overall quality of the workforce rather than just quantity.

2. Introduction
• HRP is a process of sticking balance between human resources required and
acquired in an organisation. In other words, HRP is a process by which an
organisation determines how it should acquire its desired manpower to achieve
the organisational goals. Thus, HRP helps an organisation have the right number
and kind of people at die right places and right times to successfully achieve its
overall objectives. Let us also consider a few important definitions of HRP:
• According to Terry L. Leap and Michael D. Crino, “HRP includes estimation of how
many qualified people are necessary to carry out the assigned activities, how
many people will be available and what, if anything, must be done to ensure that
personnel supply equals personnel demand at the appropriate point in the
future.”
