The present paper is an attempt to have an easier look at the application of concept of HRD in the organizations, particularly in hospitals. Very little research work so far has been done in this regard. The present paper indicates the existing HRD climate in hospitals with special reference to Shari Kashmir Institute of Medical Science (SKIMS) Srinagar.
