Lucknow: The Lucknow chapter of the National HRD Network (NHRDN) organised its annual conclave on the theme 'New HR and its Challenges' here on Saturday.
Addressing the gathering, director general of NHRDN, Dhananjay Singh said, "India's youth joining the workforce today will face different challenges when they grow old, as by 2050, half the population of India will be 55 plus years.

A key speaker, Sandeep Girotra discussed how the centre of gravity of the Indian economy was shifting from big metros to tier-2 cities, which created the need for tailored management practices. "It is important to improvise as per the needs of the new generation rather than sticking to the principles," he said.
Dr Kavita Pathak emphasised that the definition of success also changes with time, while secretary of NHRD, Manisha Seth said periodic deliberations were necessary for growth.
