Answer: (i) Only (a)

Statement-wise analysis:

  • (a) To increase investment on Industries and roads - This is Physical Capital / Infrastructure investment, NOT HRD. HRD is about investing in people, not bricks & mortar. So (a) is not included.
  • (b) Expenditure on education and health facilities >3% of national income - This IS core HRD - Schultz/Becker's human capital theory - education & health build human capabilities.
  • (c) Prioritizing social benefit programme - This IS HRD - welfare, skill development, social security enhance human development (UNDP-HDI approach).

Thus only (a) is excluded. Hence option (i) Only (a).

Trick: HRD = Education + Health + Training + Welfare, not physical infrastructure.

Included in HRD Not Included
Education, Health, Skill Training, Nutrition, Social welfare Factories, Roads, Machines, Financial capital
