This paper is on Human Resource Development as a tool for empowering grassroots communities for improved community development in Osun State, Nigeria. It evaluates the various human resource development programmes organized by the state for Community Development Committees (CDC) and their impact on community development programmes of Osun State. A descriptive survey research method was adopted for the study. A total of three hundred and fifty (350) Community Development Committee members were randomly selected from six administrative zones of Osun State using stratified sampling technique. Human Resource Development Empowering Programme for Community Development Committee Members Questionnaire (HRDEPCDCMQ) was used, and was complemented with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique to collect information from the respondents. Four research questions were generated. The data collected was analyzed using multiple regression analysis, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test statistical methods. It was discovered that Human Resource Development promotes in the CDC members the needed skills for problem identification, planning, monitoring, implementation and evaluation of community development programmes/projects. That HRD provides the satisfaction and motivation for the CDC to handle community development projects as their own project for improved community development programmes in their communities. It is therefore recommended that the government at all levels should encourage continuous development of the power of work in both the CDC and the change agents at the locality levels for improved community development programmes  delivery in Osun State and Nigeria at large. KEY WORDS:                      Human Resource Development, Empowerment, Community Development, Grassroot.

Today every university including PTKIN cannot avoid continually being prepared and competing with various other universities both at national and international levels. In winning the competition and replying to higher education the competitive advantage factor is taken into account. High performance of university which is based on three aspects, namely cost-based, product-based, and service-based. PTKIN must have quality and service excellence, as well as the ability to compete in the costs and excellence of majors / study programs offered. There are many factors that influence highly competitive universities, including the factors of human resource development, community development (analysis of community development) and the ability to build networks and cooperation. This study tries to annul the most dominant factors towards competitive advantage . The study took samples of Lecturers and Education Personnel at PTKIN UIN Malang, UIN Surabaya, UIN Jogjakarta, and UIN Bandung using simple random techniques. The sample of respondents is 200 people and check. Statistical analysis used multiple regression components of the Multivariate Principle. Research (1) The results showed (1) All the variables of Human Resource Development (HRD), Community Development Analysis (CDA), and Network Cooperation (NP) related to Competitive Advantage (CA) or PTKIN competitiveness (production quality), quality of service (quality of service), also competitive advantage in financing and quality of safety management (price) unless the CDA converter variable is smaller than the others. (2) HRD variable regression coefficient value of 0.714. Increasing HRD, CA will also increase by 0.714 or 71.4% of the CDA variable value of -0.168. This means, if other factors are considered constant, there is no direct effect of CDA on CA or smaller than HRD and NP because the results are -0.168. While the NP variable value is 0.409. This means, for each increase in NP, CA will also increase by 0.409 or 40.9%. (3) The results of simultaneous testing show differences in variation together between HRD, CDA, NP against CA is 75.8% or accepted 24.2% is used by other factors that are not rejected. From the results of this study, PTKIN is important for developing HR (HRD) and increasing network and quality cooperation (NP) as well as developing CDA to increase PTKIN's competitiveness towards international class or WCU (Word Class University).
