scholarly journals The State of Education in Malkangiri District of Odisha and Its Impact on the Human Capital Development

Education is not the basis for civilization, it is civilization (Jay Newman, 1977) [1]. To be precise Civilization is the form of development of a community with the changing times evolving psychologically and intellectually at the same time. Education forms the basis on which the community evolves. There is no denying that education can elevate a person’s standard of living which includes health, employment prospects, and income. While states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat have definitely shown tremendous growth in literacy rate, States like Odisha and Bihar are still struggling to keep pace with them. Odisha has devised numerous programmes in order to fast-track the literacy rate. According to Census 2011 the literacy rate of Odisha rose to 72.9%. Male and female literacy rates are 83.2% and 67.8% respectively. According to the Human Development Index (HDI) 2017 [2] India scored around 0.640 ranking 130nd among 189 countries while Odisha scored 0.597 and ranked 32nd out of the enlisted 36 States and Union Territories. Despite all the efforts the State was placed among the last 5 positions in the hierarchy. One of the reasons behind this disparity is because of the 8 most backward districts of the country constituting this state. Nuapada, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Boudh, Mayurbhanj, Gajapati, Kandhamal, Kalahandi are those 8 rundown districts which demand immediate attention. The HDI of these districts range between 0.12-0.15 making them least developed districts as far Human Capital is concerned. This paper will analyse the nuances of low education level in one of the most backward district of Odisha known as Malkangiri with that of the discrepancies faced by the residents and provide reasonable solution for it.

Education is the driving force for economic development and raising living standards. As an active factor of production - a sophisticated person determines the socio-economic development of a country. Truly, there are many factors hindering the rapid development, of which solution in a relatively short time is impossible (f.ex. returning of occupied territory); However there exist other kind of problems (development of infrastructure in a short time, cost saving on maintaining the state bureaucracy and leaving more money for the economy; having reliable money in circulation; an effective social assistance system, etc.), which can be eliminated in a short time. Among such important problems, the most important is to raise the level of human education, so, the qualitative level of human capital development. In order to make the country attractive in the conditions of rapid competition, it is necessary to create an innovative, creative atmosphere for the introduction of the updated education system, for the improvement of human capital. That should ensure the continuous update of the knowledge obtained at the higher Education institutions in parallel with the scientific and technical progress improved level. All this requires a lot of private initiatives, less regulation by the state and in the right direction of finances, reasonable and targeted spending. In Summary, the goal of the ongoing education reform is to make education not just as as a business but to make it more as a public good. Since education is the most significant sphere for accumulation of human capital and dissemination of knowledge in modern digital economy, it is necessary to increase the role of the state in improving this field.

This paper examines the role that human capital plays in the relationship between the industrialization process and growth in Nigeria spanning the period 1980 to 2016. The theoretical framework is rooted in one of the new growth theories traceable to Lucas (1988) with emphasis on human capital's role in growth. Through some modifications, we result in two simultaneous equation models, one with growth as a dependent variable and the other, industrialization as a dependent variable. Human capital is disaggregated into male and female literacy rates, male and female life expectancies and other control variables used to explain the growth and industrialization process. The Two-Stage Least Squares adopted gives the expected outcome in most cases for the two model estimations. It is shown that the industrialization process is germane for economic growth, and likewise, male literacy rates can complement the industrial process to improve growth. In the same vein, stable growth facilitates the process of industrialization while human capital variables too play a relevant role in the same process. Identification of the workings of the Nigerian state would be a good foundation for the step towards ameliorating the problems of capacity building and industrialization in Nigeria.

This study empirically examine the impact of government expenditure on education on human capital development in Kaduna State over the last 15 years (2000-2015) using econometrics model with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique.The paper test for presence of stationary between the variables using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and autocorrelationusing Durbin Watson statistics. The results reveals all the variables were not stationary in levels except capital expenditure (CE) and Primary schools enrolment (PE) while the rest were stationary at second difference. DW shows presence of serial correlation. The regression results indicated that government expenditure on education have significant impact on human capital development in Kaduna State. It could therefore be recommended that the state government should increase its capital and recurrent expenditure on education, ensure proper management and monitory of funds made for the teachers, constant payment of teachers salaries and allowances in a manner that it will raise the state production capacity. The state should construct addition primary and secondary schools across the state, with modern facilities, and employ more teachers.

The purpose of the article is to improve the strategic management of human capital in the context of digitalization. In modern conditions, the development of human potential is closely linked with the spread of digital technologies, which are being implemented and rapidly evolving in all spheres of the economy and society. In this context, the effectiveness of the processes of adaptation and competitiveness of socio-economic systems in the long run depends on the development and implementation of the concept of human capital development which takes into account the impact of digitalization processes on the formation of human capital, as well as on the relevant qualitative characteristics that will best meet the needs of the national economy in the transition to a digital model of governance. Methodology. The article is based on international legal acts, laws and bylaws of Ukraine in this area of legal regulation of human capital in the context of digitalization. Both general scientific and special methodology were used for the research: methods of analysis and synthesis, method of description, method of induction, method of deduction. Results. It is proved that the state policy in the field of human capital development in Ukraine today does not meet the modern challenges associated with the rapid development and spread of digital technologies. The consequences of this are already growing disparities in the labor market, shortage of highly qualified specialists with digital competencies at the appropriate level, growing trends in emigration of intellectual capital and gene pool of the nation abroad, reduction of the "middle class" and intensification of social degradation. Solving these problems requires the development and implementation of a Unified State Strategy for Human Capital Development, which will stimulate its formation, development and effective use in the vector of transition to a new technological system, ensure economic growth and high living standards. To this end, the concept of strategic development of human capital in the context of digitalization is substantiated. It systematizes the goals, principles, strategies and tasks of the state to ensure effective processes of human potential formation and its transformation into human capital in the context of implementing the strategy of sustainable development of the national economy under the influence of digital technologies. Conclusions. The strategy of human capital development in the conditions of digital transformations is substantiated. It is a system of interrelated directions, actions and mechanisms aimed at implementing the concept of formation, motivation and use of human capital, which meets the needs of the economy and society and contributes to the competitive advantage and continuous human development in the long run.

The article shows that the activities of the State in the field of social support and social protection are aimed at addressing the needs of the lower levels of Maslow’s pyramid of motivation: physiological needs, the needs of a safe existence. Currently, we are fighting poverty, while we need to create conditions for the formation of an active life position of citizens, which is aimed at the development of the human capital of the country, on the quality of which the successes of modern society depend. This task is achieved by forming motivations of the highest levels of the pyramid: the need for social contacts, self-affirmation and self-expression. The development of the Concept and Program for Human Capital Development would allow to coordinate and link all activities of a socio-economic nature, both already being implemented in the country and formulated in the Address of the President to the Federal Assembly on January 15, 2020.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. The transition to a digital economy as a vector for the development of multiple social institutions is forced to shift towards multi-dimensional integration. As a consequence, for a modern university, innovative activities are no less important than educational ones. At the same time, the key resource in the process of generating innovative solutions is the human resource. The multidisciplinary orientation of universities allows combining specialists with unique competencies in a single environment, complementing each other and allowing to achieve a synergistic result, and since innovation invariably implies generation of a certain innovation, it is this property of a university that allows us to talk about the presence of a unique innovative potential – human capitalMETHODS. The article uses methods of system analysis, scientific analogy and abstraction – to study the category "human capital"; methods of grouping and systematisation – when systemising the main classification features of human capital and factors of influence on its development with account of globalisation trends; statistical analysis – to assess the state of development of human capital at university; indicative methods – when diagnosing human capital development in globalisation conditions; graphic methods – to visualise.FINDINGS. The following categories were defined: 1) "human capital" as a complex category, the main component of which is the development of non-standard human thinking, capable of self-organization, renewal, self-perfection and acts as an intellectual, creative factor and a key resource in building a socio-innovative model of economic development; 2) "innovative human capital of the university in conditions of globalization" which is viewed from an integrated approach, with the main emphasis on self-perfection, self-actualization of the human capital of the university; 3) "innovation human capital of the university" which is viewed from an integrated approach.CONCLUSION. The development of human capital as the main condition for the formation of the structure of economy of innovative type, based on information and intellectual production technologies, causes the need to reform and improve the systemic state policy, focused on providing the basic conditions for comprehensive human development. It is the active impact of the state in complex economic conditions to increase the efficiency of human capital development both at the macro level (economy as a whole) and at the micro level (university) that will improve the economic situation in the country and enhance the competitiveness of the national economy in the global world.
