Abstract: Measuring impact of Kazi & Kazi Tea Estate (KKTE) was conducted over the period of four months starting from May, 2011 to August 2011. This survey was conducted exclusively in the KKTE operating areas covering 3 Upazillas of Panchagarh district. The main objective of this study was to make an assessment on impact of KKTE within its vicinity in Panchagarh. In order to get qualitative information data were collected through 20 FGDs with each respective respondents (Two FGDs from each unit, one FGD with the KKTE workers and another one FGD with outside KKTE people) to get real picture of the study areas. Total 50 respondents were interviewed through structured KII formats (5 persons from each unit: One Govt. Official, one UP member/chairman, one KKTE regular staff, one KKTE male worker and one KKTE female worker). Most of the respondents were mentioned that KKTE is serving for the population by creating employment opportunity, creating knowledge platform for organic farming, and ensuring eco-friendly farming activities.

Abstract: The paper seek to investigate the effects of migration of rural famers from periphery to urban centres in Nigeria in search for greener pasture, despite the fact that 75% of Nigerians are farmers 50% of its population are sleeping in hunger making the live of rural farmers unstable and constituting reasons for the influx which have various effects on rural and urban settlements in Nigeria. The methodology adopted was descriptive using secondary data and interview with rural farmers and the findings revealed that the migration of farmers has course clashes between the immigrants and host communities as a result of succession for land and increase in the rate of crimes such as armed robbery, petty thieving, kidnapping and emergence of such groups such as Boko Haram. Therefore the paper suggests that government should provide infrastructural facilities and empower the rural farmers to reduce the rate of migration.

Abstract: Purpose – This research aims to answer the questions for more empirical research on identity theory by exploring the role of training and impact of human resource development (HRD) system, and to find out the gap between HRD practice and holistic approach in organizations
Design/methodology/approach – This study uses ethnomethodology , phenomenology and self exploration method . Findings – The research found a gap between current training module and needs to set HRD practices according to universal human values approach and suggest model to fulfill the same. It found a gap between policy and practice has one or two dimensional approach instead of holistic perception. This gap is because of lack of understanding and awareness.
Research limitations/implications – This paper used ethnomethodology , phenomenology and self exploration method , which may vary from person to person during interpretations. These method based on exploration and collection of data from day – to-day events which higly depend on observer. Further research is required to confirm these results using several data sources.
Practical implications – Managers and HRD functions should increase both soft policy and soft practice and ensure there is no gap between policy and practice. To achieve this, organizations should ensure that the HRM function is both strategic and effectively resourced.
Originality/value – This research makes a theoretical and empirical contribution to debates on the role that HRD practices play in organizations. It also adds value to HRM research and practice.
Keywords: Human values; HRD Model; Universal Values; Harmony, Human Resource Management, Ethics
