The National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM), Utkal Chapter held its meeting here on Wednesday which was attended by industry veterans, former CMDs and directors, serving directors and general managers from different industrial organisations, HR professionals and experts.
Delivering his keynote address as chief guest, Nalco CMD Dr Tapan Kumar Chand said, “People make things happen, and it is the human capital that gets multiplied with other capitals to give value to the organisation. There is, therefore, a high degree of correlation between an effective organisation and effective HR systems.”
Dr Chand was felicitated for his outstanding contributions to the industry and society. Dr Chand is one of the few persons belonging to the HR fraternity who have attained the top positions in the public sector in India. Under his leadership, the Nalco could get complete raw material and energy security for next 50 years.
Dr Chand said, “The HR professionals should act as a bridge between different functions of management. They should act more as business managers, working continuously towards the all-round development of the organisation.” He emphasised that the HR professionals in the changing time should be proactive, positive and focussed on triple ‘P’ — Planet, Plant & People.
Among others, NIPM chairman Dr Bhabani Prasad Mishra, NIPM secretary Dr Sarbananda Sahoo, former Nalco CMD Dr SK Tamotia, former Nalco Director G Upadhayya, former MMTC Director Amarendra Mishra And Nalco Director (HR) BK Thakur were present.
