 According to John Kenneth Galbraith ‘’There is in our time no well educated literacy population that is poor; there is no illiterate population that is other than poor.’ ’There is a direct relationship between human resource and the development of a country. For instant, most of advanced countries are advanced because their human resource is high. On the contrary, many African, Asian, and south American countries have less human resource which reflected to their development.  Tribes are backward due to their human resource index is very poor.
