HRP and Responsibilities Involved 
      Formulation of human resource plans is a shared task between top 
management, line managers and HR department.  Top management is 
involved in HRP process because ultimately, only it approves the various 
plans to the organisation as a whole.
      According to Udai Pareek, “It is the top management responsibility 
to project shared vision and strategic plans of the organization into long-
term vision and short-term goals.  The projected vision and plans are 
then translated into human resource requirements for their respective 
departments by the managers.  Detailed analysis of required competencies 
in terms of levels and numbers are developed by personnel department.
