Abstract
Human resources play a very significant role in the socio-economic and regional development of any region or country. Human resource development is the process of improving people’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. It represents the quality and quantity of humans who can use their skills to create more resources for mankind and remove regional imbalances. Regional imbalance is one of the major problems of the country which creates many socio-economic and political problems. The government of India has launched many socio-economic developmental programs to reduce the regional development disparities and speed up the development process but its impact could not be effective in the whole part of the country due to its physio-climatic, socio-economic, infrastructural, and political conditions. Mirzapur is one of the problematic backward districts of Uttar Pradesh that has been facing the Naxal movement for a long time due to poverty, unemployment, lack of education, awareness, and government policies. Therefore, to prevent Naxalism there is a need to increase infrastructural facilities like health, education, electricity, banking, finance, industries, etc. It is a very important factor that helps in the growth of regional development. This present paper is an attempt to analyze the spatial variation of regional development through human resource development at the block level of the Mirzapur
