Abstract: In today's competitive environment, skilled human resource can play an important role in the success of any organisation. The developmental climate in an organisation helps the employees to utilise their skills and competencies for success and achieving organisational objectives. For this purpose, an affable human resource development (HRD) climate is extremely important. The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent of HRD climate prevailing in National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) at Rajasthan in India and also a comparative analysis of permanent and contractual employees working in the NRHM in India. After reviewing the earlier work and instruments available for assessing the HRD climate, an improvised, self-developed and well tested for content validity questionnaire is used. This questionnaire was administered to 300 respondents (150 permanent and 150 contractual) from the organisations taking into consideration the availability of employees and their interest to give responses to the questionnaires. Mean score and percentage of each dimension was analysed. The study revealed that human resource development climate is better for permanent employees compared to contractual employees. The findings indicate significant difference in the perceptions of developmental climate prevailing between permanent and contractual employees in NRHM Rajasthan.
