The theory of human resource development is a theory defined by the Western scholars. Society improves only when a person improves. The country improves only when society improves. Only when nations develop can all the nations of the world become superpowers. Human resources are therefore an essential factor that can be praised for the part of such development. Even if water, land and mineral resources are properly located in a country, there will be no use if there are no proper human resources to use them in a purposeful manner. Therefore, human resources should be cherished and protected as the main wealth of the country. Tamil contemporary literature is seen as a tool to capture today's society. Contemporary literature is a widespread study in all societies. Therefore, the novel 'Sanjaram' and the short stories 'Aram', 'Sootrukkanaku' are take to estimate the sources that correlate to human resource development. The purpose of this study is to explore and explain the theories of human development in these contexts in relation to Tamil literature and to see how scholarly definitions fit into contemporary literature.
