The personal development is defined as a lifelong process. It is very important for
an individual to keep enhancing their skills and knowledge in order to be effective

and grab the various opportunities. There are various academic skills which help the

hopes and aspirations are examples of what are included in personal development
or self improvement. It is not true that personal growth can only take place at a
specific period of a person's life, but rather that it can take place across the course of
an individual's entire lifespan. It is not limited to the realm of self-improvement and
can encompass formal and informal activities for the purpose of fostering the growth
of others in roles such as instructor, guide, counsellor, manager, coach, or mentor.

development in the context of institutions refers to the strategies, programmes, tools,

development plan.
