The Institute of Human Resources Development (IHRD) is an autonomous technical educational research institute established by the Government of Kerala in 1987, with its headquarters at Thiruvananthapuram in India.

IHRD has grown within a short period into a network of more than 50 institutions. In addition to regular courses of study in academic establishments, IHRD also runs short and long-term employment-oriented and continuous education programmes.

The initial name of IHRD was Institute of Human Resources Development for Electronics (IHRDE). Later it was renamed to the current version.

IHRD manages several applied science colleges,[1] engineering colleges, polytechnics, and technical schools.

Partnerships

In 2023, IHRD and Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) teamed up to support technology and entrepreneurial activities in colleges. The MoU was signed with the presence of Higher Education Minister R. Bindu. KSUM announced plans to establish research and development (R&D) centers for startups in IHRD institutions for a period of five years.[2] IHRD also launched a collaborative learning program in partnership with the University of Cincinnati. Under this program, lectures from prominent academics, particularly those of Kerala origin, from the University of Cincinnati and other international institutions would be organized for students and faculty of IHRD's engineering colleges.[3]
