At any point of time huge amount of construction is carried out across pan India, with natural cycle of ups and downs in the quantum of work executed per annum. Construction requires large number of manpower in the categories of unskilled , skilled and technical for planning, monitoring and execution of these projects. Manpower demand estimation is an essential component to facilitate manpower deployment.
