Abstract: Organizations in India ought to have diversity in the composition of their workforces. It's multicultural heritage, constitutional provisions, liberal atmosphere, economic globalisation and liberalisation have provided substantial support for this diversity. However, there is no conscious effort on the part of these organisations for diversity management. The academicians can play an important role by creating an awareness regarding this. The authors, keeping Indian organisational scenario in view, have discussed the following things in the present article-sources of diversity, classification of workforce diversity, need for managing diversity, diversity management scenario in India and approaches for effective management of diversity.
