One face of the Janus is on the lookout for the future, and the other is learning from the past. So, if I begin my premise with a prophecy (that is more plausible than not), then, our future rests on the past learning that a lopsided development of the individual will result only in partial growth of the human society. Attainment of complete and a full growth graph of the entire globe rest altogether on a holistic individual development. Enhancement and expansion of humanity can become an achievable dream only with harmonious collaboration of experts of different fields; and experts can be born only if give an unprecedented boost to holistic personality development. Holistic does not imply being “Jack of all trades, master of none.” In fact, holistic is used for a uniform and integrated development of all the capabilities of the individual; where one aspect of personality is not compromised for the other; where all the faculties – mental, intellectual, physical, emotional, lingual, and spiritual – are polished uniformly and simultaneously so that when the individual takes up a responsibility or is assigned any task, they accomplish the task with strategy, finesse, and, expertise. All aspects of the task would be given due consideration by an individual whose own personality is holistically developed, resulting in success in particular cases and societal growth in general. Such individuals would prove to be leaders and problem solvers; and when they would collaborate, the global village would certainly progress forward. This paper would attempt to study the various aspects of holistic personality development, its factors and its branches. In addition, the emphasis would also be on the need to rigorously introduce holistic personality development at the level of higher education in India.
