About the Workshop
Research is the basis of creativity and innovation. Academic research seems to be the most acceptable and influential element in higher education. The institutions of higher education are focusing on competence-based teaching, especially for Masters and Ph.D. level education. Although many Indian universities have been ranked among top 500 institutes by QS ranking, Indian learners and educators are still facing crucial challenge in creating, nurturing and maintaining the level of quality research. It is essential to develop a sound methodological base of research among the researchers to cope up with challenges in the field of research. Therefore, the current workshop is an effort to enrich the research scholars on research methodology. The workshop will provide students with an overview of the different dimensions of research.
