Other Events

The following events will be conducted by the association in the upcoming year

Training Programme/ Workshop on Research Methodology

A training workshop on Research Methodology will be organized by the Association in collaboration with the Giri Institute of Development Studies (GIDS), Lucknow. The workshop will focus on both qualitative and quantitative research methods, with special emphasis on survey research and methods.

There is a growing recognition of methodological approach to research cannot give primacy to one particular method – quantitative or qualitative. Both these methods have their respective strengths and weaknesses. A large body of work now focuses on including both qualitative and quantitative approaches into the study of social phenomena. This gains greater significance in relation to field survey based studies and when engaging in research from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Students and research scholars from across different social science subjects will be invited attend this training sessions with an emphasis on resolving specific issues faced by students when conducting field work.
