10-Day ICSSR-Sponsored Research Methodology Course for Social Science Scholars at SPIERS, Ahmedabad (15-24 April 2025)
About the Programme:
Social Science Research always has been considered an important instrument for policy formulation that aimed to enhance the welfare of the masses. It provides important inputs for the policy formulation to solve the problem of economic backwardness, social conflict, discrimination, internal and external security, environment, social justice, etc. Enhancing the research capability of young researchers by making them aware about the modern tools & techniques, data sources, theoretical and empirical understanding of the social issues/problems is the way to promote the social science research in the country. It is expected that researchers trained with modern tools and techniques will provide scientific, logical and relevant inputs for the policy formulation.
The proposed training program intends to improve research skills and competence of young social scientists to undertake research studies (both qualitative and quantitative) in social sciences. The participants will be exposed to theories and practical applicability of the research methods and research tools used in social science research. The programme will consist of lectures, field training, practical exercises (in SPSS), report writing and presentations. The training program predominantly follows the research methodology course guidelines of ICSSR, New Delhi.
