A ICSSR Fully-Sponsored 10-Day Research Methodology Course on AI & Data Science by IPE Hyderabad
The landscape of social science research is undergoing a seismic shift. In an era defined by big data, researchers who can harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are poised to make groundbreaking, impactful discoveries. However, for many M.Phil, Ph.D., and Post-Doctoral scholars, accessing formal training in these cutting-edge tools remains a significant challenge.
To bridge this critical skill gap, the Institute of Public Enterprise (IPE), Hyderabad, is organizing a transformative 10-day in-person Research Methodology Course (RMC). Fully sponsored by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), this intensive workshop is titled “Application of AI Tools in Social Science Research.”
Why Should You Attend This Course?
This isn’t just another theoretical workshop. It’s a hands-on, immersive experience designed specifically for social scientists. If you’ve ever wondered how to:

Senior Fellow, ICSSR.
I want to take this opportunity
I am interested in this program .
Concept, principle, tools and techniques of AI right now kept aside as a model and also as an attestation to human brilliance..
please don’t bring this to influence human society because most of us simulating as normal beings by intensive medication..
Then in what way you impose this training program to highly senstive and most valuable post graduate learning human resources . First we want to know about the mentality of program organisers whether they are really human beings or drifted challenging representatives.
It’s just a concern not a criticism 🙏

I am very keen to apply for the ICSSR Fully-Sponsored Research Methodology Course on Application of AI Tools in Social Science Research organized by the Institute of Public Enterprise, Hyderabad.
As a researcher in the field of social sciences, I am deeply interested in exploring the integration of Artificial Intelligence and data-driven methodologies in enhancing the quality, precision, and impact of research. With the increasing relevance of big data, machine learning, and AI-powered tools in social research, I believe this program will provide me with the necessary skills to conduct ethically sound, impactful, and future-ready studies.
My academic and research background has allowed me to engage with methodological frameworks, but I wish to strengthen my expertise in applying AI-based tools for data analysis, interpretation, and visualization. Participation in this program will help me adopt innovative approaches in my ongoing and future research projects, while also contributing to the wider academic community by applying advanced methodologies.
I am confident that this training will not only refine my technical capabilities but also align with my long-term goal of producing high-quality, socially relevant research that bridges traditional social science perspectives with modern AI techniques.
I sincerely request you to kindly consider my application.

My name is Shruthi, and I am a Research Scholar( JRF -NET) in Education at St. Ann’s College of Education, Affiliated to Mangalore University.
I am very interested in this course because I believe skills in AI and data science are essential for modern educational research. but I am new to programming languages like Python and R. This course seems like the perfect place to build that foundation from the ground up and apply it directly to my research.
Dear Coordinators,
I am writing to express my strong interest in being considered for the upcoming Research Methodology Course on AI and Data Science by IPE. I believe this training will significantly enhance my research skills, particularly in designing rigorous studies, applying appropriate analytical methods, and enabling me to contribute more effectively to my research work.
I would be grateful if you could kindly consider my application for participation.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
David Riek Pel
