Hand Book Of Research Methodology

The purpose of this study is to place in the hands of the academics a compendium highlighting the landmark advances in the growth and development of knowledge. The work examines the nature of knowledge the methods of acquiring it, the dynamic attributes and classification of knowledge. The study evaluates the process of knowledge growth and discusses the various agencies involved in the production and distribution of knowledge. Next for discussion are the contributions of Social Sciences, Religion and Philosophy for the development of knowledge. Research is the life-blood of knowledge and lies at the heart of scholarship, and upon it the physical equipment and social organisation are heavily dependent. A knowledge of various Research Methods employed in the conduct of research is, therefore, essential on the part of those vigorously engaged in expanding the horizons of knowledge.
