A study on the impact of research methodology in Ph. d course: An overview:

A research can lead to new contributions to the existing knowledge. Only through research is it possible to make progress in a field. Research is indeed civilization and determines the economic, social and political development of a nation. The results of scientific research very often force a change in the philosophical view of problems which extend far beyond the restricted domain of science itself. Research is not confined to science and technology only. There are vast areas of research in other disciplines such as languages, literature, history and sociology. Whatever might be the subject, research has to be an active, diligent and systematic process of inquiry in order to discover, interpret or revise facts, events, behaviours and theories. An attempt has been made to discover new facts and verify and test important facts and analyze an event or process or phenomenon to identify the cause and effect relationship. Moreover it develops new scientific tools, concepts and theories to solve and understand scientific and nonscientific problems.
