At the beginning of his lecture, he clarified the main points of research, its quality and writing, after that, connecting each point with the research methodology, he explained their practical nature. He said that clarity of fundamental ideas is very important in selecting the title of research. Literature related to this should be studied and then the problem should be selected. He also said that the quality of research in social science subjects in India remains low. Original ideas are rarely seen in research papers. If the problems in social science subjects are identified, then sufficient facts can be referred to, due to which the originality of the research becomes clear. Therefore, it is necessary that research be done with adequate facts and arguments. He also said that new discussions should emerge in research, merely writing a few pages is not research. After selecting the problem, it is very important to review the related literature. Research work should be started only after studying the literature related to the subject. In the end Prof. Jagmeet Bawa answered the questions of all the participants.
