Higher Education Institutions are facing a challenge in creating and maintaining quality of research especially in social sciences including Legal discipline. This may be due to variety of factors including lack of recognition of the purpose of applied research technique, lack of the fundamental knowledge necessary to link theoretical and applied research methodologies, lack of practical training and exposure etc. Consequently, promotion of high- quality doctrinal and empirical research in social sciences and law is a big challenge in India. Therefore, there is a urgent need to develop sound methodological base of research and acquaint research scholars and academicians with research techniques so that they can carry out quality empirical and doctrinal research in legal education. In this backdrop, there is need to train, reorient and reactivate the academicians research scholars in the social science and law on research methodology. The goal of the five-day Faculty Development Programme is to equip research scholars with the sound knowledge regarding the fundamentals of applied research methodology. The course would focus on applying research methods for carrying out any kind of social science research. Additionally, this workshop would encourage social science researchers to conduct inter-disciplinary research.
