The vice- chancellor of Doon University Chandrasekhar Nautiyal has highlighted the importance of selection of the right research methodology for undertaking research works. He stressed on this point while addressing the inaugural session of the two- day workshop in the university’s department of management on Thursday.
He said that the programmes of human welfare and social uplift are effectively implemented when the estimates are pinpointed. On an advisory note, the VC said that the subject of research should not be limited to reception of degrees. They must have wider ramification related to life, he said.
Speaking of the importance of hosting such workshops, he said that the techniques and methodology learnt at such type of workshops helps in taking one forward on the path success.
Addressing the workshop, the former head of department (HOD) of department of management S C Dhamija said that the modern research should include Indian traditional knowledge.
