Research and Its Concepts

Thus “Research” should mean investigation consisting of determination and inspection of, or reflection upon, facts with a view to determine, of search, something which may satisfy the curiosity of the investigator, and as a result of the same, carry his knowledge forward. This definition is also silent on the object of research although it is comprehensive enough to include almost all the aspects of- the research method and also emphasize upon the subjective element (jignasa) which is responsible for it. However, beside jignasa, a research scholar should not only have an abundant fund of extraordinary will power and self discipline but also a fervor of a devoted youthful lower whose enthusiasm vaxes every day into fresh vigorous efforts.
