The research deals with the broad range of human behaviour which affect by diverse influences like environmental biological physchological sociological etc. In other words new knowledge is like a new born baby which holds great potential of growth as well as development. Like new born child research gives us pleasure. It also gives us satisfaction of knowing unknown that a scientist is self justifying goodness of scientific knowledge which may be small or big. However it is well admitted fact that research has an important role in guiding social planning. Knowledge of the society and the cultural behaviour of people require proper planning for their well development because both the knowledge and cultural behaviour of human being are interdependent. A reliable as well as factual knowledge may be atmost needed to take decision for planning. This is possible by means of research. Social research is generally worth much more that the cost incurred over it. It is as important as physical research of the area since the success of the former depends ultimately on people's acceptance and participation. 272 pp.
