10. Introduction
• Write the title of the project on the top. The
title of the project, however, normally does
not give much idea on the project, so you
have to give an introduction to the project.
Description on background of the study and
its relevance to the focal theme, rationale and
social context
10
11. Objectives
• When you start a work you shall surely
expect some result out of it. In this chapter
explain in short what you intend to get as the
result or the outcome of your work.
• To be written clearly point by point, not as
running statement (not more than five)
11
12. Need Statement
• Justify why you selected this project in 50 to
100 words. Also justify how your work is
related to the main theme/sub-themes of
the congress.
12
13. Hypothesis
• Here you need to explain what assumptions
you had made. Remember to validate your
assumptions while coming to the final
conclusion.
• To be written clearly in one or two sentences
13
14. Work Plan
• Write in short about the scheme of work to
complete the project. You may represent it
graphically through flow charts. Remember,
your scheme may vary later.
14
15. Methodology - Survey based,
Experimental or both
• It is the base of the project so proper design
of the experiments or the questionnaire is
very necessary. In this chapter you should
write how you have done the project, when
you did (month day etc.) and how you have
selected samples.
15
16. Structure of the project report
Methodology:
• Experimentation: Provide list of materials used, explain the treatments and
control, provide neatly labeled sketch and/ or diagram wherever necessary,
document every step of the study by taking photograph, etc
• Survey: Clearly describe methodology followed, sampling procedure and
sample size based on population, provide sample questionnaire used,
document every step of the work by taking photograph etc
• Case study: This is a specific study carried out focusing on a particular area/
community to understand certain issues or its impact (In such cases,
principles of survey will remain same, with explanation in context of the
area/community covered, along with significant learning outcomes apart
from the other processes of data analysis and interpretation)
16
17. • However this chapter should not contain the
collected data or analysis of data. Maps,
blank sample survey form(s), etc. should be
given here. A low-cost project yet very
effective is highly appreciated.
• N.B.: Maintain Log Book showing the day to
day activities which has to be submitted at
the national level Children’s Science Congress
also.
17
18. • Experimentation is what you do with your
own hands either in the laboratory or at
home or in the field
• Design of the experiments with proper
controls, number of readings to be taken, set
of conditions, parameters to be included
should be discussed in simple language
18
19. Observation
• Here you need to present the data that you have
collected. Collection of data either as responses,
observations of experiments should be done
meticulously. The data collected should be
sufficient enough to be scientifically validated.
• Observation can be both qualitative as well as
quantitative
• The qualitative data (information) need to be
transformed into quantitative form either using
ranking approach
19
20. Data Analysis & Interpretation
• Data presented under the
observation/results are analyzed, using
principles of science
• Here only analysis part is to be shown
20
21. Data analysis and interpretation: The data that have been
generated out of experiments/observations/survey need to
be tabulated in a structured manner
• Different tools and methods can be used to analyze the
data, to understand the patterns that emerge from it to get
results and finally draw conclusions
(Remember, the raw data that is generated is not the final
result. Raw data is to be analysed using simple statistical
methods/tools and then the interpretation of the result to
be made)
21
22. Result
• Now it is time to interpret the data you had
collected and analysed. Present the results of
the analysis. Relevant maps, figures such as
graphs, tables may be used judiciously to
represent results. They should be
understandable to all and should be
systematically represented.
22
23. Results: Results are the output of the study
derived from data analysis and interpretation
leading to meaningful outcomes with the help
of a logical framework
• Sometimes, it may be needed to redo the
experiments to get consistent results, however,
final result is the analyzed data presented in
structured table as well as graphical form
23
24. • Take care to make your presentation as
simple as possible. Do not draw conclusions
here. In fact, up to this chapter you are not
supposed to give your own opinion or
interpretation. This is very important as the
data you got may mean one thing to you and
something else to others
24
25. Solution to the Problem
• Once you implement a permanent (more or
less permanent) solution to the problem
write down the steps of implementation and
how you have solved it. Figures,
photographs, maps, letters, articles published
for sensitization may be given along it.
25
26. Conclusions
• Now it is time to draw conclusions. Include
your suggestions that you think can solve the
problem. You should not generalise your
observations/conclusions or derive big
conclusions as you are working in a small
area with a small sample size.
• This is the logical end of the project where
the experimenter tries to arrive at specific
conclusions from the final result(s)
26
27. Every research is open-ended.
Action plan for follow-up actions is always expected.
The work that you have carried out needs to conveyed to
the general masses. What type of action you have planned
for it.
(In other words, in a defined time-period and with given resources, a
research work cannot end-up to draw solution to that particular
problem, which may need further refinement for suitable and wide
application and hence, every research work must have some scope
to do the same or similar study by the same researcher or other as
and when necessity arises)
27
Future Plan
28. Acknowledgement
• Acknowledge the help and co-operation you
got from various individuals and
organisations. Remember that, you should
record your thanks/gratefulness to all those
who have helped you or encouraged you, it
does not matter how small the help may be
or how less important the person may be.
However, this chapter preferably should not
be more than a page.
28
29. References
• This is the last chapter of your project report.
Here you should quote all study materials
used (e.g., books, articles, new paper,
personal interviews etc.) You should write
references in a specific order. We shall stick
to writing them in alphabetical order of the
names.

31. Appendix
• All the letters and / or certificates issued by
the concerned authorities are to be attached
at the end of the report
• Each such document should bear a number,
viz., Appendix - 1, Appendix - 2, and so on
31
32. The written report can be substantiated
by including limited number of
photographs, sketches, illustrations and /
or drawings, etc.

Plagiarism would lead to
disqualification
33. Presentation of the project
• Oral presentation, an important component, to be made
by the Group leader only
• The time limit for the presentation is 8 minutes followed
by 2 minutes for interactions
• Effective communication during the briefing of the issues
of study, its objectives, and methodology adopted for
the study, important observation and findings, vital
aspects on the way and approach to solve the problem
or addressing the problem are critical elements
• Since only 8 minutes' time is allotted for the purpose,
one has to plan pragmatically for this purpose
