inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention”. Hudson Maxim
Research Design
The research design adapted in the study is descriptive study and the sampling technique used
is simple random sampling. A research is the arrangement of conditions for collections and
analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with
economy in procedure.
Descriptive study

characteristics of the variable of interest in a situation. Descriptive studies are also
undertaken to understand the characteristics the organization that follows certain
common practice

I. Pre collection activity - Agree goals, target data, definitions, methods.
II. Collection - Data Collection
III. Present Findings - Usually involves some form of sorting analysis and / or
Presentations
There are two methods of data collection which are below:
PRIMARY DATA
In primary data collection, you collect yourself using the methods such as interviews and
questionnaires. The key point here is that the data you collect is unique to you and your
research and, until you publish, no one else has access to it.

Of the research. A Pilot study was done in order to know the accuracy of the questionnaire
The final questionnaire was prepared keeping in mind of the objective of the research. A pilot
study was done in order to know the accuracy of the questionnaire .The final questionnaire
was arrived only after certain changes were done. Thus my sampling came out to be
