1.6 METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Data was collected to achieve the result for the purpose, scope and hypothesis of this study. For the collection of
data, there are two types of references and source, primary and secondary.
1.6.1. Primary source
The methods for conducting inquiries, in order to collect primary data of agro-based industry, can be of three
types:
i. Case Study Method, ii. Statistical Method and iii. Sample Survey Method. This study is based upon the random
samples survey method. This research is empirical and exploratory in nature and convenient sample survey is used
in collection of data and collected data is tabulated in tables and analyzed for the defined purpose covering the
period 1988-2000.
Main data collection instrument was closed ended questionnaire which used liker scale to collect the primary
data.
1.6.2 Secondary Source
The Secondary data was collected through different sources such as: Libraries, journals, Newspapers, Magazines,
Thesis, Census Reports, Addresses delivered by government officials, Press Releases, Seminar, conferences, NGOs
reports, and electronic resources.

Some of these limitations can be seen as fruitful avenues for future research. For instant,………………..
But this study is regarding ……………………………………………..
Therefore there is room to conduct research on ……………………………………
This study has focused on ……………………………..
This research brings many limitations as far as the generalization of the results of the study is concerned.
This study is limited to …………………………. Therefore there is need to conduct study in ……………. also for
generalization of the results.
In most cases, the interviewed persons are uneducated; therefore, they could not appreciate the importance of
this study.
Some times they were reluctant to share information for fear of ……………………… or they hesitated ………….. Due to
this reason the information provided by them may not be accurate.
1.7.2 This study has certain deficiencies
Researcher interviewed 300 respondents; out of them 199 were staff nurses. Certainly, approach to them was
really a hard task as they are available in different …………………………… Researcher went to …………………………….
Researchers had met …………………………………..
Due to hectic workload respondents have filled in data in hurry and not given enough time to thorough review of
data collection instrument as time strain was major issue. Therefore results may not be accurate.
Researcher has to spare lots of time for data collection which researcher managed very hardly. Many respondents
absolutely did not take any interest but filled in it with lack of interest. So selection of respondents for data
collection was very hard task.
Researcher approached to them………………………… and found out the researcher’s purposively in the universe with
the help of researcher’s friends. Therefore results may not be accurate.
Due to time and budget constrains researcher could not include majority of population in samle therefore results
may not be accurate.
1.8 STRUCTURE OF THE STUDY/DISSERTATION

3. METHODS AND PROCEDURES
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
According to Polit, (1980) “the methodology is the way in which information is found. The methodology includes
the methods, procedures, and techniques used to collect data”. This chapter will indicate the steps, procedures and
strategies for gathering and analyzing the data in research investigations. Through this procedure researcher will
gather data about selected topic to evaluate and interpret.
The objectives of methodology is not only to evaluate and interpret the data, it deals with the procedure by which
knowledge is built, conceptual and logical.
Moreover, methodology is concern with how to gather data. Simply methodology refers to the principles, tools or
instruments employed by researcher to gather empirical evidence.
3.1..1 Method of Research
Qualitative or quantitative
3.1.2 Type of Research
Exploratory, descriptive or explanatory/ Basic/ Applied/ Speculative/ Descriptive:/ Predictive:/ Evaluative
3.1.3 Nature of Research
Ethnographic, content analysis of written material, interview, or a program evaluation, etc
3.2 POPULATION AND SAMPLE
3.2.1 Sampling Unit
What is the population you plan to study (e.g., all the social worker students in Idaho),
3.3 .2 Sampling Technique
5
What is your sampling plan (e.g., convenience, stratified, random )
3.2.3 Sample Size
What is your sampling plan (e.g., convenience, stratified, random), and why? (that’s right - tie it to the literature
review). Give as much information about the population that has been gathered from your review of the literature:
age range, gender mix, education, etc. This will be used to compare to your sample’s demographics in the Results
section.
3.3.1 Sampling rationale
Scientists work with sample rather than with population because it is more economical and efficient to do so. The
typical researcher has neither the time nor the resources required to study all possible members of a population.
The need for data in a specified time period usually makes it imperative for the researcher to sample.
Furthermore, it is usually unnecessary to gather information about some phenomenon from an entire population.
It is almost always possible to obtain a reasonably accurate Understanding of the phenomena under investigation
from a sample. Samples thus, are practical and efficient means of collecting data.
3.4 INVESTIGATE TECHNIQUE
Do you plan to use interviews, behavior observation, questionnaires, etc.? What subtype of each do you
plan to employ (e.g., structured vs. unstructured interviews or closed vs. open-ended questions)? State your
rationale for your approach (lit. review). List all of your variables, which ones are independent or dependent? What
level of measurement do you plan to use for each variable?
3.5 INSTRUMENTATION
3.5.1 Variables (Conceptually define your major variables in a clear and concise manner)
3.5.2 Validity Test
3.5.3 Reliability Test
Do you plan to use a standardized instrument or design your own? How does this instrument affect
issues of reliability and validity (discuss)? Discuss instrument biases. Identify independent & dependent variables.
Discuss how this instrument will be scored.
3.6 Data Collection Method
How will you distribute your instrument or where will you do the observations? What is your timetable
and what reminders will you give to respondents to get instruments back to you in time to complete your study?
