and clarified manner,

2. The ambitious researchers and writers a given a drive and way to continue the so

formed work in progress ahead,

3. The solutions and observations so derived can therefore be used in the law making

process of the country and thus, shall be incorporated as a statutory law.

When the researcher writes a report he must bear in mind the following crucial points for the

best outcome-

1. Who is your audience? The reader of the report defines the direction in which the

report goes ensuring the readers understanding. Thus, the report writing will vary

from the reader to reader so targeted.

2. The information so collected by the researcher during the data collection should be

organised in such a manner that its presentable in a much simplified and lucid

manner.

GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE REPORT-

The layout of the report writing is a general format and not the fixed one i.e. it varies as per

the convience of the researcher but the standards to cover shall remain the same. This shall be

the general structure that must be covered in the writing to reach to the best outcome-

a) Title-

An apt title is the face of the report as it helps the reader to identify to the matter

inside and relate to the need of the problem. Its very important to have an

appropriate title of the report so that the entire report speaks via its title.

entitles it as the “companies policy”, it does no mentain the topical unity with the

the rest of the matter of the report.

THE MAIN MATTER-

This part of the report deals with the main matter of the report that actually forms

the crux of the report writing .this part entails the body of the report. It helps the

reader to understand the reason behind the report writing and the journey that the

researcher underwent in order to reach to the apt finding. From the introduction to

the topic to the statement of the problem on which the report is formulated

followed by the survey of the existing literature, the procedure or the methodology

the researcher employed in the data collection and analysis thereafter presenting

the data so collected and analysed thus finally concluding precisely and to the

point. Now, lets understand each of this point in details-

1) Introduction-

writing, the aim of the report writing and value and importance that the report

holds in its hands and thereafter any general comments that the researcher

wants to add for its readers in the end.

main problem that the researcher has dealt in the report. It cannot be vague

and must ensure being to the point.

he drew from the research and the the generalizations that he arrived at by

verifying its authenticity and validity. This part has to be crisp and absolutely

too the point.

This is important as the sources that require immediate references are

given in the end of the page respective to its source from where the

iii. In bibliography the author names, title place of publication, publisher, year of

publication is generally written. Footnotes are always given in bracket.
