Instruments of Social Research -Hardcover

In view of the radical changes in India's society and culture following the country's independence, the hold of traditional methods of social science research has loosened. Social research is now being conducted with scientific methods that have an emphasis on data analysis, rather than data collection as in the past. This book discusses important aspects of empirical social research. The instruments of social research presented in the book are the devices used by the sociologists today to collect and process information until the writing of the final report. The author has not merely collected them from various Indian sources and arranged them systematically, but has also enlivened them with his interesting style of writing.
