1. Format For Research Proposal In Social Science Prepared By Dr. JN Gorai, Assistant Professor, Smt. Savitaben Panalal Kothari College of Secondary Education, Gujarat

2. 1 Introduction to Research Proposals A research proposal outlines the plan for conducting a specific study. It serves as a roadmap for researchers and helps in securing funding or institutional approval. A well-structured proposal demonstrates the significance and feasibility of the intended research.

3. 2 Title of the Proposal The title should be concise and clearly reflect the study's main focus. It should include key terms that capture the essence of the research question. A compelling title can attract the interest of readers and reviewers alike.

4. 3 Abstract The abstract is a brief summary of the entire proposal, usually 150-250 words. It should encapsulate the research problem, objectives, methods, and anticipated outcomes. A strong abstract provides a clear overview and encourages further reading of the full proposal. Picture Source: https://unl.libguides.com/c.php?g=51569&p=2633458

5. 4 Introduction and Background This section contextualizes the research problem within existing literature. It should highlight gaps in current knowledge that the proposed study aims to address. Establishing a solid background helps to justify the need for the research.
