statement of the observations and findings
should be made in such a way that any
person, even a nontechnical one, is also
able to easily understand the findings of the
program. In the second half, the results
and findings are to be presented with scien-
tific logic, references, etc., to justify the
conclusions that the researcher is going to
draw in the next section. To present the
findings in a meaningful and lively manner,
it should be made in tabular, graphical, pic-
torial, etc., forms wherever possible along
with explanations. The discussion and infer-
ence part of the research report should
be made unambiguously and in a straight-
forward manner. Too much generalization
of the findings or inferences drawn over
ambitiously, not supported by the method-
ology or analytical tool, may be a draw-
back of the report. During the end of this
section, the researcher should again write
the results clearly and precisely followed
by implications of each and every result
and finding.
problems from any research report. The future
scope of research, in a research report, thus
gives birth to many research problems. This
also enlightens the researchers about the other
possible ways of solving a particular problem.

Reference/Bibliography
: During the entire
research process, a researcher needs to sur-
vey the literature, may it be printed source, e-
source and/or other sources. In each and
every step, this helps in the efficient execu-
tion of the whole research process. So, one
section is devoted in noting down the
resources used for the purpose under refer-
ence or bibliography section. There are dif-
ferent methods of writing the bibliography or
reference section. Different organizations
have set different standards and types of
writing references; unless and otherwise
stipulated, the researcher should follow any
one of the standard methods. The reference
section is very useful for future researchers.

: Starting from the con-
ceptualization of the problem to the
ultimate presentation of the research report,
a researcher is required to go through
a host of essential supporting materials
which cannot be provided or mentioned in
the text. These supporting materials like
questionnaires and schedules are presented
in the form of appendix or annexure at the
end of the report.
So long we have discussed the presentations
of the research report in written/printed form and
the steps to be followed in writing the report. But
the reader should note that the written form of the
report is not the only form of presentation of
report. Nowadays, reports are also presented in
audio, audiovisual, and other formats. Audio
recording for the research report is very much
helpful in reaching the research report to the
ultimate stakeholders who may be illiterate or
sitting at distant places or otherwise. “Seeing is
believing”—following this truth, sometimes
research reports are presented in audiovisual
form like video cassette/documentary film/
movie.

ConclusionandRecommendation
: Researches
are for the betterment of human life. The
conclusion and recommendation part of any
research program, therefore, is the most
important part of the research report in
furthering the betterment of human life.
In the conclusion part of the research
report, a very brief summary of the research
problem vis-`-vis the findings obtained
using specific methodologies followed by the
recommendations is provided. The policy
makers and the executives at the highest levels
are more interested on these aspects rather
than the whole research report.

Future Scope
: A good research program
encourages or lays the foundations for many
research problems. Moreover, particularly
in exploratory type of research, all the aspects
may not be covered in a single research
program. As such the younger researchers
or other researchers look for the avenues
and possibilities of newer research programs/
