A Study of the Impact of Faculty on the Opinion of Beneficiary Candidates of the Scheme of Developing High Quality Research Regarding the Scheme

Research is essential for all as it helps continuously improve and evolve, ensuring that everyone receives the best living environment. To produce meaningful research is the responsibility of researchers. Hence, dedicated researchers are essential to produce useful research in all fields. Researchers who are committed to producing valuable research often encounter various obstacles on their research journey, one of which is financial stress. Many central and state government funding agencies provide financial support to Ph.D. scholars through various financial assistance schemes that help the researcher to produce meaningful research in the field. The scheme of developing high quality research – SHODH is an initiative of the Government of Gujarat to provide financial assistance to Ph.D. scholars of the state from different recognized universities/institutes of the state to produce quality research in various disciplines. The presented research is a study of the opinion of beneficiary candidates of the scheme of developing high quality research about the scheme benefits, functional processes, and utility based on their faculty. The study is carried out under the causal-comparative research method to know whether the opinion of the Ph.D. scholars (beneficiaries of the scheme) about selected aspects of the scheme differs on the basis of their faculty or not. This will help to understand the requirements of research scholars of different faculties; to get an idea to facilitate scholars in a better way to produce meaningful research in their respective faculties.
