सवाल
Which guidelines are followed?
The NEP 2020 project guidelines of UP state universities. Where your university's format differs, the centre follows your own university's guidelines.
Can I study my own village?
Yes, your own village or ward is often the best study area because data collection is easier; take your supervisor's approval.
Will the centre do the survey for me?
No, the student does the field work; the trainer helps with the questionnaire, maps and analysis.
