2. LITRATURE REVIEW

This section deals with the analysis of existing literature on the subject with the objective of revealing contributions, weaknesses and
gaps. The literature review should be according to the themes of the study and should reflect the objectives, hypotheses, methods and
research questions. The review of the literature provides the background and context for the project.
3. MATERIALS AND METHODS (THIS COMPONENT IS FIELD SPECIFIC)
In this section, the students should give clear, specific, appropriate and credible procedures that shall be followed to attain the proposed
objectives of the project.
4. MANAGEMENT PLAN

This is the schedule / time-table of activities covering the period over which the research is to be implemented with due regard to
budgetary consideration.
5. BUDGET
