The school of social work organised an FDP on 25th November 2022, from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, designed for discussion in which subject matter specialists with practical experience in social science research shared knowledge with the target audience about the importance of research skills and current prospects in that field[cite: 30]. The FDP aims to show faculty members how to conduct independent research, write successful research projects, and ultimately prepare them for technical communication with a focus on national/international journals and conferences[cite: 30].

It also gives participants the chance to learn about current developments that are occurring in various facets of social work[cite: 30]. The programme included essential lectures on the fundamentals of choosing an appropriate research question, conducting a literature review, structuring the study, and developing a project proposal[cite: 30].

The programme helped the participants to confidently design and conduct research projects, write research papers, and pursue their Ph.D[cite: 30]. Participants from social work and other social science departments attended the FDP, as the thoughtfully designed schedule covered all relevant aspects regarding research methodology[cite: 30].
