About the Workshop

The growing health care challenges globally is a concern among the researchers, policy makers, healthcare

practitioners, academicians and the masses. Current times have shown that this can no longer be taken for

lesser priority. Many countries are toiling hard to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets on

health. The current global health crisis demands research on health and healthcare of the people nationally as

well as internationally. The envisaged Two Day National Workshop on ‘Method and Approaches for Health

Research in Social Sciences’ is the need of the hour wherein understanding the socio-behavioural and cultural

context of health and healthcare has become paramount. The workshop will guide the research scholars,

students as well as practitioners who are interested in undertaking health research using multi-pronged

approaches like quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods ones for doing good scientific research. The

workshop is designed in such a manner that it will be useful for followers of disciplines in Social Sciences,

Humanities and Health Research. The Two Day National Workshop will be conducted virtually on 26th and

27th June 2021.
