What is project?

According to N.S. Harinarayana “Project is a opportunity for developing certain skills”.

That means to say that while doing the project we learn many skills such as writing skills, discussion skills, and how to approach a topic in different ways etc. so project is an opportunity for me it may comes only once. That’s why that opportunity must be used effectively.

How we start the project?
A project is not difficult but it is not easy either. It is done only by hard work. A project is completed under a guide’s supervision. Its can be based on a guide’s instruction and certain unspoken rules. Creativity is achieved through expressing an own ideas, observations /research.

How select the project topic?

Ø One can start by contacting the guide and asking some general questions about project.
Ø Then go to find out what sort of topic areas previous students have done, this is good source of information.
Ø Then go to search Library Information Science Abstracts.
Ø Lastly find similar articles in journals and what type of topics exists.
Here you really will get many ideas for how to select a topic, by now you will come to have a fair idea of topic.

Advantages of project
Ø To improve many skills such as writing skills –how to write a formal way? discussion skills – healthy discussion and how to approaches and how to formulate question a non-confrontational way?
Ø We learn what may be contents of questionnaire.
Ø We do a specific project to get same kind of focus search skills depth in a particular area for future under takings.
Ø Helps us to take positive or negatives feedback in the right spirit.
My feeling about project
Yes project is helps us to get many skills or ideas. It is an opportunity for our life. Project is one type of management, because we have to do plan for project, organizing sub topics, leading at end of this not any confusion.

We have to work hard and this way it is more effective because we would have been fully involved ourselves. It will be close to our hearts, if we completed it wholly by our own efforts. Not any one is a good or bad project or guide. When we take a project very seriously it is more successful. A bad project is that we neglect or not take seriously; the project itself is not bad. N.S. Harinarayana, says project success depending up on “if you only if it is 80% your own work and about 20% the supervisors guidance.
