The document outlines the major and minor objectives of research. The major objectives are to gain new insights into phenomena, accurately portray characteristics of individuals or groups, determine the frequency of occurrences, discover truths and facts, and test hypotheses of relationships between variables. The minor objectives are to seek knowledge, find solutions to problems through systematic methods, gain research degrees and benefits, face challenges, and be of service to society.

2.  Search for knowledge.
 Systematic method of finding solution to
problem.
 According to Clifford Woody “research
comprises defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis or suggested
solutions; collecting, organizing and
evaluating data; making deductions and
reaching conclusions; and at last carefully
testing the conclusions to determine whether
they fit the formulating hypothesis”.

3.  Desire to get a research degree along
with its consequential benefits.
Desire to face the challenge in solving
the unsolved problems.
 Desire to get intellectual joy of doing
some creative work.
 Desire to be of service to society.
 Desire to get respectability.

4. Major objectives
1. To gain familiarity with phenomena and
achieve new insight into it.
2. To portray accurately the characteristics of
a particular individual situation or group.

5. 3. To determine the frequency with which
something occurs.
4. To Discover the truth and fact.

6. 4. To test hypothesis of cause and effect
relationship between variables.
5. To understand social life and gain a
control over social behavior.

7. To know old conclusions with new data.
To find new conclusion with old data.
To reach more conclusions from available
data.
To explain unexplained horizon of
knowledge.
To put forward an entirely new theory.
To study and resolve contradiction in the
area of a study.
