It would be of interest to all researchers, postgraduate students of any discipline and basically targeted to PhD aspirants. The workshop emphasises that a thesis must have a formal structure and a standard style. It requires careful planning and writing skills. Clear writing reflects clear thinking. The quality of research is mirrored in the thesis. Therefore, it is a crucial and difficult stage in research. Keeping this in mind, topics for the workshop have been selected based on the rich experience of a group of senior professors who have guided and assessed research work. Scope: The workshop is planned to cover the structure, style and strategies related to writing a thesis. The spirit of the workshop meticulously takes care of the following few points. The content of the workshop does not interfere with the research guide's way of supervising the work, but it only supplements his/her task. It is designed to save time, money and heartburn of researchers. It is independent of the theme/subject of research. It does not intend to teach research methodology. Contents: The workshop is aimed at giving a number of practical tips in the following areas. Strategic planning of writing process or what do the referees look for and how to meet their expectations. Conceptual organisation of the information gathered from various sources for writing.
