CHAPTER 1
1.1. Introduction: Introduction should provide the context and scope of the report. This
serves as a background to the subject of the report that subsequently follows. The reader
should be able to get a fair idea about the research.

1.2. Objectives: It should bring out clearly the purpose of this project

1.3 Literature Review: A literature review discusses published information in a particular

subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time
period. It is a summary of research articles in the similar domain which you have to write
in a precise form understanding the abstract, introduction and the conclusion of that
particular research paper mentioning the year and the name of the author

Example:
Neelam (2017) has noted the impact of demonetisation in the textile industry of India.
Demonetisation has affected the textile jobs, overall production and productivity,
enhancing working capital limit, worker and cash crunch etc. The organised textile sector
has welcomed the demonetisation as it will result in transparency of business transactions
in the international market. But the cash crunch has affected the purchase of new cotton
which in turn has reduced the prices of the cotton in the short run.

Sreeshma, Aswamalika and Aparna (2018) have studied the impact of GST on
selected branded textile product based on a primary survey of 50 customers using a
questionnaire in Kochi. The responses have analysed based on frequency analysis
method. The main objective of the study is to know whether there is any change in the
preference for branded textiles and change in price of branded products after
implementation of GST. The relationship between price and quality to brand preference
has also been analysed. It has been found that there is no significant effect of GST on the
branded textiles and customers are purchasing their choice of product based on quality.

1.4 Research Design/Methodology: This section brings out how the enquiry was carried
out; interviews were carried out or if any questionnaire were given. It also looks at how
the respondents of the interview were chosen. The data should be presented in an
organized and logically sequenced method. Usually it has several sections grouped under
different headings and sub-headings. The descriptions of the activities leading to certain
conclusions are contained in this section.
