Research is actually an act of studying something carefully and extensively in


order to attain deep knowledge in the same. For being successful, research
should be systematic, arranged, summarized and recorded properly. Research is
not only a process that is limited to the field of science. It can, as well, cater to
people and scholars from artistic, historic or any other field where an individual is
willing to do extensive study to get relevant information. Research can be
creative, exploring or just reassuring in nature. Each one of us does some or the
other research in our lifetime for sure. Research can affect a subject both
positively and negatively and can be constructive or destructive in nature. Some
people believe that research is mostly destructive in nature. However, you need to
understand that its not the results from a research that determine its use; its the
people who handle the results. In the following lines, we have just tried to
emphasize the importance of research.

Significance Of Research

To Gather Necessary Information


Research provides you with all necessary information in field of your work, study
or operation before you begin working on it. For example, most companies do
research before beginning a project in order to get a basic idea about the things
they will need to do for the project. Research also helps them get acquainted with
the processes and resources involved and reception from the market. This
information helps in the successful outcome of the project. Expertise

To Make Changes
Sometimes, there are in-built problems in a process or a project that is hard to
discover. Research helps us find the root cause and associated elements of a
process. The end result of such a research invokes a demand for change and
sometimes is successful in producing changes as well. For example, many U.N
researches have paved way for changes in environmental policies.

Improving Standard Of Living


Only through research can new inventions and discoveries come into life. It was
C.V Ramans research that prompted invention of radio communication. Imagine
how you would have communicated had Graham Bell not come out with the first
ever practical telephone! Forget telephones, what would have happened if Martin
Cooper did not present the world the concept of mobile phones! Addicted as we
are to mobile phones, we need to understand that all the luxuries and the
amenities that are now available to us are the result of research done by
someone. And with the world facing more and crisis each day, we need
researchers to find new solutions to tackle them.

For A Safer Life


Research has made ground breaking discoveries and development in the field of
health, nutrition, food technology and medicine. These things have improved the
life expectancy and health conditions of human race in all parts of the world and
helped eradicate diseases like polio, smallpox completely. Diseases that were
untreatable are now history, as new and new inventions and research in the field
of medicine have led to the advent of drugs that not only treat the once-incurable
diseases, but also prevent them from recurring.
Proper
To Know The Truth
It has been proved time and again that many of established facts and known
truths are just cover ups or blatant lies or rumors. Research is needed to
investigate and expose these and bring out the truth.

Explore Our History
Research about our planets history and human history has enabled us to learn
and understand more about our forefathers and helped us learn from their
mistakes and absorb good things from their life. Research about the planets
history and existence has told us a lot about how things will shape up in years to
come and how we need to respect our planet and work closely together to stop
global warming and other scenarios of destruction.

Understanding Arts
This helps us in understanding the work of artists in literature, paintings,
sculptures and everything that can be attributed with artistic touch. If no research
is conducted into any of these, we will never be able to understand any of these
as per the artists imagination. Also, a lot of great artistic work is hidden in the
shadows of history, which needs to be drawn out.
