CPPLGG NLUO organises sessions for students and faculty

The Centre for Public Policy, Law and Good Governance organised two capacity-building sessions for students and faculty from different research centres on August 8, 2022. The first session was on ‘Research Data Management’ focusing on the use of tools like excel and google spreadsheet to make data management easier, cleaner and time-saving. The second session was on ‘Online Data Collection’ to acquaint students and faculty of law with locating and using the already available data sets for research.

The session was attended by students and faculty associated with different research centres of the University, with the objective of better equipping these Centres to excel in their areas of research. The session was conducted by Mr Apoorv and Mr Gaurav of the CivicDataLab. The resource persons introduced the participants to various problems with regard to organisation and analysis of raw information in tabular form. They shared various nuggets of techniques which will help in better analysis of data collected and drawing meaningful inferences from the same. They explained the ideas by solving various sample problems.

The session was interactive, with the participants being given the opportunity to solve the sample problems themselves before being introduced to smarter techniques of solving the problems. Valuable insights on the doctrinal aspects of the problems were given by the faculty members present in the workshop making the same more interdisciplinary.
