Section Two: Reasons for choosing this research project
Reasons for choosing the project (e.g links to other subjects you are studying, personal interest,
future plans, knowledge/skills you want to improve, why the topic is important):
All country rely on an effective individuals. Individuals that are considered on the
management that will help the management in attaining their goal and targets. Medical
department plays an important role in engagement and retaining the manner of skilled of an
individuals for the management and medical department plays as important manner in
retentive the manner of the skill individuals with management. Health management covers the
concept of COVID-19 that is clarified as dealing with an individuals in the country as
effectively by figuring their sections. Health department plays a major roles and
responsibilities that involves in managing the sections to provide a suitable sections in respect
to secure them from the impact of COVID-19.
By providing them adequate terms to create skills and knowledge to secure themselves from
the impact of COVID-19. The trends are changing with time and in respect to be competitive
in an individuals to secure themselves from the impact that plays an important role and
individual plays an important manner in increasing the services and facilities. Research will
help in understanding the concept of Covid-19 on the mental health on population. Individuals
will concentrates on the growth of country and safety and security of an individuals by
executing various sort of important changes in the country and make sure that every individual
will function and perform their work as per to their sections for increasing productivity and
profitability as effectively.
For measuring the manner of research, the researcher will identified two main factors in the
manner of personal and professional. as in the personal way the subject related to the
investigator and it will also help him to understanding the concept of coronavirus and the
manner of medical department that how it will help in solving their issues in an effective
manner.
As on the other side, in professional way then investigation will help the researcher in
understanding the matter of the topic that helps the researcher in developing their skills by
understanding the manner of sense of knowledge in the present case. There are various benefits
and advantages of conducting the investigation that develop the abilities such as analytical

skills, reasoning abilities and many more as those abilities or skills will help the researcher in
their personal growth related to the research.
Section Three: Literature sources searched
Use of key literature sources to support your research question, objective or hypothesis:
Literature review will help the researcher in knowing the subject and it will supports in
bringing out and effective and efficient investigation that will supports in maximizing the
broader term of skills and abilities that will related to the pandemic situation of COVID- 19.
As it will also help an individual to evaluate their health and safety skills as socially. There are
several researcher who are already deeply studied about the various standard opinion that will
also support the nation in implementing various variations. The research is supporting several
nations as a cross to the world and also help abled candidates.
As per the view point of Peat, J.K., Mellis, C., Williams, K. and Xuan, W., 2020, most of the
country in modern world are not domestic any more. They are applying safety measures to
decrease the issues of an individuals to progress more and more. For this, it is required for
these country with diversified talents and good knowledge of doctors, understanding of
behavioural as well as economic aspects and also those who understands various niches of
markets well. The country have to concentrates on motivating individuals that will help them
in maintaining their valuable citizen of India.

Section Five: Research approach and methodologies
What type of research approach and methodologies are you likely to use and why? What your
areas of research will cover:
Research methodology is the manner of the method or technique that are utilised to determined
or to select various key terms to evaluate the source of information that relates to the subject. It
will also help in figure out the way of the topic that are related to the researcher in determining
the manner of sections of the topic. It will also involve the several stages that are taken by India
to overcome the impact of covid-19 pandemic situation. The following the search will figure out
by utilising research on the topic. This concept of theory will include the various factors and it
will also include the several stages and sections that will also help in in defining the research
and their plan of action as effectively and efficiently.
Research Philosophy
Research philosophy is defined as the abilities that termed as the way through which the data
can be gathered and get evaluated and we'll used by the researcher in their research. The manner
of research philosophy will also supports in measuring the way of exemption for the research
and it will also concentrate on selections of choices and their manner of design in the research.

Epistemology research is the orientation of validity and knowledge of information that are used
in the research and on the other side ontology in research is the manner that will term as validity
of resources of information. As in research there are two philosophical sections as according to
the studies that a positivism and interpretivism. The positivism relates to the process and it also
involves the information for supervision that suppose the researcher in gathering the information
and identifying the information as effectively. On the other side interpretivism is defined as the
manner of understanding the theory of study and it will also supports the researcher in
measuring the collected some of data.
Research Approach
Research approach is the approach that will utilise the manner of the research on specific section
and the way by which the researcher to accomplish their goals and objective as effectively. The
section will also supports in developing and adequate approaches to bring out the research on
the following subject. As there are two techniques that are inductive and deductive. Inductive
approach will define as the creating of the concept and deductive approach will defined as by
evaluating the current concept that are based on previous findings. In creating hypothesis on the
literature review and focus on importance of hypothesis and the manner that how it will
functioning in the manner of research subject.
Research strategy
Research strategy is defined as the implementation of various approaches of pants for the proper
manner of research it will also supports in identifying several sections that includes in research
like interview, research surveys and literature reviews and many more.
Research choice
The manner of research choice is defined as the plan of any research that will support in
evaluating the data that are connected by a researcher in their research. As per to the research on
young there are several methods like Mono- method, multi-method and mixed methods that are
termed as the manner of method which involves several sections that are used to conduct the
investigation by the researcher.
Data Collection
The manner of data collection is defined as the plan and approaches that are utilised to collect
the information from several sections. The data collection will concentrate on investigation and
gathering of the data. As there are two main sections for the gathering or collection of

information that are primary and secondary as effectively.
Sampling
Sampling is defined as the plan of research that used in the supervision that are taken from a
large manner of observation. It support in developing linking of the research with proper and
suitable study. Sampling method are allocated into two sections like Probabilistic and Non-
probabilistic.
Time Horizon
The time horizon is refers to the period of time frame by which research might be completed in
the manner of longer period of time. As there are too kind of time horizon in the research on that
are longitudinal and cross- section as effectively in the research that are used by the researcher.
