Objective: The aim of introducing this paper is to develop skills in different types of research methods applicable in the field of population studies. The whole course has been divided into four major parts. The focus will be given on sampling design, data collection and analysis techniques in the both quantitative and qualitative studies in the field of population. In this paper, students will also be given one week orientation on how to write scientific report and research paper. It intends to build the capacity of students in terms of developing a full fledge research proposal for various social setting and analysis of units. A. Sampling:
1. Determination of Sample size under different designs and cost.
2. Estimation of population means and proportion, standard error, general issues in variance estimation.
3. Sampling and Non-sampling errors.
4. Sampling Frames: Sampling from perfect and imperfect frames.
5. Multistage sampling, purpose of stratification, choice of primary sampling unit, determining sample allocation in primary sampling units.
6. Probability proportion to size, selection, unequal probability of selection, estimation of sample weights, design weights, weights for unit non-response and post stratification.
7. Sampling of large scale demographic surveys (Design, Sample Size, and Content): DHS, WFS, NFHS, RCH, BSS, MICS, NSSO, IDHS etc.
8. Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) Surveys

B. Qualitative Data Collection Analysis
1. Systematic methods of qualitative data
