What AILS LIS Research?

'Research is immoral if it fails to lead to the betterment of people' - said Prof. Scarlettee, an European anthropologist living in a remote village near Mandya in Karnataka for last 55 years. Most research in humanities and in majority of natural and social sciences have no direct application in daily life. Generally researchers themselves value 'pure research' more than the 'applied research'. Scholarly interest devoid of practical applications creates a vicious circle. Any research should give honest and serious thought to the utility of findings of the proposed research.
