 Literature Review
• “Literature Review” means previous research works and the
findings of their works. For example; Dr. Wahid-Uddin
Mahmood wrote a book on the same topic that you are
working. So what he says about the topic? What are the
findings of his book?

• You have to search the related research works

(book/journals) as much as you can and mention in your
report.

• How to write “Literature Review”? For example;

Mahmood U. W. (2009) finds in his study that NGOS’s are not highly contributing to
alleviate the poverty rather he has found that most of the family were broken because of
NGO’s activities. He also found that the suicide rate among the village people increased
10% compare to year 2008.
 Conceptual Framework

• “Conceptual Framework or Methodology” means which

method you are following to conduct your research. If you
are just reviewing the previous works then you can write
“based on the previous literature”, if you speak to NGO
and collect the data that what is scenario of one particular
village before their presence and what is the scenario of
that village at present time. So you can write that
interviewing the NGO personnel and collect the data
(mentioned the year, like 2001-2009), village name,
NGO’s name, the interviewee’s name) and compared the
data.
