Applications are invited
from PhD students in universities and colleges for one year access to EPWRF
India Time Series (EPWRFITS) for use in their doctoral research. This is to
promote Social Science Research through Online Time Series Data Services.
While all Indian Council
for Social Science Research (ICSSR) institutes access EPWRFITS under a separate
scheme, this scheme would enable wider access of PhD students outside the ICSSR
institutes to the EPWRFITS. The scheme is expected to greatly help research
scholars of universities and colleges who do not have easy access to such data.
This scheme has the
following highlights:
·
(i) Up to 50 PhD scholars will be given access to the India Time
Series every year
·
(ii) Access will be to students outside the ICSSR institutes
·
(iii) PhD scholars can request access to any 5 of the modules of
their choice which are given below and EPWRF will provide on-line access for a
period of one year.
On-line Modules
·
(i) Financial Markets
·
(ii) Banking Statistics
·
(iii) Domestic Product of States of India
