1. INTRODUCTION

Research is essential in every aspect to understand the unknown facts and to fill the gaps where knowledge and change can be created in every field. A research mainly causes an action as the output delivering high quality knowledge which can be applicable for the betterment of the individual, organisation or society. Research has its importance in each field to identify the issues or the strengths to either solve the issue or to make the strengths even better. Research needs high amount of work to be done to bring out the best outcome by collecting and analysing the data efficiently. Here the research I have opted is to bring about a solution to a societal issue in India by studying the key elements of success in a New Zealand society.

This definition describes research as a means of creative work which is done in a very systematic order to increase the knowledge gained and to use it for a better output. It includes basic research, applied research and experimental development.

Applied research is done with an a
