Since the team had no information on necessary parameters such as standard deviation, the sample size was determined by using the following formula with 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error at the project level: n = Z²P(1-P)/e²Where, n=Sample size, Z= Value of the standard normal variate, P= Proportion/Probability of success Q= 1-P, e= Margin of error. The study was involved in collection of data both from the primary and secondary sources. Different types of data and their sources are discussed under the following heads: Primary data have been collected through field survey. One set schedule of questionnaire was used for the respondents. The data thus collected have been subsequently processed, tabulated and analyzed for the purpose of the study.
