“Research, teaching or problem solving that integrates several disciplines to create a unified outcome” -James Collins Research is Increasing of our understanding of how and why we behave the way we do. The simple theory of research is It Organises Information, helps to explain past events, and predicts new events. Research is based on work of others and past research guides new research but research is not copying the work of others.Repeatability is a sign of credible science as replication guides future research. Research should apply to situations outside of the study setting. It is not done in intellectual isolation and it is based on some logical rationale and it is tied to theory. When elements of two or more disciplines are used in research process it is called as multi-disciplinary research. Multidisciplinary working is often seen as revolutionary by skill-centered specialists but it is simply a fundamental expression of being guided by holism rather than reductionism. There are certain constraints for research especially when it comes to multi-disciplinary research as it involves professionals in various fields joining hands to derive answer or new direction to the field of knowledge. Objective: The objective of the study is to understand the constraints for multi-disciplinary research and know the ways and means to mitigate them from the knowledge frame. Research Question ( s) : (a) Is multi-disciplinary research is required? ( b) What could be the finest combination of research disciplines for multi- disciplinary approach? ( c) Is it a psychological, physical or intellectual barrier? ( d) What could be the ways of minimizing the barrier for the best result? Research Hypothesis: (a) Multi-disciplinary research cannot follow the steps of pure research (b) Multi-disciplinary research suffers due to psychological, physical and intellectual barriers. (c) It’s a strong tool for solving most of the social and economic problems. Methodology: The research was conducted by using both primary and secondary data. Journals and magazines were referred wherever needed to strengthen the inferences. The survey was conducted all over India on regional basis. Expected Result: This paper tries to explain the role of multi-disciplinary research in economic development and model for setting platform for such research. The practical experience of the author in the field of multi-disciplinary work is illustrated to understand the problems of such research and an overview of few research activities are highlighted to explain the pedagogy to achieve the desired goal.
