The Vivekananda Journal of Research (VJR), Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies-Technical Campus (VIPS-TC), is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing research in a wide array of social science fields. The journal’s mission is to foster an understanding of the complex interactions between individuals, communities, and societies by publishing quality research that explores diverse social phenomena. We welcome contributions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners working across various disciplines including, but not limited to, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, psychology, and human geography.

We are particularly interested in work that adopts innovative approaches, such as mixed-method research, comparative analysis, and interdisciplinary perspectives, that push the boundaries of traditional social science inquiry. By providing a platform for critical dialogue and exchange of ideas, the VJR aims to contribute to both academic discourse and practical solutions for the pressing social challenges of our time.
