JSSIR is a peer refereed, bi- annual journal of the Department of Humanities, NED University of Engineering and Technology. The journal will act as a forum to encourage discussion and research about significant issues confronting societies both local and global. The scientific investigation about social phenomena in different contexts and areas of human interaction is an attempt to create awareness about the central issues confronting societies; and to suggest solutions that are based on research findings. The social sciences research is imperative in improving our immediate and larger environments; and the interdisciplinary focus will enable capturing complex issues more holistically through the knowledge in a variety of subject areas that would expand the horizons while looking for plausible explanations, implications and proposed remedy.

A.Christakis
The social sciences offer equal promise for improving human
welfare; our lives can be greatly improved through a deeper
understanding of individual and collective behavior. But to
realize this promise, the social sciences, like the natural
sciences, need to match their institutional structures to
today's intellectual challenges.
Marshall McLuhan
"A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted
for insight and understanding.”
Joseph Stiglitz
"The notion that every well educated person would have a
mastery of at least the basic elements of the humanities,
sciences, and social sciences is a far cry from the
specialized education that most students today receive,
particularly in the research universities."
Noam Chomsky
"Language is a process of free creation; its laws and
principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles
of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even
the interpretation and use of words involves a process of
free creation."
