• PAKAPA-KAPA
ISSUES ENCOUNTERED IN THE STUDY
• Many Data are being gathered but it is too superficial
• Some answers of the respondents are arrogant and
impostured
• Respondents usually leave if they are not interested in
the survey specially if it is unprofitable or futile
ISSUES ENCOUNTERED IN THE STUDY
• Most of the respondents are having mistrust because
they don't have any idea about research
• Some respodents are hard to convince because they are
demanding
• A lot of time would be needed to achieve or to gather a
complete data in this kind of environment
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
• Some of the respondents do it because of their socio-economic
inadequacies
• Findings regarding their personal background seem to imply
that call boys are generally products of “inferior homes”
• This trade is generally underground in nature.
