12. Triangulation can take five forms:
(i)    Data triangulation, which entails gathering data through several sampling strategies, so that slices of data at different times and social situations, as well as on a variety of people, are gathered
(ii)    Investigator triangulation, which refers to the use of more than one researcher  in the field to gather and interpret data.
(iii)   Theoretical triangulation, which refers to the use of more than one theoretical position in interpreting data.
(iv)   Methodological triangulation, which refers to the use of more than one method for gathering data. 
(v)    Interdisciplinary triangulation, which refers to triangulation of different disciplines.
The fourth of these is the most common of them meanings of the term. 
A distinction is also possible between within-method and between-method triangulation. The former involves the use of varieties of the same method to investigate a research issue; for example, a self-completion questionnaire might contain two contrasting scales to measure emotional labor. Between-method triangulation, involved contrasting research methods, such as a questionnaire and observation. Sometimes this meaning of triangulation is taken to include the combined use of quantitative research and qualitative research to determine how far they arrive at convergent findings.

Module Note 

Introduction
Gandhi said, “Earth has the natural resources to meet the needs of human race but not its greed”. He said this in context of his developmental vision for the human civilisation in consonance with nature. This assumes much importance due to rapidly growing population and limited natural resources on earth. The growth rate of population is much greater than the rate at which natural resources are replenished. We are witnessing a resource conflict at an unprecedented scale today largely due to the crisis we are faced with. The resource crisis is directly or indirectly responsible for the conflicts all over the world be it in the developed world or developing world. Our
