This paper describes vital steps of a formulating research problem. Formulating research problem is like the foundation of building to be constructed. i.e. Formulating research problem is the base of any research. The choice of formulation of a suitable problem is one of the most difficult task for researcher. The formulating of problem can be said to be most important and main stage in the research activity. Without the formulation of problem research activity will be futile and will not even produce any result. A researcher must find the problem and formulate it so that it becomes susceptible to research. To solve a problem someone has to know about the problem. In each field or area of education, several problems exist which may have reference to pure, applied or action research. With the formulation of research problem also the reader become aware of the result and objective to be conveyed in a study.
