Many times it may happen that we are not interested in our research topic. There can be many reasons for this. Sometimes, we notice that the research topic is not interested any more and hence no growth in the research. At that point of time, one must approach to the authority for changing the topic.
Moreover, Scholars even can change the methodology of their research work if it is not suitable. For this, scholars need to talk to the DRC.
