I would like to request the eminent researchers to guide us, which phase of the research the title has to be framed and on what basis? Thanks in Advance
Your title should be a clear description of your study in just a few words.
Like your keywords, you should use words in your title that people are likely to use when searching the literature, and words that will stand out when people see your title among others.

Some researchers recommend to include three elements at least: context, subject and object of study.
Dear Siva Kumar A.V, I fully agree with Michael W. Marek in that the title of your manuscript / research proposal / thesis should be as short and concise as possible. Try to avoid lengthy titles that go over 3 or 4 lines!
When you review a topic of interests and search a gap in the past research you phrase a title which shows you are working on a new gap
Thak you Mr.Frank for your suggestion. Is there any guidelines to be followed when frame the title? other than the points keep in mind as you suggested
Dear Siva Kumar A.V , in general, the title of a manuscript / research proposal / thesis should summarize the essence of the work in a few words. I can only give you an example from our field of research (chemistry). Here a good title would be e.g. "Synthesis and Structural Characterization of New Phosphorus Heterocycles". The title should also appeal to potential reviewers of the manuscript or research proposal.
The guidelines/suggestions as per the following papers may further help:
