Dear Ashish Maggo,
The first concept of setting objectives is that it should be SMART:
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Achievable
R - Relevant
T - Time-bound
It appears that your objective does not align with these parameters. I recommend adjusting your objective to meet these criteria. Make it more detailed by incorporating these parameters.
Thank you.

I disagree with Ashish Maggo.
Objectives can never and should never be SMART. That is for Goals to be.
By their very nature, objectives are lofty ideals which the exercise (training program, research project, feasibility study, etc.) set out to achieve. They are the result of an activity. Thus, anything that is the result of an activity can never be SMART. Instead, it is the activity and the method of going about that activity (Goals) that should be in sharp focus, hence - SMART.
Put it another way - Objectives are the 'WHAT' of any endeavor. Goals are the 'HOW' of that endeavor, thus SMART.
@houm21:
I have read your project objectives. My problem is not whether or not they are SMART. I've addressed that in the previous paragraph.
My concern is that your objectives are not contextual.
What I mean is they are too 'open and non-conformatory' in their scope and application.
While it's ok to think 'globally', any research project has to serve an end. It cannot sit in isolation.
So, perhaps you can consider aligning your objectives to a particular industry, domain, sector, demographic, geography, etc... That way, you will have clear bookends to work within, and, your project will have value to others and not simply end up gathering dust after it's been marked and you've moved on in life.

Thanks for the comments. Can anyone suggest at least one objective so that I may know in what direction to go?

Dear,
As you requested for a sample objective to assess the impact of talent management by increasing individual performance by 10% within one year. As I previously mentioned, objectives should be SMART. You can incorporate these statements into your policy, vision, and mission, but objectives should be specific to achieve the ultimate destination, which is the vision, mission, and policy. It is advisable to utilize the SMART criteria in setting objectives.

Dear Houm,
The revised title could be as below:
[TITLE]: To Study the impact of Talent Management initiative in the Tourism Industry.
@Gaurav Sareen: Your explanation is fantastic. There is nothing more to add.
@ashishmaggo08: It appears that you have a lot of confusion regarding the SMART concept, vision, mission, and so on. You may benefit from reading relevant books to clarify your understanding. As Gaurav mentioned, goals can be SMART, but how can objectives be SMART?
Ok...

Hey, I am still disagreeing with the above-said statements. Below are the details for you to understand the objectives.
All objectives should be SMART, i.e., Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timed.
Specific - Be precise about what you are going to achieve.
Measurable - Quantify your objectives.
Achievable - Are you attempting too much?
Realistic - Do you have the resources to make the objective happen (men, money, machines, materials, minutes)?
Timed - State when you will achieve the objective (within a month? By February 2018?)
If you are still thinking the same, then I can't help it. Please read some articles on how to make policies, objectives, vision, mission, and more. You people really need it. Everywhere it is clearly written that our objectives/goals should be measurable to achieve the ultimate policy, vision, and mission. So, before telling someone to read about the subject, one should know about it.
Thanks,
