  The electromagnetic form factors have attracted lot of theoretical and
experimental attention recently as they encode extensive information on the
internal structure of the hadron. An understanding of the form factors is
necessary to describe the strong interactions as they are sensitive to the pion
cloud and provide a test for the QCD inspired effective field theories based on
the chiral symmetry. In view of the very exciting recent developments in the
field, we propose to apply the techniques of chiral constituent quark model to
measure the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon.The results obtained
are comparable to the latest experimental studies and also show improvement
over some theoretical interpretations.
