Theses and dissertations are known to be the rich and unique sources of information, often the only source of research work that does not find its way into various publication channels.
Theses and dissertations remain an untapped and underutilised asset, leading to unnecessary duplication and repetition that, in effect, is the antithesis of research and the wastage of huge resources, both human and financial.
The UGC notification dated May 5, 2016 mandates submission of the electronic version of theses and dissertations by the researchers in universities with the aim to facilitate open access to Indian theses and dissertations for the academic community worldwide. This would overcome the serious problem of duplication of research. As per the regulation, the responsibility of hosting, maintaining, and making the digital repository of Indian electronic theses and dissertations (called “Shodhganga”) accessible to all institutions and universities, is assigned to the INFLIBNET Centre.
Shodhganga@INFLIBNET is set up using an open-source digital repository software called DSpace, developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in partnership with Hewlett- Packard (HP).
