ShodhGangotri: Indian Research in Progress
Shodhgangotri is a new initiative that compliments "ShodhGanga". While "ShodhGanga" is
a repository of full-text theses submitted to universities in India,
Shodhgangotri hosts synopsis of research topic submitted to the
universities in India by research scholars for registering themselves
for the Ph.D programme.
The word Shodh originates from Sanskrit and stands for research and discovery. Gangotri is
one of the largest glacier in the Himalayas and source of origination
of Ganges, the holiest, longest and largest of rivers in India. The
Ganges is the symbol of age-long culture, civilization, ever-aging,
ever-flowing, ever-loving and loved by its people.
Under the initiative called ShodhGangotri,
research scholars / research supervisors in universities are requested
to deposit electronic version of approved synopsis submitted by research
scholars to the universities for registering themselves for the Ph.D
programme. The repository on one hand, would reveal the trends and
directions of research being conducted in Indian universities, on the
other hand it would avoid duplication of research. Synopsis in
ShodhGangotri would later be mapped to full-text theses in "ShodhGanga".
As such, once the full-text thesis is submitted for a synopsis, a link
to the full-text theses would be provided from ShodhGangotri to "ShodhGanga"
ShodhGangotriIndian
Research in Progress repository at INFLIBNET replicates academic
structure of each university in terms of Departments/ Centres and School
each university has. This structure facilitates research scholars from
universities to deposit their theses in the respective Department/
Centre.
