Shodhganga

Shodhganga (Sanskrit, from Shodh, meaning research and discovery, and Ganga, the river) is a national open access digital repository of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) submitted by research scholars to universities across India. It is maintained by the INFLIBNET Centre, an autonomous Inter-University Centre of the University Grants Commission (UGC) under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, headquartered at Gandhinagar, Gujarat. All submissions are freely accessible to the global scholarly community under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. Shodhganga was established in 2010, following a UGC mandate issued in June 2009 requiring all Indian universities to submit electronic copies of PhD theses and MPhil dissertations to INFLIBNET for centralised hosting. INFLIBNET Centre also maintains a companion repository, Shodhgangotri, which archives synopses and research proposals of PhD programmes in Indian universities.
