Abstract
ShodhGangotri is an open access repository of Indian research in progress which is a new initiative that complements ShodhGanga – the reservoir of Indian theses. ShodhGangotri hosts electronic version of approved synopses and research proposals submitted to the universities in India by research scholars for registering themselves for the PhD programme and reveals the trends and directions of ongoing research in India and helps to avoid duplication of research. This chapter examines the current status of ShodhGangotri in different aspects namely universities, issue date, discipline, and state. University-wise analysis shows that 48% of the total number of synopses is submitted by Shri Jagdishprasad Jhabarmal Tibrewala University, 8.9% by Swami Ramanand Teerth Marthwada University, 8.7% by Dayalbagh Educational Institute, and 5.7% by Mahatma Gandhi University, and they occupy 1 to 4 positions, respectively. The chapter concludes with a suggestion that all universities and research institutions should make it mandatory to submit approved synopses and research proposals at the time of their PhD registration to make it experience the pulse of ongoing Indian research.
