ShodhGanga operates on the technological framework of Dspace, a platform recognized internationally for its adherence to established protocols and interoperability standards. The repository's web portal, ShodhGanga Website, constitutes a comprehensive resource offering pertinent information to students, research supervisors, and university authorities. It encompasses a range of topics, including but not limited to the obligations of stakeholders, access guidelines, procedures for submission, and the structural framework of metadata associated with ETDs.
"ShodhGangotri: A Repository of Synopsis Submitted to Indian Universities for Enrollment in Ph.D. Programs"
The initiative known as "ShodhGangotri" serves as a complementary endeavor to the pre-existing "ShodhGanga" platform. While "ShodhGanga" functions as a comprehensive repository housing complete theses submitted to universities across India, "ShodhGangotri" is specifically designed to accommodate endorsed research synopses tendered by aspiring scholars seeking enrollment into the Ph.D. program within Indian universities. In pursuance of this novel initiative, designated research scholars and their supervisors within university settings are urged to furnish electronic versions of the officially sanctioned research synopses, which are pivotal for the purpose of enrollment into the Ph.D. program.
The repository established under the aegis of "ShodhGangotri" serves a dual purpose: firstly, it serves as a medium through which prevailing research trends and trajectories within Indian academic institutions are discernible, and secondly, it functions to mitigate the likelihood of research redundancy and overlap. It is worth noting that the synopses archived within the "ShodhGangotri" repository will subsequently be correlated with the comprehensive full-text theses accessible through the "ShodhGanga" repository.
