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 PhD programme. Shodhgangotri is now a vibrant project covering not only Research in Progress but also hosts Major-Minor Research Project /Post Doctorate Fellowship/Emeritus Fellowship etc. (MRPs/PDFs/Fellowships).

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. Now it a vibrant repository not only for Synopses but also Major-Minor Research Project /Post Doctorate Fellowship/Emeritus Fellowship etc. (MRPs/PDFs/ Emeritus Fellowship).

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.
