Emerging new paradigms related to intellectual property rights, the convergence of information technology and Open access initiatives has encouraged Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD’s) and today Shodhganga – a reservoir of Indian Electronic Thesis and Dissertations, is a showcase to the world of its research productivity that helps not only academic and research community but also to overcome duplication of research.
