Universities play a crucial role in generation and application of new knowledge through research. In India over Rs. 3000 crore is invested annually for doctoral research at about 450 universities and laboratories which produces over 30,000 dissertations per year. If this research is to be beneficial to the society its findings should contribute to economic and political development resulting in social changes. Unfortunately results of this public funded research have become hardly useful to society and for further research due to lack of access. Duplication and plagiarism in research prevail due to lack of exposure to the research already done. This seems to be a continuing phenomenon even though advancement in ICT has made excellent means to provide access to the results of research. Even though UGC has made various attempts during last decade to develop such archives at Indian universities and devised various instruments for that only MG University has come forward adopting UGC recommendations in this regard till now. The MGU archive was formally launched in 9th November 2008 by HE Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, the former President of India stating that ‘the project is an important step towards the democratization of knowledge and that he was sure the model of digital archives created by MG University will be emulated by other Indian universities leading to transparency in the education system’.
