In addition to that I would like to give more information on the subject to the professionals that Prof. Sukhdeo Thorat, Chairman, UGC has launched the IETD (Indian Electronic Theses and Dissertations) Portal on 27th January 2010 on the occasion of Foundation Stone laying ceremony of the INFLIBNET Institutional Building at INFOCITY Gandhinagar. The IETD portal is available for access at http://ietd.inflibnet.ac.in. This initiative was taken after the UGC providing mandate through the new regulation of M.Phil/Ph.D. (more about the regulation read on my blog at http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/blog/?p=312) where UGC directed the awarding institution to submit softcopy of the thesis to INFLIBNET repository. See the Foundation stone laying ceremony at http://www.youtube.com/inflibnet#p/a/u/1/824hHMSuaVw On the occasion, Prof. S K Khanna, Chairman, Governing Board, INFLIBNET Centre launched the Open Journal System @ INFLIBNET Centre.
