INFLIBNET starting developing a National Union Catalogue of ETDS in India and INFLIBNET can assist them in formulating the policies training and necessary funding. The ETD repositories should be properly uploaded and maintained in order to provide accessibility of research work. There is increased need of discussing these problems globaly and UGC, INDEST consortium an open Access Advocacy Group, ICSSR and National knowledge Commission. are Playing key role in framing National policies for digitization of theses and dissertations in India
