- 2. O Creation of new knowledge through the practices of research and scholarship is a core activity of the university community and it lies in the heart of every university’s mission. Research and scholarship created within a university community should be disseminated in a large scale to the global world for building capacity of the institutional research and to make contribution in the global research output. Previously universities have depends more on print form of publication systems for disseminating and communicating institutional research output, but after the development of digital technologies specially Institutional repositories, universities are now in a better position to share their intellectual scholarly research output to the digital world in a fast, easy and convenient way. INTRODUCTION
- 3. Institutional Repository O Institutional Repository (IR) is a digital archive of intellectual scholarly products created by the scholar community of an institution or group of institutions accessible to end users both within and outside the institution.
- 4. OBJECTIVES O The primary aim of this paper is to explore the current scenario of the initiatives taken so far for building web based IR in Indian universities. The specific objectives of this study are as follows; O To find outnumber of web based Institutional repositories in Indian Universities; O To know the number of repositories registered with online repository database directory. O To analyse the characteristics of Indian University based online IR’s in terms of their content type, subject coverage, size, language, software use, IR policy etc.
- 5. O The survey method was adopted in this study to analysis the current status of online institutional repositories in Indian universities. Survey of all the Indian university websites have been done by the researchers for retrieving the primary data relevant to the present study. Research data was analysed and conclusions were drawn and presented in the form of tables in this paper. methodology
- 6. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS O This study was confined to explore the web based Institutional repository initiatives of Indian universities. All the central, state and private universities of India are included in this study which has an web based Institutional repository. O The limitations of this study lies in the fact that it covers only the web based institutional repositories of Indian universities and Institutional or Local Area Network (LAN) based Institutional repositories are excluded from the study.
- 7. O The study founds that a total of twenty seven (27) functional university based web Institutional repositories are present in India so far including Central, State, Private and Deemed Universities. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

- 10. Subject Wise IR O Study shows that out of 27 university based IR multidisciplinary repositories are highest in number with 24 (88.88%) repositories, followed by Social Sciences 2 (7.40%), health and medicine 1 (3.70%). It is clear from the present study that in most of the cases one repository archives more than one subject.

- 11. IR-Policy : Developing IR- Policies is an important, necessary, and complex activity during implementation of an IR. In the present survey of web based Indian universities institutional repositories it is found that only two (2) of the repositories have a clearly mentioned IR-Policies viz.

Institutional Repositories now plays an important role in academic and research institutions, where intellectual/ cultural outputs are being archived, managed and disseminated to the global world. Institutional Repositories are now undoubtedly recognized as an essential tool for sharing the scholarly research output of a university community. It is one of the best possibilities which can be utilised by each and every university community to make their research output widely available and accessible to interested users throughout the world. Present study gives a clear status of the web based IR’s of Indian Universities and from the results it concludes that Indian Universities are still lagging behind in developing IR’s in comparison to universities of developed countries.
