Medical Science University in MP introduced ‘Digital Thesis’
Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University has introduced ‘Digital Thesis’ for the researchers to stop the flow of hard-bound thesis which can save millions of trees. Ph.D. researchers and post-graduate students can now submit their thesis in digital format.Dr. R S Sharma, Vice-Chancellor of the University said “students can now submit the PDF file of their thesis instead of the traditional format. We are implementing this innovation of digital thesis to protect the environment. This will also save money for Ph.D. researchers and post-graduate students. Now, these students can submit their thesis in PDF format instead of the paper thesis.”He also said that the work of conducting the thesis will be done online as well. He claimed that the university is the first in state to implement such a reform to protect trees. The administration will also be able to store the thesis safely for many years to come."Under the previous system that was in operation till a few days ago, the paper theses of PhD researchers and post-graduate students of medical education institutes would be carried to our headquarters in Jabalpur in vehicles. It takes a lot of space to store these documents. Saving the documents from moisture and termites was also a problem," he added.An official from the university said that the move will benefit more than 1200 students from various institutes. This will include the post-graduate students from allopathy, surgery, dentistry, Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, nursing, etc along with those of Ph.D. researchers."Thousands of trees will be saved if digital thesis could be started instead of paper thesis in all higher education institutions of the country. Besides, this will save money worth crores being paid by the researchers and students for preparing the paper thesis," Dr. Bhandari said.
