Research has always been regarded as the most important intellectual activity in the higher education system, therefore this research article aims to provide a comprehensive picture of doctoral research carried out by various LIS departments of India. Universities offering regular PhD programme were identified using various primary/secondary, online/offline sources. A questionnaire was designed for data collection and the same was sent to the heads and faculty members of LIS departments of these universities by e-mail/in print. Based on data collected from 81 departments located in 22 states of India, the growth and development of LIS research in India since the award of first PhD in 1950 till 2012 is traced.
