I am interested in doing Ph.D. in the area of Library and Information Science. Presently, I am working in Mumbai, India. and want to do ph.d., without discontinuing the job. Please guide.

Well if you dont want to discontinue your job then surely you should find a PhD in Mumbai that you can do part time. Hence why are you posting on a UK site?

Have you looked into part time studies on UK university web pages - they may even have funding for part-timers? I know UCL has a well established Lib & IS department. www.ucl.ac.uk/slais - Best of luck.

Rav, surely it would be difficult for Venkat to be doing the part time PhD all the way in Mumbai (where the job is).

Oops...I meant to do this via distance learning :)
