Cave research in India, encompassing the study of speleology and biospeleology, is still in its infancy.

Although there are thousands ofcaves in India, research expeditions occur in few states. The Siju Cave of state Meghalaya is the first limelighted natural cave from India. Several studies were carried out in this cave during the beginning of Twentieth Century. The Kotumsar Cave of Central India is one of the most explored caves of India. [1] Biologists have classified many types of cavernicoles, i.e. trogloxenes, troglophiles and troglobites, from this cave. Dr. Jayant Biswas is one notable researcher in this field; Biswas's effort not only explains the subterranean ecosystem properly but also various aspects of science related to cave study.
