Hi Manohar,
You are absolutely right, your research experience in UG helps a lot when
you come for MS/PhD
Better opportunities and waivers come to those with prior research work
You should approach any professors near you and work with them on areas of
research that you like
If you can publish at least one research paper in your UG it will be awesome

Meanwhile you can work on some projects which will help you build up skills
and also help you understand current research issues

All the best
