First of all I would like to know about your ILA membership whether you are member or not if yes than give me details.

ILA is not sick it is functioning very well.If you feel that it is sick. How will you contribute to make it healthy. 

Merely forwarding the message will not serve the purpose.

I would request you to kindly send the details of your work you have done for the profession other than your job.

So far my knowledge is concern I have not heard your name EVER IN PROFESSION.
you SHOULD know that ILA is not a statutory body it is a voluntary professional body.I hope you understand the difference.there are some problem in Gujrat also what have you done regarding that.
To criticise is very easy but to do some thing in positive direction is very difficult

I hope you shall respond to my reply

We should pray for Indian Library Association because ILA is suffering with Sleeping Sickness, so they can’t hear the voice and feel the pain of LIS professionals. Please forward the following matter with your best wishes to Honorable President and General Secretary of ILA. Every member of LISLINK should send the message so we could send our feelings to ILA.

 

Email:      [e-mail]                             Secretary

It's True for Library Profession

[Dr. N K Pachauri]

Mr Sanjay what is True

[Dr. N K Pachauri]

The reply of Mr. DV Singh  clearly shows that we have to fight alone because all respected leaders are not with us.Uttar Pradesh Berojgar Pustkalaya Morcha is functionin and we are trying our level best. The work done by us is a completely irresponsible statement, we are doing very well and every fortnightly we are sending and submitting our memorandum to  Government authorities. We are also trying to contact local MP/MLA to raise the voice in the parliament/assembly.

If we have the National platform we can do a lot more than respected professionals. 

[Sarvesh]

Dr. Pachauri,

If you feel that there is a lot of scope to improve upon the existing conditions of the librarians in UP and elsewhere provided you have a national level platform like  ILA, then I feel, the best way to workaround would be to guide the so called office bearers on what best can be done by them. This can be done by respective state level Library Associations.  We cant cry over spilt milk (We just cant keep lamenting about things left undone).  We have to together identify the best way out to get the same done. Is it not?

Let God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change;
courage to change the things we can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Dear Dr. Pachauri,

Hardly matters about ignourance of the people about regional contribution.  We have to united at national level. 

[Akash Singh]

 

Dear Dr. Singh,

I appreciate and regard your contribution for Indian Library Association but the matter is not only for blaming but also for future contribution for the profession.

I want to seek your kind help about the designation matter of the Librarians in University system.  As the required qualification for appointment of a librarian and professor is same, why we should not be at par in designation.  I have read allot about the legal contest of regional organizations about the designation of Librarian as Assistant Professor (Library), Associate Professor (Library) and obviously Professor (Library).  Our friends and seniors are facing exploitation by university authorities by not providing the facilities at par with Professors. IIT library professionals are not getting MHRD scales only due to their written designation.  The same problems are facing by librarians under other university system.  I hereby request you to follow the case at central level as a head of apex library association in India for betterment of future of library professionals.  I assure you that none of any library professional shall hesitate to co-operate you and association for this struggle. 

By the way i want to inform you that I am a member of ILA since 2008 and have not received and communication or newsletter or any journals since my joining except receipt of my membership fee.

Looking forward into the matter

Thanks and regards,

ILA organisation/President  should do something for our library professions  using there wast knowledge and experience I think this type of letter shows ILA president's view and vision of future library profession /New professional 

I think newer / Fresher Library professional are not criticised there expatiation very high from ILA which are not in ILA judiciary but  Fresher Library professional are knowledgeable, courageousness  &  going to positive direction. 

Thanking You,
