Really good news for Library Science professionals.

[Manjunath K S]

This should implement all the State governments also, this issue we have to bring in front of State governments to implement in their PU colleges.

[Arshad Ali]

This is an effort towards library literacy / information literacy to emerge India as information society.

[Ashok Mistry]

A great recognition towards the changing role of the formation of the subjects. I wish all the Education board in different states will follow this positive attempt, we only the library professional can think the importance of this. Before coming this profession I also have a least knowledge about this like other general people. In every institution there should be a qualified librarian as per rules but most of the people do not know what the actual is and where it is studied. I think this perception will made a little change the current scenario of our education system.
