Memorandum Submitted to Seventh Pay Commission

[S. Rathina Sabapathi]

Dear Friends,

        I have submitted a memorandum to 7th CPC demanding some benefits for Govt. of India Library Staff. Please all those concerned convey the same message along with your suggestions when you get a chance to meet the 7th CPC members on their visit to your city. Their next proposal is go to Bangalore. 

Thanking you,

NEED FOR A PROMOTION SCHEME FOR LIBRARY STAFF ON THE LINES OF EXISTING PROMOTION SCHEMES TO STENOGRAPHERS AND STAFF CAR DRIVERS

I, being a library staff would like to bring to the kind notice of the 7^th CPC on the few essential requirements for Library staff.

 

The library staff who have been rightly categorized as Common category staff have very less or no promotional avenues as these posts are mostly isolated or have only two levels in many of the government organisations.

 

Therefore the following changes in the system would bring a great relief to the library staff.

 

1. The library staffs are to be brought under one roof i.e under Department of Culture as an All India cadre as done in the case Hindi Officers/ Translators. Already efforts were taken on these lines but later dropped for unknown reasons.

 

1. As the library staff, generally do not have promotional avenues, a promotion scheme may please be recommended as that of Promotion scheme for Staff car Drivers and promotion scheme for Stenographers which is available to them in addition to MACP/ACP schemes.

 

1. The pay scale may please be upgraded to Rs. 4600/- grade pay to all library staff equivalent to the library staff at Central School librarians. (Given by the 6^th CPC but not extended to departmental librarians.) This is done because library staff must a minimum qualification of any bachelor degree with a degree in Library and Information Science. Thus two degrees are essential.

 

I humbly request to consider favourably the above given request for the benefit of library staff. The demands are very much justifiable and reasonable.
