Need of a Central Body for Library and Information Science

We need a central body to regulate LIS profession. Today many universities offer this course but does not maintain standard.

Dear Mr Dinesh Ranghar,

I agree with your view point regarding need of a central body for Library Professionals, at least they can look for solutions for the hurdles they are facing. There is no such forum, which can help Librarians for their career. Everywhere in  most of the institutions, people from other professions are heading library staff, Like Chairman of the Library committee, it can be from any stream. Every where Librarians are  looking for CAS, and authorities are delaying the issues  in most of the institutions, In such cases  fast track solutions are required that can only be provided by some central body. This central body should be such which can guide UGC & ministry of HRD. Only then they can fight  for  genuine problems of librarian.
