Private engineering colleges exploit the library person's

[MANDIRA BAIRAGI]

is it correct or not?

[Apurba Jyoti Majumder]

Ya. this is correct.

Not only engg collegesm, all the private institutions exploit them

[Hedayat Hossain]

You are absolutely correct Ms. Bairagi. As I am working in a west bengal base private engineering college I know pain of private engineering college service. Most of the private engineering colleges are not giving  the proper salary to the librarian. Though some college have no infrastructure, adequate library service they are create a extensive presser to show the AICTE that they have facilities. three is no union or any sort of organization to protect the librarian of the private engineering college. They so do not pay-heed the status of the librarian, qualification of the librarian, unique service rule, even the leave rule.

[MANDIRA BAIRAGI]

Thank u sir for giving the reply. It is not only problem in West Bengal, I think it is a common problem in maximum state. I am working in a Vijayawada engineering college in A.P. , here also the picture is same. AICTE give the instruction about the minimum qualification of a Librarian and the basic pay but they are not taken the necessary action about it's implementation.

 

According to me another cause of exploiting the library professional is distance education or correspondence courses in the discipline of LIbrary and Information science. Some of the Institute{ e.g. Alagappa University Distance courses} are completing the Library science course so easily that one person who can't enter easily in any professional field but can easily enter in Library Science field by completing those distance courses.

 

AICTE not gave any instruction about the standard of the Librarian education where as they instruct about the standard of a faculty member(e.g.Second class B.Tech person can not enter in the profession as a faculty member) where as a person completed his/her Mlisc in 4 or 5 years in such distance mode Institution can enter in the field of Librarian. Management easily recruited  the Librarian in less pay or consolidated paying of some amount. But AICTE gave the same rank of a Librarian and a Faculty member but they are not enough concious about the problem in Library Science field.

 

Maximum member think that their is no work in the Library so why they paying more money by taking a well qualified Librarian, it can be manage by anyone else.

 

 

 

[Dr. N K Pachauri]

AICTE and other regulatory bodies should take necessary action for this problem.
It is also a duty and responsibilty of Library Associations to promote working conditions of the library personnels.

[Dr.Prabhat Pandey]

oh yes this ia absolutely correct.AICTE time to time give direction in this regard but pvt. institute dont bother. I think its a topic for discussion and take some serious action.

[Hedayat Hossain]

Thank you Dr. Pandey for your valuable comment? But what kind of action could be taken and what way it can be done? To which authority necessary action we except?

[Dr.Prabhat Pandey]

acttully we have to represent our problem to the concerning authority through differnt library association whethr it is state level as well as india level.we shud unite and start our struggle

[Sunita Pareek]

prabhat sir most of l library association leading members are established in good jobs ,why the will fight for us.sir its a reality

[Dr.Prabhat Pandey]

agreed but they fight for professionals from a long time thats why librarian got status at par with teachers.

[Sunita Pareek]

Should AICTE taken any action against the institution till now

[Dr. Nantu Acharjya]

Yes. it is correct, I have faced with that.

[Sunita Pareek]

I am also agree with you this is all because of unemployment
