Role of Regulatory Bodies to upgrade the working conditions of the Library Professionals

[Dr. N K Pachauri]

The affiliation to every school, college, institute and  university  is given by the various regulatory bodies such as CBSE, UGC, AICTE, MCI, NCTE, UPTECH  etc. All of these set minimum norms for appointment and pay scales of staff in such intitutions. I think these  bodies give more  emphasis  on the appoinment and pay scales of  the teachers of the intitutions  (especially in Private  Institutes) but they do not think and care  about  the appointment criteria, staff requirements and pay scales of the library professionals.

Is there any responsibity of such regulatory bodies in the selection,qualification and pay scales of the library professionals?

[Chiranjilal]

yes I agree but whose fault is that . I think we people are responsible . We join the institute at a less salary and so is the habit of management to hire the LIS  professional at a gross salary that to vary less.

We should raise our voice against these malpractices.

Lib associations( ILA)  should raise the issue and try to make correspondance with the concerned affiliting body.
