Library staff ratio for AICTE approved 3 year Diploma colleges as per the students strength

[RAJANI CV]

Dear LIS professionals,

I am working in Central Govt. Diploma college from 20 years as librarian. Our college students and staff strength is now 650. From many years I am single handedly maintaining the library i.e daily transaction + students compulsory library hours, Digital Library etc..  It is very difficult to monitor and maintain the library by a single person. After several request to give one additional hand in 2011 the management provided one contract staff.  But now the new management head is harassing me why two people required for library. Centre head is assigning me additional work of training department. So please friends I am in need of AICTE rules for library staff ratio for diploma colleges. please help me.
