UGC- guidelines for MRP
by basavaraj basavaraj basavaraj 16 Sep '13

Dear LIS Forum Manager,kindly publish the following  matter in the LIS .forum news. Dear Professionals,          " Librarians are the real practitioners in the LIS profession. But, unfortunately they are the ultimate sufferers of all opportunities and benefits" UGC has proved it by its XII plan guidelines for major/minor research projects. In its project guidelines UGC has clearly discriminated the Librarians with teaching faculty and extended the benefit of major/minor research projects only to teaching faculty of LIS profession. With this decision, Librarians working in the degree Colleges and Universities are certainly deprived from the benefits of MRP . But, based on the recommendations of various Committees on Higher Education and the judgments of the Honourable High Courts, UGC itself has considered the Librarians as Teaching faculty and extended the benefits of UGC scales, status and FDP (FIP) facilities to Librarians on par with the teachers. Hence, the question of any discrimination between Librarians and Teaching staff of Library Science does not arise.  Therefore, the Librarians have no need to worry and afraid of the present guidelines. We have already approached and discussed the matter with the concerned authorities of UGC. In case, the things are not settled / modified within a short  period , we will take this matter very seriously and struggle for our professional existence and survival. Let us wait and hope for the best. DR. GADAGIN B R( IFLA Fellow & Ex. Vice-President,ILA ) Selection Grade Librarian Veerashaiva College, BELLARY -583104 E-mail: gadagin_raj(a)rediffmail.com Cell.No 9448544310 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
