Fwd: Discussion on TA/DA for Librarians to attend Refresher/ Orientation Course
by Anand Dodamani 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Dear All, Greetings. In a shocking incident, the Academic Staff College of North Eastern Hill University has refused to pay TA/DA to a participant of its 33rd Orientation Programme just because the participant was a librarian!!! A letter issued to the participant librarian by the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, states that "the Librarians do not fall under the category of 'Teacher Participant' and hence not eligible for TA/DA". On reading this news in one of the discussion forums, I wrote to the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, seeking more clarification on the issue. In his reply, the Director has reiterated his stand of not providing TA/DA to the participant librarians. He quoted HRDC 12th Five Year Guidelines to support his stand. The Guideline says that a 'Teacher Participant' may be paid TA/DA'. The ASC-Director at NEHU is interpreting the rule in a different way and saying that "Librarians/ Assistant Librarians do not fall under the category of Teacher. It is an established fact that for all academic purposes, the librarians are equated with teachers and are fit to receive financial assistance for attending career development programmes of UGC. The Director of UGC-ASC, Amarawati University, Maharashtra supported this by saying that "librarians should get TA/DA for attending the courses conducted by UGC-ASCs. Now, it is a time, the Library Associations both at National and Regional Level should wake up and act upon. A detailed communication with the Director of ASC-NEHU is appended for your reference. Regards, Anand Dodamani Mumbai. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Thank You Date: 2015-06-10 13:07 From: Rajesh Singh <rsinghamt(a)hotmail.com> To: rakesh mohan <mohanrakeshdr(a)yahoo.co.in>, "anand.dodamani(a)tiss.edu" < anand.dodamani(a)tiss.edu> Cc: "rakeshmohan(a)nehu.ac.in" <rakeshmohan(a)nehu.ac.in>, "secretary(a)ugc.ac.in" <secretary(a)ugc.ac.in>, "ascnehu(a)gmail.com" <ascnehu(a)gmail.com>, " ascpune7(a)gmail.com" <ascpune7(a)gmail.com>, "ugcasc_ju(a)yahoo.co.in" < ugcasc_ju(a)yahoo.co.in>, "ac_staff(a)rediffmail.com" <ac_staff(a)rediffmail.com>, "ascuoh(a)gmail.com" <ascuoh(a)gmail.com>, "director(a)asc.mu.ac.in" < director(a)asc.mu.ac.in>, "ugcascgu(a)rediffmail.com" <ugcascgu(a)rediffmail.com>, "ascddugkp(a)gmail.com" <ascddugkp(a)gmail.com>, "mysoreasc(a)rediffmail.com" < mysoreasc(a)rediffmail.com>, "ugcasc_kuk(a)yahoo.co.in" <ugcasc_kuk(a)yahoo.co.in>, "ugcasc(a)asc.mu.ac.in" <ugcasc(a)asc.mu.ac.in>, "ugcascsu(a)gmail.com" < ugcascsu(a)gmail.com>, "bcgchemistry(a)gmail.com" <bcgchemistry(a)gmail.com>, " anandsharma_64(a)yahoo.co.in" <anandsharma_64(a)yahoo.co.in>, " ugcasc_bu(a)yahoo.com" <ugcasc_bu(a)yahoo.com>, "ascnainital(a)rediffmail.com" < ascnainital(a)rediffmail.com>, "asclko(a)rediffmail.com" <asclko(a)rediffmail.com>, "asc(a)bdu.ac.in" <asc(a)bdu.ac.in>, "asc_amu(a)yahoo.com" <asc_amu(a)yahoo.com>, " asc_ngpnu(a)yahoo.co.in" <asc_ngpnu(a)yahoo.co.in>, "ugcasc_ku(a)yahoo.com" < ugcasc_ku(a)yahoo.com>, "ascnbu(a)gmail.com" <ascnbu(a)gmail.com>, " drmanikbu(a)gmail.com" <drmanikbu(a)gmail.com>, "director.asc(a)pondiuni.edu.in" < director.asc(a)pondiuni.edu.in>, "directorasc_2009(a)rediffmail.com" < directorasc_2009(a)rediffmail.com>, "ascugcmzu(a)gmail.com" <ascugcmzu(a)gmail.com>, "asccu2014(a)gmail.com" <asccu2014(a)gmail.com>, "asclnipe(a)rediffmail.com" < asclnipe(a)rediffmail.com>, "academicstaffcollegegndu(a)gmail.com" < academicstaffcollegegndu(a)gmail.com>, "ascbu2006(a)rediffmail.com" < ascbu2006(a)rediffmail.com>, "ugcascindore(a)gmail.com" <ugcascindore(a)gmail.com>, "kanhaiyatripathi(a)yahoo.co.in" <kanhaiyatripathi(a)yahoo.co.in>, " ascmdsu(a)gmail.com" <ascmdsu(a)gmail.com>, "ascjodhpur(a)rediffmail.com" < ascjodhpur(a)rediffmail.com>, "mkuascdirector(a)gmail.com" < mkuascdirector(a)gmail.com>, "ascunike(a)yahoo.com" <ascunike(a)yahoo.com>, " ascgndu(a)yahoo.com" <ascgndu(a)yahoo.com>, "ascsu(a)rediffmail.com" < ascsu(a)rediffmail.com>, "office(a)ascbamu.edu.in" <office(a)ascbamu.edu.in>, " asc.sgbau(a)rediffmail.com" <asc.sgbau(a)rediffmail.com>, "asc.uoc(a)gmail.com" < asc.uoc(a)gmail.com>, "asc.utkal(a)gmail.com" <asc.utkal(a)gmail.com>, " ascpup2005(a)gmail.com" <ascpup2005(a)gmail.com>, "kannurasc(a)gmail.com" < kannurasc(a)gmail.com>, "ugcasc.kud(a)gmail.com" <ugcasc.kud(a)gmail.com>, " ascpuchd(a)gmail.com" <ascpuchd(a)gmail.com>, "asc_au(a)yahoo.com" < asc_au(a)yahoo.com>, "asc(a)unigoa.ac.in" <asc(a)unigoa.ac.in>, " ascpatna(a)yahoo.com" <ascpatna(a)yahoo.com>, "directorasc(a)yahoo.com" < directorasc(a)yahoo.com>, "ascgjuhisar(a)rediffmail.com" < ascgjuhisar(a)rediffmail.com>, "ascshimla(a)gmail.com" <ascshimla(a)gmail.com>, " info(a)ascrajkot.org" <info(a)ascrajkot.org>, "asstdirector(a)asc.buruniv.ac.in" < asstdirector(a)asc.buruniv.ac.in>, "sulaim_05(a)yahoo.co.in" < sulaim_05(a)yahoo.co.in>, "krjsingh(a)gmail.com" <krjsingh(a)gmail.com>, " asc.jnu(a)gmail.com" <asc.jnu(a)gmail.com>, "directorascggv(a)gmail.com" < directorascggv(a)gmail.com>, "ddvijayalaxmisingh(a)gmail.com" < ddvijayalaxmisingh(a)gmail.com>, "hrdcsection(a)gmail.com" < hrdcsection(a)gmail.com> Dear all, The definition of teacher does not mean only teaching staff it includes Librarian, Director Physical education etc. The definition of teacher is given in Mah. Univ. Act 1994 very clearly at the starting. Similar definition will be given in other state Universities acts. Moreover UGC regulation 2009 is not only for teacher it covers all categories i.e. the scale is for all. UGC is governing librarian that means they belong to teacher community. UGC is not for non teaching staff. You should be given TA/DA. There is no need of clarification from UGC.

someone to give me a better suggestion in place of commodity cellophane tape for barcode sticker
by Subir Mukherjee 17 Jun '15

We have decided to use laser printing barcode sticker for our library books. While it is essential that the barcode sticker should be laminated. I am not sure what kind of lamination I can do for this barcode stickers. Using commodity cellophane tape smears the laser ink even over short period of time. I request someone to give me a better suggestion in place of commodity cellophane tape.
