Disparity and discrimination due to CRC Report in Govt Libraries
by rajesh kumar 27 May '11

27 May '11

Dear moderator plz post this matter on the forum for discussion. DISCRIMINATION DUE TO OM 19(1)/IC/86 DATED 24.07.90 OF DEPTT OF EXPENDITURE,M/o FINANCE,GOI It is a matter of great concern for all library professionals, except the head/incharge of the library, who are employed with central govt organisation/ministries and wherein Chattopadhyaya Review Committee Report(CRC Report) has been implemented.There is great disparity and discrimination in the OM 19(1)/IC/86 dated 24.07.1990 of Deptt of Expenditure,GoI.As per different provisions as laid down in this OM whenever library is considered to be reviewed as per 18 variables suggested in the said OM the person who enjoyed the benefit of upgradation is only the head/incharge of the library.Rest of library staff ,whatever their qualification and experience is, not eligible or we can say not entitled and therefore not being considered for upgradation,etc.Its very sorrow affairs and a large numbers of library professionals are being suffered.Similarly it is difficult to imagine that not a single library association/professionals with repute has done anything in this regard. It has become fashion to talk about different issues like digitization, OSS,IR,OA, and many more but I never seen anybody discussing or raising the issues of library professionals governed with CRC Report.At one end they are not getting any promotion,excet ACP/MACP/ on the other their scale is getting down with every Pay Commission.Admin asstt in govt is getting 4600 GP being simple graduate while Library Inf Asstt only 4200 though possessess additional qualification. I hope and do request that professionals who are in commanding position in this field must address this issues at relevant platform only then this severe problem can be sorted out.
