Status of Librarians in India
by Ajay Kamble 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Dear all, We have a few questions for all our respected forum members.... Q. How Librarian is a Teacher ? Q. Why Librarian should get a Teaching Status ? Q. Do UGC or Central or State Government had ever accepted Librarian as a "Teacher" ? Had they made such provision in some Act or Law? Q. According to section 2(34) of the Maharashtra University Act 1994, Librarian is in the definition of Teacher. But whenever anything is awarded to Lecturers, Professors by the Government(such as right to contest election, grants, salaries, study leaves, pension, retirement benefits etc.) Librarians had to request and struggle at each instance to make special provision for them. Why ? Q. "Librarians are not engaged in classroom teaching. So their work experience is not Teaching experience" Says Laws. Your comments please? Q. "If Librarians work experience is not teaching experience, they cannot contest for Senate or LMC elections" Recent news in Maharashtra... Please comment on this also... Q. Further, "If Librarians work experience is not teaching experience, they cannot apply for the post of Principal". One case is there again in Maharashtra... Please Comment... Last one... Q. If the above three statements are true, what's the exact Status of Librarian ? While Answering 1. Please dont repeat replies or points given by other persons. 2. Please do send documentary proof if any to in support to your comments as it will be helpful to all the (suffering) librarians community. 3. If this queries will remained unanswered, then we may conclude that somewhere there is a big question mark on the "Status of Librarians". The documents received under this query will be available to all at Status of Librarians<http://sites.google.com/site/mloscsite/buacla-news-2/librarians-and-senate-…> Thanks and Regards... -- Ajay M.
