Librarians are out of UGC's Minor and Major Project Scheme ??
by Ajay Kamble 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Dear all, It is clearly mentioned in UGC's new guidelines for Major and Minor Research Projects that : 1. For Major Research Projects, *Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education, Principals and Vice-Chancellors will also be eligible to participate in the scheme. * 2. For Minor Research Projects,* * *Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education will also be eligible to participate in the scheme. * 1. Two words "Only" and "also" are creating Chaos in every library professional's mind. 2. Whether UGC consider Librarians as the teaching faculty or academic staff? 3. Does it means Librarians are kept away from the benefits of this scheme. 4. Then why Table of Minor and Major Research projects are still there in the API form of Library professionals? -- Thanks and Regards, Ajay M. Kamble Librarian Annasaheb Vartak Arts, Commerce, Science College, Vasai Road (W), Dist. Thane - 401202 www.mlsc.co.nr www.ajaykamble.co.nr -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
