Dear Librarians, I have some queries to share with you. As an eligibility for MRP Grants from UGC is : "Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education, Principals and Vice-Chancellors will also be eligible to participate in the scheme."

This criteria is limiting Librarians doing Projects. 1. May I know the reason behind excluding us? 2. Are librarians not an academic part? 3. Are librarians not eligible to conduct research? 4. Teaching and Research are two different things. Rather research is another dedication, another motivating factor. 5. We Librarians wish to do many experiments in our libraries, therefore UGC support will go a long way. 6. Teachers have very little scope to concentrate on research, if they are teaching the prescribed syllabus sincerely, while librarians have limitless scope to investigate problems, experiment new things and for that your positive decision will prove to be motivating factor. 7. (inevitably comparing)Teachers teach what is prescribed and may be more than what is prescribed and keep learning new things. Librarians do practice, explore, experiment, implement, re-search what is learnt and keep learning new things.
