Dear Dr Anand
Thank you for your inputs:
Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues
at least:
a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library
b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff.
I have not read the policy yet, but I definitely agree to your points. I
would add that the following details
1) Clearly list the objectives of libraries (as applicable in the modern
age) - a centre that is well equipped, be a training and research zone as
well
2) Professionally qualified staff managing the libraries will be regularly
retrained to be able to handle varied print and electronic resources, aid
in teaching research and are involved in the implementation of the
curriculum in the institution
Completely my views.

Dear professional friends,
Thought of sharing my views on new NEW EDUCATION POLICY on libraries (page 61 and 62 of the document)
I went through Library related policy content. Following are my observations:
Nothing new in it to bring transformation in libraries. However, overall education policy is good and it surely brings in transformation IN education system
Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues at least: a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff.
I believe, the above two will address all other needs and libraries will be impactful in society
Would like to hear from others.
(Views expressed are of my personal and not related my organization)

-- Thanks, Anand
