Dear Mr. Akash, I think UGC has not stated Librarian as a teacher anywhere. But the pay sacle and qualification is at par with that of lecturer/reader and professor for college librarians,university asst.librarian/Deputy librarians and University librarians respectively. In Maharashtra the Maharashtra Universities act 1994 has included college librarians,university asst.librarian/Deputy librarians and University librarians in the definition of teachers.

Dear Professionals,

Librarians are neglected a lot i.e, in Pvt Colleges.They are treated as ministerial staff. Does he/she does not come under Academics? While appointing the Lectures & Librarians in degree colleges UGC has made NET/SLET of M.Phil is compulsory for both.No such qualifications are necesary for appointing clerks or any ministerial staff. Then why this discrimination? I would like to have solutions from experts. & can I get soft copy of UGC rules & regulations in this issue so that I can show to the concerned authority.
