Dear Professionals , I strongly support Mr.Ghani and Mr. Vinod . We should not encourage this action at all hence not only blame Mr.Naved but also should appeal to take action against the supervisor who eats money from this heinous activities . How can a professional do this . I personally feel more than Mr Naved this supervisor is to be blamed and should be punished . Best regards Hena S Gupta Corporate Librarian Bangalore.

I am delighted to see the affection of Mr. Vinod towards fighting the wrong doers in our noble profession. I appreciate his will and assure to help him to any extent he wants in putting barricades to such malpractices. I do not fear to be disclosed, as fighting for genuine rights to save our profession from culprits could not make us fear. After a long struggle and with help of many of our LIS researchers and contacts we have marked some culprits who have defamed our profession. They are in process to get their fake doctorate degrees and even some supervisors are a helping hand to them by charging good amount of money from the candidate. The most disgracing is that AMU, one of the first university to start a bachelor course in Library Science has such researcher. Mr. Naved Ahmed one of a researcher from the department of Library Science of AMU has produced a fake application and doing job abroad. According to his application he is aside from the department for data collection, but the reality is he is having his job in middle east. There are enough evidence against him. Out of this, the most shocking is, he pays a hefty percentage of his salary to his supervisor to get his research done on his behalf. So the question of this hour is, that is such researchers will bring laurel to our profession or is it a trend in our filed to have such researchers? Up to what extent such researchers can be a good academician to bright the future of library science? If such research can not be barricaded the genuineness of research will be questioned and no doubt the genuine student will have no place in-front of such fake degrees. The moral support of our genuine researchers will go down if such type of research is promoted. On behalf of all LIS researchers I urge all of our library professionals to kindly come up with your strong protest against such malpractices on LIS network where a researcher is trying to get a fake doctorate degree through paying a hefty amount.

But the major thing is who will take initiave for such type of bad activities although we have lot of powers given by our constitution like RTI Act, Human Rights, Consumer forum etc. I simply wanted to say we must use such type of powers to reduce the shortcomings if you can't then let me know in details i will raise the questions under RTI without disclosing your identity.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" * **Does the UGC allow a university research scholar to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection?* Dear LIS professionals Greetings!!! As we are aware that UGC is the highest governing body to ensure high quality education in India. The way UGC has come up with research funds, is no doubt appreciative at every account. Every central university is bound to follow the norms of UGC Act/Ordinances/ Rules and Regulation. For each sect within the university, UGC has its own norms and regulations. *So keeping all the UGC Act/Circulars/Rules and Regulation in concern, the question arise after seeing the current trend that does UGC allow a research scholar of a central university to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection? * We have been going through lot of posting on this forum in regard to the improvement and trends of LIS, as well as its a hot topic in this forum to change the current scenario of the LIS. The question at this hour is that researchers are the pillars and path to come up with new innovation to their respective fields. But, it seems to be a trend in the university and specially in library science department producing fake researcher who never ever paid heed to their research and being awarded a doctorate degree by the end of their duration confined by UGC. Is this type of researcher will bring change who had their thesis copied by some one else, doing job abroad and their guide working on his/her behalf, deceiving the department and enjoying other monetary benefits on the name of data collection, paying a hefty amount to the supervisor of his/her income. I will be pleased to hear the answer to my question on this forum specially by senior academicians of LIS profession, experts of LIS profession, serving current and ex LIS member professionals to UGC and from all who want to improve the scenario of LIS profession. * * Thanks With regards, Syed Raiyan Ghani.
