It is essential to appoint a high power committee by our professional associations like ILA, IASLIC etc to study the problems in detail and act/represent accordingly. I also invite your attention to the issues prevailing in many autonomous organisations regarding the service conditions/salary structure/promotion avenues/ library grading/post and scale upgradation in tune with the Govt of India order on 4th and 5th CPC recommendations etc of Employees in these organisation. As you are aware, these organisations are not yet referred to the purview of CAT in service matters and hence there are number of service matter grievances and representations are pending with Management for a long. It is a big question as to which forum these employees should approach to protect their legitimate claims. It would be a different position if the remedy is a private law remedy as per the wishes of the Management.Hence I request all members intervention, who is actively associated with professional associations like ILA,IASLIC in this matter. I would also like to hear the views of Office bearers of these associations in this regard and let us know what they are going to do for these poor professioanl collegues. thanks, Sureshkumar, Librarian,Fluid Control Research Institute( Govt.

Dear Professionals,

This is biggest problem of our profession. Every where, wherever you go their is no clear cut guidelines for the practising library professionals. Because of this, our professionals are ruining their career. Is any association out there, who can take care pains of our professional colleagues?

regards, Rajesh
