Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 19:03:13 +0530 (IST) From: Dr. Nabi Hasan <nabihasan2002@yahoo.co.in> Dear Professional I am submitting few points before you and will request the Senior persons to take up the matter on association level with the MHRD and UGC before it is too late as the MHRD has deviated even from the original Chadda Committee UGC Report. It need to be tajken up urgently before the UGC notifies the same for implementation. � (1)In the initial document submitted by Prof. Chadha Committee under 5.15.2, there was an option for "Deputy Librarians and Deputy Directors of Physical Education may be considered for promotion to Librarian and Director of Physical Education respectively under CAS on lines similar to and under conditions of eligibility similar to those of Readers seeking promotion to the post of Professor. Senior most Librarian and senior most Director of Physical Education may be re-designated as Chief Librarian and Chief Director of Physical Education respectively. The MHRD document is silent on this and only states under Sl. No. 5 (d) (iii) that Deputy Librarians after three years in AGP of Rs. 9000 shall be eligible for appointment to the post of Librarian through open recruitment. University assistant librarian/college librarian(selection grade)/university Deputy librarian  can move to associate professors scale after 3 years but he/she canot moves to professors scale after 3 years even if he fulfills the conditions for such type of scales what associate professors have for such type of upward movement in universities  & colleges,. Then where's the parity remains. (2)On page 2 under Sl. No. 2 (a) (vii) Post of Associate Professor shall be in the Pay Band of Rs. 37400-67000, with AGP of Rs. 9000. Directly recruited Associate Professors shall be placed in the Pay Band of Rs. 37400-67000, with AGP of Rs. 9000, at the appropriate stage in the Pay Band in terms of the conditions of appointment. Compare this for teachers with Sl. No. 5 (c) (i) to (viii) for Deputy Librarians wherein unequivocal terms the document prescribes the Pay Band of Rs.15600-39100 with AGP of Rs. 8000 initially for direct recruited Deputy Librarians and they will move to the Pay Band of Associate Professors only after putting in three years in the AGP of Rs. 8000.If this is not a violation of parity with teachers, then what is this? (3)� If a teacher completed Ph.D. within 9 years, he is given the scale of 12000-18300 after 9 years but not a Librarian who gets the same after 11 years even having completed the Ph.D. within 9 years. (4)� In State Agricultural universities, Librarians are declared teachers and they are eligible for Study Leave, etc. but this Notification will deprive them of their present facilities.
