This is a very good reference no doubt.
However, I am afraid technically it is a bit critical in application for library personnel worked as trainee or apprentice in various organizations.
The order clearly mentions that proficiency certificates issued from BOAT only will be accepted for apprenticeship of at least one year duration.Does any experience certificate issued by Librarians/Heads of Institutions comply with the above order?

Yes Sir, Proficiency Certificates issued from BOAT are considered.
After completing graduation in LIS, a person can register with BOAT Regions for apprenticeship training.
Once the employer request the BOAT for registered graduates, those applicants are called for the interview by the employer, as routed through BOAT.
After completing the training period the BOAT will issue the Proficiency Certificate.
Certificate Issued by Librarians/Heads of the Institutions will not comply with the above mentioned order.

This is a very justified step taken by the Honorable Govt. of Kerala. It is the real justice with freshers and young professionals. It will give the satisfaction to the young professionals to work as trainee or apprenticeship. Yes, it is correct which is judged by the Honorable Govt. of Kerala, training and apprenticeship makes a fresh student and professional to work and handle the libraries functions in practically hence, this experience should be counted as real work experience and their work equal to a permanent or non trainee employees.
This order will positively affect to the choices of the young professionals to choose the job.
Thanking You, Honorable Govt. of Kerala.
