Dear Ms. Neetu Priya,

Thanks for your post and addressing an extremely important issue.

It is really painful but this is also a reality because it is a

simple instance of marketing theory of Demand and Supply.

The approximate estimated requirement of Library professionals in India

seems to be around 1750 per year of which 15% of the vacancies require experience of over say 8 - 10 years;

and 25% re require experience of 2 - 8 years For the rest 60% fresh candidates are required.

Now just take the case of West Bengal. There are six universities conducting B.Lib with say 40 students and M.Lib with say 15 students each. As such, each year 240 B.Lib and 90 M.Lib Sc. students are passing out from Universities. Estimated equal number (if not more!)of  students are passing out every year through distance modes of educations. As such roughly speaking, 500 B.Lib.Sc & 200 M.Lib. Sc. qualified people are coming out from West Bengal only while the state requires barely 10% of  the total pass out manpower and 90% becomes excess.

Cases for other states are quite similar.

With the advent of outsourcing and contractual services in government organizations (which generally recruits 95% of the total manpower) huge surplus manpower is accrued every year. If the recruiters can buy cheap labour why they should pay higher price for comparatively same quality of  service? Never-the-less, we, the old fellows are no less responsible for the situation to some extent as often we render less service in comparison to the money we are being paid which also creates adverse reactions among the recruiters.

Summing up, the situation is really complex and it requires serious thoughts from academia and the professional associations as forums on one side and we the partly responsible individuals on the other.

 

Good Luck!

No Madam, It is not justice.It's a kind of exploitation of Library professional.

Agar Aap m Quality h to koi v Aap ko Achchi Salary Pay karega,,,,  kam pay m job ni karna chahiyeeee

 

Thanksssssss 

I agree with you all.

Even an illiterate can earn this much of money n we are post graduates.sorry but true.. freshers have to work , because they need experience without which they can't apply anywhere..even the toppers, PhD scholers and other good students have no other choice. when this exploitation of we professionals going to be end.??

This is the learning of freshers why people takes it as exploitation ? Why they don't have patience ? A learner should take it as advantage rather exploitation. Rs. 5000/- is the capacity of the individual institutes, not a fault of a M. Lib.  student.

A talented student cannot stay more than six months, in an organization on a fix amount of Rs. 5000/-.

Sir..It seems u r the only satisfied person...

even IIT's are giving 5-8000..now what say IIT's are not capable?

It is not a question of my satisfaction !! I know some of the students who work with IITs and other institutes as trainee, and settled in reputed organization in the LIS field. I m also one of those.

It depend upon the student how they takes it whether an opportunity or an exploitation.

As regard to IITs capability, off course they r capable, but we have to thanks and acknowledged the opportunities opened to LIS professionals.

true sir..It depends on us whether we take it as opportunity or not. Me too currently working in ICMR as lib n info trainee. and hoping for the best for my future.

Best of luck for your professional career. B+

thanks sir..
