Dear Amit Singh Gate Hour is Ranganathan’s General Staff Formula: A mathematical formula for calculating staff strength

Circulation Section: One person for every 1500 hours for which one gate of the
library has to be kept open in a year.

Professional Staff
SB + SC + SL + SM + SP + SR + ST

SC = Number of persons in circulation section
G Number of gate-hours for a year
= ——— = ————————————————————
1500 1500

One gate hour = one counter gate kept open for one hour
