you need a LIS Qualification for the working as librarian 

You need personnel contacts with the school authority to become a private sector librarian, not LIS qualification. School and colleges use to hire persons without LIS qualification and when there is an inspection going to happen, the school and college hire a person with LIS qualification just for 1 week to 1month and pay them up.

And the sad news is due to unemployment of LIS qualified personnel, people does the job even with very less payment.

This is not a single example, in fact one state university VC who appointed  5-6 librarian in different colleges under that university.their candidate without any exam.Collect huged money from applicants and recruited. After one month he retired. What anyone can do?

Many colleges in our state having persons who are having only BA or MA degree and are working as librarians from 10 years or more than that.

yes, it is true in other than private sector also. I am Library Incharge for the last 6 years, I didn't knew ABC of library science when I was given this charge.I was simply BA.  I learned it while doing working and all the routine working in Libsys software for my own interest. Now I have done BLIS course for my own purpose. Even in that course I didn't find anything which I can further apply in my library.

This is neither new and nor uncommon. As I heard (I have not checked personally hence I can not confirm authenticity of the news) that a couple of years ago in a Film and Television Institute funded by none other than Central Government, one non-professional person was made in-charge of Library.

In many universities even in Central Universities, professors are made in-Charge of Libraries years after years!. I wonder what will happen if a University Librarian is made In-charge of an University Department. Whether other academic staff will accept it.

yes I agree but it happens only when those institutions don't want to pay like a professional

Thank you for giving me nice response,

I know that you know very well about this bad profession, many times I thought, If I did ITI, MLT or any other normal course when I could earn more than 15000/- Rs. It is very bad that anyone can be a Librarian without qualification. Why we do BLIS or MLIS. UGC/Universities should close to teach this course.
