Dear Ms. Veena Tiwari,

In a generalistic view, the status of Librarians (and not only for librarians, but also for others as well!) are of two types.

One is  Sociological Status and the Other is Economic Status.And both are quite diverse. in govt Sector, the economic status is quite at par with other govt. sector staff in their respective ranks but the social status varies widely. And unfortunately, in most cases, it rather falls short of what it should be!!

In Private sector Economic Status is quite diverse in nature. Some times it is well above average (in comparison to Govt. Sector)  but mostly the status is below average as I presume. The Social status, however, is seems to be slightly better on an average if you couple it with economic status.

For instance, in govt. sector pay at the lowest ranks is around 15,000+ while on an average Librarians in Private sector earns nearly or even less than that sum. Now,  in comparison to a government staff of lowest rank, the social status of Librarians in Private sector is certainly higher.

(I would like to add in this respect that I have not intended to compare Librarians with lowest ranked govt. sector staff. My intention is solely to clarify my statement. See for instance, a Doctor' case. Whatever he/she earns is irrespective of his/her social status.In Calcutta within a stone throw distance from the Calcutta University, there is a Big hardware market and there are many shop owners whose individual daily income is supposedly more than the monthly income of the Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University. So economically, they attain much higher rank but socially, their status are a light year behind that of the V.C of Calcutta university!! )

Sincerely,

in punjab college and uni. good but in govt. school librarian less pay to clerk
