Librarians are excluded from FDP for the XII plan

Hi Professionals,

Now the guidelines to the Faculty Development Programme for the XII th plan period (for the period 2012-2017) is published. In this, Practising Librarians are excluded from FDP. Please check the section 3.1.8. 

Please think what we can do against this injustice? Why UGC committee members are always standing against librarians?

Thanks for raising the issue.
Librarians not having teaching experience are not eligible for UGC Faculty Development Programme, 2012-2017.
This is UGC's fourth hammer on Library and Information Science professionals. According to the Twelfth Plan guideline the practicing Librarians are not eligible for the Faculty Development Programme. I hope this time too there will be no protest.

Then UGC should not prescribe "NET/SET"Qualification under Librarian post.

I had gone for a interview for the librarian post in Delhi Public School. They said that librarian is  Clerk.  What is this ? I said to him that if librarian is a clerk then why Inter Colleges are being given him 4600 grade pay and Clerk is being given 1900 grade pay. They Said that they will inform me latter, I have still not received appointment letter. ha ha ha ..... No problem. I want to do librarian job in any intellectual state, I want to leave Uttar Pradesh. There is no future of library professionals in Uttar Pradesh until the illiterate governments come. Library Act is not yet enacted in Uttar Pradesh. 

This is very bad what they are thinking about the Librarians?

On the other side...

During 1st Meeting of the National Mission on Libraries (NML) held on Friday 18th May, 2012 the following decisions were taken

8 ) Training of library professionals is the key to develop libraries of the future. University departments that teach M.Lib degrees, and have reasonable staff, should be upgraded and trained for efficient library work. All M.Lib students should carry out library work during their studies and should be paid a stipend for that.

9)  Special funding be provided to the institutions and university departments that can train the librarians through short term courses. Such institutions should be identified and projects should be solicited. Enthusiastic young librarians could be sent abroad for a 1 year Master’s degree in ICT based Library science courses.

Any idea about implementing the same.…

Mr. Abhilash Achuthan I am 100 % agree with the point no. 8 and 9. If point 8 and 9 will be enacted then there is no need of experience for freshers.

Yes its time to improve our image.

Mr. Biju Varghese

              What action we have to be taken against the injustice of UGC has excluded librarians from FDP

Have u any suggestion?

We must protest strongly against this...  otherwise soon they will treat us as non-academic staff....  may be these exclusions are first part this....

We can think of approaching the court also... at least let us know the reason for excluding us from 12 th plan.  till now they did not give any reasons.... that is not right.
