The Mother of All Library Association in India MALA is not Proactive
Dear Professionals,
I am sorry, as a life member of MALA, I find this association is not proactive.
The fact is
No Newsletter since sept 2012
No AGM since sept 2013
No Events since 2014, only mailers on IEEE society, conference and seminars, are received by the members.
In 1933 Mr K M Asadullah who convened the first All India Library Conference in Calcutta, requested Dr Ranganathan to be its president. But Ranganathan declined this offer as he was busy with the work of Madras University Library and Madras Library Association.However, he agreed to be one of the Conveners of the Conference,
Ranganathan drafted the Constitution of the proposed Indian Library Association on behalf of the Madras Library Association. This was adopted on 13 Sep 1933 and thus ILA was founded.
When Ranganathan become the President of ILA he was not a member of the Executive Committee of the Association. It was an embarrassment for him when it was pointed out at the EC meeting held in Patna in 1946. Ranganathan then realised the need for amendment to the constitution as the President had no powers except to preside the general body meeting once in two years.
Thanks
Abilash A.

Dear Achuthan,
I will not comment on the MALA as I am not the right person to talk on this.
However, I felt the need of a Library Newsletter from the comments left out by the LIS Links members at different points of time. And as a result, from this year onward we have decided to bring out a newsletter (in the format of a executive summary). It needs to be mentioned here that in our past we also put an effort to bring out a newsletter and nine issues were released, but it was not accepted by most of the members. So, latter on we were forced to abandon the concept.
Now we are of the view that we have learnt from our past mistakes. We hope our new format will be liked by the community. Here is a draft of the site we are working: http://lisnews.lislinks.com
If you want to display the news in your own blog or website here is the code for that

Kind Attention
Dear Abilash
What you were mentioned about the Association is 100% correct. Because Upcoming Library professionals are eager to Uplift their career so that they are member this kind of Association but Association Office Bearer are serious in their work so thought Library Association are Club . So what They want Library Professionals should join this Association . Main Motto of the Association are develop their Image among other People and degrade of Library Profession is main theme.
