Dear Sri Karthiban Harikrishnan,

As you can understand that Libraries are ancillary/supportive departments. There are several departments in various ministries which have NO ACADEMICIAN at all. As such in government set up, a blanket coverage can not (& should not) be given to the Library professionals. I believe that you will agree with me at this point.

I presume what you intended to know  is, whether Librarians are included as academic staff in Academic Institutions be they funded by the Governments or not. Here you might have ( at least what I felt personally, please correct me if I am wrong!) wanted to know whether the "status" which includes Pay Scales, ranks and other benefits of Librarians in academic institutions are at par with the Teaching Staff of those institutions.

I am sorry for this rather long introductory narrative!! Anyway, it differs from  institutions to institutions. While UGC has accepted Librarians at par with Teachers (with some moderations of course) there are several other organizations (like CSIR/ICAR/ICMR etc.)where Librarians are Not given the status of Scientists. Interestingly, there arer bodies like ICSSR/ICPR/ICHR. where at some institutes Librarians are at per with the "faculties" but there are many where they are not!! i should add here that in ICSSR/ICPR/ ICHR though they are tagged with the suffix  like Science  &/or Research, they do not have any  designation as "Scientist" or "Researcher"  rather they feel it SAFE to address as "Academic Staff" because this is sort of Philosophical in nature and it encompass a huge boundary.

So you see that the case differs from place to place.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray
