National Conferences's Attraction is over: 4th Amendment of CAS

As per the 4th amendment of CAS. There are only 3 point will get to you for National conference and it is not for publication, but presentation of paper. No marks for paper publication of paper in National conferences.
Yes, if you are invited for lecture, you will get additional 5 point. But question is that who will invite you. Because everybody inviting university librarian, deputy librarian, member of board of studies and so on. It is a time to change the style of National conferences. If you are going to National conferences for collecting point, it will be wastage of money, time and valuable research paper.

Good news Sir. Please upload the copy of this news in support of your view.
4th amendment is already available on ugc web anyone can download.

Dear Dr. Dandgawhal,

Many thanks for your post and addressing a very tricky issue without any reservation!!

There had bee an excessive zeal to attend conferences and publish papers in ISSN/referred journals by a large number professionals who work under the purview of UGC.

As a result some trash journals also cropped up which used to publish substandard articles.  Though we all knew it well still you have publicly made it clear that the reason is  just to earn points to be eligible for getting the higher pay scales virtually without acquiring the requisite expertise/knowledge.

Hopefully, from now on, this notorious trend will slow down. Only those who are capable and competent, will venture for writing articles or contribute papers in conferences.

There is no denying that quantitatively there will be lesser number of papers but on an average, the quality will enhance. It is bitter yet true that these activities are not meant for all and sundry and one must understand and accept the reality of one's limitations and not aspire anything beyond his/her capacity.

Still there exist an excessive desire to get a Doctorate with which ever topic possible. God knows how they get the guides and how these "Guides" accept scholars with such dull research topics.

Just a few days ago. I was in a selection committee where I observed an individual presented 9 papers in conferences and published nearly equal number of papers during a tenure of 7 years after M.Lib. Sc and in between, the individual also completed Ph.D.

I was amazed to see how "active" the individual had been!  Unfortunately, during the interview, the individual was simply unable to tell the Five Laws of Library Science in exact sequence!! The first and the 5th were ok but jumbled the second and the third laws and could not clearly remember the fourth Law!! The Ph.D topic too was extremely dull and quite surprisingly, the individual was unable to answer certain questions pertaining to the study.

I feel that the UGC should certainly think about these issue with practical sense.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray

It is not good for College librarian

i saw in many conferences they just give 1 mins to speaks to others . conferences and seminars should be for learning something new every one must get equal points and additional points must given  to best paper and best paper presenters

 

Thanks Ms. Arora for your post and the comments. Unfortunately, many of the participants only participate to get a certificate & a conference paper to their credit. They are just for earning some points. Dr. Dandgawhal has correctly mentioned that the ATTRACTIONS are over!!

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray
