Dear Sri U,ashankar G.
Thanks for your post.
I fully and completely sympathize and understand your sentiment.
However, as my knowledge goes, according to UGC rules, it is not possible to promote you straight way. They have to announce for open selection, invite applications from people (and you can certainly apply if you are eligible ) conduct interview for the selection process. It will be open selection, if you can sucdeed certainly you will get the appoint as FRESH APPOINTMENT" and not by promotion. For promotion to next higher scale there are MACP scheme of Central Govt and if your Govt. follows it, you willl be promoted from Library Assistant to Senior Library Assistant. To illustrate please consider a situation: suppose there is an office assistant in your College with M.Ed. & Ph.D. now if a teacher retires, do you feel that the individual can be PROMOTED to the post of ASST. Professor?
I hope you will understand the situation.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Dear
Thanks for the post
In Haryana Government Colleges have already promoted from junior librarians to college librarian with the qualification only for M.Lib. Sc. so, it is possible for the promotion of Assistant Librarian to College Librarian as per Haryana Government college librarian Policy and you may approach to Government of Haryana for the reference.
