Librarians Under "Administrative Staff" Category in Kerala Government
From reliable sources it came to know that a Government order would soon be issued by Kerala Government categorizing librarians under "administrative staff" category. A committee was constituted last year by Kerala State Higher Education council to look into the matter of grievances of non-teaching staff in aided colleges, government colleges and Universities in Kerala.The report submitted by that committee categorized librarians under "administrative staff" (see the attachment).
Two weeks back, there was a discussion with Government officials and various service organisations on the matter of implementation of the said report. None from library Profession were invited or attended that meeting. There should be positive move from library associations and senior professionals immediately before such an order issues from Governmental part. The saddening thing is that there is no single or common platform of librarians for raising voices against such injustices. ย

they are supposed to organize conferences and seminars.do attend KLA seminars.you will get duty leave for attending and also if u r a member then u get a discount for attending the seminar ( suppose the fee is Rs.1250 then u can attend the seminar for Rs.750 and get a bag, pen, and some white papers, food, tea) "its a associationย to develop academic excellence or to solve the problems of library professionals ?"

This is a time to show professional commitment. Some persons those who have strong voice are safe with their present positions, they will talk in conference about the theories but never use their political/social power to save library profession.
I request you to do something, In kerala we have good number of Library science department. The academicians, professionals need to take the issue.
