Dear Vishal Bhaskar,

As you are librarian with Digree College with complete requisite qualification, may i ask you that whether you are getting the full UGC scale or anything else. If you are getting the full scale as per ugc norms, then you can put ugc regulations in support of your query. It is available on UGC site www.ugc.ac.in under recruitment rules.

Dear Mr. Vishal

Thanks for sharing the news. You all please do accept the Allahabad HighCourt Verdict decision that Librarian as Lecturer But the inclusion of Librarian in the Definition of Teacher is not sufficient. But the Post must be redsignated as Assistant Professor in Library (exact nomenclature may be discussed in later course but in all cases it must be prefixed by Assistant Professor) otherwise century long deprivation wil continue behind the designation of Librarian. It is a fact and no body can ignore it. UGC has already gave its recommendation which was passed by the HRD that Teacher, Librarian & Physical Instructors are academic staff as all they require same qualifications for entry in the service. In that logic indirecly UGC as well as HRD has already eaquated Librarian as teacher. But unfortunately neither our govt nor authority gave any facility or privileges usually enjoyed by our teacher friends in terms of leave, study leave, leave for seminar/conference/workshops etc. So far GO of various state govt is concerned very recently Maharastra Public Universities Act 2011 has included librarian in the definition of teacher. It is historic in its own right. I do not know whether their cabined has passed the Act or not till now. You can download the Act by searching in Google. I think they also passed the GO that librarians are eligible to become College principal. Really it is appreciating and salute to all library organizations in maharastra. Fire has begun in maharastra and it must be reached rest of the country.
