First you try to appoint at least one staff member qualified to guide PhD student in Library Science in the research centre. See earlier postings related to the irregularities at your university. First you need a qualified head. Without that the student or some one picked up from the street will have to develop syllabus.They will conduct course. This is all cheating the public.  It is very interesting to see this posting when the Centre is functioning without a single qualified research guide. Are you a student or guide at the Centre. Ar you aware of the funny affairs of the centre you try to talk about.  Clarify.

The files collected under RTI MG University and cases pending at Loka Ayuktha and High Court from reveals that the Centre for Advanced Research in Library and Information Science at MG University was envisioned by one of the senior renowned information science professional from India. But he was pressurized to restrict admission to MG University staff only and when he objected he was ousted and under the influence some library science people from the university the center was shifted to Social Science Department having not even a single PhD holder in Lib Science or other required facilities. None of the PhD aspirants from the university or professionals inside said a word against these irregularities. And Librarians and officials of the university till now wanted no involvement of Library Science PhD people and continuing of the the center at non library science department for mysterious reasons. The best proof to show the attitude of the insiders are when Syndicate appointed the senior most library Science professor as the permanent member of the Library Science Research Centre all the professionals and organization stood together prevent the implementation of the university Order. He was not called for even a single meeting as per the order even though some ten batches have completed PhD there since that University order appointing him. The Centre has an interesting history to show how the librarians destroy the profession

Librarians themselves are worst enemies to their profession.
