Thanks Sri Ashes Datta for your post.
However, honestly speaking, it evokes sort of mixed reactions in my mind! One thing to rejoice is expansion of the subject field but at the same time a market-driven thought engulfs emotion Yet One More..!!
Seriously speaking, my concern is for the new entrants and their probable prospects in the job market.
It is for sure that they will not be considered for direct entry to the posts of Technical Assistants/Library & Information Assistants in any National Scientific Research bodies like CSIR/ICMR/ICAR/DBTDAE etc. etc. because they require Post Graduate Degrees/Diplomas in Library Science in their present form of recruitment rules.
I feel that the University Department should take positive effort right from this moment to interact with these organizations and UGC to modify their recruitment rules so that the pass-outs can be accommodated in these organizations.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
