International Conference on “Transforming Libraries through AI for a Smarter Knowledge Future” (ICTL–2026) at Kalinga University, Naya Raipur, Mode: Hybrid (Online & Offline)
7 Pay Commission Recommendations
7.7.32 Libraries exist in almost all the major ministries and departments of the Central
Government. Based on the recommendations of a Review Committee chaired by Professor
D.P. Chattopadhyay, these libraries have been categorised. The categories range from Level I
to Level VI, with the National Library, Kolkata being categorised in highest Level VI.
7.7.33 The Commission has received memoranda from various library staff associations. They
have highlighted the issue of stagnation of librarians across ministries. Demands for upgrades
for all levels have also been made.

For detailed report page no 232
7.7.35 The Commission has studied the educational qualifications required and the job profile
of different levels. The Commission is of the view that the posts are appropriately placed
and no upgrade is justified. The Commission, however, suggests that the Ministry of Culture
as the nodal ministry for this category, carry out a census of Central Government librarians.
This would give a better picture of the extent of the problem on account of isolated or ‘stub’
posts, so that career progression alternatives could be worked out and the problems of
stagnation can be suitably addressed.
The news for library assistant are not happy as the anomoly for library asst is not resolved by the pay commission.

Like the 6th CPC, 7th CPC has also remained indifferent to the librarian's causes. There is nothing for the librarians in it. The paradox situation will be that the librarians will be gearing to purchase a hard copy of the 7th CPC but they will find nothing that is suitable for them. we are completely shocked and broken.

Dear Sir
As Ministry of Culture has already given node for the upgradation of pay they why again the
7pc suggests that the Ministry of Culture
as the nodal ministry for this category, carry out a census of Central Government librarians.I am unable to understand the logic of the commission

Grade pay of LIA & ALIO is not upgraded to 4600 and 4800 respectively in the 7th pay commission recommendations and again they have referred it to the ministry of culture.
In this case what we can do next to achieve the same. we are ready for any kind of support.
