Dear Biswas ji,
very rightly you have highlighted the efforts of AIFUCTO for the librarians' cause which is the result of continuous feedback and discussions by the Punjab College Librarians' Association (PCLA) and many other state associations. The Gen. Secy. of AIFUCTO Dr. Ashok Barman ji has sought a meeting with librarians' association to discuss the issues and chalk further action in this regard. I being the gen. secy. of PCLA request all state associations to join hands for our common issues and volunteer to assemble at AIFUCTO's Delhi office on a date suitable to most of us. The tentative date can be after the final phase of lok sabha elections (first sunday of May 2014).
Kindly give consent, suggestions and participate.
Regards,
Pardeep Rattan
Very soon we would discuss the matter with utmost seriousness in the EC meeting of WBCLA and obviously some representatives from WBCLA(www.wbcla.org.in/) will attend the demonstration as had been done previously also.
Is there no All India Associations for University and College Librarian's? We should have to raise the discrimination frm agencies like UGC. If we donot come together in an organised and raise our protest in time we might have to face grave situations in future. So rise up Librarians to fight for yourself and dont just feel protected under someone else umbrella.
yes sir. you are right and i am agree with you.
The proposal is no doubt very good. But the problems are-
1) There is no such national level association for university and college librarians in India who will fight with UGC for several legitimate demands of librarians especially who are in academic libraries.
2) Even whatever the national level library associations (for general purpose like IASLIC, ILA etc.) we have in India have tried in their own way to discuss the matters with UGC but the almighty UGC has silently taken the policy to almost ignore all those appeals because the Commission has assessed the voice of LIS Professionals as weak one.
3) At this point if the university and college librarians' legitimate demands are forwarded by national level association like AIFUCTO, what is the problem to support strongly by existing state level college librarians' association.
In the time being let us join our hands together to form a national level association for university and college librarians. But who will tie the bell in the cat's neck???
I agree that for time being we can put forward our grievances through AIFUCTO until we join together and I take the responsibility of forwarding this to the Assam College Librarian's Association. I hope someone from each state will also forward this to their respective state level association. We have to remember that this is not for the cause of some individual, its for the entire library community and it will succeed only if we proceed in team spirit. I hope someone agrees on it.
