Dear Sri Niranjan Mahapatra,

This is a good news and we also follow it in our library to make best use of our limited infrastructure. so also many other institutes. However, it is different that those who who are exempted of such censorship/imposition are working brilliantly. I am just putting on record certain statistics.The Report of the Fourth Review Committee of ICSSR published in the year 2007 (Indian Council of Social Science Research) reveals that in the year 2006 in the journal Economic & Political Weekly  45 articles were authored by the academics of Indian Universities;   20 articles were authored by academicians of ICSSR institutes (ICSSR has 27 institutes altogether) and 5 articles were authored by academics from Indian Colleges  That means altogether 70 articles were published by our illustrious  academicians while total number of faculties in Indian Colleges, Universities and ICSSR institutes is more than 20 Thousand!! (One can easily get the exact number from the UGC website )

My comment is based upon a table in p.20 of the report of the 4th, Review Committee of ICSSR dated March 2007.

As I presume these faculties have never faced any imposition or embargo, Admittedly, a good number of these people might not have access to Internet or e-materials Still there is no denying that a large number of them and virtually most of the University faculty have access to INFLIBNET's journal packages. So if the teachers are in the banking terms what is called NON PERFORMING ASSETS what good will do if we restrict students?

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Yes It's the right step and student should understand the preciousness of their time as well by their own.
