Dear Colleagues,
The UGC once again has started its nefarious designs to exclude LIBRARIANS from the various provisions in UGC XII Plan Guidelines (2012-2017) like- Grant of study leave for college librarians with pay; Exclusion of Librarians from Faculty Development Programme and from awarding Minor/Major Research Projects when the fact of the matter is these provisions were in olace in UGC XI plan from 2007-2012.
Friends we must wake up and united we stand for our rights and genuine concerns.I request all Library Associations in India to make representations to MHRD/UGC for granting our rights otherwise it shall play havoc with our careers in the coming years (read pay commissions).
Thanks and hoping for action,
Pardeep Rattan
Gen. Secy,
Punjab College Librarians' Association.
