Dearย 

this is a rangnathan formula for library professional in a library.

Dear Amit Singh Gate Hour isย Ranganathanโ€™s General Staff Formula:ย A mathematical formula for calculating staff strength

Circulation Section: One person for every 1500 hours for which one gate of the
library has to be kept open in a year.

Professional Staff
SB + SC + SL + SM + SP + SR + ST

SC = Number of persons in circulation section
G Number of gate-hours for a year
= โ€”โ€”โ€” = โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
1500 1500

One gate hour = one counter gate kept open for one hour
