Dr. N K PACHAURI, Socially speaking, a noble profession. Economically good enough but academically common people mostly seems it as a sitting job and less valued.

not so good, in academics the teachers,lecturers and even the management think that the library work can be perform by anyone and to take a librarian in proper scale is useless and the result is the appoint the librarians at very low scales..sometimes below the satisfaction level
