Applications are invited from eligible candidates for recruitment to the post of "Librarian and Library Apprentice Trainees" on a temporary contract basis
The Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amaravati Campus, Andhra Pradesh is inviting applications from qualified candidates for the post of a Assistant Librarian.
IISER Thiruvananthapuram invites online application from eligible candidates for the Library Superintendent (UR-1) Group: B non-teaching position on regular basis.
Re-designating the post of Librarian
It is high time to re-designating the post of Librarian in school and colleges because they are not getting the promotion and career advancement benefits. Although they are getting the benefits at par with teachers but they do not consider as a teacher when they apply for post of principal. Once they are designated as Lecturer (Lib I Sc) at college level and TGT (LIS) or PGT (LIS) at school level the channel of promotion will automatically open for them.
The post of Physical Instructor has been re-designated at both college and school,levels respectively as Lecture Physical Education and TGT (Physical and Health education) so librarian should also given the same cadre, benefit and status.
If you have some suggestions and recommendation for the same please share your views.
I request to Mr. Badan to compile all the views on this discussion and send to all the Library associations and to the Ministry of HRD. we should fight for our status and cadre like ANNA.
With Regards

Mr. Karak
AIKVTA is doing nothing in this direction. I have post my comments to Mr. Mazumadar but there is no response from his side.

Dear Dr. N.K. Pachauri,
I am totally agree with you. A Librarian is a sum of all teachers who have to collect, store and disseminate information on all subjects instead of sticking on a single subject. There must be some policy supporting promotional aspects of School Librarians upto top level like other subject teachers. I have served for KV Tinsukia (Assam) for three month. The situation of Librarians is very much parellel to clerical staff. We must stand up to enhance the status of Library Professionals and the designation "LIBRARIAN" must be repealed and placed at par with Teaching Community who are just serving for one subject instead of emphasizing on muti subjects like INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS.
