When a people like you asked for something, it becomes very difficult for us to answer.
Frankly speaking..
1. There are a lot of LIS Association / organization in India, every day new ones are coming, old ones are dying..
2. What the existing organization / association are doing also need to be evaluated.
3. The condition of already functioning organization / association are very pathetic.
4. Forming an organization is not a problem.. Trying to develop leadership role in the budding professional is the main problem.
5. Existing organization that are working actively is not because of the organization setup but due to the leader who are devoting their time and energy for it. But, when they will leave the association it will again go to the dormant stage (the seniors are not trying to develop competent professionals that can play their (seniors) role in their absent, rather they are trying to do something in their own.)
6. In such a situation, is it will be right to go for another new organization or to think of reactivating the dormant organization and to re-engineered it to serve the new purposes..
7. You are prominent in our field. What you have done is known to all. I think its the time to think not to do something for the field but to develop some one to the level of you so that in near future he/she can play your role in the field and continue to aspire us.. I think it will be of much value to us. (I may be wrong also).

If you still think you are right, in my next comment I will try to suggest a good name for your new organization.

End note: The "LIS Links" presently functioning in its condition, because I am still with it. But who knows when my last days will come.. What will happened to this work then? So, I am now trying to develop the professional to the level so that in my absent they can play my role. (People try to say I am migrating from LIS, by not seeing my article over any seminar / conference volume / journal, but is it right?. I am trying to do that, what others are trying to ignore). All these are just to mold your ideas for the best you can give to us.. for the profession as a whole.

thanks my dear Dr Barman. You have rightly pointed out the loop holes of oru profession. Let me make it clear, that the proposed Society is non political. Main idea and concept is to do more academic work and encourage the professionals who have desire and interest to do professional academic work. it may seriously think of doing some sort encouragement for creative writing, and encouragement is given thru prizes, gifts. it mainly plans for taking up projects interesting to the profession from various funding agencies. The involve the younger professionals into this projects so tht they get some money and desire in academic work.

"Knowledge Connect for Empowerment" seems to be good. But sir as per my knowledge goes "knowledge" is implicit (it is within the brain).. How you connect them?. Again the name is lacking the word "LIS", since it is a society for "LIS", at least the word "LIS" should be included in the name itself. What you will say about

Indian Society for Library and Information Science
Simple name, still may serve the purpose.
