Respected and Dear All Library Professionals
Please see the below email from AICTE. Please give your valuable suggestions to improve our profession, specially the need of Librarian in NEP-2020 as well in the Hand Book of AICTE that there must be a need of Librarian due to such real need of librarian's work. ( The work should be written and sent to the AICTE about what different kinds of roles are played by the librarian in the current scenario. The status of Librarian is equivalent to Teacher/Professor/Academic Post is also required to highlight. The pay scale, retirement age, promotion is also required to insist. The librarians, who are working in the private sector, in private colleges, the rule of AICTE must be applicable to them also and such kind of benefits should be received to them. NEP-2020 says that there is a need of digitization and digital resources to learn, which is not possible without the librarian, but in NEP-2020, in AICTE they have not mentioned anywhere the need of Librarian for this to fulfill all such need to explore such learning resources to end users. So, these are some points which are in my mind. You can send your suggestions whatever you want to send for upliftment of our library profession as well to give some social status to the Librarians. ( Though I am working in SFI College, I am getting respectable salary and status which should be received to all if such strong rules is being applicable from AICTE )
