Govt urged to fill vacant posts of librarians

The representatives of the Punjab College Librarians’ Association (PCLA) have urged the state government to fill the vacant posts of the College Cadre Librarians at the earliest. Discussing the issue during the general body meeting of PCLA held recently, the Association president Kuldeep Singh and general secretary Barjinder Pal Dhiman said presently out of 98 sanctioned posts of College Cadre Librarians, 60 are lying vacant, which was affecting the working of the library services in the government colleges, district and public libraries of the state. They requested the secretary, Higher Education, Punjab, to immediately initiate the process of recruitment for filling up the vacant posts of the librarians. The association also urged the state government to concede their other long-pending demands, including that of confirmation of services of the librarians recruited during the period 1998-2000.
