Mobile library celebrates 25 years
Ritesh Mishra, Hindustan Times
Indore, December 15, 2012
Shyam Agarwal's teenage hobby is paying dividends, having served book lovers of Indore for 25 years.
Agarwal's mobile library on wheels, Shyam Library and Suvidha Agency, delivers books, comics and also competitive examination magazines to thousands of readers across the city.
The venture that started with six novels and some magazines bought from a bus stand for R100 in 1987 today pays Agarwal "more than R1 lakh per month".
The library on wheels now has 5,000 members including the first 10 who helped shape a 15-year-old's dreams. Now 40, Agarwal, a commerce graduate, has moved on from a cycle to a scooter.
"I have hired four persons to distribute the books," he said. Agarwal got the idea for his unique library after seeing people approach his brother, a newspaper agent, for free delivery of books and magazines.
The library's monthly membership fee has gone up from the initial R25 to R350.
Business has thrived, but Agarwal believes it will be tough for others to emulate him.
"Today, everything is available on the internet."

Librarians a neglected lot: The Pioneer
If librarians are not treated with disdain, they are not respected either. In colleges, they are considered inferior to the teaching and the administrative staff. But considering the multifarious roles that they play and the skills that are required of them, they should be given a better deal, writes Zafar Alam Khan
Despite a number of libraries in the State Capital, ‘Librarians’ Day’, observed on the 120th birth anniversary of renowned librarian, SR Ranganathan on August 12 across the country, passed unnoticed in Bhopal. Not a single programme was held on the occasion in the city.
A librarian is considered to be a specialist in the care and management of a library, trained in library science and engaged in library services. A librarian has many important roles to play. Unfortunately, their lot remains neglected due to varied reasons, including the indifferent attitude of the policy makers, perhaps because of their lesser numbers.
SR Ranganathan, considered as father of library science, developed five laws in 1931. He said:
- Books are for use
- Every reader his or her book
- Every book its reader
- Save the time of the reader
- The library is a growing organism
Sachin Chourasiya, assistant librarian in Sadhu Vaswani College, who has written many letters to the Government to draw its attention towards the problems of the librarians, while talking to the Viva City, said “though the number of books has increased in the 31 departmental libraries of the State from a mere dozen to thousands, the number of librarians has remained the same. Besides, there is no fixed standard for their salaries. They are the lowest paid compared to those who are in the same rank in Government jobs.”
A senior librarian serving with the State Government, on condition of anonymity, said “unfortunately, Madhya Pradesh is one of those States where Library Act has not been implemented though the Bill for the purpose had been tabled twice in the State Assembly. It is not an Act till now. This also reflects the unwillingness of the State Government. Librarians across the State are of the view that the State Government would have to show strong commitment for getting the bill passed in the State Assembly.”
Chourasiya said the lesser number of librarians was the major reason for the plight of the community as other cadres like those of doctors, teachers, nurses, patwaris and RIs, etc succeeded in getting their demands fulfilled due to larger numbers and strong unions. The salary of the librarians was also not uniform like other cadres and it varied from department to department. There promotion chances were bleak due to lesser number of posts.
He said the lesser number of librarians did not empower them to raise their voice before the Government and therefore they expected that the Government would act unilaterally on Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay’s policy sentence “pain of last man standing in last queue needs to be resolved.”
MP Library Association and College Library Association are the two bodies meant for working in the interest of the libraries and librarians in the State, but the irony is that both the associations are inactive.
Chourasiya said the need of the hour was that the problems of the librarians, that included uniform wages, promotion guidelines, etc, should get all the benefits that others on equivalent posts were getting and that they should be awarded respectable status.
Nepal Singh Jadon, library and information officer, Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), said “the librarians working under the Central Government are lucky in this regard as the Union Government acting on the recommendations of the Chattopadhyay Committee fixed uniform wages for the library staff. Besides, there is a promotional policy for them.”
Unfortunately, most of the libraries in the State have inadequate staff. The non-progressive attitude of our society is to be partially blamed for this brain-drain in the field of librarianship. Even in academic institutions their wages are not comparable to that of teachers and other administrative staff. They are rarely a part of the policy-making body.
Librarians are considered not more than clerks. Even the authorities concerned have failed to implement a proper service structure, and have not come up with an effective promotion formula till today. Further obstacles that hinder the recognition of librarianship as a noble profession enlist the attitude and working habits of supporting staff in libraries.

Holkar era library of Indore to be razed
Indore: The library of Holkar era, which was constructed in 1854 in the heart of the town at Rajwada, would be razed, as it has been declared dangerous. The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) had declared the dilapidated building dangerous in the past too but some how it was not demolished.
The IMC had included the library building in the list of dangerous structures twice during last two years. "A list of dangerous buildings is being updated in all the zones. The IMC will launch a drive to raze down the dangerous structures before rainy season sets in", assistant building removal officer Virendra Upadhyay told.
Library manager Bhushan Shinde admitted that IMC had issued notices declaring the building dangerous in the past. He, however, added that the dilapidated front canopy of the library has been repaired. Members and readers still frequent the ramshackle library. That is a reason why the IMC dithered on dismantling the structure.
But the structure has become so weak that book shelves had to be shifted in view of the fact that members still come to the building. In order to avert any untoward incident, an arrangement for reading has been made in the rear side of the library. Earlier, a bank was also operating in the building. It closed due to pathetic condition of the building. Trustees of the public library also tried to get the building renovated but failed to reach a consensus over terms and conditions with the contractor company. Finally the contract had to be cancelled.

Bhopal's Central Library now a protected monument
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh government has declared the famous Central Library in the city as a protected monument.
State culture minister Laxmikant Sharma said that sanction has been granted to issue the final notification to this effect. This notification is issued under Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1964.
This red stone structure is one of the oldest and beautiful buildings in the city. It was built in 1908 by the then Nawab of Bhopal state Begum Sultan Jahan for housing Kind Edward Museum. Her objective behind the establishment of the museum was to display the gifts and offerings presented to the rulers of the state.
The museum was inaugurated in 1909 by the then Viceroy of India Lord Minto. It was closed down during the Nawab era itself on account of lack of maintenance. Then in 1955, Maulana Azad Central Library was housed in this building. At that time, the library had about 60,000 books and manuscripts in Hindi, English, Urdu, Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit. This building situated on Itwara Road is known as Edward Museum, Malauna Azad Central Library, Kendriya Pustakalaya and Ajaib Ghar also.
No digging or construction work can be carried out on the land and buildings situated within 200 meter radius of it without permission of the commissioner, Archaeology and Archives.
