Tax collecting agencies owe Rs 7 cr cess to library department
MYSORE: Tax collecting agencies owe nearly Rs 7 cr to department of public libraries since several years.
Deputy Commissioner P S Vastrad on Tuesday disclosed that Mysore City Corporation owes Rs 5.22 cr, Mysore Urban Development Authority Rs 29 lakh and Gram Panchyaths Rs 1.14 cr to the department. Though these bodies have been collecting library cess from public they have not paid to the department which is affecting smooth functioning of libraries which have to procure newspapers, journals and books.
Vastrad, who is chairman to District Library Authority, told reporters that we will organize a campaign to collect the cess dues from the tax collecting authorities during National Library Week celebrations scheduled between November 14 and November 20.
Drive to collect 40000 books
On the occasion, the district library authority, an apex body of District central library and City central library will appeal its members to return books that they have borrowed from Mysore district and city libraries. Vastrad said nearly 40000 have not been returned by the members of 306 libraries including 25 in Mysore city, since five years. We have records of its borrowers and will get back the books to the libraries during the week long library week celebrations
The authority with an aim to increase reading habit among public will organize drive to increase library members especially in rural areas by way of organizing events and books exhibitions during the week. We have over 88000 members including 45000 in the city.
On the occasion, all libraries will be illuminated, the DC stated.
Library will come up at People's park
Deputy Commissioner P S Vastra said they will start modern library work, which was stalled following protest by a section of Mysoreans, at People's Park shortly.
In June this year, a bunch of students and citizens led by members of Mysore Grahakar Parishat, a body of citizens, opposed the move to construct the library block inside the park premises claiming it is against law governing parks and open spaces. Then the work was temporary stalled.
However, the DC has another version. He says the work was shelved as the soil was loose. We will start the work immediately on an area measures 1500 sq ft to establish a modern library. This is an old project. To a query, Vastrad said many libraries are inside parks. It is for public use and we will continue with our plans with this regard.

Mysore's library row gets murkier
MYSORE: The city centre library project, which has already kicked up a storm over its location in the city's prime park, seems to be heading for more trouble.
The private firm, with which the department of public libraries had signed an agreement in 1994 to construct the library-cum-commercial complex, has petitioned the high court to allow it to implement the now revived project.
The firm, now seems to be trying to fish in the troubled waters, argues that the agreement still holds significance as it was not explicitly cancelled by the government though it shelved the project. Meanwhile, the department of public libraries has made its stand clear that the project will not be utilized for commercial purposes which is one of the primary concerns of the activists opposing it.
"There is clear directive from the government that the project should be taken up with public funding. We are following it. Now that we have taken up the long-pending project with public funding, the private firm which had signed the agreement earlier, has opposed it and approached the court. There will be no commercialization of the project," B Manjunath, deputy director of the department of public libraries told TOI.
"We have got the notice and are preparing our case. We will intimate the court about the government's directive," he said and added that the groundwork will start from June end.
BONE OF CONTENTION While the government dropped the library-cum-commercial complex project, it did not cancel the agreement signed with the private firm on May 25, 1994.
The plan was to construct a complex on BOOT basis and transfer the property to the department after 30 years. The project is pending since 1984 after the government allowed 400 ft X 340 ft plot in the park to the department. While the activists are getting ready to create awareness about the importance of the People's Park which serves as lung space in the crowed central business district, the officials are moving in to secure the land by fencing the mega plot.
"We are not against the library project. But we are opposing its location. Our awareness drive is to tell people the importance of the open space," Bhamy V Shenoy of the Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP), which is spearheading the 'save park' campaign, said.
It is a prime property located in front of the KSRTC suburban bus stand which could be utilized for commercial gains. There are evidences to this as the officials included a commercial complex in the proposed library building, he said. The MGP is planning to file a PIL.
Manjunath said it was a mistake that the department thought to house a commercial complex in the library but attributed it to lack of funds.
According to officials, 50 per cent of the Rs 4.08-crore project will come from the library cess collected by the MCC. The rest will be funded by the state libraries authority.
