Proposed library at People’s Park books new row
Mysore, May 27 2012, DHNS:
Greens resent MCC’s move to allow development
After people’s protest against revision in water cess, another stir is showing all signs of gaining momentum here.
This time it’s for green cause, with environmentalists taking up the cudgel against the libraries department. The department has plans to build a library at People’s Park opposite KSRTSC sub-urban bus stand in the city.
In a joint protest on Sunday, members of Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP), Mysore Youth Forum and Parisara Samrakshana Samithi planted 10 saplings in a place away from the prohibited zone in the park. Though the issue is not new with MCC and environmentalists locked over the issue from the past 15 years, it’s a row in the making in the recent days.
The agitators alleged that Library Authority set up barriers overnight, around the proposed site and erected a signboard prohibiting trespassers. The high court has ordered to maintain status quo.
Further strange is that the Mayor sending a letter to the Police Commissioner on Saturday evening, requesting severe action against the protesters. The mayor was fretted about environmentalists planting saplings in the protected area. MCC does not take any action against violators of building bylaws or those who encroach public property, but it is quick to take against law abiders, the protesters alleged.
They further alleged that, MCC has failed to initiate against various encroachers of People's Park, while the city corporation itself is on the wrong side for dumping pavement debris in the park. It appears that MCC has a master plan to destroy People's Park, so that this valuable real estate can be sold for commercial activities, starting from the library.
People should urge their representatives to take back the land given to the library by MCC, remove all encroachments, take back the land given for tennis courts (we have learnt that the present lease of the courts has expired), and maintain this very precious lung space of Mysore.
The tree guards were provided by Raghulal and Co. Senior citizens of Mysore H R Bapu Satyanarayana, Dr K A Kushalapa, Dr B N Jayaram, B R Pai, Andal Siddharthacharry, Prof M. Umapathy and CAVA artists, Shoaib and his colleagues took part in the protest.
Rs 1000cr Library Mission in India
New Delhi, May 27: The government has launched an ambitious Rs 1,000-crore plan to digitally link 9,000 libraries across India.
The culture ministry has set up a National Mission on Libraries, headed by former Delhi University vice-chancellor Deepak Pental.
During the centenary celebration of the Oxford University Press, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said: “A young reader sitting in his village public library should be able to access books and information from across the world.”
This was one of the key recommendations of the Sam Pitroda-led National Knowledge Commission. The cabinet secretariat pushed for the proposal on March 20 this year.
Also planned is a survey of reading habits of Indians and to revive community libraries and reading rooms.
The 10-member panel includes former Infosys chief N.R. Narayana Murthy’s wife Sudha and H.K. Kaul, secretary of the department of higher education, ministry of human resource development.
The Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation will be the nodal agency for the mission. It will double as a secretariat for the mission and also help fund book acquisitions.
The mission will also be responsible for drafting a “national policy on library and information systems for India”.
“There has to be quality benchmarks for services to be adhered to by all libraries. Currently, there is no blueprint that you can follow,” said a senior official.

A library in the schoolbag
The quest for the optimal mobile device that can advance education by improving access to learning materials and reducing costs is engaging many countries, including India. Among the more promising gadgets for the task are e-readers, which use e-ink display technology that closely matches the look and feel of a printed black and white page. Tablet computers, on the other hand, offer a full-colour, backlit screen alternative suitable for multimedia and rich content. These technologies can significantly aid the teaching-learning process. And this concept has been put to the test in a field setting in Ghana involving distribution of e-readers to hundreds of school students. One striking outcome: 43 per cent of the students, who had never used a computer, learned to use the gadget quickly. Students who had access to only a few books at home were able to read an average of 107 titles overnight. These ranged from wirelessly delivered sponsored texts to open access volumes that they downloaded. Also, several students discovered that they could listen to music, and read newspapers using the data connection. Importantly, though, 40 per cent of the gadgets broke while in use mainly because of fragile screens. These results from the project make it clear that there are key problems to be ironed out.
India's grand plan to identify a tablet device for educational purposes has been virtually stillborn. The Centre has conceded that the Aakash tablet computer distributed in limited numbers does not measure up due to problems such as heating of the device, limited battery life and unsuitable screen technology. The Department of Information Technology, which has been working with the IIT system, must show the competence necessary to come up with a robust set of specifications for the ideal “low cost access-cum-computing” device for students. The key factor that should underscore the programme is a falling price curve for the hardware. Amazon's Kindle, an e-reader, has witnessed a price fall from $399 in 2007, to $79 now. If a similar graph can be ensured in India, there can be a free or subsidised reading-learning device in every schoolbag. Moreover, the gadget must be able to exploit the ubiquitous availability of mobile data connectivity. Crucially, learning materials need to be available free of copyright costs. Literature could be sourced, for instance, using Creative Commons permission for use by students. It would be a great leap forward if a robust, affordable device can be produced through multiple vendors on an open licensing platform, with the Centre specifying the benchmarks, and monitoring compliance through a certification mechanism.
Manipur MLA moots implementation of Public Library Act
Imphal, May 24 2012: With a view to create awareness on the importance of Public Library and also to mend the shortage in connection with public library, the Manipur Public Library Act will be brought up in the floor of the House during its Monsoon session, K Shyam, MLA, Langthabal A/C has assured.
MLA K Shyam was speaking as Guest of Honour of the Silver Jubilee celebration of Manipur Library Association (MALA) at Lamyanba Shanglen, Palace Compound here today.
The MLA observed that library plays an important role in the development of a society.
So, we need to bring about development in the Library system of the state.
For this, it is high time for MALA to take the initiative towards spearheading a public movement in the state.
The MLA further informed that since he has been newly elected, he has a lot to learn with regard to politics.
However, he is not going to leave any stone unturned in bringing about development in the society.
He also appealed to the general public to give him suggestions in this regard.
Speaking as Chief Guest of the function, Laishom Ibomcha, MLA of Keishamthong A/C pointed out that since the government has failed to take up measures for promotion of library in the state, the sorry state of library has prevailed in the state.
According to the Manipur Public Library Act, 1993, every district of the state should have a library.
However, no proper library has been established in all the districts so far.
He further lamented over the attitude of the state government in missed out from preparing a separate budget for the Library in the annual budget of the state government.
Even the Department of Art and Culture never tried to develop and promote the library movement in the state.
As such there is no likelihood that a separate Directorate of Library will be set up in the state as is seen in other states of India.
MLA Ibomcha also pointed out that since the State Central Library is located in a parking zone, the people find it difficult to concentrate in reading books of their choice peacefully.
So, either the parking or the Central Library needs to be shifted from the area, he proposed.
Padmashree Dr M Kriti, RK Jhalajit and N Inaocha, President of Manipur Library Association were Guests of Honour of the function during which annual report of MALA and a souvenir were also released.
Eminent columnists, critics and publishers were also awarded certificates of appreciation on the occasion.

पुस्तकालय के लिए विधान पार्षद देंगे 15 लाख
गोपालगंज, कार्यालय संवाददाता : नगर के उर्दू महाविद्यालय के प्रांगण में आयोजित कार्यक्रम में छात्राओं के बीच पोशाक के लिए एक-एक हजार की राशि का वितरण किया गया। इस दौरान विधान पार्षद सुनील सिंह ने कालेज के पुस्तकालय निर्माण के लिए 15 लाख रुपये देने की घोषणा की।
इसके पूर्व बुधवार को विधान निधि से निर्मित विद्यालय भवन का उद्घाटन करते हुए सुनील सिंह ने कहा कि अच्छे शैक्षणिक माहौल से ही छात्रों का समुचित विकास संभव है। उन्होंने कहा कि विद्यालय व कालेजों के विकास के लिए वे सदैव तत्पर रहेंगे। इस मौके पर विद्यालय के पुस्तकालय निर्माण के लिए भी उन्होंने 15 लाख रुपये देने की घोषणा करते हुए कहा कि पुस्तकालय बनने से छात्र-छात्राओं की कई समस्याओं का स्थायी समाधान होगा। छात्रा रिफत जक्की ने स्वागत गीत 'मेरी उम्मीदों के दामन में, जरा भर धूल भी रख दें तो नियामत होगी', से विधान पार्षद का स्वागत किया। इस मौके पर प्राचार्य जुल्फेकार अली, रजी अहमद फैजी, मोहम्मद मुस्तफा, दीनानाथ प्रसाद तिवारी, अजहर इमाम खां तथा मतीउर रहमान सहित कई गणमान्य लोग उपस्थित थे।
पुस्तकालय अध्यक्ष की श्रेणी का मामला उलझा (हरियाणा)
प्रदेश सरकार पुस्तकालय कर्मियों को गैर शिक्षक श्रेणी में डालना चाहती है या नहीं यह मामला उलझता जा रहा है। प्रदेश सरकार के ही दो आदेश इस मामले को उलझा रहे हैं। अब यह कुवि प्रशासन के लिए भी सिरदर्द बन गया है। कुवि प्रशासन इस मामले को 8 मई को कार्यकारिणी परिषद की बैठक में ला चुका है, लेकिन कर्मचारियों के विरोध के बाद कुवि ने इसे प्रदेश सरकार के पास भेज पुनर्विचार के लिए भेज दिया। वहीं पुस्तकालय संघ ने इस बारे में मुख्यमंत्री भूपेंद्र सिंह हुड्डा से मिलकर श्रेणी के साथ छेड़छाड़ न करने की मांग की है।
बेशक यूजीसी के नियमों के अनुसार विश्वविद्यालयों और कॉलेजों के पुस्तकालयों में कार्य करने वाले पुस्तकालयाध्यक्षों, पुस्तकालय कर्मचारियों की योग्यता शिक्षकों के बराबर हो और यूजीसी ने इनकों शिक्षक कर्मचारियों की श्रेणी में शामिल किया हो, लेकिन प्रदेश सरकार इस बारे में विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन को उलझा रही है। उच्चतम शिक्षा निदेशालय की ओर 18 जनवरी को भेजे गए आदेश और 21 जुलाई को प्रदेश सरकार की ओर से जारी छठे वेतन आयोग की अधिसूचना अलग-अलग राग अलाप रहे। उच्चतम शिक्षा कमीश्नर की ओर जारी पत्र में इन कर्मचारियों को गैर शिक्षक कर्मचारी की श्रेणी में शामिल करने का आदेश दिया है। जबकि प्रदेश सरकार की ओर से जारी छठे वेतन आयोग का नोटिफिकेशन इनको यूजीसी के अनुसार शिक्षक श्रेणी में शामिल कर रहा है।
अब इस मामले में कुवि प्रशासन भी उलझ गया है। कुवि की ओर से इस मामले को आठ मई को हुई कार्यकारिणी परिषद की बैठक में शामिल किया था, लेकिन कार्यकारिणी परिषद ने इस मामले को अगली बैठक तक टाल दिया है। कुवि ने इस बारे में पुनर्विचार के लिए प्रदेश सरकार से आग्रह किया है।
मुख्यमंत्री से मिले पुस्तकालयाध्यक्ष :
हरियाणा पुस्तकालय संघ के सदस्य इस मामले में मुख्यमंत्री भूपेंद्र सिंह हुड्डा से मिल चुके हैं। 21 मई को कुरुक्षेत्र दौरे पर आए मुख्यमंत्री को संघ के सदस्यों ने ज्ञापन सौंप कर मांग की है कि पुस्तकालय कर्मियों की श्रेणी के साथ कोई छेड़छाड़ न की जाए। हरियाणा पुस्तकालय संघ के प्रदेशाध्यक्ष आरडी मैहला ने बताया कि उन्होंने मुख्यमंत्री से इस मामले में खुद संज्ञान लेने की मांग की है। उन्होंने बताया कि उनकी योग्यता और भर्ती प्रक्रिया की शर्ते शिक्षकों के बराबर हैं। फिर उन्हें गैर शिक्षक कर्मचारियों की श्रेणी में शामिल क्यों किया जा रहा है? आरडी मैहला ने कुवि कुलपति का इस मामले में पुनर्विचार करने के फैसले का स्वागत किया है।

49600 विद्यार्थी पर भी पुस्तकालय नहीं
चकाई, (जमुई) निज प्रतिनिधि : प्रखंड के 640 गांवों में 292 मध्य एवं प्राथमिक विद्यालय, छह उच्च विद्यालय, चार इंटर स्तरीय विद्यालय एवं एक डिग्री कालेज है जिसमें 49600 विद्यार्थी पढ़ रहे हैं। इन संस्थानों के 15000 विद्यार्थी प्रतियोगिता परीक्षा की तैयारी कर रहे हैं। बावूजद इसके प्रखंड में एक भी सरकारी या गैर सरकारी पुस्तकालय नहीं है जहां बच्चों को सभी तरह की पत्रिका या पुस्तकें उपलब्ध हों। ऐसे में गरीब बच्चे उच्च शिक्षा के प्रतियोगी माहौल में पिछड़ रहे हैं। प्रखंड में 80 प्रतिशत लोग गरीबी रेखा से नीचे हैं। इनके बच्चों के पास इतना पैसा नहीं है कि वे पत्रिका एवं विभिन्न अखबार खरीद कर पढ़ सकें। ऐसे में सार्वजनिक पुस्तकालय ही इनके उम्मीद की आखिरी किरण है। जहां एक साथ कई पुस्तकें पत्रिका समाचार उपलब्ध होता है। चकाई में एक भी पुस्तकालय के नहीं होने से गरीब ग्रामीणों के बच्चे प्रतियोगिता परीक्षा में असफल हो रहे हैं। आदिवासी छात्रावास में रह कर पढ़ाई कर रहे एन्पोनी बताते हैं कि पुस्तकालय नहीं रहने से हमलोग पिछड़ रहे हैं। वहीं परांची के परमेश्वर एवं नारायण दास कहते हैं कि पुस्तकालय प्रतियोगिता परीक्षार्थी की रीड़ होती है। हमारे अभिभावक मजदूरी करके पत्रिका के लिए पैसे नहीं दे सकते हैं ऐसे में हम रोजगार के अवसर खो रहे हैं। चकाई में पुस्तकालय की स्थापना को लेकर घोरमो निवासी प्रो. धर्मेन्द्र सिन्हा ने जमुई समाहरणालय के समक्ष आमरण अनशन किया। आमरण अनशन के दौरान तत्कालीन अनुमंडलाधिकारी ने एक माह के अंदर चकाई में पुस्तकालय खोलने का लिखित आश्वासन देकर अनशन तुड़वाया। आश्वासन के एक वर्ष बीत गए परंतु चकाई में पुस्तकालय नहीं खुला। अनुमंडलाधिकारी बदल गए परिणाम वही ढाक के तीन पात साबित हुआ।

No young takers for this niche library in South Delhi
Bustling with activity and cultural programmes specific to Bengal and Bengalis, Chittaranjan Park in South Delhi has for long been considered a ‘mini Kolkata’.
It also has the Kali Mandir Society often referred to by the locals as Kali Bari. Built on a small hill, this is a primarily a temple complex but also houses the Community Cultural Center. The complex started with a Shiv temple, which still stands within the complex but now the larger shrines are dedicated to Kali and Radha-Krishna. Over the years it has remained an important centre of convergence for the local community during Durga Puja festivities.
Renowned for their love of reading and academia, the Bengalis as a community pride themselves on their love for literature and poetry. But the little library, named after Ramkrishna Paramhansa, which nestles in the premises of the temple complex does not boast of young readership nor has been successful in promoting love for literature or literary texts amongst the young Bengalis. Run by Purnima Das who is assisted by Shivnath Chakravarty, a specially abled person, the library subscribes to all possible major newspapers including renowned Bengali ones like the Anandabazar Patrika, Bortomaan, Proti Din, Aajkaal and even Statesman’s Bengali edition. Not only that, the library also keeps magazines like Khela, Desh, Phire Dekha, Shaptahik Bortoman. Even rare editions of works by Kalidasa are available for those interested. But unfortunately not may people are interested.
This air-conditioned library, which started in 1985, manages to draw only senior citizens. “We don’t get too many readers as this library is part of the mandir. Besides, nobody reads Bengali books now,” rues Purnima. “This library has not been successful in promoting Bengali literature. The fact is, children don’t come here to read at all. They all study in public schools and do not have any Bengali subject. So, we only have one section for children’s reading. The senior citizens on the other hand, come here during their leisure time, which is normally evenings. They enjoy browsing through so many different newspapers.”
Of its total collection of about 25,000 books, about 80 per cent is Bengali fiction. Among others, it also keeps books by Sunil Ganguly, Buddhadeb Ghosh and many others. The library started out keeping only religious books and that remains its USP. “We get maximum readers for our religious collection. We have books on Ramakrishna Pramahansa, Ma Sharada, the Bhagavad Gita, books on Hinduism, the Upanishads and on the Vedas,” shares Purnima. Though the library also has books on literary criticism, drama by Utpal Dutt and contemporary Bengali poets, it is not adding to its collection at the moment.
With reading habits going down, it is no surprise that the Ramakrishna library too has suffered in its wake. Despite its very low rates - even at Rs 50 as annual security for lifetime members and the annual membership for Rs 100, there are hardly any takers.

Who cares about libraries?
By Christine Sheehy
There was a time when I would have been embarrassed to admit that I love libraries.
A love of libraries has inspired a new book about the importance of the public place.
As a teenager the library was distinctly uncool, except as a place to check out members of the opposite sex while pretending to study for School Certificate. At least, that was the only socially acceptable excuse.
But deep down I loved the place: from childhood days of Margaret Mahy and Richard Scarry, to pre-teen years when "I have a project to research" was the only excuse capable of persuading Mum that I should be allowed to get off the school bus in Takapuna and hang out by myself for a precious hour or two. I still recall the burgeoning sense of independence and freedom. And believe it or not, most of the time I did actually go to the library.
These days I take my kids to the library most weeks, and usually come away with something for myself. There's almost always a book on the "new release" stand calling out "borrow me", even though I already have far too many on my bedside table.
Now, a love of libraries has inspired The Library Book, a collection of musings on the importance and meaning of public libraries from writers including Zadie Smith, Julian Barnes, Kate Mosse and Alan Bennett.
The book was first published in the UK, where the future of tiny village and suburban libraries is in peril. It's a similar story in the US, where huge public spending cuts threaten the survival of libraries from New York to California.Many write that they would not have become writers, but for the sanctuary and inspiration offered by their local library during difficult teenage years.
In both countries, vigorous campaigns are underway to save public libraries. For one week last year, the shelves of the Stony Stratford library in Buckinghamshire stood empty of all 16,000 titles, after a Facebook campaign encouraged members to borrow their maximum 15 books. The protesters wanted to demonstrate the great void that would be left in the heart of the community if the library were shut down.
Here in New Zealand, proposed reductions in library services also face strong community opposition. A recent petition opposing the axing of Tauranga's mobile library service has gained over 1500 signatures, while last October, Hamilton City Council was forced to back down from aproposal to charge $2 per book borrowed.
The Library Book is a tribute to and celebration of that place in the community. "There really aren't many things in life that can enrich you for free yet ask for nothing in return," writes Nicky Wire, bass player and lyricist for the Manic Street Preachers.
Stephen Fry writes movingly of how discovering his library helped him to understand and accept his homosexuality. It also led him to many great writers, with a side-effect that his own appetite for knowledge caused him to "educate myself to a degree that was beyond anything a school could hope to achieve".
Others note that without well-funded libraries willing to take a chance on new writers, many would never see their work in print. As Lionel Shriver points out, a lot of books would simply disappear from sight within weeks of publication if not acquired by libraries.
There are tales of pointless bureaucracy, formative meetings, a mobile service that became a vehicle for illicit affairs and even a mobility scooter ram-raid. Whoever said the library was boring?
Not me, obviously. I think even I would be surprised by a print-out of my complete borrowing history over the last 30-something years. I've borrowed books on Baltic politics, Steiner education, Rita Angus, macro-biotic cooking, the AIDS crisis, Mary Queen of Scots, round-the-world sailing, meditation, architecture, crochet and all manner of cookbooks and health and fitness fads. And those are just the topics I can remember.
It's an odd mix, but I'm a firm believer that such eclectic reading has the capacity to expand our minds and enrich our lives. One of the bonuses of Auckland's transition to a supercity is that the library catalogues have merged. Auckland readers can now request books from any branch be delivered to their local library at no cost. Books zooming everywhere from Wellsford to Waitakere to Waiuku probably creates all sorts of inefficiencies, but with 3.5 million items on offer, the available range has expanded enormously.
So I write this blog in celebration of the public library, but I couldn't put it better than broadcaster and writer Catlin Moran. "A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold and rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen instead. A human with a brain and a heart and a desire to be uplifted, rather than a customer with a credit card and an inchoate 'need' for 'stuff'."
