Manipur needs more libraries- MALA

IMPHAL, September 10: “Manipur needs more libraries, both private as well as public as libraries play an important role in making a better society,” asserted general secretary, MALA Dr Ch Ibohal Singh.

He was speaking at the Atulchandra Memorial Lecture-2012 in commemoration of the 115th Birth anniversary of Dr H Atulchandra Singh founder of Canchipur High School, one of the oldest schools of the state.

The function was organized by the Manipur Library Association, MALA and the Canchipur High School at the school premises.

Dr H Atulchandra Singh, an educationist had also co-founded the Manipur Club in 1927 which was later changed into the Jubabati Memorial Library in 1933.

In his welcome address, Dr Ch Ibohal continued, “Libraries play an important role in rendering quality education in the state”.

Elaborating on the life of Dr H Atulchandra Singh, he said that Atul is one of the pioneer educationists of the state. Atulchandra was not just an educationist but a champion of woman’s struggle during his lifetime, he said. He had also founded a polytechnic in Manipur for the uplift of women in those days.

A speaker Dr T Tomba Singh lamented that there is no library committee in the state, and there has been no effort from anywhere to establish one.

He continued that 5 percent of a school’s budget should be used in developing the school’s library.

Manipur University, Department of Library and Information Science, HOD, Dr Th Purnima Devi said librarians were once considered as a clerical job, however with the invasion of new technologies, the job of a librarian has managed to escape from the four walls of his library.

She further lauded Dr H Atulchandra Singh for his contribution to the state and in promotion of libraries in the state.

Criticising the current trend of sending children to private tuitions, she said, it has become a fashion statement in the state. She continued that in order to bring an end to this trend, the teachers have an important role. According to a new UGC norm, any candidate for a teacher should have a specific past experience of doing community service, she added.

She concluded her speech with an appeal to cultivate reading habits among the people of the state.

Meanwhile, a book of poems, “Napu Machu gi Kakcheng” written by LC Lalhanba was also released during the function.

In his review of the book, CI College, Bishnupur Principal (retd) and renowned critic Salam Tomba Singh said Lalhanba is a modern poet.

“He has tried to contain all the scenarios of Manipur in his book of poems and did so with success.”

The presentation of the poems in the book is well balanced. The poet has a feel of the poetic pain, he concluded.

VACANCY OF LADY LIBRARIAN AT THE OXFORE SCHOOL CAMPUS, Trivandrum,

Mukherjee's priority - to return Rashtrapati Bhavan library to pristine glory

New Delhi: Books, books and more books - over 15,000 of them stacked in wooden and steel almirahs, gathering dust and grime due to disuse and neglect for over 20 years in one of the corners of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the magnificent presidential house. But all that is set to change. 

President Pranab Mukherjee, who assumed charge as the 13th constitutional head July 25, is known to be a bibliophile who reads till late in the night. Now the "dreary" library, which faces the Rashtrapati Bavan forecourt and provides a grand view of both the South and North Blocks, as well as of Raisina Hill and the magnificent boulevard stretching three kilometres to the India Gate martyrs' memorial, is all set for a facelift. 

"The President is very fond of books and loves to read. He wants to visit the library and spend sometime here," Venu Rajamony, the President's press secretary, told a news agency. 

The original library, which started functioning in 1950, had a huge wooden desk at the center, with beautiful paintings adorning its walls. A window on top allowed sunlight inside the room, making the marble floor glisten. Right now, the window is covered with a cloth. 

There are over 15,000 books in the library - some of them from the time the British Viceroy lived in this 340-room red standstone mansion. With cupboards filling up the room and books everywhere, it now looks more like a college library than a library of Rashtrapati Bhavan. 

As books are gifted to the president, the library over the years got crammed with them, making the authorities opt for wooden almirahs to house them. Soon, these were not enough and steel almirahs were added, and began to line up the corridor. But these too filled up. 

Seeing the state of the library, President Mukherjee expressed his wish to restore it to its original pristine glory of the 1950 era.  The librarian now has a huge task ahead. 

To begin with, old photographs were unearthed to see how the original library looked. Now, the effort is to replicate the original one. 

The steel almirahs have already been removed from the corridor, while the wooden ones will be moved out once the books are sorted, documented and stacked properly. 

At the moment, piles of books are lying everywhere. 

"Our aim is simple - first we will clean up the space, assess the books and then decide how best to utilize the library. We haven't decided yet, but we could invite scholars and individuals to the library after it's brought back to its original 1950 look," Rajamony told the agency. 

"Right now, we are clearing the furniture. Documenting the books, separating the historical books. We plan to keep only those that are historically relevant," he added.

Andhra Pradesh CM's unkept promises regarding libraries

HYDERABAD: Grandly announcing that he wanted to dispel the impression among people of the Old City that they were in any way less than those from other parts of town, chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy went on a foundation stone laying spree in June last year. Calling himself a 'Hyderabadi' he laid foundation stones for at least four projects, all of which have failed to take off.

The construction of an e-library in Barkas at an estimated cost of Rs 50 lakh during the Rachabanda programme is one such project which failed to fructify. GHMC officials said the existing structure which houses the library is in a deplorable condition and needs to be razed to make way for a new building which would house the conventional library and the e-library. But the AP Granthalaya Samastha (APGS) which manages the existing library is opposing this proposal tooth and nail.

Sources from the GHMC and APGS said that the contention of the latter is that the land was registered in the name of the library and therefore, the GHMC cannot take up any construction on the land. It was reported in these columns in April this year that it was decided that APGS would take up construction and management of the library. However, as the dispute between the two bodies remained unresolved, GHMC decided to take up the construction on a separate land and is now eyeing other land parcels in the area for the e-library. Ayesha Rubina, GHMC co-option member, said, "All attempts to reach an amicable solution with the APGS have failed. Though a formal proposal is yet to be made, we have identified around 350 square yards of land near the community hall in Barkas." However, sources noted that with local politicians and other departments unofficially vying for possession of the new land parcel, alienation was a tough task.

The National Academy of Construction's (NAC) Advanced Skills Training Institute in Naseeb Nagar too was on the cards but incessant delays have left the project in limbo with not a single brick being laid. Training is being conducted in Owaisi School of Excellence in Jamal Colony. NAC officials said that more than two months have passed since files were handed over to the R&B department.

Kondal Rao, assistant director, NAC said, "All plans, drawings and technical sanctions are with R&B department. We are waiting for their response."

In need of respite from traffic woes due to haphazard parking of vehicles on roads, the residents of Khilwat and officials of Chowmahalla Palace had breathed a sigh of relief when the construction of a multi-level parking complex was announced. More than 15 months later, the situation is the same. Officials from the GHMC have been claiming for the past three months that soil testing for the project has been done 'only fifteen days ago'.

While an impressive sum of Rs 4.5 crore was announced for the renovation of the Government Nizamia Tibbi College, walls and domes are still cracking or collapsing frequently. Officials from the unani college said that poor response to tenders was causing the delay. "It took seven years for promotions to be granted. But the building cannot wait that long.

Everyday chips from the ceiling fall off and cases of wall collapse are not infrequent. The authorities must restore the building soon or else the lives of patients and staff are at risk," an official requesting anonymity said.

Literary treasures under threat at India's oldest library

One of India's oldest libraries, which was established by the British in the 19th century and contains several priceless works of literature, is facing closure after the government withdrew funding.

Hardayal Library in Delhi houses one of the country's finest collection of rare antiquarian books, including a 1676 print of Sir Walter Raleigh'sHistory of the World, a series of early British Indian travelogues and hand-written and gold illuminated translations of Hindu and Muslim religious works.

The collection is potentially worth millions, with 8,000 rare books out of a stock of 170,000.

It was established in 1862 as a book club for British officials who brought their own prized editions with them from home, and was kept in the Lawrence Institute in Delhi's town hall. In 1912 it became the Hardinge Library, named after the British viceroy, and was renamed the Hardayal after independence.

Today the building is dilapidated, its books are caked in dust and their musty pages are slowly disintegrating in rooms without air-conditioning.

Old cane office chairs and rusty metal desks are piled high throughout what was once a sweeping verandah. Stray kittens prowl the discoloured marble floor and a domed room on the roof terrace is squatted on by the watchman. Madhukar Rao, the chief librarian, said he was not allowed to discuss the government's decision to withdraw funds, but voiced his concerns for its readers and staff as he gave The Daily Telegraph a tour of his rarest volumes.

For the 300 students who work in its two reading rooms it is a rare sanctuary from Delhi's chaos. Yet the staff who serve them have not been paid for six months. "The cost of living is so high, how will they survive?" asked Mr Rao.

His colleagues nodded in agreement as they displayed their most treasured editions: Relation of Some Years by Travaile Begvenne, printed in 1634, Voyages Around the World by John Francis from 1705, and a series of London Surveys from 1754. There is a Koran written by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and a translation of the Mahabharata, a Hindu religious epic, in Persian by the Islamic scholar Abul Faizi. It is illuminated in gold.

Many of the most valuable texts are deteriorating fast, in part because of poor preservation. The pages of Sir Walter Raleigh's history are protected by acetate sheets. "Each of these books could be worth thousands of pounds if they were in decent condition. A wealthy individual or the government should make sure it's preserved," said Peter Harrington, a London antiquarian books dealer.

Meena Agarwal, the mayor of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, said: "We have limited funds for such activities and the North Delhi Municipal Corporation cannot grant funds on its own. The government has to issue orders."

A campaign to save the library has been launched with the support of some of India's leading writers and scholars, including the critic and author Nilanjana Roy and the academic S Irfan Habib, who used it in the 1980s for research.

The library was set up with donations from Indian royalty, including the Begum Sahiba of Bhopal as a tribute to Lord Hardinge after he survived an assassination attempt when riding an elephant. The attack was led by the freedom fighter Lala Hardayal, after whom the library is now named.

Guwahati: The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has sanctioned Rs. 10 crore for setting up a digital library at the 50-year-old Gauhati Commerce College here. The college had submitted the proposal to set up the digital library to the ministry in 2010 and it received its sanction recently. The state’s public works department is now preparing a detailed project report for developing the infrastructure needed to build the first digital library of a college in the state.

         Gauhati Commerce College librarian Utpal Sarma said that the digital library would incorporate internet gateway connectivity which would allow students and researchers to access e-journals, e-books and other necessary information online. “Setting up of the digital library will have many advantages. First, we will prepare a computer database of all books currently in our library, which will allow students to locate a book by a click of the mouse. Secondly, we will also provide them access to many e-journals which students can use for downloading articles for academic and research purposes,” Mr. Sarma said. He added that the digital infrastructure for the library would include LAN terminals, VSAT server and an open source software.

       “We are planning to incorporate Informatics, an open source software and e-journal provider. Informatics offers access to one billion e-books and e-journals. Students will be able to read e-books, e-journals and download them for use by making an online payment of just $2. It will be different from accessing the articles online as one is normally not able to download articles from journals because of copyright issues,” Mr. Sarma added.  The digital library is also planning to get a membership of The American Library of the Congress which will allow students to browse, surf, download and read any content available through the library, according to other college sources.

     Set up in 1962, Gauhati Commerce College offers courses in business and commerce. It also started a Centre of Management Studies in 2010 and now enrolls students in its BBA and MBA programs as well.
