 librarian:

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
Public libraries play a pivotal role in dissemination 
of knowledge. In your inaugural address for the 
National Knowledge Commission on 2nd August 
2005, you had recognized public libraries as an 
extremely important element of the foundation 
of a knowledge economy. Following up from this, 
the NKC has consulted extensively with diverse 
stakeholders. As part of this process, we also 
constituted a Working Group of experts and 
professionals. Their names are listed at the 
end of this letter. There is a widespread 
agreement that there is an urgent need for reform 
in the Libraries and Information Services (LIS) sector. 
Several initiatives in this regard have already been
 taken by the Government. Our recommendations 
for formulating strategies in the LIS sector are as follows:

1.0 Set up a National Commission on 
Libraries: A permanent, independent and 
financially autonomous National Commission 
on Libraries should be eventually set up by the 
Central Government as a statutory body to address 
all the information and learning needs of the citizens
 of India. To launch the process in mission mode, a
 National Mission on Libraries should be set up 
immediately, for a period of three years. The 
Mission should subsequently be converted into
 a Permanent Commission. Further details 
regarding the role of the proposed National 
Mission/ Commission on Libraries are at Annexure 1.

2.0 Prepare a National Census of all Libraries: 
A national census of all libraries should be 
prepared by undertaking a nation-wide survey.
 Collection of census data on libraries would 
provide baseline data for planning. The Task 
Force that has been set up by the Department 
of Culture for this purpose should be given financial 
and administrative support to implement this activity 
and complete the survey on a priority basis (within 
one year). Survey of user needs and reading habits 
should be periodic at the national level as part of the
 National Sample Survey.

3.0 Revamp LIS Education, Training and Research facilities:
