          Please see the reference received from the Director of Public Libraries, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad along with its enclosures at pages.1…………………Cf.

          The DPL, Hyd. submitted that, the service rules for the post of Librarians in Zilla Grandhalaya Service such as Librarian Gr.I / Dy. Librarian, Librarian Gr.II and Librarian Gr.III were issued in G.O.Ms.No.674, Edn. Dept., dt:21.03.1967 and certain amendments were issued to the rules issued in G.O.Ms.No.259, Edn. Dept., dt:4.7.1988.  As per these rules, the vacancies of Librarian Grade.I / Deputy Librarian has to be filled in as follows;

Out of every cycle of three vacancies:

i.             The first vacancy shall be filled in by promotion from the category of Librarian Grade.II.
ii.            The second vacancy shall be filled in by Direct Recruitment and
iii.           The third vacancy by transfer from Senior Assistant of the Samstha.

          In this connection, the DPL, Hyd. submitted that, in the 23 Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas, there are 72 sanctioned posts of Librarian Grade.I.  Out of these 72, only 19 posts are existing in 10 Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas in the Telangana Region and the est are in the 13 Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas in the Andhra Region,.  In most of the Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas in the Telangana Region, there is only one post of Librarian Grade. / Deputy Librarian. If this post goes for Direct Recruitment, then there is no chance for promotion as well as for filling by Direct Recruitment due to ban on Direct Recruitment.

-:     2     :-

          Out of the 72 posts, 1/3 which comes to 24 will go for promotion to the Librarians Gr.II consisting of 153 sanctioned posts.  Thus the promotion ratio, which comes to 1:6 is very low.

          In this connection, the DPL, Hyd. submitted that, for the similar post in the Government Libraries, to which service rules wee issued in G.O.Ms.No.721, Edn. Dept., Dt:24.8.1982 and G.O.Ms.No.64, Edn. Dept., Dt:16.07.2002 there is no provision for Direct Recruitment.  Thus there is disparity among the Government Libaries and Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas in the method of filling up of the similar cadre of posts, i.e, Librarian Grade.I.

          The DPL, Hyd. stated that, because of the reasons that out of 72, 1/3 which comes to 24 posts have to be filled in by Direct Recruitment and due to ban on Direct Recruitment, more than 50% posts are vacant now.  Particularly in the ZGSs in Telangana Region, due to having only one post in the District and if said post goes for Direct Recruitment as per cycle there is no chance to get promotion to this post and there by the employees working in the feeder categories are becoming frustrated.  Hence, to remove the disparity between the Government Libraries and Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas in the matter of filling up of the posts of Librarian Grade.I and to encourage the employees working in the feeder category of Librarian Grade.II, it is necessary to remove the provision of Direct Recruitment to the post of Librarian Grade.I (Superintendent category) in the service rules.
