Administrative potholes in the University of Kerala appear to have taken the momentum out of a Rs.3-crore development project for the University Library even though it has been ten months since the varsity received the money from the State government.
The Department of Library and Information Science, University of Kerala is preparing to place before the Syndicate a proposal for implementing an information literacy programme in colleges affiliated to the university.
The Kerala State Library Council has decided to set up Balavedi Kendras (children's centres) in at least 10 libraries in each taluk and organise a children's arts festival, Aksharotsavam, in all taluks.
