Anonymous Patron writes “Krishnan Srinivasan says The National Library in India , the largest library in India which has a genealogy going back to the first half of the nineteenth century, is unique not only for the purpose for which it was created, but also in terms of its survival against the odds. It is now in a state of stagnation which can only lead to its downfall unless it is given urgent attention.
Accessions to the catalogue of the National Library, still in the form of long-outdated card indices, are several years behind acquisitions. This is hardly surprising considering the fact that the library sustains about two hundred vacant posts.”
