He explained how Librarians are the leaders of education and they have to continuously upgrade and update themselves to meet the present day requirements. He further informed that when we learn, we do not earn and when we earn we do not learn. People should have an urge to learn something new. We spend substantial amount of our income on entertainment and other things but, spend very negligible amount on education. Librarians have to reach to the unreached people. Librarians should visit places like INFLIBNET Centre as a tourist instead of visiting other entertainment places.
