Abstract
The Library & information science (LIS) curriculum that are followed in Indian Universities do not
have all the facets to make the young LIS graduates a competent one in the present job market. Only
inclusion of the ICT application in the syllabus cannot help them to encounter with challenges in the
working environment in the library and information centres. Here two approaches i.e. interdisciplinary
and inter-institutional have been put forwarded which can be considered to develop the skills
of the LIS professionals. Also the efforts of some the organizations and institutes related to LIS in
India are highlighted.
