The award of “Practicing Professional (PP)” is given to librarians who attain a prescribed level of training and professional development activities."

"Response has been encouraging. 45 members have been granted the award of PP with a validity period, Jan 2009 to Dec 2010. Another 30 members have been granted provisional approval for the award of PP."
