Dedicated to the Arts and to the discovery of different cultures, Rachel Bussières, an anthropology student at Laval University, has developed a true passion for photography. Patient and contemplative in her approach, Rachel goes through a long process of trial and error with each masterpiece resting on the groundwork of a lot of other shots. During her journey to India where she worked as a photographer for the Tibetan Women’s Association in Dharamsala and the International Society for Ecology and Culture in Ladakh her relationship with the medium of photography grew profound.

Her exhibition, Village in the Sky, is a depiction of the village of Skindiyang situated in the high hills of Ladakh. Rachel was able to live in Skindiyang for a few days thanks to her affiliation with the International Society for Ecology and Culture . The exhibition flows from her desire to represent human nature in its day-to-day essence. In seeking to understand her subjects and to capture their portraits, Rachel first carried out one-on-one interviews with them. During her immersion with the people of Skindiyang, she became familiar with the language, food, and characteristics of daily life.

Village in the Sky tells the story of the villagers of Ladakh, but it also tells the story of a Westerner who went to visit them, who lived amongst them for many days. It is the story of friction between tradition and modernity, of culture shock, and of a type of adaptation that draws one into the emotions of one’s surrounding. Through art, Village in the Sky communicates the human experience of the villagers of Ladakh while also depicting the nature of the artist’s relationship with them.

Each photograph has been mounted on all-natural, handmade rice paper originating from Nepal and was printed in India using coloured ink. After separating out each individual pigment, the ink was carefully applied one image at a time. The end result encompasses the entire universe from which the photographs were taken.

Village in the Sky ran throughout the day on October 15th in Laval University’s Community Hall. It will also be displayed at ‘la galerie Tzara’ on rue Saint-Paul next spring.

Focus and scope

Shastri News reflects the values and goals of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute. As an Institute, we seek to facilitate sustainable, academic and cultural linkages that are mutually beneficial to India and Canada. Through Shastri News we desire to build a community of like-minded individuals who provide input and feedback on the issues we address. Shastri News concentrates on news of bi-national interest affecting the academic communities of Canada and India. In selecting which articles to cover, we attempt to strike a balance between major news, news that highlights the activities of our members, and news that highlights current Shastri grants and awards.

We cover news that is relevant, timely and useful to our audience. Institutional partnerships, research collaborations, alumni achievements, international conferences and recent publications, are examples of stories we will consider. We also pay attention to government trends and policies relating to higher education and internationalization.

We also receive story submissions from our readers, member representatives and alumni. We try to find reliable sources to corroborate stories provided by readers, members, alumni or online blog postings. Whenever possible, we attempt to link back to full-article online sources.

APF Canada Research Reports

Indian Higher Education: An Overview and Opportunities for Foreign Participation
This paper provides an overview of the Indian higher education system, with a special focus on the current status and possibilities of foreign participation in the sector. It presents an introduction to higher education in India and discusses important systemic challenges in the sector, specifically problems of insufficient access, disparities between social groups and regions, and quality control. These problems stem from the lack of public investment and a flawed regulatory structure, leading to the rapid and unregulated growth of private provision.

Author: Rohan Mukherjee (Bio)

A Perspective on Canada-India Higher Educational Partnerships: Prospects and Obstacles
The study looks at the growing interest in Canada in involvement with India, and examines developments in the Indian education sector as a possible area to focus the desire for greater engagement. It catalogues obsctacle on both the Indian and Canadian sides hindering the development of closer educational ties. While acknowledging the crucial role played by individual institutions and provincial governments in launching new initiatives, the paper identified the importance of a national strategy, and funding, to make Canadian institutions informed and competitive.

Author: Ryan Touhey (Bio)

Towards a Strategic Canada-India Relationship: Energy and Environment at the Core
This essay examines energy and environment as core pillars of the emergent relationship. They lever Canada’s strength and India’s needs on the energy front and connect to both countries’ strengths in science and technology: Canada with its leading environment technologies and India with its human capital that can advance its own needs and also contribute to the rest of the developing world.

Author: Ravi Seethapathy (Bio)

The Arrow Points Up: A Track II Perspective on Opportunities for Canada-India Security Policies in Afghanistan
The paper examines the current involvement of Canada and India in Afghanistan and finds considerable divergence. However, it sees room for cooperation in areas such as governance programs and rural development, in part because India is already providing $750 million in support. Cooperation on border management and security looks less likely, but there may be possibilities in security sector reform.

Author: Alistair Edgar (Bio)

The Case for Enhanced India-Canada Space Cooperation
The paper assesses the national policies and space programs of India and Canada in an effort to suggest the basis for enhanced bilateral cooperation in space activities between the two countries. Both India and Canada are space-faring nations actively involved in the exploration and use of outer space toward scientific and commercial ends. The paper seeks to show the way for each country to derive optimum scientific and economic benefits from their space activities through bilateral cooperation.

Innovation in Higher Education Partnerships with India : Comparing Canada , Australia , the United Kingdom and the United States
Since 2001, Ottawa and New Delhi have consistently expressed the need to develop closer bilateral political and economic relations, with education gaining attention as a means for generating partnerships that transcend traditional political and trade ties. Yet Canadian educators have frequently lamented that compared to Australia and the United Kingdom, there has been little coordination between the federal and provincial governments and post-secondary institutions, especially in the area of student recruitment.

Canada Asia Commentary

Number 53 – Nuclear Fallout — Implication of the World’s Nuclear Deal With India
On September 6, 2008 the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) agreed to exempt India from its rules barring nuclear dealings with countries, like India, that lack comprehensive international safeguards on their nuclear facilities. Exempting India clears the penultimate obstacle to the implementation of the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement initiated by India and the US in July 2005, reversing India’s decades-long isolation from the world’s civilian nuclear trade regime.

Author: Wade Huntley (Bio)

Number 25 – Is China an Economic Threat? The View from India
The opportunity offered by China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, capping a 20-year surge of economic progress, has captured the imagination of Western business. In the view of many outside observers India, with its own economic liberalization in the past decade, may follow the path of China to economic success. The Canadian Government seems to lean toward this view. Over the past few years, Ottawa has repaired its relationship with New Delhi, ruptured over India’s 1998 nuclear tests. But how realistic is the belief that India will achieve the success of China?

Author: Subhash Agrawal (Bio)

Number 22 – September 11, 2001 : The Impact on Asia
Most Asian nations have felt an impact from the September 11 terrorist attacks of the US that will likely continue over the next few years. Whether through new diplomatic alignments, more complex domestic political environments or enhanced regional roles, virtually all of Asia has been changed by the sharp reevaluation of priorities by the US since September 11.

Living with the Two Indias
There is a growing dichotomy in the way the world sees India after ten years of rapid political, economic and social change. On the one hand, there is the India of increasing political stability and potential for economic growth which is quickly integrating into the global economy; on the other, a nuclear-armed India with genuine security concerns in South Asia, yet having the potential to bring about greater peace and security in the region.

Canada in Asia

Canada and India: Broadening and Deepening the Relationship
The report is one of a series of papers commissioned by APF Canada in response to a dialogue on Canadian foreign policy initiated by Minister of Foreign Affairs Bill Graham. The author contends that until very recently, Canadian foreign policy toward South Asia has ranged from indifference to neglect. A major impediment has been India’s development of nuclear weapons, the result of dramatic changes in the geopolitical situation in South Asia that Canada has been unwilling to accept.

Author: Reeta Chowdhari Tremblay (Bio)

Canada-India Trade: Retrospect and Prospects
The report provides a comprehensive review of the Canada-India merchandise trading relationship for the period 1985-2000, with specific emphasis on Canadian exports to India. It examines the nature and structure of Canada-India merchandise trade, identifies sectors in which Canada has a comparative advantage and prospects for increased exports. It also points to some major discrepancies in merchandise trade statistics between the two countries.

Author: Nizar Assanie (Bio)

Emerging India: Canadian Business Perceptions on Trade and Investment
Emerging India: Canadian Business Perceptions on Trade and Investment is the first comprehensive national survey of Canadian business perceptions of India. The survey analyzes the responses of senior executives on the opportunities and risks presented by the vast Indian market. Conducted in February-March 2003, the survey targeted small, medium and large Canadian firms in a wide range of sectors, including those considered to be “priority” sectors in the Indian market: advanced manufacturing, agriculture and food products, electric power, ITCs and transportation.

Author: Nizar Assanie (Bio)

What Works, What Doesn’t in the Indian Market
This report provides the first comprehensive look at Canadian services and investment activity in India. It is based on field research in both India and Canada, and an analysis of trade and investment statistics. Based on this, it estimates Canada sold $336 million of commercial services in India in 2002, some 2S times greater than official statistics. It also estimates the stock of investment in India by the 43 companies interviewed at $284 million, about twice the Statistics Canada estimate of total Canadian FDI in the country.

Policy

The Institute strives to be a good steward of the public and donor funds that is entrusted to it. Therefore it will be prudent, accountable and transparent in how it invests money in traveling, meals and accommodation.

This policy applies to employees, Executive Council members and committee members travelling on Shastri business. All travel must be approved by the Institute in order for individuals to claim reimbursement.

Where participating GOI officials are entitled to higher rates and travel fares due to position status, the Shastri Institute, through its rupee grant, will pay any difference between the approved Shastri Institute rates and the entitlement amounts.

General guidelines

When choosing a mode of transport or purchasing a ticket the following guidelines will be used:
The cheapest mode of transport or a combination of modes will be used.
The cheapest available economy class ticket will be bought.
Submission of boarding pass and receipts are required for all travels.
Bookings will be made as far in advance as possible.
Shastri office will not be responsible for the cancellation charges, fines or penalties incurred by the traveler due to cancellation or re-scheduling of bookings without valid reasons, which may include any unforeseen event beyond the participants’ control that requires changing or cancelling the travel schedule for Shastri affairs (e.g., additional Shastri meeting or commitment for which the officials need to stay back, or when the meetings finish much earlier than expected, flight cancellation, personal or family illness or emergencies, etc.). In the event of arising of any such situation, the concerned Shastri office/staff (India or Canada) should be notified immediately.
People can upgrade flights or accommodation at their own expense. The Institute will pay its portion in accordance to the guidelines stated above.

Maximum rate permissible in India is Rs. 10,000 per day and in Canada $200 per day.
Travellers needing to extend their accommodation for additional days or exceeding maximum allowable accommodation rates must seek prior approval from appropriate authorities (e.g., President, Secretary/Treasurer, Executive Director, or Director, as appropriate).
Travellers wishing to extend their stay for personal reasons should pay for their own expenses for the extra days of accommodation.
If private accommodation is chosen over commercial accommodation, the traveler may claim for the private accommodation according to the Institute’s published rates.

In August 1973 the Shastri Institue instigated a microfilm project which is no longer running. The objective of the project was to film materials of research value to a significant number of Canadian and India Scholars and to preserve materials in serious danger of deterioration. A copy of all materials microfilmed throughout the duration of this project is available at the University of Toronto.

This webpage covers the general procedures to follow when purchasing books, periodicals or other library materials through the facilities of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute (SICI). It is only as current as recent updates can make it. If there are areas that are not discussed, or situations that are not covered fully, members of the Executive of the Library Committee can be called on as resource persons.

Ordering library materials, either in printed formats or audio-visual formats, involves communication between the member universities and the staff of the SICI, New Delhi Office. The address of the New Delhi office is:

Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute
5, Bhai Vir Singh Marg,
New Delhi- 110 001
India

Telephone : (0091-11) 2374-2677, 2374-6417, 2374-3114
Fax : (0091-11) 23746416
E-mail : .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

The Programme Officer is the contact person for matters that relate to the ordering and processing of materials through the New Delhi Office. Each university has an acquisitions programme that depends on the nature of its collection needs, number of graduate courses, faculty involved in current research and so on. With the intent of rationalizing resources and maintaining and building on several research level collections, the Resource Libraries have higher allocations than the Support Libraries whose allocations are largely meant to fund programme at their own institution.

Libraries become active in the Library Programme when their university joins the Institute. They receive their allocation after approval of the budget by the Shastri Board of Directors. Once the funding has been received by the Institute, the Library is notified of its allocation and may begin placing orders.
As orders are placed with Delhi Office the acquisitions budget of each university is adjusted. Monthly expenditure statements are sent to each Library Committee Representative reflecting current account and future projections of expenditure. Expenditures are the net cost of items purchased, and estimated commitments represent new orders sent out to dealers but not yet received. Monthly statements for Book shipment are also sent to each members.

In general, soft cover books greater than fifty (50) pages in length are bound prior to shipment. However, individual libraries may request this binding not be done. Material is shipped about 3-4 times a month by registered parcel post in packets weighing between 10-15 Kgs. The postage is paid and then the packets are delivered to the address in Canada. Rush items may be sent by air if requested, or separately in small packages as directed. Every effort is made by the Delhi Office to conserve expenditures and to run an efficient operation. Discounts on the Indian price of commercial items are negotiated by the Delhi Office. Discounts are passed on to the libraries.

All purchases are in rupee funds, as the Institute does not have the facility to purchase material in dollars. As well, it is not able to purchase items published outside of the current geographic boundaries of India. Imprints more than fifty years old cannot be purchased through the Institute.

Besides documents in English language, titles in vernacular languages are also acquired under the programme. Members in Canada have also purchased non-print documents such as microfilms, films, records, video caseettes, CDs etc. Manuscripts are generally not available for export.

Faculty requests for library materials should be directed to the Library Committee representative, or designate, at each member university. Procedures to ensure that material is accurately described and that duplicate purchases are avoided, is the responsibility of the Library Committee representative of respective library. To some extent the Delhi Office will query duplicate orders, but this is not always possible.

Ordering

Initially each library should write to the Programme Officer in Delhi Office and indicate to whom correspondence and statements are to be sent. (This is a seized publication so please omit this portion.) A library may acquire its materials by Firm orders or may establish Blanket order plan.

A. Firm Order

Firm orders are those requests for purchase that are sent out individually by each library to the Delhi Office (The Delhi Office sometimes refers to firm orders as special orders). Each title should be described on a library purchase order form, giving as complete a bibliographic description as is possible. The Delhi Office prefers to have two (2) copies of the purchase order, and will return one with the material. Materials may also be ordered via letter, fax or E-mail, in which case the Delhi Office staff will make its own slip.

Each firm order must indicate a publisher or a distributor for the items wanted, and if possible, source where that item can be obtained, such as on out-of-print dealer, a university department etc. The Indian book trade is very large, scattered over a continent, and with only limited tools for bibliographic control. The Delhi Office maintains a working list of book vendors and distributors to acquire materials arranged by language or by geographic area.

When the material is received by the Delhi Office, it is sorted by university, the accounts are adjusted, some titles may be bound, and then the material is prepared for weighing and shipment. Each book has small bookplate of the Institute affixed to the front end paper, and the copy of the original order is attached as well. Parcels are marked on the outside with a packet number and with B/O or S/O, to indicate whether they are respectively blanket order books or firm order books. A monthly statement is sent to each library indicating the details of each book shipment sent, the time period, library packet number and number of books sent. A note on any periodicals sent separately may also be included. This statement is a useful cross-check on receipts.

Government documents are included in the book parcels whereas serials are sent separately by registered book parcels once a month by sea and twice a month by air as per instructions from the library.

The turn-around time on firm orders varies with the type of material ordered. Vernacular titles may take longer than titles in English, if they cannot be supplied from New Delhi dealers. A turn around time of six months seems to be average. Many academics, publishers and librarians in India are aware of the difficulties in obtaining current imprints and their concerns are a matter of public record. The SICI India office staff is aware of these concerns, and maintains regular contact with many individuals in the book trade.

B. Blanket Orders

A blanket plan is an alternative method for acquiring Indian imprints. After a suitable subject profile has been drawn up in Canada, the Delhi staff acquires materials that fall under the guidelines of the subject profile. A large card file is maintained on all titles supplied on all blanket plans, and on this is a record of which universities have received that title. Subject profiles are based on the general classification scheme of the Indian National Bibliography, with other form exclusions.

C. Serials and Government Documents

Serials and Government documents are treated as standing orders and renewal for such documents are done on regular basis. A Kardex is maintained of all such publications that are supplied on a subscription basis to libraries in Canada. Serials are sent through airmail only.

D. Databases of Orders

Apart from the existing database in Bibbase for special orders, efforts are taking place to develop databases for all types of orders deal in the India Office using WIN_ISIS.

Binding/Postage/Catalogue Cards/Etc.

All charges to a library are itemized on a monthly expenditure statement. Postage is charged according to the cost of each bulk shipment. There is no attempt to pro-rate postage charges against the contents of each package. When special charges are incurred such as airmail, they may appear on the statements as special notes. In addition, the Delhi Office purchases packing material for the mailing of books on an annual or biannual basis. The cost of the material is charged to the individual libraries on a proportional basis according to the annual budget allocations (A proposal has been made to the Library committee to set aside annual budget for this purpose).

Soft cover books greater than fifty (50) pages are as a routine bound prior to shipment, unless a library requests otherwise. The binding is done in New Delhi by a commercial binder.

The Delhi Office is always ready to co-operate with each member university in the acquisition of library materials or in service to researchers, and will promptly answer all correspondence and enquiries.

Cette page Web présente la procédure générale à suivre pour l’achat de livres, de périodiques ou d’autre matériel de bibliothèque par les services de l’Institut indo-canadien Shastri (IICS). Cette procédure est aussi actuelle que les mises à jour récentes le permettent. Si certains domaines ne sont pas couverts, ou si des situations ne sont pas entièrement couvertes, les membres de la direction du Comité des bibliothèques peuvent être contactés à titre de personnes ressources.

La commande de matériel bibliothécaire, sous format papier ou audio-visuel, implique la communication entre l’université membre et le personnel de l’IICS du bureau de New Delhi. Les coordonnées du bureau de New Delhi sont les suivantes :

Téléphone : (0091-11) 2374-2677, 2374-6417, 2374-3114
Télécopieur : (0091-11) 23746416
Courriel : .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Le vice-président du bureau de l’Inde ne s’implique pas directement dans le programme des bibliothèques en général, et compte sur le Comité des bibliothèques pour les conseils en matière de bibliothèque et en finances.

L’agent de programme est la personne ressource pour les questions se rapportant aux commandes et à l’acheminement du matériel par le bureau de New Delhi. Chaque université a un programme d’acquisitions qui dépend de la nature des besoins de sa collection, du nombre de cours aux cycles supérieurs, des professeurs qui ont des recherches en cours et ainsi de suite. Dans le but de rationaliser les ressources en plus de maintenir et de bâtir plusieurs collections de recherche, les bibliothèques ressources reçoivent des allocations plus importantes que les bibliothèques de soutien, dont les allocations visent surtout à financer le programme dans leur propre établissement.

Les bibliothèques deviennent actives dans le programme des bibliothèques dès que leur université se joint à l’Institut. Elles reçoivent leur allocation après approbation du budget par le conseil d’administration de l’Institut Shastri. La bibliothèque est avisée de son allocation à la réception du financement par l’Institut et peut alors commencer à passer des commandes.

Comme les commandes sont passées au bureau de Delhi, le budget d’acquisitions de chaque université est ajusté. Les relevés mensuels des dépenses sont envoyés à chaque représentant du Comité des bibliothèques et présentent le compte courant ainsi que les projections futures des dépenses. Les dépenses correspondent au coût net des articles achetés, et les estimations des engagements représentent les nouvelles commandes envoyées aux marchands, mais qui n’ont pas encore été reçues. Les relevés mensuels pour l’envoi des livres sont aussi acheminés à chaque membre.

En général, les livres à couverture souple de plus de cinquante (50) pages sont reliés avant d’être envoyés. Cependant, les bibliothèques peuvent demander que cette reliure ne soit pas faite. Le matériel est envoyé environ 3 à 4 fois par mois par colis postaux enregistrés en paquets dont le poids varie de 10 à 15 kg. L’envoi postal est payé et ensuite les paquets sont livrés à l’adresse au Canada. Les articles urgents peuvent être envoyés par avion sur demande, ou séparément dans de petits emballages selon les directives données. Tous les efforts sont faits par le bureau de Delhi pour contrôler les dépenses et gérer efficacement cette activité. Des rabais sur le prix de commerce des articles en Inde sont négociés par le bureau de Delhi. Ces rabais sont appliqués aux prix payés par les bibliothèques.

Tous les achats sont en roupies, puisque l’Institut n’a pas la possibilité de faire l’achat du matériel en dollars. De plus, l’Institut ne peut pas acheter des articles publiés à l’extérieur des frontières géographiques actuelles de l’Inde. Les documents imprimés qui ont plus de cinquante ans ne peuvent être achetés par l’Institut.

En plus des documents en langue anglaise, des titres en langues vernaculaires sont aussi acquis dans le cadre du programme. Les membres au Canada ont également acheté des documents non imprimés comme des microfilms, des films, des enregistrements, des vidéocassettes, des CD, etc. En général, les manuscrits ne peuvent pas être exportés.

Les demandes des professeurs pour du matériel de bibliothèque devraient être dirigées au représentant du Comité des bibliothèques, ou à son remplaçant désigné, dans chaque université membre. Les procédures qui permettent d’assurer que le matériel est décrit de façon adéquate et que les achats en double sont évités sont sous la responsabilité du représentant du Comité des bibliothèques de la bibliothèque concernée. Jusqu’à un certain point, le bureau de Delhi vérifiera que les commandes n’ont pas déjà été faites, mais ce n’est pas toujours possible.

Effectuer une commande

Au départ, chaque bibliothèque devrait écrire à l’agent de programme au bureau de Delhi et indiquer à qui la correspondance et les relevés doivent être envoyés. (Il s’agit d’une publication saisie, veuillez omettre cette partie.) La bibliothèque peut faire l’acquisition de son matériel par commande ferme ou peut établir un plan de commande globale.

A. Commande ferme

Les commandes fermes sont les demandes d’achat qui sont envoyées par chaque bibliothèque au bureau de Delhi (le bureau de Delhi désigne parfois les commandes fermes par le terme « commandes spéciales »). Chaque titre devrait être décrit sur un formulaire de bon de commande pour bibliothèque, accompagné de la meilleure description bibliographique possible. Le bureau de Delhi préfère recevoir deux (2) exemplaires du bon de commande, et retournera l’un de ces bons avec le matériel. Le matériel peut aussi être commandé par courrier, par télécopieur ou par courriel; dans ces cas, le personnel du bureau de Delhi préparera son propre bordereau.
L’éditeur ou le distributeur doit être indiqué sur chaque commande ferme pour les articles voulus, et si possible, la source où l’article peut être obtenu, comme chez un marchand d’éditions épuisées, dans un département universitaire, etc. Le marché du livre indien est très vaste, dispersé sur tout un continent, et les outils pour le contrôle bibliographique sont limités. Le bureau de Delhi conserve une liste de travail des libraires et des distributeurs où le matériel à acheter est classé par langue et par région géographique.
Au moment où le matériel est reçu par le bureau de Delhi, il est classé par université, les comptes sont ajustés, certains titres peuvent être reliés, et ensuite le matériel est préparé pour être pesé et envoyé. Dans chaque livre, un petit ex-libris de l’Institut est apposé en deuxième de couverture, et un exemplaire de la commande originale est également joint. Le numéro du paquet est inscrit à l’extérieur du colis avec l’inscription B/O pour les commandes globales et S/O pour les commandes fermes. Un relevé mensuel est envoyé à chaque bibliothèque et comprend le détail de chaque envoi de livres, la période, le numéro du paquet de la bibliothèque et le nombre de livres envoyés. Une note sur les périodiques envoyés séparément peut aussi être jointe. Ce relevé est utile pour vérifier les reçus.
Les documents du gouvernement sont envoyés dans les colis avec les livres, tandis que les périodiques sont envoyés séparément dans des colis enregistrés une fois par mois par voie maritime et deux fois par mois par avion selon les directives de la bibliothèque.
Le temps de traitement des commandes fermes varie en fonction du type de matériel commandé. Les titres vernaculaires peuvent prendre plus de temps que les titres anglais, s’ils ne peuvent pas être fournis par des marchands de New Delhi. Le temps de traitement moyen semble être de six mois. De nombreux universitaires, éditeurs et bibliothécaires de l’Inde sont conscients des difficultés à obtenir les documents imprimés actuels et leurs préoccupations sont de notoriété publique. Le personnel du bureau de l’IICS en Inde est conscient de ces préoccupations et garde un contact régulier avec de nombreuses personnes impliquées dans la vente de livres.

B. Commande globale

Une autre façon de faire l’acquisition de documents imprimés en Inde est le plan de commande globale. Le profil adéquat du sujet doit d’abord être préparé au Canada; ensuite, le personnel de Delhi fait l’acquisition du matériel qui correspond aux indications de ce profil. Un important fichier de cartes est conservé sur tous les titres fournis dans tous les plans de commande globale, et dans ce fichier apparaît le nom des universités qui ont reçu les titres. Les profils des sujets sont basés sur le plan de classification général de la bibliographie nationale de l’Inde, mais comprennent des différences sur la forme.

C. Périodiques et documents gouvernementaux

Les périodiques et les documents gouvernementaux sont traités comme des commandes permanentes et le renouvellement de ces documents se fait de façon régulière. Toutes les publications qui sont offertes sur abonnement à des bibliothèques au Canada sont enregistrées dans un fichier. Les périodiques sont envoyés par avion seulement.

D. Bases de données des commandes

En plus de la base de données qui existe dans le logiciel BibBase pour les commandes spéciales, des efforts sont mis pour créer des bases de données de tous les types de commandes traitées par le bureau de l’Inde dans WIN_ISIS.

Reliure, envois postaux, fiches catalographiques, etc.

Tous les frais facturés à la bibliothèque sont présentés sur un relevé mensuel des dépenses. L’envoi postal est facturé en fonction du coût de chaque envoi global. Les frais d’envoi ne sont pas calculés au prorata du contenu de chaque paquet. Si des frais spéciaux sont entraînés, comme pour les envois par avion, ils peuvent apparaître sur les relevés sous forme de notes spéciales. De plus, le bureau de Delhi achète le matériel d’emballage pour l’envoi des livres de façon annuelle ou semestrielle. Le coût du matériel est facturé à chaque bibliothèque proportionnellement aux allocations du budget annuel (une proposition a été faite au Comité des bibliothèques pour qu’il prévoie un montant à cet effet dans son budget annuel).

Les livres à couverture souple de plus de cinquante (50) pages sont habituellement reliés avant d’être envoyés, sauf si la bibliothèque demande qu’ils ne le soient pas. La reliure se fait à New Delhi chez un relieur commercial.

Le bureau de Delhi est toujours prêt à collaborer avec chaque université membre que ce soit pour l’acquisition de matériel de bibliothèque ou pour le service aux chercheurs, et répondra promptement à toute la correspondance et aux requêtes.

Ordering Procedure

One of the major initiatives in the area of reference materials that the Shastri Institute facilitates is the India Studies Library Programmme. The Library Programme acquires current Indian publications for scholarly and public use in the libraries of the member institutions. The programme is funded through grants received from the Government of India and is looked after by the Library Programme Advisory Committee (LPAC).

The libraries of SICI’s three founding members, the University of Toronto, McGill University, and the University of British Columbia, act as resource libraries. They house extensive research collections that are available on loan to scholars throughout Canada. The other members act as support libraries, acquiring material on a more limited scale to support their individual India Studies programmes. Institute policy forbids the use of its funds to purchase rare or antiquarian materials in India.

Subjects covered under the library program included vast topics with the humanities, sciences and social sciences. The reference materials provided include publications in print and non-print (mainly CDs) and are mainly in English with some vernacular languages including Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Sanskri and Urdu.

If you are a Canadian Scholar looking for resource materials on India we suggest contacting the LPAC representative at your institution for more information on the resources we provide. To find your representative please click here.

L’une des principales initiatives dans le domaine du matériel de référence qu’offre l’Institut Shastri est le programme des bibliothèques pour les études indiennes. Le programme des bibliothèques permet de faire l’acquisition de publications indiennes actuelles pour les mettre à la disposition des universitaires et du public dans les bibliothèques des établissements membres. Le programme est financé par des subventions reçues du gouvernement de l’Inde et est suivi par le Comité consultatif du programme des bibliothèques (CCPB).

Les trois membres fondateurs des bibliothèques de l’IICS – l’Université de Toronto, l’Université McGill et l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique – agissent comme bibliothèques ressources. Ils accueillent des collections de recherche étendues qui sont disponibles pour prêt aux universitaires de partout au Canada. Les autres membres agissent comme bibliothèques de soutien, en faisant l’acquisition de matériel à plus petite échelle pour soutenir chacun de leurs programmes d’études indiennes. La politique de l’Institut interdit l’utilisation des fonds pour l’achat de matériel rare ou antique en Inde.

Les thèmes couverts par le programme des bibliothèques comprennent divers sujets liés aux sciences humaines, aux sciences et aux sciences sociales. Le matériel de référence fourni comprend des publications sur papier et sous d’autres formats (principalement sur CD), et ce matériel est principalement en anglais et dans quelques langues vernaculaires dont le bengali, l’hindi, le marathe, le punjabi, le sanskrit et l’urdu.

Si vous êtes un universitaire canadien qui recherche du matériel de référence sur l’Inde, nous vous suggérons de contacter le représentant du CCPB de votre établissement pour obtenir plus de renseignements sur les ressources que nous offrons.

The Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute has allocated up to $1,000 for each Canadian member institution to assist with the expenses of hosting a Shastri Institute 40th Anniversary Celebration. We encourage all member representatives to strike committees to plan celebration programs, partnering with their own institutions, member institutions in their cities, community Indo-Canadian associations, relevant student associations, local Indo-Canadian business associations and/or any other relevant body. Among the programs being planned at various campuses are: music or dance cultural programs, film showings or film series, lectures or lecture series and informational sessions presented by a Shastri Institute officer. Programs should be completed by March 31, 2008. Funds will be distributed on an ongoing basis from now until December of 2008 but the final date for the submission of proposals will be November 1, 2008.

We encourage our member representatives to integrate fundraising for the Institute in their celebration plans. For example, these grants could be used as seed money to organize a revenue sharing fundraising activity with a local Indo-Canadian association or with a university’s Indian Students’ Association. This would be beneficial for both parties.

To receive a grant, Shastri Institute member representatives are asked to complete the application form below, outlining their activity and budget. Proposals will be reviewed by the Canada office staff. We also require that member representatives submit a final report upon the completion of their event. Please send us pictures and media related to your event as we would love to feature them on our website!

The Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute is a non-profit organization with registered charitable status in Canada. We are funded through membership dues and grants from the Government of India Ministry of Human Resource Development, the Canadian International Development Agency, the Government of Canada Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, and private donors. The Institute is governed by a bi-national Executive Council, which is elected by representatives from Canadian and Indian Member Institutions. The presidency alternates annually between Canada and India. The Institute also operates with guidance of our Indian Administrative Committee and with advice from the Indian Advisory Council.

We could not run our programs without the help of our volunteers who adjudicate applications, perform peer reviews, and help planning programs and in fundraising.

L’Institut indo-canadien Shastri est un organisme à but non lucratif dont le statut caritatif est enregistré au Canada. Notre financement provient des cotisations des membres et des subventions du ministère du Développement en Ressources humaines de l’Inde, de l’Agence canadienne de développement international, du ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Commerce international du Canada, et de donateurs privés. L’Institut est dirigé par un Conseil exécutif, qui est élu par des représentants des Établissements membres du Canada et de l’Inde. La présidence alterne chaque année entre le Canada et l’Inde. L’Institut suit également les directives de son Comité administratif indien et les conseils du Comité consultatif indien.

Nous ne pourrions faire fonctionner nos programmes sans l’aide de nos bénévoles qui jugent les demandes, effectuent des révisions internes et aident à planifier les programmes et à faire des collectes de fonds.

The Shastri Institute has been instrumental in building understanding, respect and goodwill between our two great countries for the last forty years.

The idea of an Institute to promote scholarly activity between India and Canada was first conceived by Michael Brecher, a Political Science Professor at McGill University. In 1966, Brecher informally broached the idea to the visiting Indian Finance Minister T. T. Krishnamachari who immediately replied that it was a “splendid idea.” In 1968 a joint announcement of the Government of Canada and the Government of India, gave birth to the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute.

Initially, our focus was to encourage University level Canadian teaching and research on India. With an emphasis on the humanities and social sciences, our programs funded fellowships and distributed Indian books and journals to the libraries of its Canadian member institutions. The growing interest in India Studies among Canadian academics led to a reciprocal interest in Canada among Indian scholars. In the early 1980s, we began to promote Canadian Studies in India. More recently, our activities have broadened further into the field of development studies and sustainability.

Today, the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute maintains offices in Canada and India. Our Canada office is located on the premises of the University of Calgary, which are provided to us at no cost by the University’s Board of Governors. Our India Office is located in central New Delhi and was built by Canadian Government funds on land provided by the Government of India.

L’Institut Shastri a participé à la mise en place de compréhension, de respect et de bonne volonté entre nos deux grands pays ces quarante dernières années.
L’idée de mettre sur pied un Institut pour promouvoir les activités universitaires entre l’Inde et le Canada est d’abord venue de Michael Brecher, professeur de sciences politiques à l’Université McGill. En 1966, M. Brecher a présenté de façon informelle l’idée au ministre des Finances de l’Inde en visite T. T. Krishnamachari qui a immédiatement répondu qu’il s’agissait d’une « idée splendide ». En 1968, une annonce conjointe du gouvernement du Canada et du gouvernement de l’Inde a donné naissance à l’Institut indo-canadien Shastri.

Au départ, notre objectif était d’encourager l’enseignement et la recherche canadienne sur l’Inde au niveau universitaire. En mettant l’accent sur les sciences sociales, nos programmes ont financé des bourses et ont permis de distribuer des livres et des revues indiennes dans les bibliothèques de nos établissements membres canadiens. L’intérêt grandissant pour les études indiennes chez les universitaires canadiens a mené à un intérêt réciproque envers le Canada chez les universitaires de l’Inde. Au début des années 1980, nous avons commencé à promouvoir les études canadiennes en Inde. Plus récemment, nos activités se sont élargies et ont atteint le champ des études en développement durable.

Aujourd’hui, l’Institut indo-canadien Shastri a des bureaux au Canada et en Inde. Notre bureau du Canada est situé à l’Université de Calgary, et nous est fourni sans frais par le Conseil des gouverneurs de l’Université. Notre bureau en Inde est situé au centre de New Delhi et a été construit grâce à des fonds du gouvernement du Canada sur un terrain fourni par le gouvernement de l’Inde.

Our Mission

“To improve the quality of life of the peoples of Canada and India by building and strengthening intellectual and cultural linkages through research, dialogue and exchange”

The Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute is a binational organization that promotes understanding between India and Canada through academic activities and exchanges.

Our broad-based initiatives support the creation of binational links between academia, government, the business community and civil society organizations by funding research and hosting seminars. Our internships and fellowships provide opportunities for individuals to gain first-hand experience in India or Canada. In addition, our book and journal programme provides valuable resources to students and faculty at our member universities.

The Shastri Institute is funded by and partners closely with government bodies in both India and Canada. The Institute aims to achieve gender equality and reduce poverty by focusing programming on sustainable development and other United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

Over the Institute’s forty year history we have awarded hundreds of fellowships. Many recipients report these were life changing experiences. As well, the Institute has placed thousands of books in Canadian and Indian university libraries, presented dozens of seminars and funded world class research.

We are named after Lal Bahadur Shastri, Prime Minister of India from 1964-1966.

Notre mission:

“Améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes vivant au Canada et celle vivant en Inde en construisant et en renforçant des liens intellectuels et culturels au moyen de la recherche, du dialogue et des échanges.”

L’Institut indo-canadien Shastri est une organisation binationale qui fait la promotion de la compréhension entre l’Inde et le Canada par des activités universitaires et des échanges.

Nos initiatives à grande échelle soutiennent la création de liens binationaux entre les universitaires, le gouvernement, les gens d’affaires et les organisations de la société civile par le financement de la recherche et la tenue de séminaires. Nos stages et nos bourses offrent aux gens la possibilité de vivre une expérience sur place en Inde ou au Canada. De plus, notre programme de livres et de revues met des ressources importantes à la disposition des étudiants et des professeurs universitaires de nos universités membres.

L’Institut Shastri est financé par des organismes gouvernementaux et travaille en partenariat avec ceux-ci en Inde et au Canada. L’Institut vise l’égalité des sexes et la réduction de la pauvreté en centrant la programmation sur le développement durable et d’autres objectifs du millénaire pour le développement des Nations Unies.

Au cours des quarante ans d’histoire de l’Institut, nous avons remis des centaines de bourses. De nombreux récipiendaires ont rapporté que ces expériences avaient changé leur vie. De plus, l’Institut a placé des centaines de livres dans les bibliothèques universitaires au Canada et en Inde, a présenté des dizaines de séminaires et a financé des recherches de catégorie mondiale.
L’Institut tient son nom de Lal Bahadur Shastri, premier ministre de l’Inde de 1964 à 1966.
