Which state public library Act provides for an independent minister for library services ?
Answer: D
The answer is West Bengal.
The West Bengal Public Libraries Act, 1979 set up a state-wide library system under the State Government's own library services administration, and West Bengal created a separate ministerial portfolio for library services. Partha De, who took considerable trouble to get the Act passed, became the state's first Minister for Library Services.
Kerala, Manipur and Mizoram also have public library Acts (Kerala's of 1989, Mizoram's of 1993), but the separate minister for library services is the feature that marks out West Bengal, so they are the distractors.
