INDIA's PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTER
PRASAR BHARATI
NEW DELHI
Concerted efforts are being initiated at the Prasar Bharati, after a gap of several decades, to revitalise India's Public Broadcaster and make it a true People's Channel. Efforts are now being made to improve the situation, by taking steps such as setting up of the Recruitment Board, finalisation of Recruitment Regulations and filling up the vacant posts.
Ø With these efforts made during the last one year, proposals for setting up of Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board and finalisation of Recruitment Regulations have been pushed through and are in the final stage of approval.
Ø 3452 posts which were identified as critical and approved by Group of Ministers as far back as June, 2009 are now being filled up. 1150 posts have already been cleared and proposal for clearance of the balance posts is under active consideration of Department of Expenditure. Approval has also been accorded for recruitment of Group B and C posts through Staff Selection Commission pending setting up of Recruitment Board. Advertisement for 3023 posts in various categories (PEXs, TREXs, Production Assistants, Cameraman Grade II, Engineering Assistants, Technicians, Head clerks/ Assistants) have been released. This is the first major recruitment in Prasar Bharati in 15 years.
Ø To expedite Departmental Promotions Committees (DPCs), a High Power Committee has been constituted to scrutinise DPC proposals before these are referred to the Government so that the proposals are flawless and delay on account of cross references is avoided. Efforts are also being made to reduce stagnation to the extent possible by giving in-situ promotions, adhoc promotions as well as current duty charge of the higher posts. Wherever courts have given stay on holding DPCs, concerted efforts are being made to get the stay vacated in the interest of the employees.
