Expert Group on Operationalisation of Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board Recommends Measures for Speedy Promotions and Free and Fair Recruitment




The expert group on operationalisation of Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board has recommended several measures for ensuring speedy promotions of employees and free and fair recruitment through the proposed Recruitment Board.  The group has submitted its report to CEO Prasar Bharati, Sh.Jawhar Sircar. The group included Dr. S.P. Gaur, former Secretary UPSC and Sh. N.K. Raghupathy former Chairman Staff Selection Commission. In its report the group has recommended immediate constitution of the Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board as an essential prerequisite for giving effect to policy decisions of Prasar Bharati in Human Resources sphere. It has suggested that the proposed Board should have a chairperson and two full time members of the rank and status of Secretary to the Government of India.
The expert group further recommended that review of existing Recruitment Rules and notification of new Recruitment Regulations need urgent action in a time bound manner. The Group has suggested that after constitution of Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board, the need for consultation with UPSC should be dispensed with to ensure that long pending promotions and direct recruitments are done on a priority basis in consultation with the Board. 
The panel also recommended that the current and tested technology consistent with the best industry practices should be used by Prasar Bharati Recruitment Board from its inception. Also only online applications should be invited for direct recruitment through open competitive examinations and selection method.  Some activities suggested by the Board include online registration of applications and processing and conduct of online examinations and skill tests in appropriate cases.
The Expert Group has suggested holding of 8 open examinations and 3 limited departmental examinations every year. It has recommended that for 32 direct recruitment posts there should be a selection method with screening test and/or skill test and personality test cum interview. Audition will also be prescribed for certain posts.
 It has also been recommended that the Guidelines made by the expert group should be reviewed and modified by the Recruitment Board periodically, once in every 5 years. The first such review should be 3 years after creation of the Board to take care of the initial gaps and shortcomings, if any."


The expert group held two rounds of discussions with field and HQs officers of AIR and Doordarshan to get their views while drafting the report.
