Happy New Year to everyone! 🎉
However, the morning of the New Year brought very sad and heartbreaking news.
Our colleague Anjani Mishra from Prayagraj has sadly passed away due to a stroke.
This loss feels even more painful as he leaves behind a 5-year-old daughter, and yesterday, 31st December, was his birthday. 😔
Om Shanti.
RIP Anjani Bhai 🙏
Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
May God give them the strength to endure this irreparable loss. 💔

A heartfelt thank you to @navneetsehgal3 Shri Navneet Kumar Sehgal Sir for his unwavering support to the Prasar Bharati Engineering Employees. Sir, your consistent willingness to meet us, patiently listen to our long-pending concerns, and extend every possible help on medical, promotional and welfare matters has truly strengthened the morale of our entire engineering fraternity.

Your empathetic leadership, clarity of thought, and readiness to stand with us whenever needed have given countless employees a sense of confidence and hope. It is rare to find a senior officer who not only understands the challenges of ground-level staff but also makes genuine efforts to address them within the available framework. Sir, for this, we remain deeply grateful.

On behalf of all Prasar Bharati Engineering Employees, I extend my best wishes for your excellent future, continued success, and good health. May your journey ahead continue to inspire many and bring positive transformation wherever you serve.

Despite our higher education and hard work, the date October 5, 2007, has pushed us backward. For the past 18 years, we have received no proper encouragement or growth opportunities, and our talent and efforts have not been valued. Now is the time to remove this discrimination at its root so that we can receive the rightful rewards of our labor and move forward.

6. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees

Salary Diverted from CFI to IEBR: Our salaries were once drawn from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI), ensuring stable, government-backed pay. After the 2007 cutoff, new PB recruits’ salaries were shifted to Prasar Bharati’s Internal Extra Budgetary Resources (IEBR), meaning they rely on the broadcaster’s own revenue. This move has destabilized our financial security – salaries now depend on fluctuating internal funds instead of guaranteed budget support. In fact, funding shortfalls have forced PB to dip into reserves to pay staff in the past. No employee should fear delayed or uncertain pay for serving the nation. We insist on financial stability and equal treatment in salary funding.

The 5 October 2007 cutoff is not just arbitrary—it is a gross violation of Articles 14 & 16, which guarantee equality and equal opportunity.
Prasar Bharati’s leadership and the Ministry have betrayed constitutional principles, eroding trust and destroying the morale of India’s public service broadcasters.

💔 No Family Pension for Prasar Bharti Employees
Late Jyoti Prakash Trivedi (DD News) died fighting cancer, denied Medical treatment and family pension due to the 5 October 2007 cutoff date.
Late Ankur Saxena (HPT Bundi) and Late Rahul Deshmukh (DDK Bhopal) also passed away; their families left destitute without terminal benefits.
Instead of compassion, MIB and PB dragged widows through court battles, denying the very social security promised by our Constitution.

3. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees
Before the Prasar Bharati Amendment Act, 2011, all employees—whether recruited directly by Prasar Bharati/SSC or on deemed deputation—enjoyed equal benefits. Our salaries were paid securely from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI) as a Grant-in-Aid through the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB).
We had:
CGHS medical coverage for quality healthcare
CGEGIS group insurance for financial security
GPRA housing under Central Pool accommodation
Pension, gratuity, and all standard service benefits
Common sense demands that with time, employee benefits, salaries, and social security should strengthen — not vanish.
Yet, in a shocking reversal, everything we once took for granted was systematically revoked for employees recruited after 5 October 2007, in the name of “autonomous body” status.
Post-2007 recruits lost CGHS & CGEGIS gradually after the 2012 Amendment, fully withdrawn by 2020.
Pension rights and family pensions denied to deceased employees’ families.
GPRA housing benefits removed, forcing employees to pay exorbitant market rents in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and other metros.
Promotions blocked, leaving new recruits stagnating at Grade Pay ₹4200/₹2400 for nearly two decades.

5 अक्टूबर 2007 वह तारीख है जिसने प्रसार भारती के कर्मचारियों के साथ भेदभाव और अन्याय की शुरुआत की। इससे पहले प्रसार भारती संशोधन अधिनियम, 2012 तक, सभी कर्मचारियों को समान सुविधाएँ जैसे CGHS, CGEGIS, और Central Pool Accommodation बराबर मिलती थीं।आज इस दिन को हम #BlackDayOfPBEmployees के रूप में मनाते हैं, ताकि इस अन्याय के खिलाफ आवाज़ उठाई जा सके और प्रसार भारती के सभी कर्मचारियों के लिए समान अधिकार और न्याय सुनिश्चित किया जा सके।
