For 18 years, not a single Prasar Bharati Engineer has been promoted. Even after all seats were transferred to Prasar Bharati on 1 April 2000, promotions remain stalled.
On 6 Aug 2024, Hon’ble CAT, New Delhi directed @MIB_India & @prasarbharati to implement promotions. Yet, more than a year later, the order is ignored. Instead of complying, MIB continues to fight contempt cases against its own employees!
This endless delay has destroyed morale. There are no shortages of vacancies—thousands of posts lie vacant. If promotions are given, it will strengthen Prasar Bharati, not weaken it. Engineers who have given decades of service are demoralised, discriminated, and left without career growth.
We urge @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, @DrLMurugan ji @sjaju1 Ji, @navneetsehgal3 ji @GauravDwivedi95 to immediately honour the CAT order, finalise promotion procedures, and end this injustice.
Enough delay. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Enough delay. We needs leaders who can decide.
For more than a quarter ‑ century—28 years since Prasar Bharati began(The Parliament of India passed the Prasar Bharati Act in 1990 to grant this autonomy, but it was not enacted until 15 September 1997.)—no promotion policy existed for its own employees. In 2023 the Prasar Bharati Board in its 182nd meeting finally decided a promotion procedure for Prasar Bharti Employees, ending decades of uncertainty. Yet in 2024 the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting put that very procedure in abeyance till further orders. Since then the file has shuttled between desks in MIB and Prasar Bharati, but no formal order has been issued till date. One stroke of a pen was enough to suspend the policy; making a positive decision, it seems, is far harder.
🎥 Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw once said:
“Why does a person not take a decision? Because he lacks confidence.
Why does he lack confidence? Because he lacks professional knowledge and competence…
If you must be a bloody fool, be one quickly. Take a decision, and then accept full responsibility for it.
In this country, because somebody won’t take a decision, costs escalate, papers lie in somebody’s face for days, for months, for years. And when they finally take a decision, the cost of a project has gone up tenfold. Who suffers? We, the people of India, suffer.”
Today, indecision is measured not only in crores but in shattered careers, dimmed hopes, and the slow erosion of India’s public‑service broadcasting ethos. We make a direct, heartfelt appeal to the Honorable Prime Minister of India @narendramodi@PMOIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw@ianuragthakur@MIB_India@DoPTGoI@sjaju1@GauravDwivedi95@navneetsehgal3@DrJitendraSingh@prasarbharati@PBWaves @DGDoordarshan @AkashvaniAIR@OfficeOfRSP@MSJEGOI
@SecyDIPPGOI @CabinetSecy_India @FinMinIndia@PIB_India @mygovindiaLead. Decide. Deliver.
Lift the abeyance on promotions immediately—let merit and seniority flow again.
Match our duties with our rights: CGHS‑grade medical cover, family‑pension security, clear career ladders—benefits long enjoyed by colleagues on deemed‑deputation, yet denied to us.
We do not ask for privilege; we ask for parity.
We do not seek confrontation; we seek a decision—taken in courage, upheld in fairness.#JusticeForPBEmployees #RecogniseAPBEE #DelayIsDenial #PBPromotionNow #SamManekshaw #DecisionTime

Shaping Future: Equality, Dignity, and Justice for All PB Employees
PB Employees of Prasar Bharati stood united—not just to protest, but to shape a better future. Our peaceful protest was a call for fairness, dignity, and equal treatment against the unjust 5 October 2007 cutoff.
Shaping Future Means:
1. Equal Rights for Equal Work
All employees once had equal benefits—CGHS, insurance, housing, pensions, and stable salaries. These were taken away from post-2007 recruits, even though we do the same work.
2. Recognizing Talent, Not Connections
We entered through national-level exams with top qualifications (https://t.co/IZQf48kI8h). Yet promotions went to less-qualified deputationists. This is not the future we deserve.
3. Putting People First
Colleagues like Jyoti Prakash Trivedi, Ankur Saxena, and Rahul Deshmukh died in service. Their families were denied support. This cannot be the legacy of public services.
To Shape a Better Tomorrow, We Demand:
1. End the 5 Oct 2007 cutoff
2. Restore all employee benefits
3. Return salary funding to the Consolidated Fund
4. Recognize APBEE for fair representation
5. Ensure promotions are based on merit
We are not asking for favors. We are demanding fairness.
Let’s shape a future where every employee is respected, and every family is protected.
