Doordarshan Kendra Shillong (Prasar Bharti) Recruitment 2026: Empanelment of Casual Assignees (Various Posts)

This opportunity is ideal for experienced media professionals and fresh graduates residing in Meghalaya who are looking for contractual assignments in public service broadcasting. Candidates with degrees/diplomas in Journalism, Mass Communication, Film & Video Editing, or a background in news reading/reporting are well-suited. The roles require specific skills such as news writing, editing, broadcasting proficiency, and language skills (especially Khasi). Individuals seeking flexible, project-based work with a central government media organization will find this suitable.

This is explicitly a 'casual category empanelment' and 'not a regular post,' meaning it does not lead to permanent employment. Therefore, individuals seeking long-term, permanent government positions or those who are not comfortable with contractual work should not apply. Those without the specified educational qualifications or the minimum essential experience for particular roles (e.g., 3 years for Editorial Assistant) will not be eligible. Applicants not residing in Meghalaya may also find this unsuitable due to the local focus.

Doordarshan Kendra, as a unit of Prasar Bharti, is India's public service broadcaster, offering significant prestige and exposure in the media industry. While these are casual assignments, empanelment can provide valuable experience, networking opportunities, and a chance to contribute to national broadcasting. However, the scope for long-term career growth within these specific contractual roles is limited, as they are not permanent positions. It serves as an excellent platform for gaining experience within a reputable central government media establishment.
