Prasar Bharati (Akashvani Jalandhar) Casual News Reader-cum-Translator (Punjabi) Vacancies 2026

This role is ideal for graduates with strong proficiency in Punjabi language (including typing) and a good broadcast-suitable voice. Candidates with prior journalistic experience in radio/TV and basic computer knowledge will be highly preferred. It suits individuals residing in or near Jalandhar who are looking for assignment-based work with a public service broadcaster.

Applicants lacking a graduate degree or proficiency in Punjabi with typing skills should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment with a fixed pay scale might find this casual, assignment-based role unsuitable, as it doesn't offer the stability of a regular position. Individuals not residing in Jalandhar or nearby areas may also face difficulties given the local focus.

Working with Prasar Bharati (Akashvani, India's public service broadcaster) offers valuable experience and a chance to contribute to national media, which carries significant prestige. While this is an assignment-based casual role rather than a permanent position, it can serve as an excellent entry point into public broadcasting, potentially opening doors for future opportunities within the organization or media industry. Growth potential primarily lies in gaining experience and showcasing talent within the public broadcasting sector.
