PB urged to drop Hindi for recruitment in TN

Madurai: Madurai MP Su Venkatesan has urged Union minister of information and broadcasting Anurag Singh Thakur to drop Hindi as a desirable qualification for the recruitments in Prasar Bharathi (PB) in Tamil Nadu.
He wrote to the minister on Sunday with regard to Prasar Bharathi’s invitation of applications for contractual engagement of multimedia journalists (MMJ) on full-time annual contract basis in employment notice number [E-88858]A-10/016/03/2022-TM&SO, dated January 11.
“The recruitment for MMJ is specifically for working in six districts of Tamil Nadu. Aspirants brought this to my notice with an apprehension that it had ‘desirable qualification’ of knowing Hindi and that it may affect their chances of getting the job despite having the other required skill sets,” the MP stated. tnn
