Govt media managers rue hurdles in salary hike
"As the government's communication specialists, they hook poor Indians on to a raft of welfare measures, such as tempting children to school with a humble bait: a free meal. In other instances, they could be advising farmers on soft government loans.
These employees are the
officialdom's equivalent of campaign managers of the high-paying and glossy PR world. Working mostly behind-the-scenes, they have an all-important mandate — keeping ordinary Indians posted on government programmes through campaigns, such as the flagship Bharat Nirman (nation-building).
Yet, these foot soldiers of the Indian Information Service continue to miss out on better pay and entitlements, despite a decision to merge the grade III and grade IV categories of the employees, according to a reply in Parliament on March 20."
