Government jobs in the Media Sector

Earning a Job in the government sector is the biggest achievement; a student does in his career. Same is the case with Media jobs , the number of private jobs in the field of media and advertising is increasing day by day, but the government sectors in the field of media is same. The jobs and the departments are increasing, but slowly, due to which most of the students land up doing media jobs in the private production houses.

Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is the body governing the functioning of the media government sector. This is the body, which is responsible for the control of all media houses in the country. Though, the media houses owned by the government sector have lost its popularity with the private one"s coming into practise. But, the body as a whole is still the most powerful in terms of controlling the implementation and execution of different visuals, films, advertisements or any printed, audio or broadcast material. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has the right to ban or withhold the functioning of any promotion material, which is harming the integrity of the country or is against the laws. The different departments under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in which one can apply for a job are:

Directorate of advertising and Visual Publicity, or DAVP, is the government body for the regularisation and authorisation of the advertisements and the publicity material released for the use of publicising the government and ministerial components. The body is responsible for the formation and implementation of laws related to the advertising and the visual publicity industry.
