New Delhi, March 10: Rapping Prasar Bharati for the dwindling number of women employees in lower categories, a Parliamentary panel has asked it to take appropriate measures to create more job opportunities for the fairer sex.
The committee also observed that the status of employees of Prasar Bharati was in a state of limbo.
The report ? Working Conditions of Women in Prasar Bharati ? was tabled in Lok Sabha by the Committee on Empowerment of Women yesterday.
The committee noted that though it is comparatively satisfied with the representation of women in higher posts in both AIR and Doordarshan, they are “quite unhappy” to see their dwindling numbers in lower categories.
“The committee believes there is a strong connection between women in media and the issue empowerment of women.
Moreover, it is an accepted fact that women are better communicators than men,” the report said.
