DHARMANAGAR, June 27 (TIWN): Press Information Bureau (PIB) held a one-day workshop at Dharmanagar. The programme was named as ‘Vartalap’ organized by Agartala PIB.
The Press Information Bureau, commonly abbreviated as PIB, is a nodal agency of the Government of India. Based in National Media Centre, New Delhi, Press Information Bureau disseminates information to the print, electronic and new media on government plans, policies, programme initiatives and achievements.
During the progamme the reporters from various media across North Tripura remained present.
The dignitaries said that PIB has 39 regional and branch offices throughout the country and as Delhi is the hub of all political and media activities so the headquarters of the PIB are situated.
Some 1,400 accredited correspondents work out of Delhi, including a number of foreign journalists, TV cameramen and women, photographers and photojournalists.
The regional and branch offices of the PIB cater to the Indian language print media as well as the local Press in English and Hindi to the extent possible. Often there is a healthy competition between the two which is all to the good because the regional Press is thus served better.
It’s to be mentioned here that ‘Photo service’ is yet another special service regularly provided by the Bureau to the media. The PIB has an extensive photo library and it is estimated that some one million photos, some of them of rare historical value, exist in the albums.
These are made available to newspapers throughout the country, by the regional and branch offices and the head office, by the airbag system and through the latest technique of telephoto.
