Service Conditions and Caveats

• No guaranteed bookings: DDK calls panel members only when programmes need support and you are available. Joining the panel does not promise a fixed number of assignments.
• Booking limits: The ceiling is seven assignments in a month and eighty-four in a year. An assignment can take two to three days, depending on the work.
• Other work: You may continue or take up employment elsewhere, or remain self-employed. The Kendra does not restrict this.
• Accepting an assignment: You may decline an invitation. Once you agree to an assignment, you must complete the accepted work; advance consent is needed.
• One category only: Choose your category carefully. Multiple applications will lead to rejection under the notice.
• No regular-job entitlement: Empanelment gives no right to regular bookings and no advantage or claim to a regular appointment.
• Panel decisions: The selection committee’s decision is final. DDK may reject an application without giving a reason, and canvassing leads to disqualification.

• Edit programmes and promotional videos.
• Record programmes under producer supervision and assist with production lighting.
