New Delhi (02.04.2026): The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B), in a fresh proposal, has scaled down the number of posts to 10 as the earlier proposal by the I&B ministry to post Indian Information Service (IIS) officers at 40 Indian missions abroad has not found favour with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). 
The I&B ministry had sent a proposal to the MEA for creation of a new global outreach unit within the Press Information Bureau (PIB), starting with 40 cadre posts for IIS officers in foreign missions to handle media and communications, with the aim to project India’s growth story and counter adverse narratives.
The MEA reportedly returned the proposal citing technical issues including lack of language expertise and overlap on certain key areas that diplomates are already tasked with.
