I have been lucky enough to meet a serving PRO in Ministry of Food,Livestock and agriculture. His previous posting have been with PRO to Ministry of Religious affairs, PRO in PM House and 3rd one is the current one.

As per him the job of the PRO is a very verstile one. The burden of work varies from ministries to ministries. The PROs of Interior,Foreign,Commerce.Housing,Water & Power,Trade Commerce,education,privatization,shipping and cabinet Division have a very heavy load of work. These PROs have to be mobile most of the time.

As fas as field work is concerned , just imagine yourself to be appointed in PM house and travelling with PM around the country and out of the country.One doesnt even have time to scratch one's head. so it has both the office work and the field work. The best thing being a PRO is the CONTACTS developed while serving in the ministry.
