NEW DELHI: Seeing the “sad state of affairs in the public broadcaster Prasar Bharati’s functioning”, a Parliamentary Committee has reiterated once again that there is need to review the Prasar Bharati Act 1990 “comprehensively” and “without any further delay”.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee for Information Technology said it has been assured by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry that it is “still in the process of preparing” a separate cabinet note for the amendments suggested by the Group of Ministers to the Act.

The Committee has taken note of the failures in systemic problems, massive under-utilisation of funds, acute shortage of staff etc. and have emphasise that the various provisions of the Prasar Bharati Act 1990 need to be reviewed comprehensively keeping in view the ongoing scenario and new legislations modifications to the existing Act should be brought to Parliament without any further delay.

At the outset, the Standing Committee noted that in various reports earlier, it had consistently been recommending for organisational and financial restructuring of Prasar Bharati.

The Standing Committee has also been expressing ‘serious concern’ over the non-implementation of various provisions of the Act such as constitution of a Parliamentary Committee and the Broadcasting Council as per provisions in the Act.

“In spite of the continuous insistence on implementation of these provisions”, the Ministry has neither constituted a Parliamentary Committee and Broadcasting Council nor these have been deleted from the Act by bringing amendments to the Act.

The Committee was informed that GoM on Prasar Bharati constituted to examine various issues pertaining to Prasar Bharati had made a number of recommendations aimed at bringing about significant increase in the degree of efficiency in the overall operation of Prasar Bharati on one hand and improving governance in Prasar Bharati on the other. It has also undertaken comprehensive review to the Act and suggested certain amendments.

As elaborated by the Secretary during the course of evidence, there is also urgent need to address the issue of relationship between Prasar Bharati and the Government and redefine it in clear-cut terms.

The Committee is separately examining the functioning of the Prasar Bharati organisation and will come out with appropriate recommendations on the subject in due course.

However, “going by the way the organisation is functioning at this juncture” and the views expressed by the Secretary and the CEO Prasar Bharati, the Committee “at this point of time would like to emphasise that comprehensive amendments to the Act are long overdue” and should be brought forward “expeditiously” after wider consultations with all concerned.

Interestingly, the Committee had made a similar recommendation in its examination of the Ministry’s budgetary demands for 2011-12 on 4 August last year and an Action Report on 27 March this year.
