COVER STORY
corruption vinod kapoor
The conspicuous downslide and
the manner in which Prasar Bharati has lost its moorings and relevance through
wrong selection of CEOs and other deputationists is cause for concern
It was a momentous occasion when P Upendra,
the then Minister for Information & Broadcasting in the National Front
government, reeled out assurances to Parliament on formation of a Corporation
that would usher the promised autonomy in Doordarshan (DD) and All India Radio
(AIR). Over 3,000 staffers collected from all over the country walked to
the Prime Minister’s residence. That forced the government to manumit the
Public Service Broadcast, which was an event of the time. The professionals,
along with many sympathisers, rejoiced over the perceived functional freedom,
with a strong section of the bureaucracy gaping with disbelief and sneer at an
exciting piece of cake snatched from right under their nose.
