Prasar Bharati (abbreviated as PB; Hindi: प्रसार भारती, romanized: Prasār Bhāratī, lit. 'Indian broadcaster') is an Indian state-owned public broadcaster, headquartered in New Delhi, India. It is a statutory autonomous body set up by an Act of Parliament and comprises the Doordarshan television broadcasting and Akashvani (formerly, All India Radio or AIR), which were earlier media units of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The Parliament of India passed the Prasar Bharati Act to grant this autonomy in 1990, but it was not enacted until 15 September 1997.[1][2]
Navneet Kumar Sehgal, a retired bureaucrat, was appointed as the new Chairman of Prasar Bharati on 16 March 2024 as A. Surya Prakash finished his second term in February 2020.[3] Prakash had succeeded Mrinal Pande.[4] Gaurav Dwivedi is the CEO of Prasar Bharati (he succeeded Shashi Shekhar Vempati who was the CEO until June 2022).
The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2021 said that DD News and All India Radio are the most trusted news brands in India.[5]
