Importance being given to improve quality of programmes, he says

Arkalgud Suryaprakash, chairman of the Prasar Bharati, said on Tuesday that the public broadcaster was on the road to autonomy. In fact, the very purpose of passing the Prasar Bharti Bill in 1990 was to make it an independent entity.

Participating in an interactive session with presspersons here, Dr. Suryaprakash said he was giving importance to bring in professionalism and improve the quality of programmes. "A day will come when our news channels will not hesitate to criticise government programmes. We require some more time to do it," he said in response to a question on the national news channels keeping silent on issues such as misuse of funds meant for the implementation of various government schemes.
