Public broadcaster Prasar Bharati social media has made its debut on Twitter today. One can now follow and tweet to Prasar Bharati @PBCSocialMedia. The government seems to be firm on turning the broadcaster into a public broadcaster in the truest sense of the term.

Likely, with an effort to improve interaction with the public one can sent suggestion on the means/ways that people want to interact with Prasar Bharati.

Further a separate website has been launched called the prasarbharaticommittee.in which would provide a platform for the people to interact with the expert committee devoted to the revamping of Prasar Bharti headed by Sam Pitroda.

However incase of someone without no presence in TWITTER can also write in the Facebook page of"Expert Committee on Prasar Bharati."

The Government of India has set up an Expert Committee under the chairpersonship of Mr Sam Pitroda to review the functioning of Prasar Bharati. The committee's terms of reference include sustaining, strengthening and amplification of Prasar Bharati's role as a public broadcaster, with a special reference to its relationship with Government, in the emerging context.

The committee has decided to study all relevant areas related to Prasar Bharati, viz., the Prasar Bharati-Government relationship, technology, business development, finance, HR & organisation, content & programming, archiving, presence on social and other new & emerging media platforms, global initiatives, regulatory mechanism, and comparison with other public service broadcasters.
