Towards the end of 1920, the Cell was rechristened as ‘Central Bureau of Information’ and Dr. L. F. Rushbrook Williams became its Director. The designation of the Head of the Bureau was changed from Director to Principal Information Officer in 1938. Shri J.Natarajan became the first Indian in 1941 to be appointed as Principal Information Officer and the Organization’s name was changed to Press Information Bureau in 1946.
