NEW DELHI; MALLIKARJUN KHARGE, 13th December, 2018 Chairperson, 22 Agrahayana, 1940 (Saka) Public Accounts Committee (iv) CHAPTER - I R E P O R T This Report of the Public Accounts Committee deals with Action Taken by the Government on the Observations/Recommendations of the Committee contained in their Ninety-fourth Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha) on "Working of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)" and "Academic Activities of Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute (SRFTI), Kolkata for the period from 2010-11 to 2014-15" based on Para Nos. 11.1 and 11.2 respectively of Chapter 11 of the C&AG's Report No. 11 of 2016 relating to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoI&B). 2. The Ninety-fourth Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha), which was presented to Lok Sabha/laid in Rajya Sabha on 28th March, 2018, contained a total of 14 Observations/Recommendations. Observations/Recommendations Nos. 1 to 7 pertained to Para No. 11.1 on "Working of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)" and Observations/Recommendations Nos. 8 to 14 pertained to Para No. 11.2 on "Academic Activities of Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute (SRFTI), Kolkata for the period from 2010-11 to 2014-15". Action Taken Notes in respect of all the Observations/Recommendations have been received from the MoI&B and these have been categorized as under: (i) Observations/Recommendations that have been accepted by the Government: Paragraph Nos. 1, 7, 8, 9,10 and 14 Total: 06 Chapter- II (ii) Observations/Recommendations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of the replies received from the Government: -NIL- Total: 00 Chapter- III (iii) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which replies of the Government have not been accepted by the Committee and which require reiteration: Paragraph Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 13 Total: 05 Chapter- IV (iv) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which the Government have furnished interim replies: Paragraph Nos. 4, 11 and 12 Total: 03 Chapter- V 3. The detailed examination of the two subjects by the Committee had revealed certain shortcomings/deficiencies and the Committee had accordingly given Observations/Recommendations in their Ninety-fourth Report. The Committee had recommended on various issues such certification of films on first come first serve basis, explicit provision for re-certification of a films, creation of a database to mitigate the risk of issuance of duplicate certificates, regular updating of syllabus by SRFTI, grant of recognition by UGC, administrative support for timely completion of courses, setting up of a research department and increasing posts to conduct regular short term courses. 4. The Action Taken Notes furnished by the MoI&B on the Observations/Recommendations of the Committee contained in their Ninety-fourth Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha) have been reproduced in the relevant Chapters of this Report. In the succeeding paragraphs, the Committee have dealt with the Action Taken by the Government on some of their Observations/Recommendations which either need reiteration or merit comments. 5. The Committee desire that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to furnish Action Taken Notes in respect of Observations/Recommendations contained in Chapter-I and final/conclusive Action Taken Replies in respect of the Observations/Recommendations contained in Chapter-V for which interim reply has been given by the Government within six months of the presentation of the Report to the House. I. Recommendation Para No. 2 6. The Committee noted that the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, 1983 prescribe different time limits for various stages of certification process, totaling to 68 days and all the films are required to be certified on “first come first served” basis. The Regional Officers (ROs) have been given the discretionary powers to alter the order of examination of films, if a written request from the applicant is received and the RO concerned feels that there are grounds for an early examination, which are to be recorded in file. However, inspection of 175 records by the audit from 1st April, 2013 revealed that in 57 films (32.57 per cent) which had jumped the queue, letters from the applicant requesting for special consideration/ROs justification accepting the request were not found on records and further note that a clear ‘U/UA’ or clear ‘A’ certification was done for 135 films. Further, in 49 films (36 per cent) despite completion of certification process, time taken for issue of certificates ranged between 3 to 491 days after recommendation for grant of certificate by Examining Committee (EC). The Committee could not find any tenable reason for not issuing the certificate for months together even after clearance by the EC and desired that in light of a case study by Audit relating to fabrication of documents and favoritism by Secretary to Chairperson, detailed inquiry into the cases of inordinate delay may be conducted and the Committee may be apprised of the findings thereof. The Committee were further concerned to note that while this discrepancy could not be detected by the system it came to light when a complaint was received by the Central Vigilance Commission and, thereof, desired that the Ministry may look into the matter and streamline the system by establishing a control mechanism under which the decision involving relaxations made by Committee/ RO were subjected to review by the Board to ensure transparency in the working of CBFC. The Committee further desired to be apprised of the cases pointed out by the Vigilance wing in the Ministry/CBFC during the last 10 years and punitive action taken against those found guilty.

    EDITOR\DIRECTOR The news bits are formed on the happening of events. But analyzing the incidents happening since last one year, we don’t deserve such good news. As in past one year there are several harrowing and sorrowful Scams like CWG, Adarsh Society, 2G Spectrum and expecting many more to come have hampered the faith in our democracy and thrown the populous voters in wilderness. These are clear indication of deteriorating Indian politics and Politicians. In the event of above scams and frequent disruptions in Parliament LARGEST working and that too at the cost of hard earned citizen’s money by our own elected representatives who are competing hard among DEMOCRACY BUT themselves for making bigger scams. It is clear that they don’t feel LOWEST VOTING ashamed off but the Indian voters are ashamed of their choice of representation and repent on their franchise. If Voters feel that the We have opportunity to voting is hoax, then there is nothing wrong. change the scenario But even then the positive message in casting vote is to replace corrupt representatives by honest one to change the corrupt politicians to bring effective leaders and for this their perseverance and vigil hard efforts are seen. It is apparent that the current civil movement by civil society has brought the whole nation under one umbrella, which is an indication for replacement of corrupt political system along with peoples representation in functioning of democratic system. But voters be aware that only slogan will not do, we have to give our opinion by casting our vote diligently….
