DIRECTORATE OF FIELD PUBLICITY

In pursuance of the mandate of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Directorate of Field Publicity undertakes field Programmes to generate awareness among the people about government’s policies/programmes/schemes. Effective implementation of government’s developmental and welfare initiatives hinges on awareness among the intended beneficiaries about their entitlements under various programmes/schemes. DFP accordingly seeks to create informed sections of the people to enable their voluntary and enthusiastic participation in implementation of such programmes/schemes. DFP’s awareness generation efforts are based on ‘inter-personal communication’. DFP functions through interactive sessions with local opinion leaders and targeted beneficiaries, group discussions, door to door visits, public meetings, etc. These efforts are complemented by use of traditional and folk media and other conventional and non-conventional methods. In this process, DFP gets support from other central and state departments/agencies. DFP’s field functionaries also collect feedback on implementation of government’s programmes/schemes for the benefit of implementing agencies.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MASS COMMUNICATION

The Government of India established the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) in the year 1965. The Institute was registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act (XXI) of 1860 on 18.8.1966.

The main objectives of IIMC are to organise teaching, training and research in the use and development of the media and mass communication, with reference to the requirements of socio-economic growth in the country. The Institute is financed by the Govt.of India, through the Ministry of I & B, in the form of net annual grant-in-aid.

3 Executive Summary

The post-graduate diploma courses of IIMC are open for the general public and candidates are selected through written test/interviews. In addition, the Institute conducts two courses in Development Journalism in each academic year for working journalists and information officers from developing countries, in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs. Foundation/ orientation/ in-service training programme for Officers of the Indian Information Service (IIS), both Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’, are also conducted. A number of other short-term courses are also arranged for officers of different Departments/Organizations of the Government of India, State Govts., PSUs and international organizations. The Institute conducts research projects on various mass media related issues. Most of these studies are sponsored. It also publishes books and other publicatons on Journalism/Mass Communication, from time to time.

It is felt that the primary requirement in the present situation would be to up-grade the Institute to an Institution of national importance through an Act of Parliament, empowering it, interalia, to grant degrees, especially at Masters and Doctoral level. Strengthening of the Department of Communication Research would also be an imperative need in the up-gradation of the present IIMC to the level of an Institute of national importance. Advanced courses and Doctoral programmes can be commenced thereafter.

Plan Activities: Keeping in view the above aspects, Ministry of I & B approved the Plan Scheme “Upgradation of IIMC to International Standards” in the 11th Five Year Plan for a total outlay of ` 62.00 crores with budget support of ` 51.50 crores. The Plan Scheme also includes the opening of 4 new Centres in the States of J & K, Mizoram, Maharashtra (Vidarbha) and Kerala. This is a continuing Scheme in 12th FYP with Govt. Budget support of ` 43 crores. A new Plan Scheme “Opening of New Regional Centres of IIMC” has been approved in the 12th Five Year Plan, with a total Plan outlay of ` 94.20 crores and a net budgetary support of ` 90.00 crores for the purpose of providing for the construction of permanent campuses for the 4 new regional centres of the Institute that have been opened, on land made available/ to be made available in the respective States free of cost.

Construction of Permanent Campus at Aizawl & Kottayam has already commenced on the land provided by respective State Gov- ernments during 2015-16 and likely to be completed by beginning of 2017. Land for the other two new Regional Centres of Jammu and Amravati has been allotted by the respective State Governments and efforts are on to take the possession at an early date.

PHOTO DIVISION

Photo Division, a media unit is responsible for visual documentation and preparing photographs for internal and external publicity on behalf of the Government of India. Photo Division records photographically different aspects of development in the country and historical

4 Executive Summary events thereby providing a complete photographic documentation for the country. It promotes young talents through photo contest and workshops. The Division also supplies photographs on payment basis to the non-publicity organisations and general public. To keep pace with the trends in photographic industry a Plan Scheme ‘National Centre of Photography and Special Drive for North Eastern States’ has been taken up for implementation during 12th Five Year Plan for providing better services, quality and to meet the present demands of users/clients and as a part of special emphasis for the development of North-East area.

PRESS COUNCIL OF INDIA

The Press Council of India is the repository of the trust of the people of the country, qua, the Parliament in preserving the freedom of the press and guiding it to high ethical standards. Entrusted with quasi-judicial as well as advisory authority, 2016 has been a defining year for the Council in this quest. Completing its first year under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad, the Council in its twelfth term assumed a proactive and quick response role on any threat to press freedom, as also restraining it from over-stepping the boundaries of such freedom.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The blank editorial columns of three Nagaland newspapers on 16.11.2015, the National Press Day (NPD), in the wake of a notice by the Assam Rifles for publication of terrorists’ handouts, prompted the Press Council to immediately take cognizance of the issue to underscore the need for balance between national interest and press freedom. In a proactive action, it held a special session of the Council at Guwahati, where representatives of Assam Rifles, the concerned newspapers, and the Nagaland Government were brought together on a common platform. To the satisfaction of the Council, following deliberations and discussions, the Assam Rifles and the newspapers arrived at a joint understanding, balancing the national interest with the freedom of the press. The Council now proposes to hold wider consultation to evolve guidelines on reporting in conflict situations with special reference to North-East. Similarly, on the issue of safety of journalists, the Council has made wide-ranging proposals that require action on part of the authorities as well as the newspapers, and the Council is hopeful of creation of a safe environment for the journalists. Mention may also be made of the action following circulars issued by the Delhi /Maharashtra government that tended to restrict the freedom of the press and the quick remedial steps respective government took. The Advertisement Committee of the Council which, after studying the Central as well as State policies, is now per- sonally visiting these states to bring the authorities and the newspapers’ stakeholders together for transparent and effective discussions. Another issue that attracted the concern of the Council was the ranking accorded to India in the World Press Freedom Index 2014 by Paris based ‘Reporters Without Boarders’. At 140th position out of 180 nations, the index appeared to have been calculated primarily based on

5 Executive Summary a questionnaire responded to by partner organizations. Mandated to ensure that the media functions with absolute freedom, without any impediment, the RWB was addressed in September 2015 to share the inputs that weighed in the ranking accorded so that remedial steps, if needed, could be taken. It is necessary to place on record that despite reminders including one communication of 18.1.2016 sent by the Chairman, Press Council, the RWB has chosen to maintain a silence in the matter. The Council awaits a bona fide response to avoid a conclusion that ranking was based on perception and was not supported by any verifiable data.

QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCESS

As an adjudicatory authority, whose decisions are final the Council has taken positive measure to quicken the pace of justice with longer hearing schedules and enumerating listing of more number of cases. During the past ten months, it received 751 cases and dis- posed of 942 through adjudications or summary disposal at the Chairman’s level, under report to the Council. In the course of this, it has formulated principles which will constitute qualitative addition to the case law being built up under Section 13(2)(b) of the Press Council Act, 1978. Apart from the cases lodged with it by the litigants, it was quick to take suo motu cognizance of issues that tended, in any manner to restrict the freedom of the journalists.

ADVISORY JURISDICTION:

In its advisory capacity, the Council considered, inter alia, matters relating to (1) IRDA reference on an application for shareholding in an insurance entity by a media entity, (2) National policy on Drug Demand Reduction 2015, (3) Privacy violation, media trial and abusive news reporting by online news platforms, (4) steps for safety of women journalists and protecting their workplace rights and interests, (5) programmes for consumer protection, qua, misleading advertisements, (6) UNESCO deliberations on promoting and enabling environment for freedom of expression, press freedom and journalists’ safety, facilitating pluralism, and participation in media and supporting sustainable and independent media institutions through guidelines on reporting on terrorism issues and terrorists’ attacks. The Council also gave expert evidence before the Standing Committee on Information & Technology on ethics of reporting.

Bearing in mind the increasing perception of threats to journalists in print as well as electronic media, the Council, in a far-reaching decision, resolved that threats and attacks on journalists, fatal or otherwise, be taken cognizance of and examined under the Council’s mandate to protect the freedom of the press that flows from freedom of expression, irrespective of the platform or forum of journalists. The Council is thereby keeping under review instances relating to the above, affecting print as well as electronic media, in its various forms. In further pursuance thereto, through suo motu cognizance, reports of several State Governments were sought, inter alia, from the States of U.P., West Bengal, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Manipur. Many have reached a finality, while

6 Executive Summary some are under process, and the conclusions and recommendations emanating from these decisions/reports have been made available to the concerned authorities for action in pursuance at their end, and the Council is confident that it will receive the cooperation of the authorities in the interest of the State and its commitment to strengthen the freedom of the press.

AWARENESS AND AWAKENING:

While the Council in order to create awareness on the rights & responsibilities of the journalism is holding various seminars/ workshops and studies in different parts of the country. It also recognizes the efforts and excellence of individual journalists through national awards conferred on them on the National Press Day. In 2015 its conferment at the hands of the Hon’ble President of India is a significant indication of the importance of the press in the matters of the country. In the international arena, the Council has proposed, in consultation with the Government of India, the establishment of an alliance of SAARC countries, and is hopeful of a positive outcome. The visit of the Bangladesh Press Council delegation led by its Chairman on the occasion of the National Press Day 2015 was a step in this direction and the interaction on wide areas of issues impacting press functioning as well as the independence and impact of the two regulatory authorities was very fruitful and of mutual benefit.

It is essential also to highlight a few impediments in the effective discharge of the mandate of the Council, most striking of which is the absence of power to ensure implementation and directions & directives of the Council. Proposals in this regard have been under the consideration of the Government of India for the last 15 years despite clear support of the judiciary as well as the legislature. The Council hopes that it will soon be effectively empowered to protect and promote press freedom and ethics, in pursuance of trust reposed in it by the Parliament. Further, to maintain the dignity of office held by the esteemed members of the Press Council as peers of their profession, it is essential that the allowance extended to them be commensurate with their expertise extended during the deliberations of the Council. Enhancement of the rates of fee levied on newspapers under the provisions of the Press Council Act is also essential in the interest of functional and financial autonomy of the Council. Proposals in regard to the above, pending with the Government, require timely execution for effective discharge of the Council’s role as a watchdog for the Press. Mention is also essential here of the handicap of running the Secretariat of the Council from a government building housing the sub-units of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting instead of functioning from an independent establishment. Despite the functional and financial autonomy ensured for the Press Council by the Parliament, this often creates a public perception of the Council being an arm of the government. It is, therefore, essential that the bottlenecks in the construction of the Press Council building on the plot allotted and paid for in the year 2000, be removed on priority basis so that the independent functioning of the Press Council is clearly visible to the public eye.

7 Executive Summary

21 Executive Summary

(E) Setting up a Film Facilitation Office (FFO) Shooting of a film in a country usually results in multiple benefits to that country as pre-production and post-production work also tends to take place in the country for shooting. The employment opportunities and revenue from hospitality business shows significant increase whenever blockbuster is shot in a particular location / country. Recurring benefits can be derived from such shoots by way of film related tourism.

India, with its rich and diverse culture, has a lot to offer to the global audience and Indian locales are top in the radar of the global film community. Diverse work force of the Indian film industry offers highly competitive film production solution to the prospective international film producer desirous of shooting in India.

There are, however, major challenges for foreign film makers to turn towards India such as multiple agencies to be approached for clearance, difficult documentations for approvals, need to approach through a line producer and lack of clear cut guidelines relating to obtaining various permissions especially relating to security, environment etc.There is a need for a simplified/unified mechanism involving all stake holders in the country which will make the process of applying for and getting the requisite permissions for film shooting in India more user friendly. Also, there is a need for upgrading and standardizing skills in the film sector.As part of the measures towards achieving the above mentioned objective, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has accorded approval to set up a Film Facilitation Office which will be operated by National Film Development Corporation.

MAIN SECRETARIAT’S BROADCASTING WING SCHEMES A) Supporting Community Radio Movement

Communication is central to the success of development and democracy. Community Radio (CR) is a crucial communication tool, particularly in communities where most people can neither read nor write. It is also an extraordinary and invisible medium to give voice to the voiceless.

27 Executive Summary

Ministry has tapped the hidden potential of CR as an ideal tool for bringing positive social change and community empowerment. CR stations are essentially low power radio stations, meant to be set up and operated by local communities. A CR station is rooted in the local community, which gives it a distinct advantage to focus on development goals for health, nutrition, education etc.

In the last four years a paradigm shift has been brought about in the approach of the Ministry towards CR stations. The approach is now that of a facilitator rather than that of a mere licensor/regulator. This important shift has catalyzed the growth of CR in India leading to 188 CR stations operating in various parts of India. With more than 320 stations in the pipeline, the stage is set for a silent revolution.

Initiatives like simplification of the application methodology, improved transparency in processing of applications, quickening the pace of approvals, enhanced awareness, introduction of Plan Scheme for financial support CRS, enhanced synergy between stakeholders and involvement of government ministries in CR broadcast have laid a solid foundation for a meaningful growth of CR in India.

B) Automation of Broadcasting Wing

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is mandated to issue permissions for Uplinking / Downlinking of Television channels in India as per the Policy Guidelines approved in the year 2011 and also grant of Multi System Operators (MSO) permissions, DTH license, HITS license, permissions to CRS and IPTV servicesthrough a single window clearance to applicants as all necessary clearances for applicants are obtained by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting before permissions are issued to the applicants.

This Ministry grants permission to Private Satellite TV channels under Uplinking and Downlinking guidelines. With the growth in the Media and Entertainment sector, the demand for Uplinking / Downlinking of TV channels from India increased manifoldwhich necessitated the framing of Policy Guidelines for Uplinking in 2002 and Downlinking in 2005 and these were subsequently amended in December 2011 .

During the 12th Plan, it is proposed to automate various sections of broadcasting wing, namely, TV (I) Section, BP&L Section and CRS Section, for grant of permission / registration to various broadcasting services. The project involves development, testing and deployment of an integrated online portal solution.

This is a new Plan Scheme namely “Automation of Broadcasting Wing” under Plan Revenue. The project is envisaged to be executed by BECIL which will include the entire cost of system integration, manpower and post implementation support.Objective of the scheme

28 Executive Summary is to establish a computerized, web-based system for the speedy processing of applications of various broadcasting licenses / permissions. The application software will have inter-face with other concerned ministries.

The proposed secure online portal will streamline the process of application by agencies concerned and enable both the officials and the applicants to monitor the status of their applications. It will enable expeditious disposal of the applications while facilitating transparency with regard to status of applications.

C) Mission Digitization

Government of India embarked on an ambitious plan to digitize the cable TV network in the country in four Phases leading to complete switch off of the analog cable TV services by 31st December 2016. First 2 Phases of Cable TV Digitization were completed successfully in 42 cities, except Chennai (Phase I) and Coimbatore (Phase II). Over 30 million Set Top Boxes (STBs) were installed in first two Phases. Phase III covering all the remaining urban areas (not covered in Phase I and Phase II) was targeted for completion by 31st December 2015 and Phase IV, to cover the Rest of India is to be completed by 31st December 2016.

For implementation of Phase III, Ministry had constituted a Task Force which was meeting every month. Public awareness campaigns were launched in print and electronic media. A multilingual toll free number (1800 180 4343) was launched to facilitate queries by all stakeholders including consumers. Since involvement of State Governments was crucial for the implementation of digitisation, State and District level Nodal Officers were got nominated and 11 orientation workshops were held at regional level. 12 Regional Units were established for coordination. A Management Information System (MIS) was developed wherein MSOs, DTH, and HITS operators entered the details of areawise seeding of STBs at least once a week. 642 MSOs had been issued registration till 31.12.2015. Regular monitoring of progress was made and as per MIS about 75% overall seeding had taken place by 31.12.2015. However, on 30.12.2015 on the writ petition filed by a MSO association, Hon’ble High Court of AP & Telangana at Hyderabad granted two months extension. On the same analogy, Hon’ble Bombay HC while hearing a WP filed by one M/s NashikZilla Cable Operators Association, passed following order on 04.01.2016. “Since the Andhra Pradesh High Court and Sikkim High Court have passed an order of status quo in view of the observations made by the Apex Court in the case Kusum Ingots & Alloys Ltd. Vs. Union of India [(2004) 6 Supreme Court Cases 254] and more particularly, paragraph 22 of the said order, the question of grant of interim order does not arise in this case”. In the similar matter, cases have also been filed by some stakeholders in other High Courts viz Odisha, Assam, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Al- lahabad and Karnataka in which some of the Courts have also stayed the operation of Gazette Notification dated 11.9.2014 whereby the cut-off date of Phase-III digitization was re-fixed as 31.12.2015. Ministry is defending these cases and trying to get the stay vacated. Also,

29 Executive Summary

It was estimated that about 40 million STBs are required during phase III. As per data provided by MSOs, DTH & HITS operators, over 35 million STBs had been installed in Phase III areas by 1st Feb 2016 thereby achievement of about 87%.The Association of domestic Set Top Boxes manufacturer had informed the Ministry that the domestic manufacturers of STBs have sufficient installed capacity to meet the demand of Cable TV digitization and they can even scale it up further if required. The association had requested for creation of level playing field for the domestic STB manufacturers. In this connection Government resolved the C Form issue by declaring STBs as part of telecommunication network equipment. The issue of long term financing is under consideration. An indigenous Conditional Access System (CAS) has been developed which will give further impetus to the domestic STB manufacturers to produce and supply the indigenously manufactured set top boxes thereby achieving the goal of ‘Make in India’ and creating employment opportunities.

Cable TV Digitization is not only providing choice of channels and advanced high quality service to the cable subscribers but is also enabling other value added services, electronic programme guide, computer bills and elaborate grievance redressal mechanism with toll free helpline. From the data received from the State Governments it is observed that the reported number of TV connections in Phase I & II areas have increased 2 to 3 times thereby increase in the Entertainment Tax collection.

62 Chapter — I Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement

(b) digitization of 1050 feature films and 1200 short films; (c) striking of inter-negatives of 1050 feature films and 960 short films for archiving purposes; (d) construction of vaults of international standards for preservation of such restored material; (e) conduct of training programmes in the fields of restoration and preservation.

D) Setting up of National Centre of Excellence for Animation, Gaming and VFX (NCoE) Rapid technological development has pushed growth in the fields of animation, gaming and special visual effects. 2D cell animation and 3D animation techniques are used to develop animation contents in television programs, movies and video games involving extensive use of animation software programs. 3D motion capture animation techniques are used in low resolution game, internet characters, special effects, etc. Similarly, the gaming industry depends upon latest gaming software for game design, platform design and play characteris- tics. The Indian gaming industry is expected to capture opportunities in the mobile and online gaming segments. Animation, gaming and visual effects industry is both technology and technical/professional manpower intensive. The Indian industry is already facing a paradox. While India’s share in these industries is currently small, it has a tremendous potential because of global demand and the comparative advantage of India in having a huge pool of IT professionals.

Visual Effects is a highly skilled activity and increasingly manifest in the audio-visual industry. This skill development would be analogous to animation and gaming and has tremendous revenue potential.

However, the rapidly increasing animation, gaming and visual effects industry is already facing manpower shortage of trained professionals. The projected growth of the industry is executed to increase the demand gap for skilled manpower exponentially. It is, therefore, imperative that India ensures enhancement of trained personnel for the animation, gaming and visual effect sector. In order to achieve the goal, an HR Plan for the sector would be required so that trained personnel increase rapidly. Thus, the need to establish a clear co-relation between the school curriculum and animation training in higher education. With the above objective, it has been envisaged that a specialized training and consultancy institute for the animation, gaming and visual effect sector be set up in public/private partnership to lay down and implement bench marks in terms of standards teaching and training in these sectors and provide leadership role to the whole sector.

It is proposed to set up the Institute under Public-Private Partnership Model. Setting up of National Centre of Excellence in An- imation, Gaming and Visual Effects (NCoE) is a 12th Plan Scheme. Media & Entertainment Skills Council (MESC) which is working

63 Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement Chapter — I towards addressing the skill gap requirements in entertainment and media industry is assisting the Government towards realizing the project.MESC has worked out a Detailed Project Report (DPR).

(E) Setting up a Film Facilitation Office FFO( )

As part of the measures towards facilitating film shooting by international film makers in India, this Ministry has accorded approval for setting up of a Film Facilitation Office. Broadly the functions of the Office would include the following:- a) Act as a facilitation point for the film producers in assisting them to procure requisite permission. b) Disseminate information on shooting locations and the facilities available with the Indian film industry for production/post production. c) Work closely with State Governments in assisting them to set up similar facilities. d) In the long term, work also closely with other Ministries such as Ministry of External Affairs towards devising a standard operating procedure for issuing of visa in connection with shooting in India with Ministry of Culture (ASI) for framing guidelines which are more sensitive for the needs of filmmakers and with Ministry of Tourism promoting various shooting venues as a sub brand of “Incredible India”. e) Creation of web portal for this purpose.

The FFO would be set up with the support of NFDC. The offices would be located in the premises of NFDC at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.

BROADCASTING SECTOR ELECTRONIC MEDIA MONITORING CENTRE

66 Chapter — I Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement

On the Engineering side, there is focussed attention on increasing FM coverage in the country, which currently is 45% by population. FM, besides offering high quality stereophonic sound, can also be received on mobile phones numbering 800 m+. This offers huge advantage in outreach. 100 nos. of 100 W transmitters are proposed to be upgraded to 1 KW, in addition, AIR is contemplating new high power FM transmitters. Digital MW (DRM) transmitters being established offer 2 or 3 Radio Channels. Thrust would be on its popu- larization through development of suitable, affordable receivers. Other major programmes are to digitize existing studios and network, setting up of FM transmitters in Border areas of J & K, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand adjoining Indo-Pak border and Indo-Nepal Broader. Digitizing archival material is now a top priority of AIR.

Government of India had allocated ` 2252 crore to All India Radio during 12th Plan:- ` 1232 crore for the schemes of 11th Plan being continued in 12th Plan and ` 1020 crore for the New Schemes to be introduced in XII plan. This scheme of AIR “Broadcasting Infrastructure Network Development “ has been approved by CCEA with the outlay of ` 1213.86 Cr under continuing scheme and ` 393.00 crore under New Scheme in XII plan.

Vision Statement for DD

It has now been established that ‘DD Free Dish’ DTH platform has made deep inroads into rural areas. Doordarshan shall enhance its bouquet from current 64 TV Channels to 250 channels in XII plan.

Doordarshan has 11 regional channels, which relay limited programmes for 4 to 6 hours daily on Terrestrial Network. By not being 24 x 7 channels, these are not carried by Cable & Satellite (DTH) networks. Doordarshan intends to convert these channels, including Hill and Tribal stations like Jammu, Leh, Ranchi etc. into 24 x 7 channel and put these on DD Free Dish and on Cable networks.

Doordarshan has embarked upon digitizing its terrestrial transmission and would switch off its analogue transmission in due course. Digital transmitters are multi channel and would provide rich content including Regional content in local languages. Even private content is being contemplated for enrichment and as a source of revenue. Digital transmission also enables reception on mobile hand-held devices.

Doordarshan has a vision to completely digitize its studios for programme production in HD and SD format, which is a norm worldwide.

Doordarshan is a rich storehouse and national resource for archival material. It is expediting its processes for complete digitization of its archival material, tagged with metadata, have an on line system for retrieval and access for quick reference and usage.

67 Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement Chapter — I

Government of India allocated a total budget of ` 2119.14 crore to Doordarshan viz. ` 2013.14 crore for Creation of Capital Assets and ` 106 crore for Content Development & Dissemination for the 12th Five Year Plan.

MAIN SECRETARIAT’S BROADCASTING WING SCHEMES

A) Supporting Community Radio Movement in India

Ministry of Information and Broadcasting grants permission to set up Community Radio Stations. Government introduced the policy guidelines for permitting community radio stations in the year 2002, which were revised in the year 2006. Earlier Guidelines allowed only Educational Institutions to operate Community Radio Stations. New Guidelines broadened the eligibility criteria and allowed community based organizations including civil societies and voluntary organizations, State Agriculture Universities (SAUs), ICAR Institutions, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Registered Societies/Autonomous Bodies/Public Trusts registered under the Societies Act to operate Community Radio Stations subject to fulfillment of the eligibility conditions.

Ministry is also popularizing the community radio scheme through awareness workshops so that more and more grass root organizations are encouraged to set up CR stations. Under 11th Plan Scheme “IEC Activities for Community Radio”, Ministry organized 37 awareness/capacity building workshop. In the 12th five year plan, a new scheme namely Supporting Community Radio Movement in India has been introduced. In addition to IEC Activities, the new scheme will also provide financial assistance to new and existing CRS for equipment acquisition & training etc. The scheme will also support innovations in the CR sector. In the first 4 years of the 12th plan scheme, 34 awareness workshops have been orgnaised. Also, applications have been invited from CR stations/permission holders for financial assistance.

B) Automation of Broadcasting Wing

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting grants permissions to Pvt. Satellite TV Channels. The applications for new TV channels are examined in the light of the eligibility criteria as prescribed in the Policy Guidelines for Uplinking and Downlinking. The applications are forwarded to the Ministry of Home Affairs for obtaining security clearance for the Company and its Broad of Directors. The applications

68 Chapter — I Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement are simultaneously sent to the Department of Space/Department of Revenue as the case may be for obtaining necessary clearances. The Net worth of the company is also examined to determine the eligibility of the company among other eligibility criteria. Permissions are issued by the Ministry to the applicants after obtaining Inter-Ministerial clearances and Registration and Permission Fee as applicable.

Ministry has permitted more than 860 TV channels so far. There are about 250 applications at various stages of processing. To add to this a large number of requests are received by the INSAT section for change of name, logo, appointment of directors, change in the Share Holding Pattern, temporary Uplinking applications and hiring of SNG/DSNG vans. The section has also to deal with FIPB cases, Forex remittance clearances, parliamentary questions, RTI petitions and VIP references. There are other ongoing activities like renewal of permissions for channels and issue of show cause notices etc. for violations of terms and conditions of Uplinking and Downlinking. All this involves large volume of paper trails and follow ups with Ministries and applicants. In order to streamline the process of application by agencies concerned and to enable both the Dept. officials and the applicants to monitor the status of their applications, it is proposed to develop a secure online portal that will enable the expeditious disposal of the applications while facilitating transparency with regard to status of applications in so far as applicants are concerned.

C) Mission Digitisation

Digitization of the Cable TV sector in the country is one of the thrust areas of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting during the 12th Five Year Plan. Cable TV is the backbone of TV distribution in the country. The cable TV networks in the country are predomi- nately analog in nature. As per data provided by FICCI-KPMG 2014, there are around 88 million Cable TV homes in the country, majority of which receive TV signals in analog mode. Analog Cable TV distribution has number of problems/ maladies, capacity constraints and issues relating to choice of channels and quality of signals.

To address the drawbacks in the existing analog TV distribution system ministry is implementing digitization with addressability in Cable TV sector in a phased time bound manner leading to complete switch off of all analog services by 31st December, 2016. In first phase 3 metro cities i.e. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata have already become digital. In Chennai the matter is sub-judice. Second phase in which 38 cities (with a population of greater than one million) had to be digitalized by 31st March, 2013 has also been completed. Phase III which covers all the remaining urban areas (not covered in Phase I and Phase II) was targeted for completion by 31st December, 2015 and Phase IV, which cover the Rest of India is to be completed by 31st December, 2016. Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has been mandated for timely and effective implementation of the digitization roadmap.

69 Mandate, Goals and Objectives, Policy Framework and Policy Statement Chapter — I

Consequent to the amendment of Cable TV Act in December, 2011, Ministry has already issued Rules in this regard. TRAI has also notified tariff and interconnection regulations to enable all stakeholders to take further necessary steps for the implementation of the digitization. The digitization mainly involves installation of digital head-end setup and feeding of digital encrypted signals by MSOs, upgradation of the distribution networks by LCOs and seeding of the Set Top Boxes in consumer premises to enable them to watch digital cableTV signals. The major task in this regard is the seeding of around 88 million cable Set Top Boxes in consumer premises for subscribers all over the country. The procurement and seeding of STBs is carried out by MSOs through the Local Cable Operators (LCOs), in respective areas. It is estimated that there are around 6000 MSOs and 60,000 LCOs in the country. The MSOs have to individually procure requisite number of STBs and deploy these at each subscriber’s premises and activate them before scheduled date of migration to digital. These MSOs are required to plan in advance their procurement schedule and weekly STB seeding targets so that the digitization work can be completed in a planned manner by scheduled date. The entire project would have to be done in a mission mode requiring special attention and requisite manpower. Ministry does not have requisite manpower to undertake this massive exercise. The project involves meticulous collection of data and analysis to keep a watch over the deadline. The project requires extensive field visits by the teams to assess ground realities. Phase I was spread over 4 cities and Phase II over 38 cities. These two phases could be managed by the available staff of Ministry, BECIL &PrasarBharati but Phase III covers more than 3000 urban areas and Phase IV involves hundreds of towns & villages. These two phases cannot be managed by the existing arrangement. As it was not possible to complete the remaining phases with the existing arrangement, the scheme “Mission Digitisation” under Plan was mooted and approved by the competent authority. The plan scheme is to be executed through Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited (BECIL), a PSE of the Ministry of I& B on nomination basis. This involves setting up of 12 Re- gional Units, a multi-lingual website and a multi-lingual toll free helpline. The objective of the project has been to put into place a mechanism which would help in effective monitoring of the seeding of STBs and other related activities to ensure timely implementation of the targets set by the Government for cable TV Digitization.

REGISTRAR OF NEWSPAPERS FOR INDIA

Over the years, print media has enlarged its horizon to a great extent beyond the ambit of the Press and Registration of Book Act, 1867. Accordingly, the PRB Act, 1867 and the Rules made there under have been reviewed with a view to making the Act relevant in the present scenario of the print media.

The existing PRB Act 1867 is deficient in many respects due absence of clear provisions, particularly on title verification, foreign publications and circulation verification. It also lacks measures to counter problem of squatting. There is also absence of time frame for disposal of title applications and authentication of declaration by district authorities which usually causes avoidable delay. Hence, the

142 Chapter III Reforms, Measures and Policy Initiatives existing Act is suggested to be replaced by the proposed amendments namely, ‘The Press and Registration of Books and Publications (PRBP) Bill’ in order to eliminate the deficiencies. The proposed amendments are in the final stage of legislation.

With a view to providing prompt, efficient and transparent service to the newspapers and ensuring effective implementation of the PRB Act and evolving and enforcing a strict circulation check, two new Regional Offices at Guwahati in North Eastern Region and Bhopal in Central Region are opened during 11th Plan Period 2007-12. During 12th Plan Period 2012-2017, three activities namely (i) digitalisation of records (ii) Online Registration process and (iii) e-filing ofAnnual Statements have been taken up for implementation.

Recent Highlights:

• Online title verification applications – at present applications are sent by post through concerned DM. This procedure is time con- suming. • Online e-filing of Annual Statements to continue. This year this was a total success. • Automatic SMS & e-mail intimations about status of title and registration applications is continuing with full success. This has reduced delays and enhanced transparency. • Online availability and downloading facilities of title verification letter and copies of registration certificates. • 100% hassle free online service to stakeholders.

Circulation Check (additional sub-component proposed under RCE/SFC):

As per recommendations of high level M/o I&B Committee, the Rate Restructure Committee of DAVP advertisements in the RCE, it has been proposed that under the Plan Scheme professional CAs/Auditors be empanelled for their expertise, who may accompany the team comprising of officials of RNI/DAVP, enabling RNI to conduct the job of circulation verification smoothly.

Doordarshan’s DTH service –‘DD Free Dish’

Doordarshan commenced its DTH service from December’2004 with 33 channels. Presently, there are 64 channels on DD Free Dish which includes 22 DD channels, 5 channels of foreign public broadcasters and 35 private channels, allocated through e-auction with varying price ranging from ` 3.80 crore to 7.6crore.

After the roll out of rural BARC ratings the dominance of DD Free Dish was established in rural market enabling PB to achieve carriage fee per channel as high as ` 7.6crore through e-auction.

DD Free Dish has recently migrated from INSAT-4B to GSAT-15 with effect from 1st February 2016. With this migration, the numbers of MPEG-2 channels have increased from 64 to 80. This implies that additional 16 MPEG-2 channels have been added and are available for e-auction. The process for auction of these channels is in progress.

In addition to the above 16 MPEG-2 channels, DD Free Dish will get additional 24 MPEG-4 channels which will be available after implementation of Conditional Access System (CAS) which is being provided by M/s. ByDesign, an entity short-listed by DeitY.After implementation of these 24 MPEG-4 channels, the total capacity of DD Free Dish will increase to 104 channels.

The CAS enabled MPEG-4 streams will also open new opportunities for offering Value Added Services (VAS) such as EPG, home/ default channels, overlay of advertisements on EPG and similar other services. These Value Added Services have the potential to bring additional revenue for Doordarshan.

DD free Dish through e-auction has earned revenue of ` 100.62 Cr, 135.93 Cr and 114.82 Cr in the year 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively. In comparison, the revenue earned up to Dec’2015 has been ` 156.38 Cr. This increase in revenue from DD Free Dish has been mainly due to its increased demand on account of new BARC ratings of rural market.

PRESS COUNCIL OF INDIA Review of Past Performance The objectives of the Press Council and its functions are of quasi judicial nature. It regulates the press with ethical standards. Thus quantifying it with the targets set in terms of physical and the results achieved is not plausible. The only quantifiable activity is the quasi-judicial activity. The debates were organized with the objective to analyse the role the media can play in a democracy by looking it as an agency for people to access information which also plays a crucial role in mobilizing the thinking of millions in various parts of the country throughout the year and as a part of National Press Day celebrations. The National Press Day in 2015 centered around “The Impact and Import of Cartooning and Caricature as a Medium of Expression of Opinion”. A collection of valuable articles and views of eminent leaders on the subject was released through its Souvenir. Most of States/UTs also commemorated the day in a befitting manner. The National Awards in Excellence in Journalism were conferred on this occasion in different categories after due process of selection from nominations across the length and breadth of the country at the hands of the Hon’ble President of India in the presence of the Hon’ble Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting, Col. Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. Exhibitions of the illustrations of the Hon’ble President were also displayed on the occasion. A delegation of Bangladesh Press Council visited India during 15-18 November, 2015 namely Chairman Mr Justice Muhammed Mamtaz Uddin Ahmed, Bangladesh Press Council, and its Members, interacted with Hon’ble Chairman, Mr. Justice C K Prasad on November17, 2015 along with Members of the Press Council of India. The delegation discussed the composition, functioning and powers of the Press Council’s and also its funding procedure. It is also discussed in detail the issues of the paid news, safety of journalists and jurisdiction over electronic media and its functions and contents. The interaction was of mutual benefit and the two sides agreed to take the deliberations in future interactions.

SONG AND DRAMA DIVISION

Folk and traditional media or live media as properly known acquires special significance not only because of linguistic, geo- graphical and cultural affinity and identification but also because it is most effective in the present socio- economic circumstances in rural India. It is indeed a very advantageous situation that our country has vast reservoirs of folk and traditional forms through which required messages, information or awareness can be created in a manner which is instantaneously recognized, received and acted upon by the masses. This is especially with regard to developmental schemes targeted to poverty alleviation and general welfare of the rural masses in sectors such as National Integration and Communal Harmony, Health, Education, Sanitation, Environment etc. Folk and Traditional media therefore would continue to be utilized as an effective and integral component of the overall media strategy specially in rural, un- electrified and inaccessible areas for creating awareness amongst the masses of the various initiatives being taken by the government in the interest of the common man specially the poor. There are nearly 10,000 folk and traditional artistes including Departmental Troupes, Empanelled Artistes and Private Registered Troupes working with the Division on a fairly regular basis. Perhaps Song and Drama Division is one of the model Government organizations which has tremendous flexibility to enhance its areas of operation as well as quantum of activity without increasing non-plan expenditure creating permanent long term liability thereby, only about 8% of the Division’s working strength is on the regular rolls of the Division. In addition it is an undisputed fact that the traditional Media or live Media is the most cost effective medium for IEC activities, given its reach, impact and flexibility. The Division headed by Director functions at three levels viz. (i) Headquarters at Delhi (ii) Ten Regional Centres located at Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Kolkata, Lucknow, Pune and Ranchi (iii) Eight border Centres headed by Asstt. Directors located at Darbhanga, Guwahati, Jammu, Jodhpur, Imphal, Nainital, Dehradun and Shimla (iv) Six Departmental Drama Troupes headed by Managers located at Bhubaneswar, Delhi, Hyderabad, Patna, Pune and Srinagar(Jammu).

MAIN SECRETARIAT’S BROADCASTING WING SCHEMES

A) Supporting Community Radio Movement in India

In the 12th Plan, a new Plan Scheme of ` 100 Crore, “Supporting Community Radio Movement in India”, was introduced to provide financial support to community radio. The Scheme has two components namely Community Radio Support Scheme (CRSS) and IEC Activities for Community Radio. Comprehensive Guidelines were prepared to implement the scheme. A Technical Committee constituted by the Ministry shortlisted equipment essential for operating a CRS and finalized specifications/benchmarks of each shortlisted equipment. This will be the bench- mark for equipment to be purchased by CRS under this scheme. A Programme Management Unit (PMU) was also set up to implement the 12th Plan Scheme. Under IEC Activities, Ministry is giving wide publicity to the Community Radio Scheme by organizing State and Regional workshops with various stakeholders so that more and more community based organizations come forward to set up community radio stations. 63 awareness & capacity building workshops have been organized across the country since the year 2007. Five National Sammelans have also been organized. During the financial year 2015-16, 8 awareness workshops have been scheduled at Vadodara, Jodhpur, Nagpur, Varanasi, Ranchi, Shillong, Tirupati and Amritsar. These consultations and workshops have been successful in addressing issues concerning guidelines, application procedure, content and sustainability issues for CRS. 5th National Community Radio Sammelan 2015 was held from 16th to 18th March 2015 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, in which representatives of about 175 CR stations, concerned Ministries, International organisations and activists participated. National Community Radio Awards were presented during the Sammelan and 5th Edition of CR Compendium was also published. The peer review process was undertaken by the Ministry to promote self-assessment and co-learning among the community radio stations. There were three toolkits designed by different stake holders viz. Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in association with UNESCO Chair on Community Media and UNICEF. In two phases 68 Community Radio Stations participated voluntarily. All stations were oriented to conduct self assessment of their stations using toolkits. One representative from each station visited 2 other CR stations. The end line experience sharing workshop for the first phase was held in New Delhi from 13-15 May, 2014 and the detailed report has been published. For the second phase end line

274 Chapter IV Review of Past Performance workshop was held in December 2014. In the experience sharing workshops all 68 CRS who participated in the process informed that they were able to identify strengths and challenges in their own CRS as well as the ones they visited and drew up plans for self-improvement in the short, mid and long term. Also, informal networks to learn from each other have begun to be set-up. For instance exchange of documentation process, logging software, archiving retrieval systems and exchange of programme ideas have begun. The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) organized 2 Regional Sammelans for Community Radio Stations in the country in the year 2014-15. This decision owes its genesis to a desire expressed by Community Radio Stations at the National Community Radio Sammelan so that regional CRS could better be represented. Regional Sammelans aim to provide a platform to the operational CRS to share their grassroot stories, successes, issues and good practices. During current financial year also, 2 Regional Sammelans for Community Radio Stations were organized. The first Regional Sam- melan of Community Radio stations was organised at Bhopal from 07-09 February, 2016. Community Radio Stations from northern states namely- Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand, Uttar Pradesh, participated in it. The second three-day Regional Community Radio Sammelan was held at Pune from 15-16 February, 2016, supported by MIB and hosted by Community Radio Association (CRA). Community Radio Stations from southern states namely- Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Puducherry, Maharashtra, Assam, West Bengal, Delhi participated in the Sammelan.

B) Automation of Broadcasting Wing The MOU to implement the scheme through BECIL has been finalised and work on other aspects of implementation have also been undertaken by BECIL. C) Mission Digitization

A revised SFC with respect to Scheme “Mission Digitization” was approved on 21st April, 2015 at a total cost of ` 1302.22 Lakhs.MoU was signed by MIB with BECIL for implementing the Plan Project “Mission Digitization” on 17.11.2015. BECIL has completed the following work for implementation of Phase III and IV of digitization: i. 12 Regional Units have been set up and MOU has been signed between MIB and BECIL to implement the scheme “Mission Digi- tization”. ii. Toll free (Multi-lingual) helpline No. 18001804343 has been made operational.

PRESS COUNCIL OF INDIA

Press Council of India is a statutory autonomous body. During deliberations on the ERC Recommendations in the Ministry it was felt that keeping in mind the nature of Press Council of India, which is a self regulatory body of the Press, such a review would neither be appropriate nor is another ‘Peer Body’ available to review it. The above decision was also conveyed to Ministry of Finance while com- municating this Ministry’s response on the ERC’s Report on autonomous institutions of this Ministry.

The performance of the Press Council has been however directly reviewed by the Parliament through its standing committee when Press Council Chairman deposed before it way back in March, 2011. It was also reviewed by the Committee on Paid News which made several important recommendations presently under consideration of the Government of India.
