Description

Navneet Kumar Sehgal, a retired bureaucrat, has been selected as the new Prasar Bharati Board chairperson. A Surya Prakash retired in February 2020, at the age of 70, leaving the office empty for four years.

Appointment Process

  • On March 15, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar presided over a meeting to select the head of the country's official broadcaster. The meeting was attended by retired Justice Ranjana Desai, Chairperson of the Press Council of India, and Sanjay Jaju, Information and Broadcasting Secretary.

About Navneet Sehgal

  • Sehgal is a former IAS officer from the Uttar Pradesh cadre, having joined in 1988.

  • He is closely affiliated with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

  • While acting as the UP government's assistant chief secretary of sports and youth, Sehgal was instrumental in organizing the state's global investor summit and hosting MotoGP in Noida last year.

Previous Roles

  • Following the Hathras rape case, Sehgal was appointed to lead the communications department in 2020.

  • In 2022, he was moved to the sports department.

  • He previously served as the information secretary in the Mayawati-led government from 2007 to 2012.

  • During the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, Sehgal was appointed principal secretary in the then-Akhilesh Yadav-led administration, where he also handled the Lucknow-Agra Expressway project.

About Prasar Bharati

  • Prasar Bharati is India's largest public broadcaster.

  • It was founded under the Prasar Bharati Act of 1990, which went into operation in 1997.

  • The agency contains Doordarshan Television Network and All India Radio, which were previously part of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry.

  • On March 13, Prasar Bharati introduced PB-SHABD, a news-sharing service that allows registered companies to receive news feeds from its network of reporters.

The nomination of Navneet Sehgal as the new Prasar Bharati Board Chairman fills a critical gap and is expected to bring fresh leadership to India's national broadcasting organization.
