Correct Answer - Option 4 : Broadcasting Corporation of India
This Act may be called the Prasar Bharati (Broadcasting Corporation of India) Act, 1990. It extends to the whole of India. It shall come into force on such date as the Central Government may, by notification, appoint.
Prasar Bharati:
- Prasar Bharati is India's largest public broadcasting agency.
- It is a statutory autonomous body set up by an Act of Parliament and comprises the Doordarshan Television Network and All India Radio, which were earlier media units of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
- The Parliament of India passed the Prasar Bharati Act to grant this autonomy in 1990, but it was not enacted until 15 September 1997.
- The Prasar Bharti board Chairperson's position remains vacant since Dr. A. Surya Prakash demitted office in February 2020.
Therefore, 'Prasar Bharati' is an autonomous body for public radio and TV broadcasting.
