Advancing the Honorable Prime Minister's vision for 'Ease of Doing Business' and 'Ease of Living,' we're proud to introduce the draft Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill.

This pivotal legislation modernizes our broadcasting sector's regulatory framework, replacing outdated Acts, Rules, and Guidelines with a unified, future-focused approach.

It adapts to the dynamic world of OTT, Digital Media, DTH, IPTV, and more, promoting technological advancement and service evolution.

Key innovations include the establishment of 'Content Evaluation Committees' for robust self-regulation and the transformation of the Inter-Departmental Committee into a broader 'Broadcast Advisory Council,' fostering inclusive decision-making.

In line with our commitment to inclusivity, the bill specifically caters to the Divyangjan community with comprehensive accessibility guidelines.

Your feedback is invaluable. I invite all stakeholders to contribute their insights and help shape this landmark bill, a significant step towards a more efficient, inclusive, and forward-thinking broadcasting ecosystem.
