Prasar Bharati (Hindi: प्रसार भारती; literally Broadcasting Corporation of India) is India's largest public broadcaster. It is an autonomous body set up by an Act of Parliament and comprises Doordarshan television network and All India Radio which were earlier media units of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.
Prasar Bharati was established on November 23, 1997 following a demand that the government owned broadcasters in India should be given autonomy like those in many other countries. The Parliament of India passed an Act to grant this autonomy in 1990, but it was not enacted until September 15, 1997.
Mrinal Pandey is the current chairperson of Prasar Bharati and Baljit Singh Lalli is the current CEO.
