Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, and Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Singh Thakur on Monday launched the Broadcast Seva Portal, as part of the “ease–of–doing business” initiative for the broadcasting sector.
It is an online portal solution for speedy filing and processing of applications by the broadcasters for various kinds of licences, permissions, registrations and other associated requirements.
Mr. Thakur said the Central government was harnessing technology to bring transparency in the system and make it more accountable. The portal would reduce the turnaround time of applications and help the applicants track the progress made. It would minimise human interface that was earlier required and add to the capacity building of the Ministry.
