Information & Broadcasting Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Thursday launched four online portals of the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI), New Media Wing, and the Digital Addressable System (DAS) of the Ministry.
The Minister said the initiative was aimed at ensuring ease of doing business by fostering a more conducive business environment for newspaper publishers and TV channels, enhance transparency and efficiency in government communication, provide easy access to authentic government videos, and create a comprehensive database of Local Cable Operators (LCOs) for streamline regulatory processes in the sector in future.
He said the ‘Press Sewa Portal’ was a step towards complete automation and simplification of the process for newspaper registration and other related processes. The portal will enable online filing of applications for title registration, using Aadhaar-based e-signatures; real-time tracking of application status, etc.
