Ministry of Information and Broadcasting

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is a Government of India ministry responsible for representing the government to the public and supporting communication across the country. Established soon after India’s independence, it works across traditional and modern channels, including radio, television, newspapers, social media, print publications, and outdoor publicity. Its communication activities also draw on cultural forms such as dance, theatre, folk music, and puppet shows.

The ministry provides information and public resources through press releases, reports, policies, guidelines, notices, publications, and online services. Its website features updates on government initiatives, public announcements, tenders, vacancies, budget plans, and broadcast-related rules. It also handles information concerning FM radio auctions, complaints related to private FM and community radio, and the monitoring of broadcast content and technical standards. Through its associated functions and organisations, the ministry supports areas including broadcasting and film certification, and shares news about national film awards and media events. The site offers accessibility tools, content in multiple Indian languages, and links to archives, media units, and social media channels.
