To substantiate this point, the Prasar Bharati CEO also shared a recent Reuters Institute report, which states that DD and AIR are able to maintain their viewership and listenership due to their fairness, methodology and dedicated workforce. During this Prasar Bharati CEO said that we are not in the race for TRP.

Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan and Minister of State for Communications Devusinh Chauhan were also present during the event. Mayank Agarwal said that we are the voice of the country. As far as we reach, no one can reach there. We are compared to private channels but when it comes to truth and authenticity, we are always number one. He said that we are not in the race for TRP. We are in a race to take the country forward. Doordarshan has fallen a bit, but it will once again go up. Steps are being taken in this direction. Soon he will regain his former position.
