Criticism of All India Radio’s pro-government reporting led the Indian government to appoint committees to examine its structure and autonomy. The Chanda Committee (1964) and the Verghese Committee (1977–78) both recommended reforms, including greater editorial independence and the creation of an autonomous broadcasting authority. Although these recommendations were not immediately implemented, they eventually contributed to the establishment of Prasar Bharati in 1997 to grant effective independence to All India Radio and Doordarshan.
