The interim charge of Prasar Bharati CEO has been given to Rajeev Singh (currently Member Finance) after Member (Personnel) Suresh Chandra Panda (Retd IAS:1981: AM) completed his tenure last week. Panda had been holding the interim charge of CEO following Jawahar Sircar's resignation of in February 2016. However, the government's decision has landed the Prasar Bharati in a peculiar situation as Rajeev Singh remains the single functional member on its board. Prior to his absorption in BSNL, Rajeev Singh belonged to IP&TAFS cadre of 1994 batch which was recently empanelled as JS in Govt of India. Singh is considered one of the most competent and capable officers in his cadre. His rank is no longer an issue. He has an altogether independent status, because he had resigned from BSNL after his appointment as Member, Prasar Bharti. But still it has invited murmuring in power corridors for a set of reasons. Interestingly, his interim charge as CEO places him in a secretary rank post. Many others believe that Member Prasar Bharti is an additional secretary rank post and that's how Panda (Retd IAS:1981: AM), formerly Special Secretary in Govt of India, held the interim charge. Be that as it may, people are wondering what's going on.
