Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar (Rtd IAS:1975:WB), whose term ends in February next, said on Friday that he is considering the option of quitting and that he has thought "very strongly" about this option. Sircar, who had retired as Secretary Culture in the Union Government, was appointed as Prasar Bharati CEO in 2012.
Speculations have been rife that former I&B secretary Sunil Arora may succeed Sircar as the next CEO. Arora was recently appointed as an advisor in Prasar Bharati.
"I have thought of this option very strongly and have often said so....I am tired and would like to go. I often have said so. However, I cannot run away until the final phase of transparency is assured. Prasar Bharati's future has to be ensured," Sircar told a wire agency.
