Matching Media Committees and Their Formation Years
The question asks us to match specific committees related to media in India with the year they were constituted or became prominent. These committees played significant roles in shaping the media landscape.
Let's examine each committee and its corresponding year:
| Committee Name | Focus / Significance | Year |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Chanda Committee | Committee on Broadcasting and Information Media | 1964 |
| (b) Kuldip Nayar Committee | Committee to inquire into the affairs of Samachar (news agency) | March, 1977 |
| (c) Verghese Committee | Working Group on Autonomy for Akashvani & Doordarshan (Prasar Bharati) | August, 1977 |
| (d) P.C. Joshi Committee | Working Group on Software for Doordarshan | 1982 |
Based on this information, we can match the committees with their respective years:
- Chanda Committee (a) was formed in 1964 (iv) to examine the working of broadcasting and information media.
- Kuldip Nayar Committee (b) was constituted in March, 1977 (iii), shortly after the Emergency, to look into the affairs of the news agency Samachar.
- Verghese Committee (c), also known as the Working Group on Autonomy for Akashvani & Doordarshan, was set up in August, 1977 (ii) by the Janata government to propose a framework for autonomous broadcasting.
- P.C. Joshi Committee (d) was formed in 1982 (i) to suggest improvements in the software (programming) for Doordarshan.
Therefore, the correct matching is: (a) – (iv), (b) – (iii), (c) – (ii), (d) – (i).
Let's look at the options provided:
- Option 1: (a) – (i), (b) – (ii), (c – (iii), (d) – (iv) - Incorrect.
- Option 2: (a) – (i), (b) – (iii), (c – (ii), (d) – (iv) - Incorrect.
- Option 3: (a) – (iv), (b) – (iii), (c – (ii), (d) – (i) - Correct.
- Option 4: (a) – (iv), (b) – (ii), (c – (iii), (d) – (i) - Incorrect.
The correct pairing that aligns with the historical records of these significant media committees is found in Option 3.
