In little over two months that he has been at the helm of affairs, 
Minister of State with independent charge, Information & Broadcasting 
Ministry, Ravi Shankar Prasad has been in the thick of action, grappling 
with diverse issues ranging from uplinking of foreign news channels, the 
brouhaha over "insensitive" television commercials and surrogate 
advertising.

He has been busy offering a friendly ear to the ailing film industry, 
ironing out dissenting voices of different stake-holders in the 
soon-to-roll-out conditional access regime and putting it on track. 
Talking to Economictimes.com, Prasad outlines the government's vision 
for the entertainment industry.
