Sub: Policy Guidelines on publicity in electronic media

Railways have been undertaking publicity in electronic media by producing
spois/ short films and arranging their telecast/ broadcast on Doordarshan and Akashvani
within their respective jurisdictions from time to time. Due to coming up of a number of.
private TV/ Radio channels, a need has arisen to frame policy. guidelines in this regard:
Since, Railways have been following the guidelines of the Directorate of Advertising &
Visual Publicity (DAVP), Ministry of Information & Broadcasting for publicity in print
media, informal consultations were held with the DAVP in respect of the publicity in
electronic media. Like print media, the primary objective of advertising in electronic
media also is to secure the widest possible coverage at optimum cost. Like print media,
DAVP is the nodal agency of the Government of India for advertising in electronic
media also. DAVP does the empanelment of various TV/Radio channels & producers.
It also fixes up the rates of production of TV/ Radio spots as well as the rates of
advertising on various private. TV/ Radio channels. In this connection, their website
(4ttp.www.davp.nic.in) may be referred to. oe

2. As per the advertising policy of the Government of India, all the advertisements
to be released (in print as well as electronic media) by the central Ministries and other
Organisations including Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are required to be routed
through the DAVP. However, as in respect of advertising in print media, the Railways,
etc are not required to route their advertisements through DAVP in respect of electronic
media also due to their special needs and also the fact that it has a full fledged Public
Relations set up of its own spread all over the country. However, the other guidelines of
the DAVP, especially those in respect of rates of production, and rates of advertising
have to be followed as in respect of the print media. In this regard, the guidelines
contained in the ANNEXURE to this letter may be followed.
