Yogesh Kumar Baweja, who is serving as the Press Registrar General of India, has been assigned the additional charge of Director General, Akashvani and Director General, Doordarshan.
According to an office order issued by Prasar Bharati on July 3, 2026, Baweja—who is already holding the additional charge of Director General (News), NSD: Akashvani—will now also oversee the responsibilities of DG, Akashvani and DG, Doordarshan alongside his existing duties.
He will hold these additional responsibilities during the ex-India leave of Rajeev Kumar Jain from July 4, 2026, to August 9, 2026, or until Jain resumes charge, whichever is earlier. During this period, Baweja will look after the routine administrative and operational matters of both Akashvani and Doordarshan.
