    The document summarizes key recommendations and status updates from three committees related to Prasar Bharati: 1) The Narayan Murthy Committee in 2000 focused on setting industry standards, making Prasar Bharati financially and personnel independent of the government, and expanding into new media. However, its recommendations were not fully implemented. 2) The Bakshi Committee in 2000 primarily clarified rules in the Prasar Bharati Act but did not focus on strategic issues. 3) The Sengupta Committee in 1996 made recommendations around Prasar Bharati's structure and financing that are now outdated due to changes over time. It also proposed a new regulatory body.
