Shri Prakash Javadekar took charge of his new assignment as Minister of Information & Broadcasting here today (27.05.2014). Speaking to media persons thereafter, Shri Javadekar said that freedom of press is the pillar of democracy.

The Minister also touched upon the idea of "Mazboot Bharat, Viksit Bharat" reiterating the vision of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in this regard. He added that we have a majority for the government but we need cooperation of the entire country to make a strong and developed nation by 2025.
