I&B ministry announced the renaming of Bureau of Outreach and Communication to ‘Central Bureau of Communication’. The renaming was done to bring uniformity in ‘nomenclature within the organisation and across its regional and field verticals’.
The BOC was earlier constituted as the integrated unit at the headquarter level after merging three media units- Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity (DAVP), Directorate of Field Publicity (DFP) and Song and Drama Division (S&DD). BOC’s regional and field integrated units were given the nomenclature of Regional Outreach Bureau (ROB) and Field Outreach Bureau (FOB).
The new nomenclature of the organisation will be ‘Central Bureau of Communication’ at all levels- headquarter, regional, zonal, and field.
