Ministers to interact directly with netizens through Twitter under I-B Ministrys Talkathon programme

Date:

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is organising a ‘Talkathon’ as part of its initiative to highlight the achievements of the NDA Government at the Centre in the last one year.

The ‘Talkathon’ platform would involve the participation of three ministers simultaneously: Union Minister for Human Resource Development Smriti Irani, Minister of State for Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal and Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman.

The ‘Talkathon’ programme is scheduled on May 30 for a duration of 90 minutes, 6 p.m. onwards. The program would be live from the National Media Centre in New Delhi.

‘Talkathon’ is an initiative by the New Media Wing of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting which connects the virtual space with the physical world.

Under the platform, participants in the social media space can post questions on Twitter which would be answered by the guests in real-time. The users may use the hashtag #AskYourGovt to post their queries to the Twitter handle of the Ministry @MIB_India. The speakers shall reply to the queries posted on Twitter, in real-time.

This is the third edition of the ‘Talkathon’. It was introduced at International Film Festival of India last year.

The previous edition of the ‘Talkathon’ was with Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley soon after he had presented the budget on March 28. It had been a success, with the hashtag #AskFM trending at number one on Twitter.

The current edition of Talkathon is a collaborative effort of the New Media Wing, Press Information Bureau and Doordarshan News under the aegis of the I-B Ministry.
