FOREWORD

Democracy is the crucial foundation on which the magnificent

edifice of our modern Indian society is conceived and engineered by

the founding fathers of our Nation and free and fair elections, based

on universal adult franchise, lies at the very heart of this splendid

conception. The Election Commission of India, mandated and empowered by the

Constitution, has laudably and outstandingly, ensured the progressive realization of this

glorious vision through its outstanding direction, superlative control and sterling

superintendence of successive elections to the Parliament and State Legislatures, always

setting ever-higher standards of excellence, which are globally acknowledged as

international benchmarks in election management.

In view of the burgeoning complexities of our modern times, especially the

explosion of the electronic audio-visual media and the all-pervasive penetration of the

world wide web (internet) and their near ubiquitous and myriad influences on our daily

existence, it is, but, natural, to comprehend that the election process itself cannot remain

aloof from its inexorable sway. And ,therein, lies the imperative of necessary checks and

effective monitoring of the emerging technologies and advances in mass communication

and social media platforms in order to ensure that the purity of the electoral process is not

compromised in manner whatsoever and the foundations of our democratic edifice remain

strong and robust.

Towards this worthy end, the Election Commission of India has foresightedly

initiated the concept of Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC), in a

4

hierarchical structure, entrusted with the task of not just pre-certification of the election-

related material to be projected on the electronic media, but more importantly, to serve as

an effective and vigilant systemic mechanism to monitor the various print and electronic

media for any publication/broadcast of material repugnant to the Model Code of Conduct

or violative of the extant election laws. The MCMC is also tasked with the onerous

responsibility of tackling the pernicious menace of 'Paid News', which, if not stymied

forcefully, portends to corrode the vitals of our electoral systems.

Fully realizing the vital significance and imminent relevance of this

sagacious initiative from the Election Commission of India, the South-West District

Election Office undertook the task of planning, establishing, executing and monitoring the

functioning of the MCMC in the right earnest, in order to comply with each and every

direction of the Commission in true letter and spirit. Since, this is a novel and incipient

concept, there would, understandably, be a scope of many future improvements, but I am

quite satisfied to record our sincerity of effort, clarity of purpose and firm conviction in our

abilities and initiatives in giving a concrete and robust shape to the MCMC, which is

functioning round-the-clock and monitoring a slew of cable TV and Satellite Channels,

radio broadcasts and FM transmissions, besides print media and social media platforms on

the internet.

A word of appreciation is in order for the sterling efforts of Shri Prince

Dhawan, IAS (Probationer), who as Nodal Officer MCMC etched the contours of this

virtually uncharted territory and formulated an implementable strategy for operationalizing

the MCMC. I would also fervently acknowledge the excellent contributions of Shri

5

Subhash Gupta, SDM (Elections) South-West, Shri Navil Kapur, Ex-Member Secretary,

MCMC, Shri J.S. Negi, Member Secretary, MCMC (South-West) and all the officials of

the Election Cell, South-West in the functioning of the MCMC.

It is my ardent hope that this humble effort serves the intended purpose of

being a small, yet noticeable, push in the right direction to buttress the worthy endeavors

and noble aspirations of the Election Commission of India in cementing the systems and

structures for securing free, fair and peaceful elections in the country.

NIKHIL KUMAR IAS

District Magistrate & District Election Officer,

South-West District.

PREFACE

The Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) is one of the

recent initiatives of the Election Commission of India. Given the rise of the menace of paid

news and spread and reach of the audio-visual media as well as the print media, the

MCMC has come to occupy an important place in the electoral process of our country.

Since, this committee is still in its infancy as far as the electoral process goes, best

practices in its functioning are yet to be evolved.

During the Delhi Legislative Elections-2013, we, in the South-West District

of NCT of Delhi, under the dynamic and visionary leadership of our District Magistrate

and District Election Officer Sh. Nikhil Kumar, IAS have tried to establish a standard for

running the MCMC professionally. Thus, the MCMC of District South-West runs 24x7 in

three shifts, with constant monitoring of TV channels, radio channels, print media, social

media as well as complaints from aware citizens. This has been established by organizing

the manpower into multiple shifts and assigning specific channels/newspapers/websites to

each individual to monitor. We have also compiled an exhaustive rate-list of

advertisements in these media and have evolved a clear procedure to certify advertisements

of candidates and book their expenditures accordingly.

7

This booklet details the nuances of the functioning of MCMC, District South-

West and is brought out in the hope that these would be widely adopted and improved

upon.

I must thank Mr. Navil Kapur (ex-Member Secretary, MCMC), Mr. Jasbir

Singh Negi (Member Secretary, MCMC) and Mr. Sandeep Nigam (Asst. Production

Manager) for their efforts in bringing out this compilation.

guidelines of the Election Commission of India.

The cell was envisaged as a media-monitoring unit, which would undertake its

activities of watching the TV and listening to the FM radio on 24x7 basis. In view of its

continuous nature of monitoring, it was considered appropriate to run the MCMC cell

round the clock in three shifts of 6.00 am to 2.00 pm from 2.00 pm to 10.00 pm, and from

10.00 pm to 6.00 am. The staff has been deployed in three shifts to ensure that the

monitoring activities continue without any break on a continuous basis. The office is

10

concurrently running three other cells as well on 24x7 pattern and the personnel deputed in

these cells are assigned the duty to take the attendance of the other cell so that an automatic

cross check of attendance happens and everyone’s presence in the shifts is ensured.

The Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) is headed by the

DEO as its Chairperson. The MCMC has been set-up by the Nodal Officer in-charge who

has seen to it that the Cell is operationalized with the basic infrastructure for monitoring

TV and FM radio. The setting up of Computers with inter-net connection and other office

equipment to enable the MCMC to run efficiently has been accomplished under the

supervision and personal care of the Nodal Officer in-charge. The Nodal Officer has also

ensured that technical personnel are deployed to carry out constant maintenance of all the

equipment on a regular basis. The Nodal Officer is also the link between the Chairperson

of the MCMC and the Member Secretary deputed in the MCMC. Member Secretary of the

MCMC actively micro manages the daily activities under the cell. The Member Secretary

of the MCMC builds up the cases for permission for certification of political

advertisements and all correspondence required therein. The day-to-day administration

and management of the cell is delegated to the Member Secretary of the MCMC who
