Talkathon
is an initiative that connects the virtual space with the physical world. Under
the platform, participants in the social media space can post questions on
Twitter, which will be answered by the guests in real-time.
The
previous editions of Talkathon have seen the participation of three Union
Ministers, Minister for Human Resource Development, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, Union
Minister of State (I/C) for Power, Coal, New and Renewable Energy, Shri Piyush
Goyal and Union Minister of State (I/C) for Commerce and Industry,
Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman on the completion of one year of the
Government. Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley and Union Railway Minister
Shri Suresh Prabhu have also utilized this platform, soon after presenting
their respective budgets earlier this year to connect with the people directly.
In the first two instances, the respective hashtags (#AskyourGovt and #AskFM)
trended at Number 1 position. Recently, Ministry of I&B also conducted a
Talkathon on the new Black Money Law, with the Revenue Secretary, Shri
Shaktikanta Das and CBDT chairperson, Ms. Anita Kapur, besides conducting a
series of Talkathons on the sidelines of International Film Festival of India,
2015, which saw participation of various national and internationally acclaimed
actors, producers and directors.
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 Ministry
of Information & Broadcasting.
