Rina Sonowal Kouli appointed Doordarshan director general

NEW DELHI: Doordarshan has a new voice at the top. Doordarshan has appointed Rina Sonowal Kouli as its new director general, with the public broadcaster looking to strengthen its organisation, expand its reach and deepen engagement with audiences across India.

Doordarshan National announced the appointment through a social media post, welcoming Kouli to the new role and highlighting her leadership responsibilities.

As director general, Kouli will provide strategic leadership and guidance as Doordarshan continues to evolve its programming and audience outreach across the country.

The appointment comes as the broadcaster continues to strengthen its presence across television and digital platforms while retaining its role as one of India’s key public service broadcasters.

Doordarshan said it looks forward to working under Kouli’s leadership to further strengthen the organisation and build deeper connections with audiences nationwide.

Kouli’s appointment places her at the helm of the country’s public broadcasting network as it seeks to balance its longstanding national role with changing viewing habits and an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
