Rashtrapati Bhavan programmes on Youtube

New Delhi: Expanding reach on internet, the Rashtrapati Bhavan has put programmes attended by President Pranab Mukherjee on video-sharing site Youtube.

Officials said the decision to upload ceremonies on the website was aimed at reaching out to younger generation and people working in cyber space.

The aim behind such a move is to exploit online media to ensure better connectivity with the people in cyber world and keep pace with modern times to ensure fast dissemination of information," the official added.
