According to the Budget document presented by Sitharaman, a large portion of the allocation — Rs 2,959.94 crore — has been made to broadcasting, while Rs 1,088.16 crore has been earmarked under the head of Information and Publicity, which is marginally higher than the revised estimates of the previous fiscal, PTI reported.
