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
3
hierarchical structure, entrusted with the task of not just pre-certification of the electionrelated 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
4
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.
6
This booklet details the nuances of the functioning of MCMC, District SouthWest 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
9
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
