In September 2021, Sansad TV, a news channel combining the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha TV, was launched at a function presided over by Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Speaker Om Birla.
PM Modi had referred to the channel as the new voice of Parliament and that the channel adds another important chapter to the parliamentary system.
