The latest episode of Star World's interview show Cover Story will feature our I&B minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. Viewers can catch him on 29 February at 10 pm.

On the show Prasad talks to the show's host Vir Sanghvi about his childhood memories, career, his entry into politics. He said," My father was a man of great commitment and was truly a self-made man. He fought his way up, became an eminent lawyer of Bihar and was the president of Jansangh for 10 years. He was very particular about my studies."

Talking about his job he said, "It's an interesting job. I came in the I&B ministry at a time when the sheer growth of the entertainment sector has impressed me enormously and I am very much convinced that if the nineties were the decade of IT and communication, this is the decade of Indian Entertainment - films, TV animation, radio. As a minister I am trying my level best to facilitate the same."

Talking about the conditional access system (Cas) debacle for which he had to take some harsh criticism last year he put on a brave face. "The Cas story is well known. We had to put it off in Delhi because of political considerations. I took a very clear position from day one that the state and the central government have to work as a team. The government is a facilitator and not an arbitrator."
