New Delhi: After foraying on microblogging site twitter, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh‘s Office has made its debut on popular video-sharing website YouTube.

The PMO said it will now be communicating with the people “more” through videos.

“PMOIndia is now also on YouTube at pmofficeindia. We will be communicating more with you through videos,” PMO sources said.

The PMO has started foraying into the new media after TV journalist Pankaj Pachauri took over as Communications Adviser to the Prime Minister.

The first video uploaded yesterday was about Prime Minister’s speech at a conference related to UPA’s flagship programme Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee
Scheme (MGNREGA).

This was followed by one today about Singh’s visit to Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial Rajghat on his birthday on 2 October last year.

  • Time to unfollow the PMO on Twitter

    Jan 24, 2012

    The PMO’s understanding of the use of twitter is clear when you see that the account follows no one at all. The PMO account will be broadcasting, not interacting. It will not be engaging and cerebral, it will be banal and boring.
