It is found that the selection criteria for the members is dubious and few nominated among the above are editors without papers or magazines and any experience, and few are such that they have dislodged from the field of journalism. For example Smt. Mangipudi Aruna of Association of small and medium Newspapers of India has leased her magazine to some other and currently she is not the editor.
It should be made public how she is nominated for the above prestigious committee.
