Eligibility criteria eased to woo top talent for Trai leadership

NEW DELHI: The Central government has relaxed eligibility conditions for appointing chairman and members of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) as it aims to draw top talent for the long-pending leadership vacancies.

With the notification of the Telecommunications Act 2023, it will be much easier now for senior government officials, who are not IAS (Indian Administrative Services) officers, to become the chairman or a member at Trai.
