Conscious of its role as a public broadcaster, RSTV has conceptualised programmes on the basis of the vibrant relationship between the Parliament and the people of India.[4] It aims at providing an objective perspective on national and international affairs to the people.[5] RSTV touches upon all the aspects of political, economic, social and cultural life of the people, while promoting scientific temper among masses.[6]

Currently, the CEO of Rajya Sabha TV is Manoj Pandey.[2]

With a vision to document the story of how the Constitution of India was created, Rajya Sabha TV produced the 10-part TV mini-series Samvidhaan, which was directed by the noted film director Shyam Benegal.[7][8][9][10]
