Yet Doordarshan still captures the spirit and remains in the ethos of a large chunk of Indians, who fondly wish that many of the programmes of yester years be repeated for old times’ sake when village upon village participated in a joint viewing exercise, exchanged camaraderie and the air was always light and full of bonhomie.ĭoordarshan programmes of those times were initial to all – the producers, the people who participated in them and the content was new, simple and entertaining to the audiences across the nation. Today there are more than thousand channels available through dish antenna facilitated, digital sound and vision formatted programmes of you-name-it types. When one looks back, there are still the fond memories of an era where TV broadcast was actually waited for fervently, watched ardently, and devoured intently, within the constraints of limited timings, minimalcontent and a monopolistic situation. a journey that started as a monopoly, was overtaken in content and variety by a host of television channels in the early 90s with a continued bombardment across the years as more and more channels are being added every year by the plethora of service providers that have brought new, views and reviews of all sorts to the drawing rooms of millions across the country and a reach spread to far corners of the world since.
Doordarshan, the national carrier, the pioneer television service of India that took shape as the National Broadcasting Channel in 1982, commenced color TV with the Independence Day the same year.
