PROJECT ON DOORDARSHAN

How Did It Begin?
• Doordarshan had a modest beginning with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi on 15 September 1959 with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio • The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio • The television service was extended to Bombay (now Mumbai) and Amritsar in 1972 • Up until 1975, only seven Indian cities had a television service and Doordarshan remained the sole provider of television in India. • Television services were separated from radio in 1976 • Each office of All India Radio and Doordarshan were placed under the management of two separate Director Generals in New Delhi • Finally, Doordarshan as a National Broadcaster came into existence
Goes National
• National telecasts were introduced in 1982 • In the same year, colour TV was introduced in the Indian market with the live telecast of the Independence Day speech by then prime minister Indira Gandhi on 15 August 1982 • Followed by the 1982 Asian Games which were held in Delhi • Now more than 90 percent of the Indian population can receive Doordarshan (DD National) programmes through a network of nearly 1,400 terrestrial transmitters. • There are about 46 Doordarshan studios producing TV programs today
