Carriage of DD channels on Cable TV Network


In view of the contribution of Doordarshan towards dissemination of accurate information about policies and programmes of government, acceleration of socio-economic change, promotion of national integration and stimulation of scientific temper, it is mandated that all Cable TV Networks should carry DD channels. However, it is noticed that the same is not being done by several cable operators, which is in contravention of existing rules.

An affidavit has been sought from all MSOs to ensure that all mandated DD channels are being carried on their TV Network: Union Minister @PrakashJavdekar
