Display credits of serials in Hindi, regional languages too, I&B Ministry tells TV channels

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has directed all satellite TV channels to display the casting, credits and titles of Hindi and regional language serials in the respective languages also. The Government said this is to promote Indian languages, enhance outreach and benefit TV viewers of the country.

It has come to the notice of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting that several Hindi and regional language TV channels display the casting, credits, titles of Hindi and regional language TV serials only in English, an official statement said.

This practice tends to deprive people versed with Hindi and regional languages of the valuable information about casting of TV serials or programmes, it said.
