DD to soon have creative head to enhance quality: Javadekar

A creative head will soon be appointed for Doordarshan to enhance the quality of its programmes, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said Thursday, asserting that steps are being taken to modernise the public broadcaster.

Javadekar, who inaugurated video walls in all eight Doordarshan studios and an earth station at the DD Kendra here, said the national broadcaster is synonymous with credibility.

He said that under the three-year action plan of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, support has been given to Doordarshan to modernise its infrastructure.

“The addition of state of the art video walls and spectrum efficient satellite equipment, is a step in the direction of revamping the public service broadcaster,” Javadekar said.
