‘Ramayan’ re-telecast gave chance to young generation to experience epic serial: Javadekar

Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday thanked the family of ‘Ramayan’ serial creator Ramanand Sagar for facilitating the re-telecast of the epic production which gave a chance to the young generation to experience it.

In a letter to Prem Sagar, the son of the late Ramanand Sagar, Javadekar said it was “our wish to re-telecast ‘Ramayan’ during COVID-19 lockdown”.

“I am deeply grateful to your family for helping us in fulfilling this wish,” he said.

Javadekar said 40 years back when ‘Ramayan’ was released, not many people had access to television, but at present the situation is different as at least 18 crore households have access to television.
