Doordarshan Kendra Delhi has been planning and recording musical evenings and telecasting them as a series coinciding with important dates in the life of music legends. The programmes are being produced in fulfilment of Doordarshan’s role as a Public Service Broadcaster and in order to improve its image, encourage new talent, strengthen Doordarshan’s viewership base. These efforts are part of Delhi Doordarshan’s strategy to reach out to the people, provide them a platform to showcase their talent and to make Doordarshan, one of the most sought after channels in the country.
The idea for these shows emanated from DDK Bangalore’s highly popular and successful music show series “Madura Madura Vee Manjula Gana” and is the brain child of Doordarshan’s Additional Director General, Nadoja Dr. Mahesh Joshi. All the programmes organized in Delhi have received wide response from people from different walks of life. Nadoja Dr Mahesh Joshi feels that in today’s changed scenario, where the public have more than 500 channels to choose from, special efforts are required from Doordarshan to remain in the people’s hearts. He believes Doordarshan has to become Samik Darshan and reach out to the hearts and minds of people.
