Govt planning
to use media channels for education
Information and Broadcasting Ministry in coordination with
Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry is working out to
find out modalities for use of media and entertainment industry
for telecasting educational programmes even at school level.
This
was stated by Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting
Ramesh Bais while addressing a seminar on ‘Media and
Entertainment’.
Efforts
are on to use the medium for educational programmes which
will not only be useful for UGC and Open Universities but
also for schools and other educational institutions, Minister
said, according to an official release.
Highlighting
the recent initiatives taken by government in broadcasting
sector, Bais said opening up of DTH and privatisation of FM
channels would enable people to have wider access to entertainment
and information.
Bais
said that there were nearly 76 channels available and there
would be an estimated increase to five to seven per cent every
year.
In the
coming days, the cables will not only be used for television
and Internet but for providing telephone connections that
will increase the tele-density of the country, he said.
