Television channel
Sansad TV is an Indian government television channel , which broadcasts the proceedings of the two Houses of Indian Parliament (Bharatiya Sansad) and other public affairs programming . It was formed in March 2021 by amalgamating the existing house channels, Lok Sabha TV and the Rajya Sabha TV , although separate satellite channels are broadcast for each House.[ 2]
Provisionally, the channel will have about 35 themes on which programmes will be aired, and the programmes will be similar, but in two languages: Hindi and English . The channel was launched by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi , Vice President of India Venkaiah Naidu and Speaker of Lok Sabha Om Birla on 15 September 2021.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] Bibek Debroy , Karan Singh , Amitabh Kant , Shashi Tharoor , Vikas Swarup , Priyanka Chaturvedi , Hemant Batra , Maroof Raza and Sanjeev Sanyal .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12] [ 13] [ 14]
History
It was formed in the year 2021."During the intersession period and beyond the working hours of Parliament, both will telecast common content to a large extent. The LSTV platform would telecast programmes in Hindi, while RSTV would do so in English. The two language variants, it was felt, enables better branding and increased viewership", a top official said. "The attempt is to go beyond the proceedings of the Houses and show the functioning of Parliament and parliamentarians when the House is not in session."[ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18]
