h Kumar Singh/Associated Press Till the early 90s, Doordarshan was a popular family channel.Mr. Anurag said that the blog has received “an overwhelming response” from Indians across the globe. With over 250 views per day,cheap toms shoes, Doordarshan National generates traffic not only from Indians across the country but also from the U.S. and the U.K. The most popular views include “Alif Laila,” a series based on stories from Arabian Nights, the family comedy “Dekh Bhai Dekh” and “Fauji” an action packed drama based on an Indian army commando regiment.In a bid to get more footage for his blogs, Mr. Anurag even offered to pay Doordarshan for VCD’s of several serials, but he said that officials at the broadcaster were indifferent to his offer.Despite repeated requests from India Real Time, Doordarshan officials weren’t available for comment.Doordarshan has more recently branched out into 11 regional and six national channels, including DD National, but it still hasn’t been able to cater to the Indian audience’s growing needs. According to a 2011 report by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry and KPMG, none of Doordarshan’s programs featured in the top 10 fictional and non-fictional programs of 2010.The only way the channel can leap forward is by developing relevant shows that cater to all sections of society, says Tarjeet Sabharwal, a media expert and author of “Satellite Television: An Impact on Social Participation.”Ms. Sabharwal believes that drastic measures involving public participation are needed, with greater market research, better quality of broadcasts, more shows that cater to urban India and the addition of creative and innovative series.Doordarshan’s schedule now includes soaps, cultural programs on traditional Indian dance and music, the daily news and movies on weekends. But these shows haven’t been overly successful as they just emulate other channels. Add to this Doordarshan’s obsolete technology and scripts from bygone times, it’s hardly surprising that the broadcaster has lost so much ground.“Flexibility, audience research and resourceful manpower is what the channel desperately needs” adds Ms. Sabharwal.It remains to be seen whether the old Indian broadcaster will listen and adapt or slip further into obscurity.You can follow India Real Time on Twitter @IndiaRealTime.
