62nd foundation day of Doordarshan today


New Delhi: Doordarshan had a modest beginning as an experimental telecast starting in Delhi on 15 September 1959, with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio.


Regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. Doordarshan began a five-minute news bulletin in the same year. Pratima Puri was the first newsreader. Salma Sultan joined Doordarshan in 1967 and later became a news anchor.


The television service was extended to Bombay (now Mumbai) and Amritsar in 1972.


Up till 1975, only 7 Indian cities had a television service and Doordarshan remained the sole provider of television in India. Television services were separated from the radio on 1 April 1976. Each office of All India Radio and Doordarshan was placed under the management of two separate Director Generals in New Delhi.


Finally, in 1982, Doordarshan took shape as a National Broadcaster. Krishi Darshan was the first program telecast on Doordarshan. It commenced on 26 January 1967 and is one of the longest-running programs on Indian television.
