Shri Lalli has also been Part-time Chairperson of the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC). Mr. P.G.DharChakraborty National Institute of Disaster Management, India Abstract The increasing incidents of disasters throughout the world, due to various factors ranging from global warming and climate change to unplanned settlement of vulnerable communities in hazards prone areas and the consequential mounting graph of loss of life and property, have brought the issue of disaster risk reduction and management at the core of development planning, particularly in developing countries. The management issues of disaster are now being approached in a holistic framework covering the entire cycle of disasters - from the pre disaster phase of prevention, preparedness and mitigation to the post disaster issues of response, relief and rehabilitation. Disaster communication system plays an important role in every phase of disaster management, particularly during the phase of disaster preparedness through timely and accurate early warning and its dissemination to the last mile and quick response after the disaster events. Sometimes, the communication system itself becomes a victim of disasters disrupting the link of the disaster- affected communities with the world outside. Therefore, a reliable and full proof disaster communication system is extremely important for efficient management of disasters. Revolution in information and communication technologies has made it possible to design a fail proof disaster communication system. In this system various modes of communication play their role, but the most important role is played by the radio and TV broadcasting system, which has a large penetration and maximum outreach among the communities all over the country including the most difficult and inaccessible areas. Areas not covered by the network can still be accessed by ham radio network, which can transmit relevant disaster related messages to the affected communities. This paper would examine the disaster communication system of India and the role that various types of private and public radio and TV broadcasters can play in further streamlining the dissemination of early waning and transmission of vital information and awareness materials before during and after disasters.

  • Gujarat Government Overcomes Hurdles of Lockdown in More Than One Innovative Ways
    Gujarat Government overcomes hurdles of lockdown in more than one innovative ways As we have witnessed, COVID-19 has changed scenario of the world. This global pandemic is one of the biggest challenges the international community has ever faced in the recent history. It has also re-emphasised the stark inequalities between the privileged and the marginalised communities. The world also faced the biggest lockdown which obstructed or delayed many essential services in the field of livelihood, health, nutrition, education, etc. And the last mile people suffered most due to the situation. The service providers, especially the governments came across the greatest challenge to continue these essential services without compromising with the regularity, quality and health norms. As per its mandate ICDS scheme fulfils the most critical needs of community at large by providing supplementary nutrition, healthcare and preschool education for pregnant and lactating mothers, adolescent girls and children below six years. To defeat the challenge and to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 the Government of India imposed a nationwide lockdown on 23rd March 2020. Along with all the other important Govt. departments, ICDS came forward with innovative, scalable and practical ideas for safe delivery of essential services even during the lockdown. To ensure the health and safety of beneficiaries and service providers, ICDS, Women & Child Development Department, Gujarat, designed, developed and implemented ‘Umbre Anganwadi’ (means Anganwadi at Door Step) programme using digital platforms and to ensure home delivery of services. Since Anganwadi Centres had shut down on 16th of March (and remain closed till date), they had to come up with the alternative for provision of Hot cook meals.

  • Launching of Doordarshan: This Day in History – Sep 15
    Launching of Doordarshan: This Day in History – Sep 15 On 15 September 1959, the Government of India launched Doordarshan or DD in short, India’s public service broadcaster in Delhi. Starting as an experiment with one small 5 KW transmitter and an improvised studio, DD became a national broadcaster in 1982. Origins of Doordarshan ● When it started out, DD was part of All India Radio. The initial equipment was provided by Philips India Ltd. and the coverage area was only 40 km around the national capital. It was inaugurated by the then President Dr Rajendra Prasad. ● DD initially telecast programmes only on two days a week for a duration of one hour per day. ● With aid from the Ford Foundation, educational programmes were telecast for school children in Delhi from 1964. ● Daily transmission of programmes commenced in 1965. Duration of the broadcast was only three hours per day. It also started a news bulletin (lasting only five minutes) in 1965. ● In 1967, DD aired its first programme called ‘Krishi Darshan’. This was a 20-minute programme for farmers educating them about various aspects about agriculture. This was done in collaboration with the Department of Atomic Energy, the Indian Research Institute, and the Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments. Krishi Darshan is one of the longest running shows on Indian television, along with Chitrahaar, a show that plays Bollywood songs. ● The television service was extended to Bombay and Amritsar in 1972. ● Gradually over the years, the duration of the service and the transmitter range were increased. ● The government conducted a satellite TV experiment in 1975-76 for educational purposes.

  • Recommendations for Revenue Generation for Prasar Bharati
    Recommendations for Revenue Generation for Prasar Bharati Submitted by Ms. Vibha Desai, Former Executive Director, Ogilvy & Mather Dr. C. MuraliKrishna Kumar, Senior Advisor, Planning Commission Mr. V.K. Jain, Additional DG, Doordarshan Dr. Mahim Sagar, Professor, IIT Delhi In consultation with: Mr. Sam Pitroda May, 2013 1 1. Introduction To be the known as “the best”, an organization needs to defeat the rest. Every success story, every achievement, every accomplishment, every feat involves four very important steps. They are - Analysis Planning Execution Improvement Hence, for Prasar Bharati to reach the epitome of success, it has to imbibe the ability to analyse, the capacity to plan, the will to execute and the motivation to improve. Prasar Bharati came into existence in 1997 under the Prasar Bharati Act, prior to which Doordarshan and AIR where governed by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. What the organization lacks today is a self sustainable model. In spite of having maximum pan India reach, the Indians are not willing to invest their time in watching/listening to outstanding programs developed by All India Radio and Doordarshan. Indeed, it is time for Prasar Bharati to begin its journey from being the “Voice of India” to being the “Voice of Modern India”. 2. Methodology Adopted There are four different ways in which data are collected 1. Secondary Research – Research papers, websites of other national broadcasting channels, Doordarshan website and also other annual report of each channels 2. Competitor Analysis – To benchmark the performance, revenue stream of channels, competitor analysis is carried out. It is done at two level: a.
