Today when the country celebrates 86 years of broadcasting, Prasar Bharati Parivar would like to remember and salute all those who have contributed to the growth of broadcasting in our country. 
  
Akashvani and Doordarshan have a special significance as the grand old National Public Service Broadcasters and both of them have very rich and glorious history.  Almost every renowned singer, celebrated dancer and distinguished and eminent writer have been associated with Akashvani, especially in the 1940s-50s and beyond.  Many of them were associated with Doordarshan as well.  Doordarshan has also contributed to the blossoming of many Film Directors, Artists, and Producers.  
PB Parivar calls upon each of its members to join hands in building up this data base and saluting our veterans.  You may send the following details directly to pbparivar@gmail.com.

The first concert program was heard at a distance of three miles, and subsequently a discourse from the local gulf club was heard at a distance of 72 miles.
