Union Minister Jagatrakshakan at Shirdi temple. Trustee Ashok Khambekar felicitated him

The Government is ready to consider telecast of daily aartis and other programmes at Shirdi Sai Baba temple on Doordarshan National Channel, said Union Minister of state for Information & Broadcasting S Jagatrakshakan while on a visit to Shirdi.

But he said the initiative must come from the Shri Saibaba Sansthan. ‘ If we receive a proposal from the Sansthan , we will consider broadcasting the Aartis over All India Radio FM channels as well’, he told a questioner.

The Minister stated that 150 FM channels and 21 TV centers would be opened this year. He added that the government was planning to set up a Broadcasting Authority of India to control over the mushrooming TV channels.
