The Information and Broadcasting ministry is mulling expansion of Doordarshan 's round-the-clock news broadcast to around 100 countries with a view to reach out to the diaspora and put across India's perspective on domestic and international issues, a senior official said.
Currently, DD India primarily produces various cultural and general entertainment programmes for broadcast in overseas countries.
It also produces round-the-clock news and current affairs programmes for broadcast in only few countries, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China and the United Arab Emirates , he added.
"The ministry is considering the expansion of 24x7 news broadcast to a number of countries. The data is being compiled on various parameters for the purpose," the official said.
