The Maharashtra state government is all set to launch a set of TV channels to exclusively cover the proceedings of the state assembly. Earlier, the proceedings were aired on the local Doordarshan channels.
The new channels will be on the lines of Lok Sabha TV and Rajya Sabha TV and will cover the proceedings of the Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad live.
As per a report in the Indian Express, plans are under way to launch Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha TV and Vidhan Parishad TV in 2016, starting with a live broadcast of next year’s budget speech.
The project is expected to cost Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion). Maharashtra will, thus, become the first state in India to have television channels that will telecast proceedings of its bicameral legislature.
Space for a small studio has been identified within the secretariat complex and non-session programming is expected to be first launched with a couple of hours’ content daily, the daily reported.
While cameras and other equipment for the current live telecast of proceedings on Doordarshan are rented, equipment for the channel would be purchased shortly.
Principal Secretary (State Legislature) Anant Kalse told the daily that the channels would be uplinked from the secretariat building.
The Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited, a Government of India enterprise, is providing consultancy to the state secretariat on purchase of spectrum, licensing, establishment of the satellite uplink systems and content creation.
