Public Service Broadcasting Day
Public service broadcasting day
The Public Service Broadcasting Day is observed across India on 12th November. The day is celebrated every year to commemorate the first and last visit of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi to the studio of All India Radio, Delhi in 1947.
The Father of the Nation addressed the displaced people from Pakistan, who had temporarily settled at Kurukshetra in Haryana after the partition of India. Gandhi had decided to convey his message through radio, as he couldn’t visit the refugees of Partition stationed at Kurukshetra in Haryana.
The day was declared as the Jan Prasaran Diwas (Public Service Broadcasting Day) in 2000, after it was conceptualised by Suhas Borker, Convenor, Jan Prasar.
