CHAPTER: 1HISTORYDoordarshan,sometimes DoorDarshan ( literally means Television) is the public television broadcaster of India and a division of Prasar Bharati, a public service broadcaster nominated by the Government of India. It is one of the largest broadcasting organizations in the world in terms of the infrastructure of studios and transmitters. Recently it has also started Digital Terrestrial Transmitters. BEGINNING Doordarshan had a modest beginning with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi in September 1959 with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio. The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. The television service was extended to Mumbai (then Bombay) and Amritsar in 1972. Till 1975, seven Indian cities had television service and Doordarshan remained the only television channel in India. Television services were separated from radio in 1976. Each office of All India Radio and Doordarshan were placed under the management of two separate Director Generals in New Delhi. Finally Doordarshan as a National Broadcaster came into existence.

GOING NATIONAL National programme was introduced in 1982. In the same year, colors TV was introduced in the Indian market with the live telecast of the Independence Day speech by then prime minister Indira Gandhi on 15 August 1982, followed by the 1982 Asian Games being held in Delhi. The 80s was the era of Doordarshan with soaps like Hum Log (1984), Buniyaad (1986-87), comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (1984) and mythological dramas like Ramayan (1987-88) and Mahabharat (1988-89) glued millions to Doordarshan. Other popular programs included Hindi film songs based programs like Chitrahaar and Rangoli and crime thrillers like Karamchand (starring Pankaj Kapoor), Byomkesh Bakshi (starring Rajit kapur) and Janki Jasoos. Now more than 90 percent of the Indian population can receive Doordarshan (DD National) programmes through a network of nearly 1400 terrestrial transmitters and about 46 Doordarshan studios produce TV programs today CHANNELS Presently, Doordarshan operates 19 channels two All India channels, 11 Regional languages Satellite Channels (RLSC), four State Networks (SN), an International channel, a Sports Channel and two channels (DD-RS & DD-LS) for live broadcast of parliamentary proceedings. On DD National, Regional programmes and Local Programmes are carried on time-sharing basis. DD-News channel, launched on 3 November 2003, which replaced the DD-Metro Entertainment channel, provides 24-Hour7

news service. The Regional Languages Satellite channels have two components The Regional service for the particular state relayed by all terrestrial transmitters in the state and additional programmes in the Regional Language in prime time and non-prime time available only through cable operators. Sports Channel is exclusively devoted to the broadcasting of sporting events of national and international importance. This is the only Sports Channels which telecasts rural sports like Kho-Kho, Kabbadi etc. something which private broadcasters will not attempt to telecast as it will not attract any revenues.

ACTIVE DOORDARSHAN It is an Interactive Service of Tata Sky to show 4 TV Channels of Doordarshan which are not available at Tata sky as normal Channel. Active Doordarshan channels are Rajyasabha TV, Gyan Darshan, DD Urdu and DD Bharati

CRITICISM Doordarshan is often criticized for low quality of programs and sometimes even poor telecast and presentation quality. Additionally, since it is not a profit and loss enterprise like private channels STAR Plus, Zee8

TV or Sony TV, it does not have the requisite push for better programming. Despite being heavily funded and protected by the government, many critics have pointed that it continues to post losses regularly and has failed to deliver either quality educational programmes or entertainment programs. The media have regularly criticized the channel for telecasting one too many ads in cricket matches often showing only 5 of the 6 balls of an over and even doubled the time between two overs for commercial slots to make extra money One cricket magazine described Doordarshan's live telecast as a "horror show".Supporters argue that it has a greater responsibility towards the nation, such as emergency services, important government announcements and public broadcasts; entertainment comes a distant second priority. However many contradict this stating that Doordarshan is more interested only in cricket matches and has abdicated its so called "responsibilities" in favour of monetary gains,and political dealings.

INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING DD-India is being broadcasted internationally through Satellite. It is available in 146 countries worldwide; however the information on picking up this channel in other countries is not easily available. In the UK, DDIndia is available through the Eurobird Satellite on the Sky system on Channel 833 (the logo is shown as Rayat TV). The timing and programming of DD-India international is different from that of India

\DD-Gujarati is the Gujarati language channel of India's national broadcaster,Doordarshan. It is broadcast out of studios at Doordarshan Kendra (Center) in Ahmedabad in Gujarat State.

The studio used to function from the ISRO, Ahmedabad premises, while the administrative office was located in the Polytechnic compound in Ahmedabad. Few years later, a plot of land was identified and a Low Power LPT was set up in Ahmedabad at Thaltej Tekra on November 19, 1993. The studio was commissioned on October 2, 1987 while the regional language uplinking was started on December 30, 1992. DD Metro channel was set up on May 1, 1994 while the SRLS on October 1, 1993.

C.P.THAKUR

26

Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dr. C.P.Thakur as announced that his Ministry has developed a package of services for women & children to reduce the infant and maternal mortality rate. The package includes the Reproductive and Child Health Programme and introduces steps for treating the major health problems of women. The measures include improving the quality and expanding the range of services at the community health centres by utilising part-time services of the private medical practitioners, gynaecologists and anaesthetists, besides making adequate provisions for transportation of pregnant women in those hospitals. Inaugurating the Health 'Mela' at Mathura, the birth place of Lord Krishna, on 17.9.2000, Dr. Thakur has informed that a national technical committee has been set up in the Department of Family Welfare to explore ways of reducing neo-natal mortality. This has been done in view of the serious concern being expressed regarding the infant mortality rate not coming down for the last three years. Intensified pulse polio campaigns are starting from 19.9.2000 in the States of U.P., Bihar, West Bengal and Delhi where the first round of polio immunisation will take place on 24th September. The Minister has called upon the Chiefs of the Panchayati Raj Institutions to keep vigil over the availability of doctors at the Primary Health Centres to ensure the proper medical care to the rural poor of their respective areas. He has also urged the villagers to come forward voluntarily to accept the small family norms. Objectives of National Population Policy and Family Welfare Programme could be made into reality only by providing better health care facility at the doorsteps of the neglected poor of the villages. Keeping this in view, his Ministry is organising Health 'Melas' for improving the quality of reproductive health services27

in the States of U.P., M.P., Bihar, Rajasthan, Orissa and Assam. The first of such Health 'Mela' being held at Mathura has been extended by a day in view of the heavy turn out of the people for the Health 'Mela' on the inaugural day. Hence, the Mela will come to close on 20.9.2000. The Health Minister, the Minister for Maternal and Child Welfare, the Minister for Public Works Department, Minister of State for Health of Uttar Pradesh Government, Members of Parliament and the Principal Secretary to Health of the State Government have also addressed the inaugural function. They have urged the Centre to set up a TRAUMA Centre at Mathura to serve the accident victims. Specialists from AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital are camping there to help the State Health Authorities to make the health mela a success.

DR. C.P.THAKUR URGES MR. BILL GATES TO SET UP A CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE ON HEALTH CARE THROUGH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA

Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dr. C.P.Thakur has urged Mr. William (Bill) H. Gates, Chairman of Microsoft Corporation Inc., Washington D.C. to set up a Centre of Excellence in India focussing on Health Care through Information Technology. In his letter addressed to Mr. Bill Gates during his recent visit to India, Dr. C.P.Thakur has sought his fullest cooperation in promoting health care facilities in India with the help of information technology. India has very strong built up in I.T. sector and hence I.T. can be of immense health for providing better health care facilities even to the remotest corners in the country with the application of telemedicines.28

India has rich tradition of its own systems of medicine like Yoga, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani. Government is making the best efforts to put entire knowledge on the web sites so that maximum number of people in the world could reap the benefits of Indian Systems of Medicines.

CHAPTER: 2INTRODUCTION TO TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY:

The Indian entertainment industry is a subject of national pride, international interest and media hype. The entertainment industry

29

is a convergence of creativity and commerce. India and Chin were celebrated for their abilities in entertainment right from the eighteenth century. Entertainment in India was a powerful driver of social transformation. Several powerful films focused on burning social issues. The greatness of Indian entertainment lay in its timelessness and traditional glory. The Indian media and entertainment industry out-performed the economy in 2003 and it grew at a rate of 17 percent in 2004 to approximately Rs 22,500 crore from Rs 19,200 crore in 2003. The growth in the Indian entertainment industry is primarily driven by an increase in television viewer ship and improved realizations from television subscription and film exhibition. Indias position in global entertainment industry Although India has the largest depth and diversity in entertainment today, but it is nowhere in terms of dollar values. India has lost its pre-eminent position in the world of entertainment. The global media and entertainment market is worth a huge one trillion US dollars. USA makes up about half of this market. USA also makes up a third to two-third of this market in virtually every segment- from music, radio, television distribution, amusement parks, newspaper publishing and books. USA makes about 450 movies a year and earns $32 billion while India makes 800 movies a year and earns only $0.5 billion. The same stands true for the Indian music industry also. In television, India has about 90 national channels which is more or less the same number of channels that USA has. But the revenues earned by Indian television industry is less than one-hundredth of that of the US television industry. In aggregate terms, Indian entertainment industry adds up to a meager $2 billion in revenues. This is just 0.5 percent of that of USA and 0.2 percent of that of the world. In short, the participation of Indian entertainment in the trillion dollar global media and entertainment industry is marginal at present. All this is undoubtedly due to the huge difference in GDP of USA and India. Indias GDP is30

estimated to grow from $500 billion to several trillion US dollars and the entertainment industry in India has the potential to grow 100 times to $200 billion in 20 years.

Indian Television Industry:The television industry in India, which is expected to take a lions share in contribution to the total revenues of the media and entertainment industry, has undergone a major transformation over the last few years. From a single public service sector broadcaster, television has grown into a thriving industry with over 300 channels being beamed across India. With approximately 8.5 crore television households, India is the third highestmarket in the world, behind China and USA. The Indian television industrys subscription revenues from distribution, television and cable advertising and software exports accounted for 63 percent, 33 percent and 4 percent respectively of the total television revenues in 2003. Revenues from television are expected to grow at a CAGR of 17 percent over the next 5 years to Rs 28,852 crore approximately by 2008.

31

Indian Movie Industry:The Indian movie industry is the most popular source of entertainment contributing about 23 percent to the Rs 19,200 crore entertainment pie. Industry players are recognizing the need for improvements in order to unlock the significant growth potential in the industry. The Indian movie industry is expected to grow at approximately 18 percent CAGR to reach Rs 10,100 crores by 2008 from the level of Rs 4,500 crores in year 2003.

Indian Music Industry:The Indian music industry is worth Rs 1680 crore, going by the figures of year 2004, India being one of the largest markets in the world in terms of units sold. It is slated to grow at a CAGR of 8 percent and would be worth Rs 1840 crore by year 2005. In line with the general outlook for the global music industry and the increasing digital piracy, certain key shifts: as the emergence of a more participative model where the film producer and the music company share the risks and rewards proportionately; higher investment by the film and music segments in the encrypting technology, digital distribution; increased organized retailing of music through large format retail outlets which will increase the sale of legitimate music and reduce distribution costs and thus improve margins are important which is likely to have a positive impact on the music industry.

Digital age providing endless opportunities!32

The digital age gives the ability to make the Indian entertainment industry one of the largest creators of wealth for India. Consequently, it will help raise Indias GDP and regain its global leadership in entertainment. Digital entertainment is creating new domains for entertainment. At present, different forms of entertainment be it music, radio, movies or television is Offered through distinct devices and different settings. But the digital age is converting them to one platform in the virtual world. This convergence is creating new domains such as animation, gaming, edutainment and virtual tourism. Not only this, digital entertainment is fostering new opportunities for creativity. It can put extremely powerful low cost tools into the hands of people in their homes. It will be possible to use digital tools in graphics, animation and music to compose a creative expression. Apart from this, digital entertainment is giving consumers the opportunity to avail entertainment in anytime, any-place, any-format mode and on-demand. They can be available on phones, watches, headgears, cars, trains, planes and even on lamp-posts. Last but not the least, it is enlarging the revenues pie. In olden days, we had limited prints distributed to territories sequentially but with digital entertainment it will be possible to digitally release a movie simultaneously to millions of customers. This will lead to huge revenues in just a few hours and digital entertainment will ring cash registers.

33

Challenges of DoordarshanThe digital age presents India with a wonderful opportunity to regain its past glory in the entertainment sector. This is because India will soon have the largest digital infrastructure in the world. In the recent past, the world has been recognizing that India is the second largest market for media and entertainment. Not only this, India also has the opportunity to emerge as a global hub for digital entertainment. But with these opportunities come several challenges. The foremost being that of infrastructure. India has the challenge of Building a broadband digital network to reach every city, every village, Every home and every office. The second challenge is that of human resources. Building, operating and maintaining such an infrastructure requires millions of trained34

engineers, operators and technicians. The third challenge lies in technology. Building an overarching broadband network calls for huge server farms and new devices have to be developed. The fourth challenge is for the business of entertainment. Indian entertainment has to expand its reach in global markets. Indian entertainment has to be transformed to create entertainment for diverse consumers in different markets. The final challenge is for the government. Government has to facilitate digital entertainment evolve as an industry. The entertainment industry currently is highly fragmented and disorganized and the government has to facilitate a corporate framework in entertainment. Inter-company comparison A study of the financials for the quarter ended December 04 for some of the companies like Zee Telefilms, NDTV, Balaji Telefilms and TV-18 in the media and entertainment industry, we found that Balaji, NDTV and TV Today reported y-o-y higher sales in Q3FY05 while Zees top line reported a 10 percent fall and TV Today by 7 percent mainly on account of fall in their advertising revenues. NDTV revenues surged 120 percent on account of increased advertising revenues. The operating margins of TV 18 and NDTV increased in Q3FY05 as compared with Q3FY04 on the back of top line growth and rein on expenditure. Balajis and TV Todays expenses and Zees top line performance led to a fall in the operating margins in Q3FY05.35

As regards the net profits, NDTV and TV 18 were the only companies showing shining bottom-line in Q3FY05 as compared with the corresponding quarter last year. The strong top line growth coupled with a tight control on expenditure made them fare much better than their peers in the industry.

Mcap/Sales at 3.3x for Balaji Telefilms is lower than that of Zee at 4.4x, TV 18 at 4.7x, TV Today at 3.8x and NDTV at 7.1x. Future perfect! India has the opportunity to emerge as a global hub for digital36

entertainment. Indian entertainment has the ability to offer a whole range of services for the world in digital entertainment-from content andanimation to distribution. India has the opportunity to combine several factors to create a whole new ecosystem in entertainment. India has the opportunity to take a great leap and regain its global leadership in entertainment. India can target a 100-fold growth in the entertainment industry in 20 years to reach a size of $200 billion and has an opportunity to bring about an entertainment revolution.

Part:2 Industry informationVITRIFIED-DEMAND SUPPLY SCENARIOWith the unique characteristics, vitrified tiles are intended to rapidly substitute the conventional flooring concept. At present the demand of the vitrified tiles in India is around 200000 sq. meters per day, which was just 15000 sq. meters before a decade. Because of its superior Quality & Price competitiveness, this demand is likely to increase 30% to 40% per year. Against the demand of 200000 sq. meters per day, Indias present production capacity is 120000 sq. meters per day and hence around 35% to 40% is shortfall. These short supplies are being met by imports. Hence, there is ample scope for the growth at present in India. China has a local demand of 24 lacks sq meters per day and is producing around 27 lacks sq meters per day. Hence china is exporting around 10% to 12% of its total production. Average consumption of the world is around 45 lacks sq meters per day and it is increasing as the vitrified Tiles is a new concept for flooring. Hence, growing production capacity always falls shorter than the increase in the demands. So, there are plenty of possibilities for growth internationally. The per head ceramic tiles consumption in India is 0.13 sq meters as compared to 1.60 sq meters in china and 3 to 5 sq meters in Europe and it is increasing which conforms great development opportunities for vitrified tiles in India.
