DD Kashir

NEW DELHI: The three agencies which had been shortlisted by Doordarshan to undertake the channel packaging work for its channel DD Kashir can now submit their bid amounts by 29 September 2017.

DD Kashir, a 24x7 Doordarshan satellite channel, was launched in 2003. It is planning to bring fresh content to showcase richness, variety and diversity of the local culture. The channel’s USP is to attract young people of Jammu & Kashmir.

The three shortlisted agencies are -- Prime Focus Technologies Pvt Ltd, Beehive Systems Pvt Ltd, and Grasshopper Media Pvt Ltd.

However, the Scrutiny Committee which went through the tender documents of these three agencies had pointed out some flaws in the documents, and asked them to rectify these by 22 August 2017.

DD Kashir had issued a similar tender for April but has made some changes following feedback and changes made by DD directorate-general, particularly relating to the payment mode and sought fresh tenders in June with 29 June as the last date.

In June this year, Doordarshan had invited proposals for telecast of programmes under the commissioning category in eleven different categories for DD Kashir.

According to an announcement on the Doordarshan website at that time, Prasar Bharati is making special efforts in Jammu and Kashmir to promote and nurture talent, provide a platform to deserving producers/artists from Jammu & Kashmir as well as from outside to encourage production of better programmes for Doordarshan viewers.
