Sir
It pains’ me to bring to your kind notice the deteriorating quality of the T.V. programmes telecast by Delhi Doordarshan. As a result of their poor quality, the viewership has gone very low. There is hardly one who would like to switch on your channel except for the national news. People are increasingly taking to other channels like Zee, Star, Jain, etc. So it is suggested that the quality of Doordarshan programmes should be improved to satisfy the interest and liking of the viewers. The practice of retelecasting old programmes, again and again, should be given up. A programme should be given for a second time only on great public demand, and not merely to kill time. Talented artists should be engaged who can make the programmes life-like and more interesting. The feature-films shown on the T.V. should be new ones and of high quality. The interest of sports-lovers should also be kept in mind. I hope all this will help Doordarshan to revive its old popularity.
 Yours faithfully
K.B. Panikkar
