AIR and DD News in India have two five minute and one five minute Sanskrit news bulletins respectively. This is too short. We request AIR and DD to increase each Sanskrit news bulletins to at least fifteen minutes and have a special half-an-hour DD presentation every week, preferably on every Sunday.
The Sanskrit used by the Sanskrit bulletins is world class and understood by every one who knows at least one Indian language. Each news bulletin provides tremendous joy and education to each of its listeners. It is one news bulletin each and every Indian can watch together and enjoy.
