Public broadcaster Doordarshan has finally decided to make some money out of its huge treasure of content. It is currently involved in converting its entire archive into digital format which it is also keen to monetise. On the other hand, the broadcaster is also looking at creating its own web portal to disseminate content of national importance, free of cost.

Two media agencies are being identified that will assist it in marketing this treasure trove. Recently, an expression of interest (EoI) was floated by Doordarshan and in the RFP (request for proposal) process, the names will be announced, said Doordarshan deputy general CK Jain while speaking exclusively to indiantelevision.com on the sidelines of IDOS 2014 in Goa .The tender process will take nearly six months, by the end of which, Jain hopes that it will have a longer list of digital content.

Doordarshan really has a good archive. If they decide to monetise it, there is a huge market for it

DD News has improved very much since new government is formed.
I think now they have lots of news to cover which they hasn't during inactive UPA days :D

Infact because of UPA they deduct the portion of Modi s Masala Making Interview which other channels grabbed but they didn't :p
