The Human Resource Development (HRD) is set to enter into a partnership which may allow it to establish scores of educational Direct-to-Home (DTH) channels which will cover more than 67 percent of the population.
Sources told PTI that under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), the HRD Ministry had planned to generate educational content and homes through launch of 1,000 Direct- to-Home (DTH) channels.
However the HRD Ministry had sought permission from the I&B Ministry to run 50 such channels initially but was unable to get a license as the guidelines specified that licenses could only be given to entities which are registered under the Companies Act.
