New Delhi, Nov 12 (IBNS): Prasar Bharati has taken up plans to make the programmes of AIR and Doordashan more attractive to the people and to improve the quality of broadcast and telecast.

Nov 12 is observed as National Broadcasting Day to mark Mahatma Gandhi's first visit to AIR, New Delhi and his broadcast to the countrymen on this day in 1947.
