Doordarshan turned 61 today bringing back memories of a golden period when entertainment in the country revolved around serials such as Mahabharata, Fauji and Malgudi Days.

Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting, Prakash Javadekar extended his greetings on the Foundation Day of India's public broadcaster.

"Doordarshan is a part of his life. Doordarshan gave many good programs from Ramayana, Mahabharata to the unknown. Even today, India's public service broadcaster Doordarshan, DDNews, DDKisan, DDBharati, DDNational and DDRetro are connected continuously through so many channels. Happy #DoordarshanDay!" wrote Javadekar.
