Even now whenever I get chance I quickly switch over to DD1 not because other channels dont show watchable programs.But DD1 has everything in its repertoire to convey the message of harmony and bind indian people in one colour.
The good old days when we used to wait for chitrahaar and then enjoyed with all our family members. The kind of enjoyment we used to devour at that time, cannot be felt now..as nowadays you switch on the television and you start seeing some new film songs. you value something only after being in a scarce state.
The most important thing which I like about DD1 that it shows reliable news unlike the other pompous news channels.
Other than that DD1 has all sorts of programs which you can relish with your family members. It shows wide range of programs on indian farmers to fishermen in the sea without thinking anything in terms of money gain.
