Which of the following led to the expansion of AIR's broadcast activities? |
wars and national tragedies popularity of hindi film songs joining of more women as radio jockey coming of televisions |
wars and national tragedies |
The correct answer is Option (1) → wars and national tragedies "Wars, tragedies and expansion of AIR: Interestingly, wars and tragedies have spurred AIR to expand its activities. The 1962 war with China prompted the launching of a ‘talks’ unit to put out a daily programme. In August 1971, with the Bangladesh crisis looming, the News Service Division introduced news on the hour, from 6 o’ clock in the morning to midnight. It took another crisis, the tragic assassination of Rajeev Gandhi in 1991, for AIR to take one more step of having bulletins round the clock." |
