SHRI CHANDRA SEKHAR BELLANA:

SHRI SANJAY KAKA PATIL:

Will the Minister of INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING be pleased to state:

## THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING; AND

## ANSWER MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS (SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR)

(a) & (b):    In view of emerging trends in Broadcasting, and availability  of  'DD  FreeDish',  a  free-to-air,  Direct  to  Home  (DTH) Service of Prasar Bharati in the country (carrying more than 150 TV channels  including  51  educational  channels,  without  any  monthly subscription), the Analog Terrestrial TV (ATT) Transmitters carrying only  one  channel  have  lost  their  relevance.  The  signals  of  'DD FreeDish'  can  be  received  in  the  country  with  the  help  of  small sized  low  cost  dish  receiver  units  except  in  Andaman  &  Nicobar Island.  According  to  market  estimates,  there  are  more  than  40 million  households  with  set  top  boxes  capable  of  receiving  DD FreeDish DTH channels. Accordingly, Prasar Bharati has decided to phase  out  the  obsolete  ATT.  So  far,  more  than  1000  Doordarshan ATTs have been closed in phased manner barring around 50 ATTs in strategic locations in the country.

Low viewership of ATTs, no incremental revenue and high maintenance  cost  of  the  old  outlived Analogue  terrestrial  TV Transmitters and emerging trends in Broadcast Technology are the key factors driving the decision of closure of ATTs. (c) & (d): Phasing  out  of  obsolete  analog  transmitters  will  make valuable  spectrum  available  for  new  &  emerging  technological solutions for digital terrestrial broadcasting and other services.

There are enough funds with the scheme to fulfill all the liabilities of the scheme for the States which have met the entire requirement for release of second tranche of funds . The Ministry has already sought additional resources for the scheme.

The Audit Report and  Audited Utilization Certificates  are  required  to  be  submitted within  6  months  of  the  close  of  the  preceding  Financial  Year.   If  the  proposal  for  second tranche  is  submitted  after  1 st October,  then  the  Audit  Report  and  Audited  Utilization Certificates  (UCs)  of  the  previous  financial  year  along  with  other  documents  are  also required. The funds can only be released after receipt of Audited UC and report of previous financial  year.  Some  of  the  States  are  delaying  the  submission  of  Audit  reports  and  other required documents for funds release resulting in overall delay of fund release.

Fund  release  to  States/UTs  is  a  continuous  process  and  Central  Government  is committed in making funds available keeping in view the demand for work. The Ministry seeks additional funds as and when required for meeting the demand for work on the ground.
