## Doordarshan

It is a constant endeavor of Doordarshan to improve upon its programmes by reviewing  the  content  and  quality  from  time  to  time  with  the  view  to  sustain  the interest of the viewers. Doordarshan has been procuring content through various notified  schemes such as Self Finance Commissioning (SFC), Revenue Sharing Mode  (RSM)  for  producers/simulcast,  Advertisement  Funded  Programme  (AFP) and Acquisition  Category.  The  Revenue  Sharing  Scheme  (Producers/Simulcast) also  allows  Doordarshan  to  collaborate  with  private  channels  for  sourcing  high quality software in the simulcast mode, on favorable terms.

Presently  Doordarshan  is  re-prioritising  its  current  approach  with  a  new policy  on  slot  sales.  The  Prasar  Bharati  Board  has  decided  to  invite  good programmes from production houses to be telecast initially on its National Channel, under this Policy.
