North East Round Up’, which is telecast on DD North East as well as on DD National every Sunday, has completed its 50th episode and in view of the enthusiastic response to this programme, the producers have decided to include more facets of the region in it. As DD is striving to improve its TRP with more interesting programmes, DD North East has gone ahead to showcase the best of the region. The ‘North East Round Up’ is one such effort to highlight the myriad aspects of life and living of the region with focus on the lesser known facets. “There’s no denying the fact that the overall scenario in the North East is changing for the better and there is a buzz of positivity. ‘North East Round Up’ is trying to portray that aspect with utmost sincerity with emphasis on soft stories on places of interest, historical importance, tourist destinations, the wide rainbow of culture and tradition, stories of success, local industries, entrepreneurship and development as a whole,” said Surajit Sinha Roy, producer of the programme.
According to Roy, this unique programme has been possible because of the support from all the DD Kendras of North East and the support from each and everyone at PPC (NE). “There is no denying the fact about the role that DD plays as a public service broadcaster. Even in the changed scenario of TV media in this country DD has been silently playing the proactive role of a catalytic force in the overall development process, preservation of culture, tradition, information, education and much more. Viewers of this country share an emotional bonding with all the channels of Doordarshan like DD News, DD National, DD Sports and DD North East etc,” said Roy.
