AIR programmes to be digitised

            With an aim to preserve rich treasure of archival programmes of the All- India Radio (AIR) produced in the past 60 years, Prasar Bharati has launched a digitisation project of archives (South). Memorable performances of some great artists from south India which are in the analog mode, will be converted into digital mode.

       Programmes like devotional music, harikathas, burrakathas, drama, light music and other programmes produced by the All-India Radio will be preserved under this project. Apart from speeches of eminent personalities, vedic recitations, light music, folk music and drama will also be a part of the digital archives.

      Inaugurating the digitisation project here today(25-05-10) at Hyderabad , Prasar Bharati member (personnal) M Siva Kumar said the public service broadcaster is aiming at preserving the rich cultural heritage of the country through digitisation.
