Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, inaugurated a special bouquet of programmes on DD National and DD News today in New Delhi as part of the Seva Parv celebrations. The launch ceremony also included the unveiling of promos of several documentaries and series produced by Doordarshan and Prasar Bharati.

Emphasis on Spirit of Karmayog and National Service

Addressing the gathering, Shri Vaishnaw underlined that the new documentaries reflect the ethos of Karmayog—the spirit of selfless service and lifelong dedication exemplified by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the Prime Minister has, from the beginning of his public life, devoted himself wholly to the cause of nation-building, setting aside personal ambitions.

Highlighting India’s transformation under PM Modi’s leadership, Shri Vaishnaw noted that in the past 11 years, India has achieved developmental milestones in a decade that would previously take several decades. He pointed out that India’s villages have witnessed visible progress, while the country has gained global recognition in technology, creativity, social justice, and inclusive growth. As part of his personal contribution to the Seva Parv, the Minister shared that he began the day by donating blood.
