“The channels launched today will impart training & information for various sectors including education, agriculture, women empowerment, sports among others,” said Chief Minister Anandiben Patel at the inauguration.
“In this 21st century of science and technology, the government is committed to deliver what is best in the field right up to the television sets at homes.”
