Following the announcement by Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar that DD National will start airing Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan from tomorrow (28 March), demands have intensified for the network to also air Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s Chanakya and B R Chopra’s Mahabharat.
Following Javadekar’s announcement, Prasar Bharti CEO Shashi Shekhar announced that DD National will be airing more iconic content in the next few days.
Stay tuned for more iconic content to come back on Doordarshan over the next few days as you relive the nostalgia while we observe the Lockdown, staying home to save lives.

While thanking the initiative to air Ramayan, many social media users also requested that other epics like Mahabharat and Chanakya also be aired on the network.
#Chanakya too. Each episode is a lesson in understanding nation building. Our culture, our history and lessons that this and future generations must benefit from. Hope with #Ramayan and #Mahabharat Chanakya is also repeated. #stayhomestaysafe https://t.co/2h8atDZj8O via @YouTube https://t.co/bipKr0XqHi
