Google India on Tuesday announced a continued
long-term collaboration with Prasar Bharati to bring all the live action on YouTube and
Google Search for events of national importance such as the Independence Day
and Republic Day telecast.
Building on this collaboration Google will
also work towards digitizing a wealth of content from over two decades from All
India Radio and Doordarshan on Google Arts & Culture, and host
digital archives of Prasar Bharti in over 12 Indian languages on YouTube.
As part of the collaboration, viewers from
across the globe will be able to watch full parade and Prime Minister’s speech
live on Doordarshan’s YouTube channel, as India celebrates its 73rd
Independence Day on 15th August, 2019. Moreover, the link to the YouTube live
feed will be made available on Google Search -- both mobile phones and desktop,
when users search for ‘India Independence Day’. The live stream will commence
at 6:30 AM IST.
Chetan Krishnaswamy, Director, Public Policy
at Google India and South Asia, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with
Prasar Bharati in promoting their library of rich content, as well as promoting
Indian events of national importance to the Internet users across the world.
With this collaboration, we are hoping to bring the best of Prasar Bharati’s
broadcast programming to digital users across age-groups, in varied languages,

According to Shashi Shekhar, CEO, Prasar
Bharati, "The partnership between Prasar Bharati & Google has been
instrumental in bringing content of National interest on digital platform to a
range of audiences globally. Some of these events include Independence
Day-2018, Republic Day 2019, General Election 2019 etc. The partnership has
also played a key role in creating a mindshare for the Public Broadcaster among
the young audience who are digitally savvy and are increasingly consuming media
