Operationalisation of the Indian National Satellite (INSAT) series and the National TV Network in 1982, provided students with a ringside seat to view the latest developments in any field. UGC began its transmission of Countrywide Classroom (CWCR) from 15 th August, 1984. Telecast twice a day for the past twelve years through Doordarshan's National Network, CWCR has created a niche audience of youth and adults in cities, small towns and remote areas devoid of adequate educational facilities.
