Doordarshan Lok Sabha (also referred to as Lok Sabha TV) (LSTV) is a satellite TV channel which broadcasts the proceedings of the Lok Sabha, the lower House of the Indian Parliament [ [http://164.100.24.209/newls/LSTV-eng.pdf Introduction to Loksabha TV] Official website.] . Its sister channel Doordarshan Rajya Sabha covers the sessions of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament.

History

Select Parliamentary proceedings have been telecast in India since 1989, when the President's address to Parliament was shown on live television. After 1994 the Question Hours of both Houses were broadcast live on alternate weeks on both satellite television and All India Radio. The broadcasts were scheduled to ensure that on a given week proceedings in both Houses were aired, one on TV and the other on radio.

In 2006, Loksabha TV (LSTV) became a 24-hour TV channel, broadcasting live action from the Paliament house and also various cultural and educational programs and panel discussions, when the Lok Shabha is not in session [ [http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k6/july/july269.htm Parliament television channel 'Lok Sabha TV'] ]

Dedicated Parliamentary Channels

With efforts of the Lok Sabha and Prasar Bharati, in 2004 two dedicated satellite channels were set up to telecast live the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament. These channels also air other national ceremonies, such as the Oath-taking ceremony of the President of India, conferring of awards to Parliamentarians, and addresses by foreign dignitaries. Private television channels are allowed to use these feeds subject to conditions laid down by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. In addition video footage of proceedings is stored in the Parliamentary Archives. When Parliament is not in session, these channels air general informative programs, particularly those related to effective government.
