Answer 3

TV Services were introduced to cover major cities in India during 1979-1980 - to coincide with the Asian Games.

Earlier to this only Delhi and couple of other cities had TV services with very limited hours of broadcast (around 3 hours per day).

UGC - educational programs were very popular during that time.

Answer 4

Yes very much in place there use to be Chtrahar on one of the day which use to have Punjabi songs.*

Answer 5

TV was very much there in India, in late 70s.

During those days, Mono TV were more popular.

Colour TV came in India in 1978 in few house, and from 1980 onwards Colour TV population started growing rapidly.

There after, multi channels and private channels in addition to Doordarshan.

In Punjab, Amritsar, Jallandar, Ludhiana and Patiala, in addition many other towns of Punjab TV was there.

During those days very popular serial was " HUM   LOG"

You appear to be NRI and visited Punjab in late 70s, and you could not notice TV at that time.

Good to have bond with your home land @:))
