The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) will run a programme on environment for half an hour every week on Doordarshan beginning with June 5. S P Gautam, the chairman of CPCB told Governance Now that they are doing this to increase environmental awareness.

“Since June 5 is the world environment day, so we will telecast a programme around 11 or 11.30 in the morning on the national broadcaster that day,” he said. Gautam said that the weekly day and timings have not been fixed yet and will be done soon.

Gautam said that the programme will talk about the various environmental policies in the country and how best they can be implemented. “It will also tell people how they can pitch in to save the environment,” added Gautam.
