Prasar Bharati, with whom we work closely, currently provides key, enabling support.

Doordarshan meets approximately half of our production costs and provides free airtime.

UNESCO is one of our key allies. They support us in many ways with insights and expertise including financial support towards organising an annual international film festival, the Open Frame, that showcases some of the best short films from across the globe along with PSBT’s own work. The films are invited in response to an exclusive call for entries by UNESCO, on our behalf.

We have been accorded affiliate status to the United Nations and look forward to working in partnership with them to promote the agendas of public broadcasting.

The Max Mueller Bhavan partners with us for the annual festival for the Best of INPUT(INterNational PUblic Television). INPUT exists to encourage the highest quality television programming worldwide; to support television as a service to the public; to promote discussion and debate about the television craft; and to serve as a global meeting point for those who make television.

We seek the active participation of the community so that we may more precisely and accurately reflect its concerns and needs. We look to the not-for-profit sector, NGOs and other voluntary agencies with similar, democratic agendas to work with us in using the powerful non-print media to impact society in incisive and positive ways.

We seek to provide public access to radio and television to voice their concerns on a range of issues of significance to the community. We make available our expertise in supervising and managing the production of quality programmes that will be identified as a genre and promoted and advertised to maximise viewership.

We invite and need the support and contributions of national and international agencies and philanthropic organisations to participate in this extraordinary and exciting initiative to transform the image-making capacities of the world’s largest democracy.

In order to further our commitment to bringing broadcasting into the public domain, PSBT works with other civil society groups to promote, support and propose legislation that will facilitate the promotion of Public Service Communications, directed to the larger public good and is available to play an advisory role to organisations and agencies on issues and matters related to public service broadcasting.
