NEW DELHI: Private direct-to-home (DTH) TV service providers– Tata Sky and Airtel – will air the human resource development ministry's free-to-air education channels as the lockdown, imposed to curb the spread of covid-19, has disrupted regular classes for students. “Tata Sky and Airtel DTH (have) acceded to the request of HRD and information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministers, to air three Swayam Prabha channels free on their DTH platforms," the ministry of human resource development (HRD) said.
Swayam Prabha is a bouquet of channels offered by the HRD ministry. They offer open course learning to students in schools and colleges.
