In a situation where there is lack of equipment a three-pronged strategy could<br />
be evolved. In the first phase, with simple available equipment like manual tape<br />
recorders and cheap video cameras, the programs could be produced at the<br />
department studio and transmitted or telecast from the local radio/ TV stations.<br />
In the second phase digital studio and production units could be set up.<br />
In the third phase self owned radio and TV stations could be established.<br />
