Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1959

Television broadcasting began in India as an experimental service in Delhi on 15 September 1959, so 1959 is correct. In 1976, the service was separated from All India Radio and given the name ‘Doordarshan’; therefore, 1976 is not the year broadcasting began. Exam tip: Remember 1959 for the start of television broadcasting and 1976 for Doordarshan becoming separate from AIR.
