Zee Media unleashes network power behind 'Bharat Bhagaya Vidhata'

The initiative showcases angst and aspiration of the common man through a raft of programming across all Zee Media platforms and conversations via #BBV

BestMediaInfo Bureau | Delhi | August 16, 2013

This Independence Day, Zee Media Corporation Ltd. launched a new initiative 'Bharat Bhagaya Vidhata: Loktantra Ka Makeover' that seeks to redefine and focus on 'Democracy in a new light'.

#BBV, features a range of insightful, incisive and visually appealing programming, as cross-platform exercise across Zee Media's entire bouquet of news channels, DNA newspaper and online platforms, and conversations via their respective social media platforms on the hashtag #BBV.

#BBV aims to ensure the Common Man (India's true Bhagya Vidhata) has heightened awareness on the issues beyond the 'tu tu mein mein' of combative electoral politics.

#BBV is an effort to restore every Indian's faith in our democracy and to instill in him the will to fight those who try to demean it by various ulterior ways.

Zee Media's mission is to bring this “Bhagya Vidhata” as the centre of attention with the General Elections scheduled in May 2014.

As a socially-responsible initiative, #BBV seeks to record angst and aspiration of 1.2-billion Indians and, at the same time, question those who have been trusted with positions of political power.

Each week, #BBV with its 360-Degree presence on TV, Print & Online, and social-media platforms, will focus ONE issue, eg, Safety, in the entire week, or Price Rise, Corruption, Employment, Healthcare, Casteism, Education, Economic Disparity, Institutional Activism, Society in Decay, Bijli Sadak Paani, Governance Deficit, Role of Opposition, etc..

Each of these issues affects India's “Bhagya Vidhata” directly; #BBV will sensitize and empower him to push for a solution beyond the stated political agenda.

The show is being powered by rich and eclectic voices such as Zee News editor Sudhir Chaudhary, Bollywood and TV artiste Ashutosh Rana, Miss India Finalist 2002 & Miss Delhi 2001, Divya Jaitly, Zee News anchor Mimansa Mallik, RJs Anant and Saurabh, and Rohit Sardana and Amish Devgan, prime time presenters of the Network.

Each anchor will anchor a specific show in the omnibus Bharat Bhagya Vidhata series, viz, Karamkshetra, Mudda Aapka, Zara Hatt Ke, Ek Naari Aise Bhi, Yuva Maange, Nishane Pe, Kuch Suna Aapne, and India Ka Agenda.

Interactive formats like blogs, debates in structured format on theme of the week will also be unveiled.
