UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Swayam Prabha consists of a set of dedicated DTH channels that broadcast educational content round-the-clock for school, higher and professional education. It complements online platforms by reaching learners who may have limited internet access. The stem describes educational DTH channels telecasting curriculum-based programmes 24x7, which matches Swayam Prabha precisely. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option A:
The initiative is aligned with the broader digital education agenda and provides recorded lectures from premier institutions in multiple disciplines. Its focus on continuous broadcasting of curriculum content distinguishes it from general television channels, confirming that Swayam Prabha is intended here.

Option B:
Gyan Darshan is another educational channel but not the specific DTH bouquet of channels described as a group of multiple 24x7 curriculum-based channels. Therefore, Option A is not as accurate as Swayam Prabha for this stem.

Option C:
Doordarshan News is a general news channel and does not focus on structured educational programmes based on curricula. Hence, it does not fit the description of the question, making Option C incorrect.

Option D:
Digital India TV is not the established name of a recognised bouquet of educational DTH channels. While Digital India is an umbrella programme, this specific channel name does not match the initiative described, so Option D is not appropriate.
