  • Doordarshan modifies Arunprabha packaging tenders date, episodic price up to Rs 1 m

    NEW DELHI: Pubcaster Doordarshan has modified the 21 June date for uploading the modified request for proposal for selection of agency for channel packaging work for its DD Arunprabha channel being launched for the north-eastern Indian states.

    Technical bids will be opened the next day, but no date has been announced for opening of financial bids.

    It said that submission and opening of bids will be through e-tendering and the technical and financial bids have to be submitted online and the document can be downloaded from the web sites.

    Earlier in mid-January, it had extended to the end of that month the final date for receiving proposals for commissioned programmes in seven different categories for the new channel. DD had said that preference will be given to Programmes based on themes and subjects relevant to NER.

    The proposals from reputed producers/production houses are under Fixed Budget Mode of Commissioned Programmes Category and the episodic price ranges between Rs 800,000 to Rs One Million.

    DD Arunprabha will be a 24×7 satellite channel originating from DDK, Itanagar. Programmes on DD Arunprabha would show richness, variety and diversity of local culture. The channel would seamlessly integrate NER with the entire country. The channel’s USP will be to attract young people of NER with contemporary entertainment shows embedded with informative content.

    The invitation is part of efforts of Prasar Bharati’s special efforts in North East Region (NER) to promote and nurture talent, provide a platform to deserving producers/artistes from NER as well as from outside to encourage production of better programmes for DD viewers.

    Programme proposals for DD Arunprabha are Daily Soap/Serials; Thrillers, Mythological serials, telefilms, quiz shows/magazine formats with celebrity anchorperson, travelogue in documentary format or with celebrity, and reality shows.

    In another modification, DD said: “The show reel of a programme should depict/showcase the work already done by the producer/production house. It should also depict the credentials of the producer/production house.”

    All other terms and conditions of the RFP including details of payment remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

  • Vihaan bags BSNL’s north-east connectivity project

    NEW DELHI: Indigenous telecom equipment manufacturer Vihaan Network Limited has bagged a Rs 16.48 billion telecom infrastructure project of state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd for providing connectivity in over 4000 villages in remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.

    Emerging as the lowest bidder in the tender opened for the first phase of the project yesterday by BSNL, VNL will get whole of Arunachal Pradesh which will be around 70 per cent share in the first phase of the North East mobile Connectivity.

    This project is part of the Rs 53.3618 billion worth Comprehensive Telecom Development Plan for the North-Eastern Region (NER) comprising eight states which was approved by the Union Cabinet in September 2014.

    The project envisages providing mobile coverage in 8,621 unconnected villages and seamless coverage along National Highways in the North-East region through 6,673 towers, and will be funded from the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF).

    The Project earmarked by BSNL for the domestic technology players would give the remaining 30 per cent to second lowest bidder HFCL with around 20 per cent price differential at Rs. 19.7 billion, but will be executed at the same price as that of the lowest bid.

    VNL has been given the responsibility of creating the infrastructure across bordering state of Arunachal Pradesh while the other partner will execute the project in two districts (Karbi Anglong & Dima Haso) of Assam.

    VNL chairman Rajiv Mehrotra said, “It is both a challenge and opportunity for the home grown company and we consider the awarding of the project is also the recognition of our work for connecting the Left Wing Extremist areas in 10 states. We are committed to successfully complete the Prime Minister’s dream project and wish to express our gratitude to the communications minister Manoj Sinha and BSNL chairman Anupam Shrivastava for reposing faith on us.”

    Under the Phase-I of the project, which is to be executed by state owned operator BSNL, 2817 sites are to be installed to cover 4118 remotely located villages and tough terrains in Arunachal Pradesh and two districts of Assam. Projects are to be executed solely through indigenous technology. As per the project condition, the lowest bidder, Vihaan Networks (VNL) in this case, will get to roll out around 1,893 mobile towers in Arunachal Pradesh.

    “Today, such a concerted move will also fulfill the government’s vision of Make in India and bring in significant indigenization which is the need of the hour. We hope that with the successful completion of this project, the North East states will be seamlessly connected with other parts of the country through mobile coverage.”

    As part of the project Eco-friendly green Mobile towers will be erected by VNL using its own technology and will be fuelled by solar power.

    VNL had also completed successfully a BSNL project last year for creating infrastructure in LWE areas after it bagged the contract as the lowest bidder in December last year for providing voice and data connectivity in the most challenging terrain.

    The Union cabinet then chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had accorded an approval to install and maintain 2,199 mobile towers in Naxal-affected states. Funding came through the USOF (universal service obligation fund) supported scheme.

    VNL was instrumental in executing a major part of this project by installing around 1,315 solar empanelled towers in the LWE region in record time.
