World Television Day 2021

World Television Day is observed on 21 November, every year all over the world to highlight the daily value and impact of television that it plays in communication and globalisation. Television is a mass medium that provides entertainment, education, news, politics, gossip, and so on. It plays a crucial role in society by delivering information. On 21 November and 22 November, 1996, the U.N. held the first World Television Forum. It provided a platform and allowed the media to discuss the importance of TV in delivering information and also its participation in the changing world. It is the single largest source of video consumption which promotes cultural diversity.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, television viewership has increased. Social distancing and work from home have changed life, people now spend time together with their families, take food together, watch their favourite movies or shows together. Nowadays, TV has taken a centre stage at homes for family bonding and entertainment.

Krishnagar Public School, Nadia, amid this global pandemic, virtually observed World Television Day to raise awareness among people about the role that it plays in education and entertainment. The students of Classes 1 & 2 enthusiastically drew their favourite cartoon character whom they see in TV. The colourful paintings of the Tiny Tots were indeed worth praising. The students of Classes 3 & 4 took the initiative in making a toy TV set with cardboard. Amazing work of art was displayed by the Little Angels of the school. The students of Class 5 either drew or pasted the pictures of different types of TV set to show the “Evolution of Television”. The students have showcased their different skills with zest and zeal. The children actively participated in the creative activities with immense excitement.
