Television then became synonymous with the people at large thanks to the central governments' initiative of telecasting agricultural and educational programs. The programs were a success and then people began to have a fondness for Television. The effectiveness and impact of the program led to tremendous growth of TV sets and the increase in popularity of Television in India. As years progressed, there were various categories of programs that were introduced.
