World Television Day 2023

Every year, on November 21, we celebrate World Television Day. This day highlights the important role played by television in our day-to-day lives. A television is more than just an electric device. It provides information about the whole world and shapes the way people think.  

Television was invented by Scottish engineer John Logie Baird in the year 1924. It came to Delhi, India in the year 1959. Since then, television has been a source of entertainment. It is also a super important tool that helps people know about world affairs. 

In 1996, the first Television Forum took place and November 21 was announced as World Television Day. The United Nations General Assembly took this decision. 

The theme for World Television Day in 2023 is “Accessibility.” The United Nations says that this day isn’t just about celebrating the TV itself, but also about the important ideas it brings to our lives. Even though we have social media now, television is still an important part of our daily lives.
