News agency PTI reported that SGPC general secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal said on Thursday that the process of launching SGPC’s YouTube channel has been going on for the past several months. He said that this channel would be a part of the telecast of religious programs and other activities of SGPC. He said that SGPC has already earmarked 50 lakh rupees for this. A studio will also be set up. However, SGPC sources said that the YouTube channel is likely to be used for broadcasting live Gurbani as well. An executive member of SGPC said on the condition of anonymity, SGPC is exploring all options. In this episode, there is a proposal to rent satellite TV channel license. Someone even offered to license us for free. However, there are several issues to consider. So we are evaluating all aspects. The issue that SGPC is concerned about is that many elderly devotees will not be able to access Gurbani on YouTube as easily. That is why he is keen to start a satellite channel and the YouTube channel can serve as a temporary arrangement till the satellite channel becomes a reality.
