SAARC Audio Visual Exchange (SAVE) Programmes Available in the Secretariat

The initiative taken during the Bangalore Summit in November 1986 to launch a South Asian Broadcasting Programme covering both radio and television led to the establishment of SAVE. The programme launched in 1987 has, over the years, covered several areas of socio-cultural interest and provided useful information on individual member countries. The joint productions of SAVE on specific themes such as environment, disabled persons, women in development and youth have led to greater awareness of the common problems and challenges faced in the region. The Quiz programmes organised under SAVE have received popular support from the youth in the region.

SAARC Secretariat has recently established a Video Library to cater to requests from interested persons seeking more information about the organisation and its members. The Library at present contains most of the SAVE TV programmes both produced by member states and joint productions on specific SAARC year themes and recordings of important SAARC events such as Summits, Ministerial meetings etc. A system of providing copies of these programmes has also been developed.


Following are the titles of the SAVE programmes available at present with the Secretariat.
