The
CTFB plans to produce all types of programming for the interest
of the children and will telecast these programmes via the
electronic media in the country and overseas.
The
non-profit organisation will work together with the country's
television networks to develop innovative children's programming.
In addition, it will also provide training for writers, directors
and producers of children's shows.
The
organisation also plans to undertake production-oriented research
and evaluation on children's programming, organise a children's
TV summit in Bangladesh every two years and introduce an award
to encourage quality children's products.
States
CTFB secretary Fahmidul Islam has been quoted in media reports
as saying that, the CTFB is meant to be a platform for Bangladeshi
children to voice their concerns on the country's social and
economic development. "The CTFB will allow the children
to best utilise their latent talent by allowing them to participate
actively in various socio-economic programmes," he said.
