This is just re-packaging of the feature based segment Indradhanush, which was the second half of our 1930 hrs IST flagship programme Aajkal. Now 3 days in a week BBC Hindi will broadcast the old 29 min long programmes- Ek Mulaqat, Aapki baat BBC ke saath and Khel aur khilari. Rest of four days instead of Indradhanush segment, daily 2 features of 14 min each will be aired as a package. All this will be aired from 2000 hours IST. But the same will be repeated again on 2200 hours IST from the Nepal transmitter on 576 kHz. After this repeat broadcast the regular 30 min programme will be aired from 2230 to 2300 hours IST.
