Special documentaries on former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the late freedom fighter-educationist Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, who have been named for the Bharat Ratna on eve of birthdays, will be screened by Doordarshan National Thursday.
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's declaration of observing Dec 25 as Good Governance Day, the public broadcaster has lined up the special documentaries for telecast, said a statement.
