Indigenous Television is Nepal's (in fact South Asia's) first and only national-level indigenous community television. Launched on August 9, 2016, Indigenous Television is the only TV channel in Nepal which produces and broadcasts programs in diverse languages being spoken in the country. Founded by a group of indigenous journalists, it strives to amplify the voices of voiceless and marginalized communities, preserve and promote their languages, cultural practices, indigenous skills, knowledge and wisdoms, facilitate dialogue, exchange of information and stories, support to understand constitutional, fundamental and human rights, also does foster unity to address common concerns through interactive programs and greater exchange of views. We believe that the app doesn't only enable users to watch live streaming, but also get connected from across the globe through mobile devices and share this app to their near and dear ones. More features will be added in the near future to help viewers to stay close to Indigenous Television and to stay in touch with their community. The Indigenous TV App is a joint initiative of Indigenous Television and New IT Venture Corp.
