Rashtra TV marks a historic milestone in Goa’s media landscape as the state’s first national Hindi satellite news and infotainment channel. Headquartered in Goa, Rashtra TV is envisioned as a national media platform committed to India’s growth, unity, development and progress, while giving Goa a stronger voice across the country.
The channel is the collective vision of its three promoters – Ranjit Mangaonkar, Chairman; Sandeep Kerkar, Editor-in-Chief; and Gautam Kharangate, CEO – with Apex Mediaweb Private Limited strategically associated with Rashtra TV, supporting its media, digital, content, technology and strategic initiatives.
Their shared mission is to build a credible and responsible media institution rooted in truth, integrity, nationalism and public service, delivering accurate and unbiased journalism while highlighting stories that contribute to nation-building. Operating 24×7, Rashtra TV brings national, regional and international news, along with business features, documentaries, panel discussions, special reports and inspiring stories. Its programming focuses strongly on India’s economic growth, entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, education, governance, defence, culture, youth, women, sports and social development.
At the same time, Rashtra TV gives Goa a stronger presence on the national media map by showcasing its entrepreneurs, innovators, educators, artists, youth, women, tourism, culture and development initiatives and connecting these stories with the larger Indian narrative.
A defining feature of Rashtra TV is its emphasis on grassroots and people-centric journalism, giving a platform to voices and stories that deserve national attention. The channel works with government institutions, educational organisations, industry, corporates, startups, NGOs and community groups to promote economic progress, social development and public awareness.
Rashtra TV also aims to nurture the next generation of media professionals and position Goa as an emerging hub for national broadcasting, media innovation and digital communication.
More than a television channel, Rashtra TV aspires to be a bridge between Goa and India – bringing India closer to its people, taking Goa’s stories to the nation, and contributing to a stronger, more informed and united India
