or the last twenty one years, Chitrahar has endeavored to present the rich, vibrant culture of South Asia to the Indo-Pak community as well as to members of the American mainstream via our television program on various cable channels throughout Chicagoland. Chitrahar is an informative and entertaining program, and is the pulse of the South-Asian community. Chitrahar is scaling new heights every year, demonstrating its dynamism, strength, and versatility. It not only provides the youth of the community with a platform to express their talents and creative energies, but also facilitates cross-cultural understanding by focusing on issues they may face while growing up in a bicultural society. Chitrahar Television produced and directed by Vichitra Nayyar is here to aid in the following:

• In the projection of Indo-Pak culture and heritage
• In strengthening the bonds between the people of Asian origin & main stream Americans
• In providing information, education & entertainment on a local, national, &
• international level
• In promoting local talent, community organization & stimulating audience participation
• In bringing awareness of social & cultural adjustments with the Chitrahar Special Presentations on "Women", The Youth Dilemma", "Old Age" & "Mixed Marriages"
• Above all else, to give a commitment to the 'Youth,' their needs, their aspirations, their potential, their goals and their achievement

Our youth are the leaders of tommorrow. By instilling in them the desire to learn about themselves,they will learn to accept other beliefs, deals, and cultures. Our efforts are to develop this duality within them in the most positive manner so future generations may benefit as well. We are able to achieve this through your loyal support and encouragement. So join us for a unique and innovative program of ethnic and folk culture, spices with Western influences. Watch as we unfold the world before you.
Thank you.
