Local Government Division (LGD) with the support of Activating Village Courts in Bangladesh Project has entered a contract with Bangladesh Television (public terrestrial TV channel) to telecast one-minute TV spot on village courts. The spot aims to enhance the knowledge on VCs and accelerate the justice seeking behavior among the rural community. Bangladesh Television (BTV) is airing the spot initially from 12 December 2013 till 29 March 2014. The BTV has also bestowed pick slots to broadcast the spot till 29 March 2014 before news at 8 pm and 10 pm on almost every day. According to the BTV dates of broadcast in December 2013 are 12-17, 19-22 & 24-31. The projects believe continued broadcasting through BTV will enormously contribute in mobilization of key stakeholders in advancing the Village Courts as well as to enhance the awareness on village courts among the target groups, particularly rural dwellers, throughout the country.
