It reinforces our commitment to offer our viewers a new way to look at the world – inviting them to Live Curious: learn and explore constantly about science, technology, history, culture, nature and wildlife.”
Naga Chaitanya added, “It’s a great initiative to launch the channel in Telugu and reach out to the Telugu speaking audience. I have always been impressed by the rich content of NGC.
