Content for Kids Channels Like Disney, Pogo, Hungama Needs to Be Regulated

The Issue

Titu, Chotta Bheem, Fukrey Boys, Little Sigham. These are cartoons for kids that are actually offensive, coarse and objectionable in their content. 


Why do cartoons for kids as small as 3-6 years propagate violence, dishonesty and 'jugaad'? Now more than ever, when the children's access to TV content has spiralled up, we really need a regulatory authority that puts out content that is creative, informative and educative for kids. 

The kind of language cartoon channels use leaves a longer impact on children. Kids, especially post lockdown, have little or no access to outdoors. So, shouldn't TV channels for kids be more mindful of the content that they put out? 

In fact, not only the cartoon content but also the kind of advertisements that come in between the shows need to be thoroughly looked at. For instance a Policy bazzar.com advertisement has got nothing to do with kids and should not be shown. The ads talk about illness and death that is very scarring for a child to listen to.


Urging the content creators and channels to be more mindful.
