Sansad TV is an Indian government television channel, which broadcasts the proceedings of the two Houses of Indian Parliament (Bharatiya Sansad) and other public affairs programming. It was formed in March 2021 by amalgamating the existing house channels, Lok Sabha TV and the Rajya Sabha TV, although separate satellite channels are broadcast for each House.{{cite news | url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/lok-sabha-rajya-sabha-tv-merged-to-create-sansad-tv| title=Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha TV Merged To Create SANSAD TV | agency=All India, Press Trust of India | date=3 March 2021 | accessdate=21 March 2021 }}
