'Madha TV is not just a television. It´s a mission; media mission. We give programs to help the people to be deeply rooted in Christ and Catholic faith. And so Madha TV is a family. It´s a praying family praying for each other.�

There are five separate media zones throughout India, and this station offers a wide range of programs in each one, including Biblical explanations, the importance of women in the Church, the holy rosary, children's programs and news provided by Rome Reports in their native language. 

In addition to catechetical programs, Indian traditions, art and culture are highlighted. It is the only Catholic satellite station used to benefit all Tamil-speaking people inside and outside of India.
