There’s enough written about Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate (SMJ) on Star Plus and aired simultaneously on various other channels. Similar shows have aired on Star News (now ABP News) and IBN7 in the past, but it required the presence of an Aamir Khan and a general entertainment channel like Star Plus to give the concept some scale.

SMJ has not done fantastically in terms of ratings, but it’s got its benefactors alright. These are in the form of sponsors as well as the Reliance Foundation for some valuable aid. More importantly, it has created an impact.
