The Satellite Instructional Television Experiment or SITE, was taken up by the Space Applications Centre at Ahmedabad. The Space Applications Centre is a body under the ISRO. The objective of this experiment was to educate illiterate people in rural areas in 20 districts of six Indian states and territories (Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan) via satellite broadcasting.
