Funding for the initial development phase of Sesame Workshop India was provided through the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), ICICI Bank and Turner Broadcasting.〔(USAID India : Press Release: Fact Sheet - Galli Galli Sim Sim (Sesame Street India) )〕 ==Format== Episodes are similar in format to that of the originating series. The show consists of street scenes, segments (some filmed locally with Indian actors and children, some Indian animation, some are classic American Muppet skits dubbed in Hindi) and include four new Indian Muppets specially created for the subcontinent's children. The puppet characters include Indian boy and girl Muppets, a character based on traditional Indian folk tales and an animal Muppet. About 157 million children in India are watching the show on Indian children's TV channels, Turner's Cartoon Network, POGO and Doordarshan. In a country with more than 15 official languages — not including English — Turner and Sesame Workshop had their work cut out deciding which language the show should be broadcast in. They decided to launch the shows in Hindi, with a few English words in each episode. Producers hope to make Sesame India available in other languages in the next few years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galli Galli Sim Sim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
