It was initially launched on 26 January 2000 as a solitary 24x7 hour satellite channel under the banner of Doordarshan which provided a Transponder on INSAT 2B satellite, free of cost.

Gyan Darshan ran successfully until 2 June 2014 as a must carry channel for educational programmes. GD was shut down by ISRO to facilitate its migration from INSAT 3C to GSAT-10. IGNOU now needs to apply for a fresh license to start the up-linking of its channels for GSAT-10 Satellite.

Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 6 October 2016 between Doordarshan and IGNOU regarding the transmission of Four Gyan Darshan Educational channels in October. Gyan Darshan was likely to be resumed airing from 1 January 2017.[1]
