The programme begins its exclusive year long run on 10 May , 2003. CCTV reaches 90 per cent of the 1.3 billion population of China. CCTV will dub and edit The Powerpuff Girls into 22-minute episodes in order to better suit the language patterns of Chinese children.
President and MD Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific Steve Marcopoto said, ” We are thrilled to be taking this significant step into the Chinese market through our partnership with CCTV. It is a meaningful expansion of our overall cooperation within the PRC, With a combination of Cartoon Network’s globally-popular programming and CCTV’s local expertise, we hope that the Powerpuff Girls will become as well-loved in China as they are by children around the world.”
The Powerpuff Girls is an original half-hour per episode animated series that follows the adventures of three super-powered sisters-Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup-who frequently ask to be excused from school so they can save the world. While preparing his concoction of sugar & spice and everything nice, Professor Utonium accidentally added a mysterious fourth ingredient, Chemical X. This fateful addition led to the creation of three sugar coated superheroes, otherwise known as The Powerpuff Girls, whose mission in life alters between fighting crime and winning at hopscotch.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
