NEW DELHI: The government has granted permission to set up a new community radio station at “The Energy Resources Institute” in District Mukteshwar of Uttarakhand.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has signed a Grant of Permission Agreement for establishing, maintaining and operating the Community Radio Station (CRS). The Letter of Intent had been issued to the Institute after recommendations of the Inter Ministerial Committee (IMC).
The station is expected to be operational within three months, raising the number of CRS to 64 in the country.
Named “Kumoun Vani”, the CRS will bring the local communities on a common platform and enable better communication and flow of resources between them. This CRS will enable them to generate content based on local issues as well as technical knowledge about operating a radio station.
Local organisations will be invited for content sharing through radio spots and programmes, music bands or music groups can be invited to play and create radio jingles. Workshops/seminars sessions can be narrated on the radio creating awareness, discussions on technique and method to improve horticulture practice and comments from experts/panel discussion. Experts from various backgrounds will be invited to discuss issues related to environment protection, emancipation and development of society to afford an all-round rapid healthy development and also to meet the social responsibilities.
