11:55 IST
Ministry of Information
& Broadcasting, Government of India has signed a Grant of
Permission Agreement for establishing, maintaining and operating a
Community Radio Station (CRS) at Tagore Bhawan , Chaudhary Devilal
University. The Community Radio Station is expected to be operational
within three months as per the agreement.
Chaudhary Devi Lal University was established by the Government of
Haryana by an Act of Legislature in the year 2003 and was inaugurated
on April 5, 2003. The University has been running 16 Academic
Departments, which offer 21 Career oriented and specialized courses to
the students. The proposed CRS would primarily serve the university
community residing in and around the University Campus by inculcating
more cohesiveness among its members through their active involvement in
its programming. The rural community living in the coverage area of the
proposed CRS would be another major group to be served by it. 82.6% of
the population comes under the radius of this Community Radio Station
is rural. Only 5.8% belongs to the urban area.
The Ministry encourages setting up the CRS as it promises to provide an
opportunity to the local communities to express themselves, share their
views and particularly empower the women, youth and the marginalized
groups to take part in local self governance and overall socio-economic
and cultural development of the area. It will also better inform the
society about the developmental initiatives of Government and promote
transparency in the implementation of the scheme.
