What is this budget for? And how can the release say that Andhra has not been
"touched" -- whatever happened to Sangham Radio or the one in Tirupati? Or are
they only counting government-sponsored CR stations?

New Delhi: The Government of India has decided to expand its Community Radio
station (CRS) programme to all states.
It is aimed at connecting the rural hinterland with the national mainstream, an
official in the Information and Broadcasting Ministry said.
During the current fiscal, the community radio network will focus on covering
states like Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, which have remained untapped so far.
An amount of Rs 3.25 crore has been sanctioned for the entire Plan (2007-2012)
period for information education and communication for CRS.
“In 2007, the network had focussed on a few regions. In 2009-10 we started
covering some states, and by the end of this fiscal, we aim to cover all states
including ones like Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, which have not been touched so
far," the official said.
