Would there be any documented instances in India or elsewhere, - of barn
raisers or similar workshops leading to community radio infrastructure being
set up?

While traditional tower design is bolted (or welded) steel sections or
SAW/extruded pipe, alternate designs can be put together using locally sourced
wood or bamboo (depending on availability). This may reduce the cost
considerably. It may also be competitive in terms of ToC, given that the
relatively shorter life expectancy of hemp-bound wood/bamboo is potentially
offset by its lower cost and the use of local traditional construction methods.
In places where the latter is not a given, it can still be worthwhile to build
one using a local 'barn-raiser' (ie a community construction workshop), where
the knowledge gained might percolate into other construction areas, reducing
dependency on 'imported' fabrication vendors. Importantly, the design itself
will almost certainly be locally generated, which may also be an
important plus

How much does a low cost tower cost? Can't we think of crowd funding!?

It is a big achievement, given that they still do not have a sturdy tower, nor
the resources for one.
Definitely more power to them,

Hello All,
Just heard from Nomad team at Chamba that Hevalvaani has gone on air.
Congratulations to the community members, specially Rajender Negi who had been
working tirelessly for so many years to launch Hevalvaani.
