I had heard about it informally from one of my school teacher 2 years
back when it had just started.
Her mother works in that radio station.

Subject: [AI] 'Hello Doon'! FM station for visually-impaired seeks to
expandreach
I wonder why nobody has evver discussed about this FM channel so far?
Does Anybody has first hand experience of listening this FM Station?
An ambitious FM channel which was launched in Dehradun to showcase the
broadcasting talents of visually-impaired people may soon spread its
wings to Himachal Pradesh or Tamil Nadu.

-impaired-seeks-to-expand-reach-114081700061_1.html
An initiative of the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped
(NIVH), the FM channel, 'Hello Doon', became operational about two
years ago.
The institute, which functions under the Ministry of Social Justice
and Empowerment, is now mulling an expansion of its services in the
rest of the country as part of efforts to open the doors of the world
of broadcasting to more visually- impaired persons.
My first priority would be to set up something similar in either
Tamil Nadu or Himachal Pradesh, where we have our regional centres, so
that the message goes out about the excellent broadcasting talents of
blind people, NIVH Director Anuradha Mohit told PTI here.
Noting that the Dehradun-based 'Hello Doon' channel was an experiment
to showcase the talents of visually-impaired people, she said there
are plans to launch new FM channels in 2015-16.
That will be some time in 2015-16... It takes a long time to start a
radio station. There are so many formalities to be completed... I have
included it in my programme for 2015-16, she added.
'Hello Doon', available on 91.2 MHZ, has completed two years.
Programmes on this station are largely created by visually-impaired
students.
That apart, the institute is also offering a one-year training course
in radio journalism for visually-impaired persons.
Our morning transmission is looked after by a visually impaired
candidate who qualified for the one-year course. Two of our programmes
are completely made by visually-impaired artistes. One of the
programmes, 'Sangeet Shiksha', has completed almost 300 episodes on
Hindustani Classical Music, Mohit said.
She stated that steps are being taken to make the FM channel
self-sustainable by getting sponsors.
