Sunday was a special day for the ‘specially abled’ people because now,
they can share their joy and challenges across the community through their
very own radio. India’s first ever campus community radio station for the
disabled was kicked off in the City on Sunday.

Located in J P Nagar, Ramana-Voices, a partnership between Ramana
Maharishi Academy of Blind and Voices - an NGO focused on community based
issues and local and neighbourhood governance like education, health and
slum development.

Ashish Sen, director of Voices, said, “The radio frequency 94.0 will
provide a forum for the community to share problems and tackle it
collectively. Initially, it will be a four-hour programme every day.
Programmes on law advocacy and voices from community will be a part of
show.”
