Dear Sreedhar Sir 

I am a student of Pune University.  Our university is going to launch 'Vidya-vahini' campus radio station very soon.  There are many students like me who are eagerly waiting for the campus radio station.  We believe it will enrich and develop our skills to utilize a medium of mass communication for development. 

 

If we would have an opportunity to choose between campus TV and Radio, we will choose radio.  One of the major reasons to this is radio's widest reach and utilization in our campus and in nearby areas within a radius of 10 km; where most of the students are residing.  

 

Before two years I did a survey of radio utilization by students in our university campus.  I found that 78% hostel rooms were consist of at least one radio set and approximately 4 students using each radio sets regularly.   On the other hand there were only 4 % students who were using public TV sets regularly. In our university campus of more than 400 acres there are 17 different hostels for boys and girls.  

 

So if we would have an opportunity to choose between the two types of Community Media then we will definitely prefer Radio because of its widest reach for our students community.   I think we should not divide campus radio from the community radio.  Both are same, becasue both have same basic purpose i.e. Development of a Community.  

 

I hope and pray that every Indian university will have a campus radio station very soon.........Amen ! 

 

Btw, After reading your mail I am inspired to do the same study again, which I did two years before, thanks ! 

 

Regards,

Ganesh
