*New Delhi: *People of the Gulbarga district in Andhra Pradesh would 
soon be getting a community radio station which will help them in 
socio-economic and cultural development of the area.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has signed an agreement for 
establishing, maintaining and operating a Community Radio Station (CRS) 
with the Sharanbasaveshwar Vidya Vardhak Sangha, a Gulbarga-based 
non-governmental organisation (NGO).

As per the agreement, the CRS is expected to be operational at within 
three months. With this, the number of CRS will increase to 39 in India.

The community radio station would provide an opportunity to the local 
communities to express themselves, share their views and particularly 
empower the women, youth and marginalized groups to take part in local 
self governance and overall socio-economic and cultural development of 
the area.

It will also better inform the society about the developmental 
initiatives of the government and promote transparency in the 
implementation of the schemes, the Ministry said in a statement.

Sharanbasaveshwar Vidya Vardhak Sangha has service oriented patronage 
for the welfare of all sections of the society, education of the youth 
more particularly of girls, uplift of women and much more.
 
The CRS will serve the communities in the region, particularly girls, 
women, farmers and students and empower them.
