[cr-india] Breaking News: Community Radio Forum of India (CRF) is finally Registered

[periyapatna satheesh]

Dear Nimmi

I have seen the minutes. I think the paragraph ascribed to me does not exactly represent what i said in the meeting. Therefore it might be nicer if you can change the paragraph with the following. It could be taken as corrected minutes.

  Satheesh added that Community Radios should become the hubs of local knowledge. For communities CRs should be the means through which they could recover their language diversity, cultural diversity and primacy of their knowledge. They should not become mere tools of NGOs to amplify their voice. Under such circumstances thinking of scaling up of CRs becomes an artificial thinking. If there is no scaling up possible, it should not be a matter of concern. Isolated CRs are as valuable as scaled up numbers. 
  
thanks

satheesh
