Dear Sweta,

The Community Radio Forum can help you with this. Can you send me some
details of your college/school, what kind of kind of programming are you
envisaging, how many students will be involved, what kind of equipment you
have acquired or have access to.

Regards,
Stalin K.
Convener, CR Forum
