New Delhi: Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has signed a Grant of
Permission Agreement for establishing, maintaining and operating a Community
Radio Station (CRS) at “The Energy Resources Institute” in Uttaranchal.

Letter of Intent had been issued to the Institute after recommendations of
Inter Ministerial Committee (IMC). The Community Radio Station is expected
to be operational within three months as per the agreement. With this, the
number of CRS will increase to 64 in the country.

The Community Radio Station named “Kumoun Vani” will bring the local
communities on a common platform and enable better communication and flow of
resources between them.

This Community Radio Station will enable them to generate content based on
local issues as well as technical knowledge about operating a radio station.

Local organisations will be invited for content sharing through radio spots
and programmes, music bands or music groups can be invited to play and
create radio jingles.

Experts from various backgrounds will be invited to discuss issues related
to environment protection, emancipation and development of society to afford
an all-round rapid healthy development and also to meet the social
responsibilities.

The Ministry encourages setting up of Community Radio Stations as it
promises to provide an opportunity to the local communities to express
themselves, share their views and particularly empower the women, youth and
the marginalised groups to take part in local self governance and overall
socio, economic and cultural development in the area.
