[cr-india] community radio in India - status update

[Archana Kapoor]

Hi Sajan,
Only one campaign of Bharat Nirman was released for just about Rs 8000/-.
As on date 13 radio stations have been empanelled  and a 30 day campaign of
Consumer Affairs has been released for Rs 45,000/-. I had been assured
by the Secretary of a 212 day campaign, however DAVP has released only for
a month. may be they extend it every month.All details are on their site.

Discussions with Ministry of Women and Child and Panchayati Raj are on. We
at CRA, are trying to get WCD for all stations- irrespective of DAVP
empanellment. Same ways with Panchayati Raj- we are trying to get out
of the DAVP mode. Mrs Sahu is also talking to both the ministries.
