Dharamshala: There is an increase in the number of NGOs now applying for community radio licenses in India, according to officials of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. “In the recent survey, we observe that NGOs are more appreciated for their work in community radio sector and this has inspired more NGOs to apply for licenses”, said Ajay Joshi, Deputy secretary of MIB.
He was speaking at a Community radio awareness workshop in Dharamshala. The workshop was held for promoting the use of community radio and development of grass root community service through community radio.
Community radio Gunjan, located in Shidhbari was one of the organisations that participated in the workshop. Nitika, a member of Gunjan said, “Through culture, we can increase the importance of community radio by giving our message.”
