The promise of educational radio
(Draft-should not be cited), April, 2008, Sajan Venniyoor
Radio has always been an extremely useful tool in imparting education to diverse communities. Traditionally this role has been played by the All India Radio in India. Recently there has been further expansion in this field with the result of a range of productions to aid learning. However, the most exciting development in this area has been the government allowing the functioning of community radio. This has opened up huge possibilities in the dissemination of information to marginalised communities as well as opportunities for training and educating them at a low cost without compromising on quality.
