Community Radio Station to come up at Chaudhary Devilal University
New Delhi: A Grant of Permission Agreement has been signed by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B), Government of India to establish maintain and operate a Community Radio Station (CRS) at Chaudhary Devilal University, Sirsa, Haryana.
As per the agreement the Community Radio Station is likely to be operational within three months.
"The proposed CRS would primarily serve the University community residing in and around the University Campus by inculcating more cohesiveness among its members through their active involvement in its programming," said an I&B official.
The rural community living in the coverage area of the proposed CRS would be another major group to be served by it. 82.6 pc of the population that comes under the radius of this Community Radio Station is rural. Only 5.8 pc belongs to the urban area.
The Ministry encourages setting up the CRS 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 marginalized groups to take part in local self governance and overall socio-economic and cultural development of the area. It will also better inform the society about the developmental initiatives of Government and promote transparency in the implementation of the scheme.
Chaudhary Devi Lal University was established by the Government of Haryana by an Act of Legislature in the year 2003 and was inaugurated on April 5, 2003.
The University has been running 16 Academic Departments, which offer 21 Career oriented and specialized courses to the students.
