CBSE to set up its own community radio station
NEW DELHI: The
Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) will soon come up with a community radio station exclusively for its students, teachers and other stakeholders, according to officials.
The proposal was approved in the recent Governing Body meeting of the board, where it was decided that the application for procuring a license be moved.
"The proposal to set up a community radio station was approved by the board's Governing Body. It was decided that consultative meetings will be held in next six months with stakeholders and experts for preparing and processing application for community radio license detailed, " a senior CBSE official said.
The board has also decided that financial implications be worked out, the official added.
The CBSE already runs a podcast called Shiksha Vani which disseminates timely audio content for various subjects of grades 9-12 in a lucid and seamless manner.
CBSE-Shiksha Vani is available on Play Store for Android phone users. Shiksha Vani has, so far, uploaded approximately 400 pieces of content in accordance with NCERT curriculum.
"The modalities of the content which will be broadcast on the community radio station will be worked out once the license is procured," the official added.
Community Radio is an important third tier in radio broadcasting, distinct from public service radio broadcasting and commercial radio.
Community radio stations are low-power radio stations, which are meant to be set up and operated by local communities.
It provides a platform to air voices among the local community, especially marginalised sections of society, on issues concerning health, nutrition, education, agriculture etc. Moreover, since the broadcast is in local languages and dialects, there is a possibility of more connect among people.
According to official statistics, there are 540 commissioned community radio stations in India. These stations are operated by non-profit organisations like educational institutions, NGOs and societies.
The Indian government has been actively promoting the growth of community radio, particularly in rural and remote areas, through various initiatives and schemes.
