Community radio in India - status update
Here is the latest list<http://mib.nic.in/ShowContent.aspx?uid1=2&uid2=3&uid3=0&uid4=0&uid5=0&uid6=0&uid7=0>of
operational CR stations, LoI holders, applicants etc, as on 3 Aug
2012.
There isn't much to cheer about -- ten years after the first CR Policy was
unveiled, we have 135 operational community radio stations, of which about
40 are licensed to civil society bodies. The rest of the licenses have gone
to universities, private educational institutions and the occasional KVK.
Even among the 42 NGO-run CR stations, I would be surprised if more than
ten are in rural India.
Of the 371 Letters of Intent issued so far, Tamil Nadu has the maximum of
51, of which 44 have been granted to educational institutions -- mostly
private colleges -- and 7 to NGOs. Maharashtra, on the other hand, has 42
LoIs, of which 28 have gone to civil society organizations.
- No. of applications received so far from 2004
to 01.08.2012: (including 104 against old guidelines): 1083
- Letters of Intent (LOI) issued: 371
- Grant of Permission of Agreement(GOPA) signed: 180
- Operational Community Radio Stations: 135
- Number of applications rejected: 445
- Applications under process: 267
Elsewhere, in terms of advertising support for CR stations, only 9 stations
have been empanelled with DAVP<http://davp.nic.in/em_rc_agn_list_26122011.pdf>.
I hope the Forum or the stations listed below can give us an idea of the
quantum of ads released by DAVP annually to CR stations.
List of Community Radio Stations empanelled with DAVP till 31st March, 2012.
1. Radio Mewat, Nuh, Mewat,
2. Kumayun Vani, Mukhteshwar (TERI)
3. Radio Namashkar, Konark, Orissa
4. Siwan Vani, Siwan, Bihar
5. Gyan Taranga, Assam
6. Radio Mattoli, Kerala
7. Hint Radio, Ghaziabad
8. Sangham Radio, Hyderabad
9. Jago Mumbai, Mumbai
These CRS are empanelled with DAVP at the rate of Rs.1 per second.

Ham Radio training sessions conclude
The special Ham Radio trainings session have concluded with a total of 60 students fully prepared to take up the examination.
Organised by the management of V.R. Siddhartha Engineering College, the sessions ended on Thursday with the distribution of participation certificates.
College Principal G. Sambasiva Rao said on this occasion that the management would procure Ham Radio equipment soon so that the licensed students and faculty members can continue their practice. This training will come in use during disasters for emergency communication where the students and faculty members can come to the aid of the suffering public, he said. Electronics and Communication Engineering Department head K. Sri Rama Krishna announced on the occasion that all the students who had undergone Ham radio training would get an extra academic credit. He also encouraged his colleagues and other faculty members of the ECE to undergo Ham Radio training and become experts in the field.
Apart from the students of VRSEC, other college students will also take this examination taking the number of examinees to 142. Probably this is the first time in India that such a large number of engineering students will appear at this exam, said the College Co-ordinator A. Ramesh Babu. The "Ham Radio Training Centre" was making all efforts to have the examination in Vijayawada and the assistance extended by the VRSEC management has helped it do so, added the Co-ordinator. If the same spirit and trend continues then certainly Vijayawada would emerge as the hub of Ham Radio training in the State, opined Mr. Ramesh Babu.

Patna University to soon have campus radio
Patna University (PU) will soon have its own campus radio for the benefit of its scholars. The university has already approached the competent authorities for providing financial and technical support for setting up this radio station.
Giving details of this initiative, PU vice-chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh told TOI here on Sunday the campus radio is not a new concept in the country. Several universities, including Ignou, are already running it very successfully and it is quite popular in some universities. Working on the pattern of community radio, the campus radio will be run by the students, especially those of journalism and mass communication.
