New Delhi: The
information and broadcasting ministry has launched a dedicated
Facebook page for community radio stakeholders in the country to
connect with them and answer their queries relating to government
policies as well as provide them a platform to share information
about their programmes.
The Facebook page 'Community Radio India' can be accessed at
www.facebook.com/communityradioindia. It will help the 134
operating community radio stations and various stakeholders in the
country to connect, a government release said Thursday.
The Facebook page aims to "disseminate community radio information
to a wider public and engage with over 134 operating community
radio stations of the country and other stakeholders".
It will update stakeholders on the status of licences, screening
committee meetings, permission agreements, clearances for new
community radio station, consultations and events. This platform
would also enable community radio stations to share information
about their radio programmes, upcoming events, success stories,
photographs and their challenges, the statement said.
The move to get connected through the popular social networking
site also aims to encourage new and aspiring stakeholders by
regularly updating them on community radio policy, guidelines and
answer their queries.
"The information shared through 'Wall' posts will not only be
helpful for them but would also inform individuals interested in
community radio," the statement said.
"The Facebook page on community radio not only portrays the
vibrant history of community radio movement in the country using
'Timeline' feature but also hosts key documents related to
policies. The page also carries frequently asked questions (FAQs),
relevant documents and photo albums of key events."
The Wall page would facilitate discussions between the
stakeholders "while enabling a participatory communication channel
on issues pertaining to community radio stations".
The community radio scheme has been identified as one for "core
intervention" during the 12th Five Year Plan. It is expected that
the Plan period would see a quantum jump in the number of
community radio stations set up in the country, the release said.
