years ago on March 25, 1942. Radio Azad Hind has been launched to
commemorate this day.

aware of India’s freedom struggle. He said that independence was
not attained only by non-violence movement. Revolutionaries also
played an import role in it. He said that it is bounden duty of
every patriotic citizen to rekindle and perpetuate memories of
martyrs. How the spirit of patriotism will develop among people if
martyrs were not worshipped? He said that present problems will be
removed only through the spirit of patriotism.
In his inaugural broadcast, the Chief Minister said that the dream
of a radio dedicated to revolutionaries of independence movement
and memories of immortal martyrs has been fulfilled. He hoped that
Radio Azad Hind will broadcast teachings and messages of great
freedom fighters and will also play a decisive role in
transforming society by giving expression to educative, cultural
and developmental works.
The Chief Minister said that Radio Azad Hind will turn out to be a
forceful medium for inculcate a sense of patriotism among people
and create a will-power among them to discharge their duties
towards the nation. He urged the people associated with broadcast
of Radio Azad Hind to prepare programmes on the events of freedom
movement, revolutionaries’ lives and achievements, which can
inspire the listeners towards patriotism and create a sense of
pride among them towards the country.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Madhya Pradesh is the soil of
martyrs. Amar Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad’s birthplace Bhabhra is
being developed as a pilgrimage centre for patriots. He
congratulated Swaraj Sansthan Sanchalanalay for launching Radio
Azad Hind.
Culture and Public Relations Minister Laxmikant Sharma said
that Radio Azad Hind is being launched at a time when 150th
birthday of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is being observed. He
informed that 150th birthday year of Swami Vivekanand will also be
observed in the state. A high-level committee headed by the Chief
Minister is being constituted to chalk out a series of programmes
during the year. He said that Madhya Pradesh is constantly moving
