New Delhi: In the first
ever such initiative, the ministry of information and broadcasting
Friday held a live Twitter conference on community radio which saw
more than 200 questions being received on different aspects of the
programme.
The theme of the conference was "Community Radio: Road Travelled
and Way Forward", and was chaired by I and B Secretary Uday Kumar
Varma, who responded to the questions. Senior officials of the
ministry were also present on the occasion, said a statement
Friday.
The Live Conference was scheduled for half an hour but it went on
for over an hour with more than 200 questions received.
Varma responded to nearly 45 such questions, which related to
spectrum fee waiver, licensing, sustainability of the community
radio model and career prospects.
He said the ministry would continue to do such exercises on other
issues in the near future.
The conference provided the ministry the medium to understand the
perception of the people in the social media space.
As the intervention was innovative, it also provided a platform to
make the citizens aware of the key policies and programmes of the
government.
The initiative also ensured that the awareness regarding the key
policy interventions such as Community Radio reached the people in
a form and language understood by them, said the statement.
