Statement of Purpose
We are living in an era of knowledge revolution. Knowledge bridges gaps
and breaches boundaries. It is true that knowledge only multiplies not reduces
while sharing. Community Radio strives to achieve the same - knowledge,
technology and wisdom for all. Amid tensions and increased regional rivalries
community radio combines people and planet. It's a platform to unite, move and
achieve unity in diversity. While encapsulating, Community Radio emerged as the
voice of voiceless in a limited span of time.
I have been working with community radio for the last two years. As a
person involving with a Community Radio and has relevant experience in
community development initiatives, I realize the importance of grass root level
intervention and capacity building for rural development. Our country needs to
grow further and it requires quality manpower and empowered people. We need a
faster, sustainable and inclusive growth. A combined effort and a
multidimensional approach can help us to move out from ignorance and corruption.
This is a need of this hour which can be implemented only through continuous,
intensive, creative and innovative awareness and education programs. When
people get access to knowledge democracy will be strengthened and governance
will be transparent. Being a responsible citizen I love to facilitate a program
which enshrined my dream. I engage with similar initiatives for all these years
and find satisfaction through serving my people.
I was working as the project officer of Radio MACFAST 90.4 Thiruvalla
and associated with the formation of CR Media Village and DePaul Radio. I have
done sessions on the sustainability, social interaction of community Radio in
various places. Recently our district collector held a meeting to facilitate
CR. After came across the procedures of
CR application, I realized its easiness to apply. The documentation on
application procedure is comprehensively and clearly explained in the website. At
the same time, it needs expert advices and technical support to complete the
procedure. In another side, many of us are not aware about the role of
Community Radio in social development and its procedure for application. Along
with registration more focus should be given to training and quality support.
This may help the institutions to run and mange it properly. While many
stations strive to sustain, this efforts can do a large role. Hence I can act
as a catalyst/facilitator for Community Radio which shall be capable to spread
a little light for those who seek for community development. At last I hope
this endeavor will make me to fulfill my mission for my village through a new
community radio.
