By its very nature, radio shapes our lives, informing and even uniting us. By bringing together people and communities it can help usher in positive change. World Radio Day falls on February 13 and the theme this year is “Dialogue, tolerance and peace”.
One hopes that in a world with alternative mediums of communication, radio can still find the valuable space to help serve as a platform for dialogue and democratic debate and encourage listeners to think of forward-looking action. Perhaps All India Radio, which has been serving the masses in the fields of education, information and entertainment with distinction, can take the lead in this.
