Itch Radio
Itch Radio Community Radio
is an important third tier in Radio Broadcasting, distinct from Public Service
Radio broadcasting and Commercial Radio. Community Radio Stations (CRSs)
are low power Radio Stations, which are meant to be
set-up and operated by local communities. In December 2002, the Government of
India approved a policy for the grant of license,
for setting up of Community Radio Stations, to well
established educational institutions. The Policy Guidelines were amended, in
2006, permitting community-based organizations such
as ICAR institutions, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Registered
Societies; Public charitable Trusts etc. to own and operate Community Radio
Stations, for allowing greater participation
on issues relating to development & social change.
