Community Radio has completed 68 years of its journey in the world. According to the data given by UNESCO, more than twenty thousand community radios were established all over the world by the year 2011. The first community radio named the “Minor Radio” was started in 1947 in Bolivia, a Latin American country, as a voice against poverty and social injustice. In Asia, it made its beginning in Sri Lanka in the decades of 1960. This was the era when Radio Ceylon and Vividh Bharati were very popular in India. The role of the Hindi service of Radio Ceylon in linking the people of South Asia through the medium of entertainment is unforgettable. The beginning of the commu-nity radio in India can be traced back to the decade of 1990s but its transmission and use on a large scale could be possible only after the implementation of the Community Policy 2006 of the Government of India.

Community Radio is an invisible but remark-able medium for providing voice to the sup-pressed sections of the society. Community Radio Station (CRS) can make the democratic process smooth by broadcasting information on contemporary issues like community develop-ment, health, education, nutrition, agriculture, women and child development, Panchayati Raj and other subjects. It is proving to be a power-ful medium to encourage the debate between the government and people besides enriching the languages spoken by various communities,

literature, sports, arts, culture and popular traditions. In this context, Bertolt Brecht says that to make the radio a medium of two way dialogue, there should be an attempt to make it truly democratic in order to ensure the actual participation of citizens in public affairs. CRS has been playing an important role in the areas affected by tsunami, flood, earthquake, cyclone and other calamities. Every year since 2012, 13th February is observed as the World Radio Day.

Directions : (Questions 31 to 36). Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

A study was conducted in Rajasthan villages and the following was reported as a case study by the researcher.

“Sometime in 2007, I went to a small village in Dausa district of Rajasthan, close to Jaipur, to study rural unemployment. I met the Sarpanch and asked him why the villagers do not invest in formal education for their children. The Sar-panch called Gangaram, a B.A., and his brother, an M.A. Both were idle while their family worked in the fields. The Sarpanch asked me to help them get jobs. When I asked for their specialisation, both had specialised in Political History in Hindi medium. Then, Gangaram told me something that blew my mind. The first bus from the village reached Jaipur at 10 a.m., while the last bus left Jaipur for the vil-

lage at 3 p.m. In between, Political History in Hindi medium was the only course available at the University. This is the time I realised how our higher education is not helping much in getting employment. The brothers refused to work in the fields because they were graduates. Girls in Dausa are not encouraged for higher studies and are made to get married after class 10. The Sarpanch is already on the lookout for a bride for his elder son. Making the educated graduates like those from Dausa employable through training is need of the times.”
