India’s remote areas, rural areas and far flung hamlets remain connected to
the rest of the country through their radio sets or transistors. They remain
in touch with news and information. The people do not feel isolated. Where
there is no TV, telephone or mobile services, the radio is the only hope.
The people listen to current affairs, discussions, educative talks, news,
songs, dramas, lectures, weather forecast, addresses to the nation by the
president or prime minister, devotional music etc. on their radio sets. It
helps them keep abreast of the times by ears. The people in remote areas
spend most of their spare time glued to the radio sets. Some even carry
their transistors in fields, on bullock carts or while cycling away.
Today the radio sets are very cheap and transistors are so handy that they
have caught the fancy of everyone men, women and children. This friendly
chatted gadget has proved bonanza to millions, both manufactures and the
users. Broadcasts over radio have benefitted students, teachers, panchayat
people, farmers, fishermen and soldier’s stations in forward posts. Most of
the developing countries including India are using radio broadcast for long
distance education and weather warnings. The radio has enabled the
farmers to grow three or four crops a year by listening to Kisan broadcast.
They have better crops and cattle since various problems related to them
are discussed in broadcasts providing useful tips on remedial measures.
The rural folk through broadcast learn about improved seeds, manures,
fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation systems and implements for water and
energy conservation. Largely accurate advance weather forecast has
proved a boon to the people engaged in agriculture.
