Question

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.
