In 2004 (later amended in 2006), a landmark policy known as the community radio policy was enacted after a decade-long struggle. This policy allowed non-profit organizations and educational institutions to establish low-power FM radio stations, marking the government's recognition of community media as a third-tier form of media. Today, there are approximately 250 community radio stations, with the number continuing to grow. Drishti has been actively involved in democratizing media since the inception of this movement. We have assisted emerging radio stations with licensing procedures, studio and equipment setups, and most importantly, with training and guidance in building teams that can effectively represent the voice of the community. While we continue to support new stations, we now also collaborate on projects involving multiple radio stations to create thematic content.
