Community Radio is the emerging new sector, which has tremendous potential. While a commercial radio station is mainly market driven, the public service broadcasting on the  other hand concentrates on content for education, information and entertainment.

The medium of community radio, as distinct from commercial radio or public service broadcasting serves to bring small communities together, focuses on the common man’s day-to-day concerns and helps in realizing local aspirations. In this sense, it aims to contribute to the lives of the local people of that community.
