Sreehari Ravindranath, Joseph Thomas R

Abstract :

Community radio is a form of radio service that is functioned, owned, and operated by the communities they serve. Community radio is non profitable and provides a means for facilitating individuals, groups, and communities to tell their own diverse stories, to share experiences, and in a media rich world to become active creators and contributors of media. This paper is a humble attempt to study the impact of CR in society and its outreach in meeting the global challenges in education. The result and discussion of this paper is based on a quantitative study conducted among one of the community radio station working in the country .The main objective of this paper is to share our experience which can be taken as a best practice for other countries. The study indicates that the community radios have created grassroots-level participation and parallel movement of ideas among the disadvantaged rural communities connecting the gap in education, which are necessary prerequisite to idging the gap in education
