Why School Radio?

As per the census and National Youth Policy Document of Government of India (GoI), children and youth in the age group of 5 to 19 constitute 34 crore of the total population. This major group is continuously being neglected in the process of exploring their creativity, imagination, 21st century skills and entrepreneurial skills in creating their own content and not being exposed towards finding solutions. We are neglecting the voices of children and youth. They aren’t given a suitable platform to express their views, share their ideas and be part of the solution. They always remained as passive listeners rather than active participants in the decision making process. School Radio is promoting a platform for children and youth to create, enhance and share their voices with the world. School Radio brings out the talent of children and youth. It promotes communication, public speaking skills, and team building among them. The process enhances their abilities, presentation skills, and confidence. At present, these programmes are in Telugu, Hindi and English, and would like to include all the regional languages in future.
School Radio created a platform for children and youth to create their own content in any medium, language, and exposed them to find solutions to the issues.
