On the occasion of the World Radio Day, observed on 13th February every year to recognize and recall the contribution of radio to society at large, I extend my heartfelt greetings to listeners as well as employees of All India Radio.
India is a classic case in heterogeneity in terms of ethno-linguistic characteristics and economic disparities of its people. In such a society, AIR wedded to public service broadcasting, has been serving as a potent instrument to enlighten and empower people across the different segments of the society.
In a pluralistic society like ours, AIR also provides a platform to disparate communities for sharing their ideas and thus promoting harmony and cohesion. AIR’s role, as a catalyst in bringing about rapid socio-economic transformation is too well-known to recount. But then let us not rest on our laurels. I call upon all my colleagues at various locations of the country to re-dedicate themselves to the noble cause of taking the organization to majestic heights. We are inheritors of a great legacy and we are proud of it. Let us keep working as a well-knit team and give our best to the nation and society through radio.
