TRAI Launches Consultation on Digital Broadcasting

TRAI has launched a consultation process inviting comments on facilitating the deployment of digital broadcasting by private FM radio broadcasters. Even as it noted that All India Radio is active in implementation of digital radio in MW and SW bands, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India today noted that there appears to be no initiative in FM radio space either by public or private FM radio broadcasters.

Since FM is primarily used for analogue transmission, it appears as if the frequency allocations under these policy guidelines are only for analogue transmission. Analogue FM technology can provide only one channel per frequency. Therefore, existing FM radio channels provide limited services to their listeners. In addition, analogue radio broadcasting is facing competition from emerging technologies and other platforms like webcasting, podcasting, Internet streaming etc.

In view of this, the TRAI has suo moto issued a consultation paper on issues related to digital radio broadcasting in India. Stakeholders have been asked to respond to the various questions raised by TRAI by 4 September with counter-comments if any by 18 September 2017.  Read more.

किस्सा रमई काका की सादादिली का

लखनऊ में पिछले दिनों आपने महान अवधी कवि बलभद्र प्रसाद दीक्षित पढ़ीस के क़िस्से पढ़े। आज बात अवधी के एक और बड़े कवि चंद्रभूषण त्रिवेदी उर्फ रमई काका की। पढ़ीस और वंशीधर शुक्ल के साथ रमई काका अवधी की उस अमर ‘त्रयी’ का हिस्सा हैं, जिनकी रचनात्मकता ने तुलसी और जायसी की अवधी को एक नई साहित्यिक समृद्धि प्रदान की। यूं अवधी की इस कद्दावर तिकड़ी के तीनों सदस्य बहुत लोकप्रिय रहे लेकिन सुनहरे दौर में आकाशवाणी लखनऊ के साथ सफल नाटककार और प्रस्तोता के बतौर लंबे जुड़ाव और अपने अद्वितीय हास्य-व्यंग्यबोध के चलते रमई काका की लोकप्रियता सचमुच अद्भुकत और असाधारण रही। रेडियो नाटकों का उनका हस्ताक्षर चरित्र ‘बहिरे बाबा’ तो इस कदर मशहूर रहा कि आज भी उत्तर भारत के पुराने लोगों में रमई काका का नाम भले ही सब न जानें लेकिन बहिरे बाबा सबको अब तक याद हैं। उत्तर प्रदेश के उन्नाव जिले के रावतपुर गांव में 2 फरवरी 1915 जन्मे रमई काका कविता तो किशोरावस्था में ही लिखने लगे थे लेकिन उनकी प्रतिभा को सही मकाम 1941 में मिला, जब उन्होंने आकाशवाणी के कर्मचारी के बतौर लखनऊ को अपना निवास-स्थान बनाया। नौकरी के लिए गांव छोड़ने के बाद वे जिंदगीभर लखनऊ में ही रहे लेकिन इसके बावजूद उनकी कविताओं में गांव और कृषि प्रधान संस्कृति की मौजूदगी हमेशा बनी रही।

साठ के दशक का वाक़या है। आकाशवाणी के माध्यम से रमई काका के नाटक और कविताएं घर-घर पहुंच चुकी थीं। रमई काका लोकप्रियता के उस शिखर पर थे, जहां उनसे पहले कोई भी आधुनिक अवधी कवि नहीं पहुंचा था। उनकी देखादेखी बहुत से अवधी कवि न सिर्फ कविताओं में उनकी नकल करने लगे थे, बल्कि उन्हीं की देखादेखी नाम के आगे काका लगाने का फैशन भी चल पड़ा था। इसी दौर में लखीमपुर खीरी के एक कवि थे, जो काका के अंदाज में लिखने की कोशिश करते थे और अपनी कविताएं आकाशवाणी लखनऊ को भेजते थे। लेकिन बहुत कोशिशों के बाद भी उनकी कविताओं का रेडियो से प्रसारण संभव न हो पाया था। एक दिन उन्हें एक युक्ति सूझी, उन्होंने रमई काका की ही कुछ कविताएं अपने नाम से आकाशवाणी में भेज दीं। रमई काका की कविताएं उन दिनों बहुत लोकप्रिय थीं, सो संबंधित प्रोड्यूसर को शक हुआ कि ये कविताएं उनकी नहीं बल्कि रमई काका की लग रहीं हैं। चूंकि काका आकाशवाणी में ही काम करते थे इसलिए संशय की पुष्टि होते भी देर न लगी। अब प्रेषक को आकाशवाणी बुलाया गया, उन्हें फौरन पता चल गया कि चोरी पकड़ी गई। डर के मारे उनकी सिट्टी पिट्टी गुम। इस कदर घबराए कि बुखार चढ़ गया। फिर काफ़ी दिन गुज़रने के बाद जब तबीयत ठीक हो गई तो आकाशवाणी पहुंचे। ये सोचकर कि शायद मामला ठंडा हो चुका हो।
स्टेशन पहुंचकर उन्होंने केंद्रनिदेशक से घबराते हुए माफ़ी मांगी। केंद्र निदेशक महोदय ने उन्हे डांटते हुए माफ किया और कहा कि अब ऐसी भूल कभी नहीं होनी चाहिए। इसके तुरंत बाद वो डरते-डरते रमई काका से मिलने पहुंचे। केंद्र निदेशक से डांट खा चुके थे, इसलिए काका से मिलने में और घबरा रहे थे। मगर काका तो गांव की मिट्टी के बने थे। इतने प्यार और आत्मीयता से मिले, जैसे कुछ हुआ ही न हो। अपने जाने पहचाने अंदाज़ में मुस्कुराते हुए बोले-‘प्रकाशित या प्रसारित कविताएं कहीं भेजोगे तो हमेशा पकड़े जाओगे। अगर मेरी ही कविताएं भेजनी थीं, तो मुझसे कह देते मैं चुपके से तुमको नई लिखके दे देता। सात जनम में न पकड़े जाते। ये सुनते ही वो कवि महोदय भी मुस्कुराने लगे और उनके साथ काका भी। रमई काका ने बड़े खुलूस के साथ उन्हें चाय नाश्ता करवा के रुखसत किया...

काका 1977 में आकाशवाणी से रिटायर हो गए लेकिन रेडियो से उनका जुड़ाव बना रहा। 18 अप्रैल 1982 को लखनऊ के बलरामपुर अस्पताल में उन्होंने अंतिम सांस ली।

AIR to host annual music competition

All India Radio (AIR), Bengaluru, has received nearly 300 applications for its National Music Competition announced last month. Amongst the applications received, the Vocal Category in the Carnatic segment has received the maximum entries, say AIR officials. Upcoming artistes in the State will get an opportunity to showcase their talent at the competition to be held between July 10 and 28 at all regional stations. The 63-year-old competition has in the past propelled several artistes to fame, including Karnataka’s khanjira ambassador Amrit N., 32, and vocalist S. Shankar. Other artistes, who have participated, include the Rudrapatnam Brothers, D. Balakrishna, T.V. Gopalakrishnan, Sudha Raghunathan, and Ranjani Gayathri.

Introduced in 1954, the competition was initially focused on Carnatic and Hindustani music. “Over the years, based on the response it received, it has grown to cover 50 categories,” said K. Vageesh, former Deputy Director General (Music), New Delhi, AIR, who is a vocalist himself. “Western music made its way into the competition just last year and was welcomed in Bengaluru,” according to N. Raghu, programme executive, Akashvani, Bengaluru. Public response determines the addition or deletion of categories. For instance, the category of ‘Music Composers’ was introduced two years ago, but was discontinued following a dismal response. The most popular categories are Geet-Ghazal, Rabindra Sangeet and Vrindagaan (chorus). Nadaswara and mridanga are also seeing a swarm of applications and requests that they be made separate categories. Akashvani came up with sub-categories for some instruments, including plucked (stringed), bowed and wind instruments.
“Classical music and light music received such an unprecedented response that we had to create separate categories for girls and boys,” says Vinod Kumar, Programme Executive, AIR, Bengaluru. Winners get the coveted title of B-Grade artist of AIR. The National Programme and the National Orchestra began in 1952 while the Sangeet Sammelan and National Music Competition began in 1954. “It was at the insistence of the then Union I&B Minister B.V. Keskar that classical music received a major push,” said N.S. Krishnamurthy, who served AIR for 33 years and retired as director of Akashvani Bengaluru in 1995. India is the only country to hold such an event, he added.

23 जुलाई को जब आप अपनी गाड़ी या घर में रेडियो सुनेंगे तो शायद आपको कुछ खास ना लगे पर ये दिन सुनहरे अक्षरों में लिखा गया है। 23 जुलाई को ही भारत में मुंबई से रेडियो प्रसारण की पहली स्‍वर लहरी गूंजी थी। 23 जुलाई को भारत में संगठित प्रसारण के 90 साल पूरे हो रहे हैं। प्रसारण की एक मोहक और ऐतिहासिक यात्रा में रेडियो ने सफलता के कई आयाम तय किए हैं। आज रेडियो भारतीय जनमानस के जीवन का एक अभिन्न अंग है। भारत में रेडियो से जुड़ी दो अनूठी बातें हैं, पहली तो यह कि यहां के रेडियो प्रसारण का नाम विश्व भर में विशिष्ट है ‘आकाशवाणी’ और उतनी ही अनूठी है इस ‘आकाशवाणी’ की ‘परिचय धुन’, जिसके साथ कुछ आकाशवाणी केंद्रों पर सभा सभा का आरंभ होता है हालांकि आकाशवाणी के बहुत सारे केंद्र अब अपना प्रसारण 24 घंटे करते हैं इसलिए वहां आकाशवाणी की संकेत ध्वनि सुनने नहीं मिल पाती है। ‘विविध भारती’ का प्रसारण 24 घंटे है तो वहां आकाशवाणी की संकेत धुन अब नहीं बज पाती। 

यहां यह जानकारी देना जरूरी है कि इस नायाब धुन को सन 1936 में ‘इंडियन ब्रॉडकास्टिंग कंपनी’ के संगीत विभाग के अधिकारी वॉल्टर कॉफमैन ने कंपोज़ किया था। ‘आकाशवाणी’ के इस अनूठे नाम की भी बड़ी दिलचस्प कहानी है। वैसे अपने देश में सन 1924 के आसपास कुछ रेडियो क्लबों ने प्रसारण आरंभ किया था लेकिन आर्थिक कठिनाइयों के चलते यह क्लब नहीं चल सके। आगे चलकर 23 जुलाई सन 1927 को मुंबई में ‘इंडियन ब्रॉडकास्टिंग कंपनी’ ने अपनी रेडियो प्रसारण सेवा शुरू की। 26 अगस्त 1927 को कोलकाता में नियमित प्रसारण शुरू हो गया। रेडियो प्रसारण का उद्घाटन करते हुए तत्कालीन वायसराय लॉर्ड इरविन ने कहा था भारत वासियों के लिए प्रसारण का एक वरदान हो जायेगा। मनोरंजन और शिक्षा की दृष्टि से भारत में विद्यमान संभावना का हमें स्वागत करना होगा लेकिन 1930 तक आते-आते इंडियन ब्रॉडकास्टिंग कंपनी दिवालिया हो गई और 1 अप्रैल 1930 को ब्रिटिश सरकार ने ‘इंडियन स्टेट ब्रॉडकास्टिंग सर्विस’ का गठन किया। मजे की बात यह है कि तब रेडियो श्रम मंत्रालय के अंतर्गत रखा गया। बात चल रही थी ‘आकाशवाणी’ के नामकरण की, तो बता दिया जाए कि दरअसल उन दिनों कई रियासतों में रेडियो स्टेशन खोले गए थे जिनमें मैसूर रियासत के 30 वॉट के ट्रांसमीटर से डॉक्टर एम वी गोपालस्वामी ने रेडियो प्रसारण शुरू किया और उसे नाम दिया ‘आकाशवाणी’। आगे चलकर सन 1936 से भारत के तमाम सरकारी रेडियो प्रसारण को ‘आकाशवाणी’ के नाम से जाना गया। 

शुरू से ही रेडियो के तीन महान लक्ष्य थे- सूचना, शिक्षा और मनोरंजन। सामने थी भारत की भौगोलिक विभिन्नताओं और कठिनाइयों की चुनौती। लोगों को यह जानकर अचरज होगा कि सन 1930 से 1936 के बीच मुंबई और कोलकाता जैसे केंद्रों से हर रोज दो समाचार बुलेटिन प्रसारित किए जाते थे। एक अंग्रेजी में और दूसरा बुलेटिन हिंदुस्तानी में। 1 जनवरी 1936 को आकाशवाणी के दिल्‍ली केंद्र के उद्घाटन के साथ ही वहां से भी समाचार बुलेटिन प्रसारित होने लगे। सबसे खास बात यह है कि उन दिनों चूंकि समाचार बुलेटिन शुरू ही हुए थे इसलिए खबरें किसी एजेंसी से खरीदी नहीं जाती थी बल्कि समाचार वाचक उस दिन के समाचार पत्र लेकर मुख्य समाचार पढ़ दिया करते थे। लेकिन सन 1935 में सेंट्रल न्यूज़ आर्गेनाईजेशन यानी केंद्रीय समाचार संगठन की स्थापना के बाद समाचार बुलेटिनों का सुनियोजित ढंग से विकास हुआ। स्वतंत्रता के समय आकाशवाणी के कुल 18 ट्रांसमीटर थे। आकाशवाणी के नेटवर्क में कुल 6 रेडियो स्टेशन और पांच देसी रियासतों के रेडियो स्टेशन थे। 

सन 1951 में रेडियो के विकास को पंचवर्षीय योजना में शामिल कर लिया गया उसके बाद से आकाशवाणी ने कभी पीछे मुड़कर नहीं देखा। आकाशवाणी ने समाज के हर तबके को अपने परिवार में शामिल किया है, चाहे ग्रामीण श्रोता हो, चाहे श्रमिक, कामकाजी महिलाएं हों या बुजुर्ग और बच्चे या युवा। सबके लिए आकाशवाणी के रोचक कार्यक्रम प्रसारित होते हैं। आज देश की लगभग 98 प्रतिशत आबादी की पहुंच में है रेडियो। 21वीं सदी के इस तकनीकी युग में आकाशवाणी ने अपनी शक्ल बदली है। अब लोकल फ्रीक्वेंसी मॉड्यूलेशन यानी एफ एम केंद्रों का विस्तार हुआ है। और कार्यक्रमों की तकनीकी गुणवत्ता भी बढ़ी है। रेडियो आपके हाथ में है, आपके मोबाइल में है, इंटरनेट के जरिए पूरी दुनिया में इसकी पहुंच है। शुरुआती दौर से ही आकाशवाणी रचनात्मक पहल करती आ रही है। महत्‍वपूर्ण घटनाओं, समारोहों या खेलों की रेडियो कमेंट्री हो, रेडियो नाटक, रेडियो फीचर, फोन इन कार्यक्रम जैसी रचनात्मक विधाएं या फिर त्वरित प्रतिक्रिया वाले कार्यक्रम। sms का फरमाइशी कार्यक्रम हो या फिर शास्त्रीय संगीत का कार्यक्रम, साहित्यिक कृतियों के रेडियो रूपांतरण, गीतों भरी कहानियां, वार्ता, बाजार भाव, मौसम का हाल सब आकाशवाणी का हिस्‍सा हैं। 

बदलते वक्‍त के साथ रेडियो ने अपनी नई विधाएं गढ़ी हैं। और इन्हें जनता के संस्कारों का हिस्सा बनाया है। 23 जुलाई 1969 को मनुष्य ने चंद्रमा पर कदम रखा और उसी दिन आकाशवाणी दिल्ली से आरंभ हुआ ‘युववाणी’ कार्यक्रम। उद्देश्य था छात्र वर्ग और युवा पीढ़ी को प्रसारण का भागीदार बनाना। आगे चलकर इस युववाणी ने रंगमंच, अभिनय, संगीत और मीडिया के अनेक क्षेत्रों की बहुत प्रतिभाओं को निखारा। आकाशवाणी के अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण योगदानों में शास्त्रीय संगीत और लोक संगीत की अनमोल विरासत को सँजोना और लोकप्रिय करनास भी शामिल है। गुजरे जमाने के अनेक महत्वपूर्ण संगीतकार, शास्त्रीय संगीत के अनेक विद्वान, साहित्यकार और पत्रकार आकाशवाणी से जुड़े रहे हैं। आज भी आकाशवाणी के संग्रहालय में इनकी अनमोल रिकॉर्डिंग मौजूद है। महादेवी वर्मा जयशंकर प्रसाद, ‘निराला’, बच्‍चन जी, पं. रमानाथ अवस्थी वगैरह की अनमोल रचनाएं आकाशवाणी की लाइब्रेरी में मौजूद है। और अब तो प्रसार भारती ने सीडीज़ की शक्‍ल में इन्‍हें आपके लिए उपलब्‍ध भी करवा दिया है। इसे प्रसार भारती आर्काइव की वेबसाइट से खरीदा जा सकता है। इसमें वो रामचरित मानस गान भी शामिल है जो आपकी सुबहों का हिस्‍सा होती थी। 

भारत में आकाशवाणी के लोकप्रियता का एक नया इतिहास तब रचा गया जब 3 अक्टूबर 1957 को ‘विविध भारती सेवा’ आरंभ हुई। ‘विविध भारती’ के फरमाइशी फिल्मी गीतों के कार्यक्रम घर घर में गूंजने लगे। फिल्मी कलाकारों से मुलाकात, फौजी भाइयों के लिए ‘जयमाला’, ‘हवा महल’ के नाटक और अन्य अनेक कार्यक्रम जन-जीवन का हिस्सा बन गए। सन 1967 में विविध भारती से प्रायोजित कार्यक्रमों की शुरुआत हुई। फिर तो रेडियो की लोकप्रियता शिखर पर पहुंच गई। अमीन सायानी की बिनाका गीतमाला आज भी हमारी यादों का हिस्‍सा है। आकाशवाणी की ‘ध्वनि तरंगें’ सिर्फ भारत में ही नहीं बल्कि विदेशों में भी गूंजा करती है। वैसे अक्टूबर 1939 में पश्तो भाषा विदेश प्रसारण की शुरुआत हुई थी। विदेश प्रसारण सेवा आज 25 से भी अधिक भाषाओं में कार्यक्रम करती है। इसके अलावा आकाशवाणी की वेबसाइट पर लाइव स्‍ट्रीमिंग और मोबाइल एपलीकेशन के ज़रिए विविध भारती, एफ एम गोल्‍ड, रेनबो, समाचार सेवा, शास्‍त्रीय संगीत के चौबीस घंटे चलने वाले रेडियो चैनल ‘रागम’ और अलग अलग क्षेत्रीय भाषाओं के मनोरंजक कार्यक्रम सारी दुनिया में सुने जा सकते हैं। 

जिन दिनों में छोटा पर्दा नहीं था तब रेडियो कमेंट्री विभिन्न घटनाओं को शब्दचित्र अपने श्रोताओं के लिए खींच देती थी चाहे आजादी की पूर्व संध्या पर पंडित नेहरू ने अपना प्रसिद्ध भाषण ‘ट्रिस्ट विद डेस्टिनी’ (नियति से साक्षात्कार) संसद में दिया था। आकाशवाणी के माध्यम से इसे पूरे राष्ट्र में सुना था। आज भी प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी रेडियो के ज़रिये अपनी ‘मन की बात’ लोगों तक पहुंचाते हैं। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी आकाशवाणी के लिए व्यावसायिक रूप से लाभदायक साबित हुए हैं। श्री मोदी के रेडियो कार्यक्रम 'मन की बात'से सरकारी रेडियो स्टेशन आकाशवाणी को पिछले दो वित्त वर्षो में 10 करोड़ रुपये की आमदनी हुई है। आज भारत में अनेक प्राइवेट एफ एम चैनल श्रोताओं का मनोरंजन करते हुए रेडियो की परंपरा को समृद्ध कर रहे हैं। आज आकाशवाणी प्रसारण के तीनों रुपों यानी शॉर्टवेव, मीडियम वेव और FM के जरिए देश-विदेश में उपलब्ध है। 90 साल पहले ध्वनि तरंगों ने भारत में एक नन्हा कदम रखा था और आज भारतीय प्रसारण ने एक परिपक्व उम्र को छुआ है। इस उम्र में भी सपनों के अंकुर हरे हैं। स्मृतियों के एल्बम भरे हैं। और तय करने को है एक लंबा सफर। प्रसारण के 90 बरस प्रसारकों और श्रोताओं के लिए उत्सव के क्षण हैं।

The DD Free Dish phenomenon

In early July, state broadcaster Doordarshan’s free-to-air (FTA) direct-to-home (DTH) platform DD Free Dish earned Rs85.10 crore in an e-auction of its slots to private broadcasters. This was the highest amount earned by Free Dish in an auction. Although its earlier auction this year failed to elicit any response owing to high reserve prices, DD has finally managed to sell its slots for a higher sum. That Free Dish is in the pink of health is evident from its annual numbers—In 2016-17, DD Free Dish recorded revenue of Rs264.17 crore, a 47% increase from a year ago. Free Dish’s success can be gauged not only from the revenue it earns from slot sale but also from the number of subscribers it has managed to enrol. The platform boasts of 22 million subscribers in India, according to estimates from television viewership measurement agency Broadcast Audience Research Council (Barc) India. These are estimates as the hardware to receive Free Dish signals is available at different sales points and the data is not easy to collate.

The reasons for Free Dish’s success and popularity are not hard to find. First and foremost, as the name suggests, DD’s Free Dish DTH service is free. This means that if you buy the equipment (a set-top box and a dish) to receive signals of DD Free Dish, you do not have to pay a monthly subscription fee thereafter as is the case with private DTH platforms. “That is the single biggest reason for its success,” points out Ashish Pherwani, partner, media and entertainment at consulting firm EY. EY, has, in fact, published a report on Free TV viewership which is set to register exponential growth to reach 46 million households by 2020. The report titled India’s Free TV—A game changing opportunity also takes note of the phenomenal success of DD Free Dish.

The other reason for the popularity of Free Dish is its attractive content. Thanks to private broadcasters who are on DD Free Dish, the DTH platform boasts of films, general entertainment programmes and news. Currently, the platform hosts 80 channels including Star India Pvt. Ltd’s Star Utsav, Sony Pictures Networks’ Sony Pal and Rishtey from Viacom18 Media Pvt Ltd. It also broadcasts news channels such as Aaj Tak, ABP News and News 24. Going forward, DD plans to add 24 new channels to Free Dish, taking the total count to 104. To be sure, the general entertainment channels (GEC) on Free Dish are the siblings of the flagship channels of broadcasters and carry their old content library. “But Free Dish viewers don’t seem to mind if their show Naagin, for instance, lags by a few months,” says Pherwani. That the content being offered is popular is evident from the fact that last week, Rishtey, the FTA channel of Colors was among the top 5 most-watched channels in Hindi GEC in both urban and rural India. Explaining why Free Dish is gaining in strength and stature, Pherwani says that often it rides on the back of poor cable television infrastructure in rural areas.

While some areas are found wanting in cable access, others that do have cable provide an insignificant number of channels. Private broadcasters say that the government is clearly building a great revenue model for Free Dish. They feel Free Dish is gaining traction and increasing its penetration thanks to content provided by them. “We are not only driving its penetration, but paying for it as well,” says the head of a private TV channel, requesting anonymity. Free Dish, on the other hand, can argue that its platform allows a channel to gain a national footprint overnight. The channel head says that although it is a win-win situation right now, Free Dish should not raise its reserve prices again. According to the EY report, DD Free Dish, the state-run DTH provider is the largest TV distribution company in the country. The subscriber base of DD Free Dish is projected to reach 40 million users in the next 2-3 years.

It can be argued that Free Dish can only grow in the future. In the absence of rural viewership data earlier, both broadcasters and advertisers were forced to focus on urban audiences. “However, with ratings agency Barc India now reporting rural viewership data, broadcasters have opened up to the idea of providing their content on FTA and pay channels, which cater to the rural segment,” says the report. As more free-to-air channels are launched, they would aim to be on Free Dish. Currently, rural TV viewership contributes 52% to overall viewership. However, it is estimated to contribute 74% of the total viewership of DD Free Dish. Free Dish may further grow thanks to mandatory digitization where government has shut down analog cable transmission as of April 2017. This will drive consumers to look for alternatives— either the more expensive cable or private DTH options or the DD Free Dish option. “Given that they would have to invest in hardware (an STB or set-top box and perhaps also a dish), the more price-conscious customers may opt for free television services in the immediate term,” says the EY report. This may lead to a staggering rise in DD Free Dish viewers.

Inspiration:From begging on Chennai streets to studying at Cambridge – Jayavel’s journey

Jayavel has become the talk of the town among the street dwellers of Chennai. While his family begs for a living, the 22-year-old has got a chance to study advanced automobile engineering at Cambridge University.

After crop failure in the 1980s, Jayavel’s farming family shifted from Nellore to Chennai in search of a living. Eventually, the family started begging in the streets of the burgeoning city. “We used to sleep on the pavement. If it would rain, we would try to find other shelter in any nearby shop until the cops came and chased us out of there.

After his father’s death, Jayavel’s mother fell subject to alcoholism. Most of his earnings were spent on alcohol. Things, however, started to look up when Jayavel met Uma Muthuraman.

Uma, along with her husband Muthuraman, stepped up to help Jayavel. She and her husband were planning to make a video story on them by the name of ‘Pavement Flower’. “My people actually didn’t like them. We even tried to hurt them as we had so many people approaching us under the pretext of helping. But they only used our name to get government funds,” Jayavel recalls.

However, since Uma and Muthuraman’s desire to help them was genuine, their attitude soon softened. Jayavel, in 1999, was offered a proper education through their NGO, Suyam Charitable Trust.

After excelling in his 12th grade exams, Jayavel cleared Cambridge University’s entrance examination. He has been offered a seat at Glendwr University in Wales to study ‘Performance Car Enhancement Technology Engineering’.

For Jayavel, higher education is just a stepping stone to help accomplish his larger dreams. After finishing his studies, Jayavel plans to help running the NGO and transform the lives of many more street children in the years to come.

Indian Broadcasting Day - 23rd July

"Radio---harbinger of new hope and life".

"With the advent of efficient broadcasting - there is nothing to prevent, in time, the farthest confines of Kashmir, Sikkim or Travancore simultaneously receiving the news of the moment. Although by composition, ours is a commercial company, it is the earnest desire of the Board of Directors to do broadcasting in a spirit of public service.", said Sir Ibrahim Rahimtoola, Chairman of the Indian Broadcasting Company.

It was in June 1923, that the very first radio programme in India was broadcast by the Radio Club of Bombay (Mumbai) and then in November, 1923 from Calcutta (Kolkata). These radio broadcasts were made with the efforts of amateurs, later followed by private enterprise. 

This was the beginning, of a medium, which was to connect the country through electric waves and eventually contribute greatly in creating new India in new world order!

Finally, organised broadcasting in India began when the first station of the Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC) was inaugurated at Bombay by the British Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin on July 23, 1927. Though it gained a lot of popularity, but the Indian Broadcasting Company went into premature liquidation from March 1, 1930. Eventually, from April 1930, broadcasting in India came under the direct control of the Government.

In September 1935, broadcasting began in the princely State of Mysore with the name AKASHVANI. The name All India Radio was adopted from June 08, 1936 and the Delhi Station of the Indian State Broadcasting Service went on air on January 01, 1936 from the temporary studios at 18, Alipur Road.

Dr. Gopalaswamy Professor of Psychology at the Mysore University had set up a 30 Watt transmitter at his house to air the first broadcast in the year 1935. By the end of 1932 when the BBC started its Empire Service, the number of receivers in India was 8557. It increased to 10,872 by the end of 1933 & 16,000 by the end of 1934. Today, AIR covers 99.19% of total Indian population. It Broadcasts via DTH,live streams several AIR channels and updates through various social networking platforms.
