          Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni has reiterated that the role of her Ministry is ‘that of a change agent in catalyzing growth and development by providing accurate and timely information to the people’.She said authentic information is indispensable for empowering people to make informed choices in a democratic set up.

         In her remarks in the foreword to ‘spreading the message’, a publication brought out by the Ministry to list the policy initiatives taken by her Ministry in the light of the changing profile of the media and entertainment industry, she said her Ministry plays a critical role in reaching comprehensive information regarding government policies. She expressed the hope that the compendium will enable the stakeholders to understand the role and responsibilities of the Ministry in government’s efforts to keep the people informed.

 

                   FRIENDS OF PRASAR BHARATI      welcomes the comments of the Honb'l minister regarding the significance of indispensable authentic information for empowering people to make informed choices in a democratic set up. 

                 Successive governments irrespective of political affiliations had envisaged numerous programmes for the  welfare for the exploited , backward and downtrodden peoples across the nation .Bit it is a fact that the fruits of development and various welfare schemes  for the  poor  doesn't reach the targeted groups completely.     

              Even though our nation is developing in so many ways according to the' statistics ' it remains a  huge concern that even today one third of our population is illiterate. And most of this illiterate peoples are living  in very remote areas where even electricity is not  available.

            Here comes the greater significance of ministers comment .  

          We want to ask  that which  is the medium to send  the above said authentic information  indispensable for empowering people to make informed choices in a democratic set up to the illiterate population of our Nation living in remote areas ?

          We want to ask  what is the medium to inform the illiterate population  ( living in remote areas of our Nation with out even  electricity ) ,about the  various schemes &  programmes by   governments  for them??. 

       The answer is very clear   Only  ALL INDIA RADIO CAN DO THIS.    

            FRIENDS OF PRASAR BHARATI  humbly request the Honb'l  minister to strengthen the existing ALL INDIA RADIO network  in the  border and remote areas  and start new ALL INDIA RADIO stations in the above areas. 

       We request  that through ALL INDIA RADIO & DOORDARSHAN  the government  should reach even the remote areas of our Nation to inform  and educate the people  about the  various  programmes and schemes of the government for them. 

         FRIENDS OF PRASAR BHARATI hope that ALL INDIA RADIO & DOORDARSHAN  can  definitely help the government to eradicate the menace of naxalism and terrorism by informing and educating the people about the various  programmes and schemes of the government for them.
