Community Radio for Social Change
Guidelines for participants coming to attend fourth National CR Sammelan at New Delhi from 13th - 15th March 2014
i) Only one participant form each organisation/station would be allowed to participate in the Sammelan. It will not be possible to arrange accommodation/entry in the Sammelan for anyone other than the nominated participant. We hope that no request is made to MIB or the organizers of the Sammelan for accommodating more than one participant from the stations.
ii) The Ministry would provide travel reimbursement to one participant from each organisation limited to II tier AC sleeper fare and three nights stay in a hotel on twin sharing basis. The accommodation includes breakfast and dinner. Lunch would be provided at the Sammelan venue.
iii) Participants will have to submit their original ticket or print-out of their e-tickets for reimbursement.
iv) It will not be possible to reimburse the fair on the basis of the SMS from IRCTC for reservation of tickets.
v) Participants coming to attend the Sammelan will be required to produce a letter of endorsement of their participation, issued by their Community Radio Station management.
vi) Any change in the name of the participant must be intimated to the organizers at least 48 hours in advance.
vii) Translators will be provided at the Sammelan venue, therefore, there is no need for organizations to send an extra participant to facilitate translations. However, an exception to this will be made only for physically challenged participants.
viii) Participants travelling by road will have to provide bus tickets or hired car/ cab receipts. The reimbursements will be made in adherence to prevailing rules of the Government of India. But this will not exceed the fare for AC - II tier travel as per the fares cited on the IRCTC site /or government transport authorities.
ix) Each participant is requested to carry a valid government issued identity proof with his/her photograph on it. This will facilitate checking into the hotel as well as entry into the Vigyan Bhawan in the event of any security requirements.

Community based Disaster Risk Reduction There is immense potential for the role of Community Radio, especially with regard to mobilising communities at times of disasters and medical emergencies and in securing the communities against disasters and promoting risk reduction. This session will also delve into issues related to making communities resilient; the role of CR in promoting livelihood generation and other economic activities. The operational CR stations would also share their experiences in tackling floods, cyclones and the tsunami.

CR for Indigenous and Marginalised Communities. CR stations set up in remote tribal regions and rural communities have their own peculiar set of challenges. This session will help appreciate the issues these stations are besieged with and look at ways of meeting the challenges they face. |
Group Lead
Fr Thomas Joseph Therakam, Radio Mattoli
Rapporteur: Vipin Raj, Radio Media Village Hall No: 2 |
CR in the Cities Experiences of urban Community Radio Stations will point to what the future looks like. India’s plans towards changing its demographic profile mean that more people flock to cities as years roll by. In this scenario, Community Radio, with a stress on participatory media, could address media-related issues. |

Opportunities and Challenges of Campus CR Stations The CR Stations have provided much space to community media. There are interesting experiences already available to the Community Radio practitioners and there are also robust campus CR Stations that offer much to learn from. |
Group Lead Ms Pinky Chandran, Radio Active
Rapporteur: Ms Shamanthaka Mani, Radio Sarathi Hall No: 4 |
Transition of management of CR to Communities While a number of Community Radio Stations have been set up as initiatives of NGOs, yet the management of these stations has passed on to the communities in which these operate. The process of this transition has come with its own lessons for the communities and this needs to be further understood. |
