<p><span>Radio Dhadkan is a CR station whose aim is to empower the community, especially Sahariya tribal group, to create and access information relative to their local development needs. Radio Dhadkan was developed by Sambhav to serve communities within a 8 km radius of the CR station. The goal is to use Radio Dhadkan to disseminate vital information on several social issues and to use it as a communication tool through which it would incorporate existing organizational initiatives. Radio Dhadkan covers a population of over 140,000 (in 21 villages and urban parts of Shivpuri).Based on community consultation, programmes are created on a number of issues, including employment, water and electricity, education, early marriage, alcoholism, sexism, and corruption. During narrowcasting, radio programmes are played on a portable tape player and feedback regarding programmes is elicited from listener groups; based on this feedback, programmes are modified for broadcast.An integral part of this process is the contribution of experience, knowledge, and folk music from the community. </span></p> <p>Since its inception Radio Dhadkan has been a part of projects like&nbsp; Project Axshya, Gali Gai Sim Sim and organizations like BBC World Service Trust, Sesame Street, Development Alternatives and Australian Aid.</p>

<p><span>Since its inception, Radio Dhadkan has covered a population of over 170,000 (in 51 villages and some parts of urban Shivpuri). Of this population, approximately 20.3 per cent are SC, eight per cent are ST, and 43.67 per cent are Other Backward Classes (OBC). One of Radio Dhadkan's major strategic goals has been to include maximum number of people, especially Sahariya from the community in the management committee, radio station staff, and village facilitators. Therefore, these people have been recruited and trained to work in the radio station. Until recently, Radio Dhadkan has begun generating volunteers among adolescent girls; so as to increase community participation. The community has always been included in decision making process regarding programme subject selection, programme development, and programme finalisation. Programmes have holistically focused upon the issues in terms of their content and presentation.</span></p> <p><span><span>Signature Programme:</span><br /><span>Bal Jagat is the signature programme of the CRS.
