Mission & Vission

Radio Mewat also works to ensure community participation, collective engagement, and creative praxis to strengthen the idea of hope and to raise self esteem.</p>

Programme

<p>Signature Programme: GaonGaonkiBaat; Hamaro Raj Panchayati Raj: SamjhokinaSamjho Community Participation: Since 90 per cent of the programmes are community-based and are produced with the engagement of the community every possible method is used and is being explored. For instance, the open door policy of the station enables walk-in guests, who contribute to the content. Innovations in format An innovative exercise has been to get the police department to use the radio station to address issues pertaining to women on priority and also to resolve long pending civil cases. Radio Mewat has been attempting to fix a day with the SP, DC and departmental heads to address issues live. Membership drives and forming Radio MewatMitras along with recording one message from the member is a popular innovation.</p>

Partnership & Funding

<p>Funding and Partnerships: Infrastructure has been provided by UNESCO and SMART. We also get funding from Government advertisements, sponsored programs, local advertisement, action based pilot projects. In the future, we hope for an increase in advertisements from DAVP and put in a component of Radio broadcast in all projects of SMART.</p>

Impact & Stories

<p>Radio Mewat recently launched a programme on Powering Democracy through Panchayats: This has created a wave of excitement in the community. Groups of people have been putting pressure on the Sarpanch to hold Gram Sabha meetings. The people have called to say that they were not aware of the role of the Panchayats earlier.</p> <p>Our health programmes help people. For instance, a mother who was seeing a quack was informed of the dis-advantages by listening to a radio show and decided to approach a doctor at Mandikheda hospital for her daughter&rsquo;s treatment.</p> <p>Radio Mewat won National Community Radio Award - 2013 for innovative programming.</p>
