<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Prime Minister Narendra Modi, prior to the commencement of his maiden US visit, last month launched
‘Make in India’, a major national initiative which focuses on making India a global manufacturing hub.
Key thrust of the programme would be on cutting down in delays in manufacturing projects clearance, develop
adequate infrastructure and make it easier for companies to do business in India. The 25 key sectors identified
under the programme include automobiles, auto components, bio-technology, chemicals, defence
manufacturing, electronic systems, food processing, leather, mining, oil & gas, ports, railways, ports and textile.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The national progamme aims at time-bound project clearances through a single online portal which will be
further supported by the eight-member team dedicated to answering investor queries within 48 hours and
addressing key issues including labor laws, skill development and infrastructure.
The objective of the mega programme is to ensure that manufacturing sector which contributes around 15% of
the country’s Gross Domestic Products is increased to 25% in next few years.
Speaking to more than 500 top global CEOs along with captains of Indian industry at the event in Vigyan
Bhawan, New Delhi on September 25th, Prime Minister termed 'Make in India' initiative a lion step to usher in
increased manufacturing in the country, which will ultimately generate more employment opportunities for the
poor and give greater purchasing power in their hands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The mega even was watched live in several cities in
India and abroad through video conferencing,
He urged the domestic as well as global investors not to look at India merely as a market, but instead see it as an
opportunity. “When we talk of Make in India, we are not just offering a competitive situation and we give you
an opportunity to create a huge market for your product. After all, handsome buyer is equally important as cost
effective manufacturing.,” Modi told a packed audience.
Cutting down on procedural delay
However, for making India an investment hub, the first and foremost importance step would be to create a
efficient administrative machinery which would cut down on delays in project clearances. Economists say that
India has been very stringent when it comes to giving procedural and regulatory clearances. Besides a time
bound clearance from all regulatory authority would create a conducive environment for business. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Prime Minister acknowledged that India being ranked low on the ‘ease of doing business’ ranking by
World Bank and added that he has started to sensitize the Government officials in this regard. On his recent
meeting with World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, Modi said “World Bank President was also expressing this
worry. Probably we were 135th in the world at that time. If we have to come to 50 from 135 then Government
alone can do this. If Government brings transparency in its decisions and rules, pushes works with simplicity we
can occupy number 50 from 135 in ease of doing business,”. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Delay in getting regulatory clearances lead to rise in cost of production. A leading multinational automobile
major said "costs of production in India increase because of various government policies, procedures,
regulations and the way some of the laws are implemented,". The quicker the government addresses these
challenges its better for the industry to set up facilities in the country.
For providing better infrastructure for the industry, there has been a big constraint in term of land acquisition.
Often land acquisition for the industrial purpose run into trouble at the local level. Tax sops & focus on innovation
Economists have noted that with the globalization becoming a reality, Indian manufacturers will have to
compete with the best and cheapest the rest of the world has to offer even in the domestic market. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They urged for providing tax concessions to any industry which would set up manufacturing facility in the
country. Besides a critical aspect is the country’s huge small and medium-sized industries which could play a
big role in making the country take the next big leap in manufacturing.
“India should be more focused towards novelty and innovation for the sectors indentified and integration with
the country’s premier institute for carrying out research and development would be critical to the success of the
make in India programme,” a leading industrialist said.
Skill development & thrust on education
Stressing that his government has given top priority to skill development, Prime Minister had said the
government is currently doing mapping for assessing skill manpower demand for specific sectors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He noted that
there has to be synchronization between the objectives of the government, academic world, industry and job
seekers for ensuring that industry specific skills are imparted.
Experts argue that the country needs to focus on quality education not just skill development. “In the emerging
economy, people will need to continuously learn new skills to meet the economy’s changing requirements,” an
official with an industry association observed.
Prime Minister also promised that specific sectors would be asked to access Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)
located across the country to train manpower locally as per their needs. “You will get a good worker for your
industry and our ITI will start running. Our youngsters will get employment, his family will be strengthened and
better purchasing power will help the economy. ,” Modi told top industrialists.
In the last couple of years, National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) initiated work on creating a labour
market information system which would help industry sourcing their manpower requirement. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After getting information on labour market, the government would provide accredition to manpower agencies
so that the industry can access information on the manpower requirement.
Reforms in the labour laws
Besides the skill development, labour law flexibility is a key element for the success of this campaign for
increasing manufacturing in the country. Economists say that “labour law flexibility does not imply ‘hire and
fire’ policy, it’s about providing a sound social safety net to workers.”
Experts say that the country has some of the most comprehensive labour laws at the same time a large parts of
working population do not have access to social security net.
Prime Minister had stressed the faster the bulk of Indian middle class increases, the faster people move from
poverty to middle class, the faster will be their conversion into a favourable market for the world. He said his
government's focus will be on physical infrastructure creation as well as creating a digital network for making
India a hub for global manufacturing of goods ranging from cars to softwares, satellites to submarines and paper
to power. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A leading Economist said the big challenge for ‘Make in India’ campaign would face constant comparison with
China's 'Made in China' campaign. The China launched the campaign at the same day as India seeking to retain its manufacturing prowess. “India should constantly keep up its strength so as to outpace China's supremacy in
the manufacturing sector,” he noted.
Categorically stating that there is a need for some fundamental changes in Indian economy so that the country
emerges as global manufacturing base, Modi explained “on the one hand, manufacturing growth is to be
promoted, at the same time we need to ensure that direct benefit goes to the youngsters of India. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He should get
employment so that there is improvement in the economic situation of even the poorest family. These poor
should move towards middle class and there purchasing power should improve. This will lead to manufacturing
growth and growth of the market,”.
Demographic dividend
Notwithstanding the challenges faced in making India a manufacturing hub, the country is poised to reap rich
dividend for being one of the youngest nations in the world.
According to reports by 2020, India is set to become the world’s youngest country with 64% of its population in
the working age group.
With the Western countries, Japan and even China aging, this demographic potential offers India and its
growing economy an edge that economists believe could add a significant 2% to the GDP growth rate annually. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Prime Minister also had said that India is the only country in the world which offers the unique combination of
democracy, demography, and demand from a rising middle class.
Besides, the campaign would ensure closer centre and states relations for promoting India as a global
manufacturing hub. “If investment comes in the States, it comes in India also. States and Centre should work
collectively, shoulder to shoulder as a team. they should find solution together and things move forward,”. Modi
urged.
Although a sound beginning has been made for the Make in India campaign, now the ball is in the government’s
court to ensure its success. </span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Virtual Currency : A Complete Draft</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Virtual currency is a medium of exchange that operates like a currency in some environments, but does not have all the attributes of real currency. In particular, Virtual currency does not have legal tender status in any jurisdiction. It is a type of unregulated, digital money, which is issued and usually controlled by its developers, and used and accepted among the members of a specific Virtual community, and it is digital unit of exchange that is not backed by a government-issued legal tender. Virtual currencies can be used entirely within a Virtual economy, or can be used in lieu of a government-issued currency to purchase goods and services in the real economy. A form of unregulated digital money, not issued or guaranteed by a central bank, which can act as means of payment. Virtual currency refers to the unit of exchange used in Virtual worlds. Originally provided to users of Virtual worlds by game creators for use in-game, a robust market has developed for these currencies offline.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Virtual currencies have come in many forms, beginning as currencies within online computer gaming environments and social networks, and developing into means of payment accepted "offline" or in "real life." It is now increasingly possible to use Virtual currencies as a means to pay for goods and services with retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues. These transactions often do not incur any fees or charges, and do not involve a bank. More recently, the Virtual currency "Bitcoin" has set the scene for a new generation of decentralised, peer-to-peer Virtual currencies often also referred to as crypto-currencies. Virtual currencies can be bought at an exchange platform using conventional currency. They are then transferred to a personalised account known as a "digital wallet." Using this wallet, consumers can send Virtual currencies online to anyone else willing to accept them, or convert them back into a conventional fiat currency (such as the Euro, Pound or Dollar).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Linden Lab, the creator of Second Life, has been credited with creating the first currency system in a Virtual world. The basis for Second Life's Virtual economy is the "Linden Dollar," or "L$." Users may buy and sell Linden Dollars on the "Lindex" or "Linden Exchange," which Linden Lab operates. As of September 2009, the exchange rate on the Lindex is approximately 270 Linden Dollars for each U.S. Dollar. Users may sell Linden Dollars on the Lindex and cash out the sale proceeds in U.S. Dollars into their PayPal accounts. Linden Lab monitors and manages the Lindex to keep it stable, and has implemented anti-fraud and anti-money laundering measures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Given this framework for conducting business, "Second Life has been a starting ground for many real life companies to explore the opportunities for Virtual business and marketing." Many users have even used Second Life to earn money by creating, advertising, and selling Virtual goods such as clothing and accessories as well as by operating entertainment venues and offering scripting and creative services to major businesses and universities. This model has been replicated in many other Virtual worlds to varying degrees.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The possibility of a globally recognized Virtual or digital currency seemed its closest ever in 2013 as Bitcoin, a cryptographically secured monetary unit (or crypto-currency) developed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, gained in popularity and value and began to make inroads into mainstream financial transactions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At its core Virtual currency is decentralized “digital cash” that was designed as both a payment network and a unit of account native to the Internet and are person-to-person deals requiring no bank or money transmitter to facilitate. This means that they are irreversible, are very fast, and have very low or no costs. Unlike the procedure in a cash transaction, however, an individual does not need to be standing next to a person to transfer money. Users install free open-source “wallet” software on their computers or mobile devices, a function that allows them to send and receive the currency to and from anyone else connected to the Internet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a form of money, Virtual currency is a new concept. Governments around the world in 2013 began to seriously examine the technology to discern how best to regulate it, or not, and whether transactions using digital currency could be taxed. This kind of regulation is made especially difficult because they are not operated by any company or residing in any physical location. As a result, the users can be affected by government decisions and actions, but the protocol itself cannot. In this way they represent nonpolitical competition for government-issued hard currency in a way never before seen. This could lead to a reinvention of how social programs are funded or to attempts by government entities to ban that competition in order to better protect the value of national currencies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Reserve Bank of India has cautioned the users and has notified various risk factors to the holders and traders of Virtual currencies (VCs), including Bitcoins, about the potential financial, operational, legal, customer protection and security related risks that they are exposing themselves to. The Reserve Bank has mentioned that it has been looking at the developments relating to certain electronic records claimed to be “Decentralised Digital Currency” or “Virtual Currency” (VCs), such as, Bitcoins, litecoins, bbqcoins, dogecoins etc., their usage or trading in the country and the various media reports in this regard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The creation, trading or usage of VCs including Bitcoins, as a medium for payment are not authorised by any central bank or monetary authority. No regulatory approvals, registration or authorisation is stated to have been obtained by the entities concerned for carrying on such activities. As such, they may pose several risks to their users.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• VCs being in digital form are stored in digital/electronic media that are called electronic wallets. Therefore, they are prone to losses arising out of hacking, loss of password, compromise of access credentials, malware attack etc. Since they are not created by or traded through any authorised central m registry or agency, the loss of the e-wallet could result in the permanent loss of the VCs held in them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• Payments by VCs, such as Bitcoins, take place on a peer-to-peer basis without an authorised central agency which regulates such payments. As such, there is no established framework for recourse to customer problems / disputes / charge backs etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• There is no underlying or backing of any asset for VCs. As such, their value seems to be a matter of speculation. Huge volatility in the value of VCs has been noticed in the recent past. Thus, the users are exposed to potential losses on account of such volatility in value.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• It is reported that VCs, such as Bitcoins, are being traded on exchange platforms set up in various jurisdictions whose legal status is also unclear. Hence, the traders of VCs on such platforms are exposed to legal as well as financial risks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• There have been several media reports of the usage of VCs, including Bitcoins, for illicit and illegal activities in several jurisdictions. The absence of information of counterparties in such peer-to-peer anonymous/ pseudonymous systems could subject the users to unintentional breaches of Anti-Money Laundering and Combating The Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) laws.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Reserve Bank has also stated that it is presently examining the issues associated with the usage, holding and trading of VCs under the extant legal and regulatory framework of the country, including Foreign Exchange and Payment Systems laws and regulations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Input from various agencies)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Educational Radio in India</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> In the contemporary world, we can
undoubtedly say that radio is the
most popular as well as powerful tools
of dissemination of information and
education. Radio has its unique value
in the society. It provides a platform
where members of a society can discuss
their problems, issues and
exchange views. It develops a sense
of belonging among the members of a
society. Therefore, Matt Mollgaard has
rightly commented in his book Radio
and Society: New Thinking for an Old
Medium. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The MacBride Commission Report
‘Many Voices One World’ says, ‘in
developing countries, radio is the only
medium that can really be labelled
‘mass’, where a large portion of the
population can be reached by radio
broadcasts and possess the means to
receive them. No other medium now
has the potential to reach so many
people so efficiently for information,
educational, cultural and entertainment
purposes. Radio can be used easily
and economically to reach outlying
regions and for communication in the many vernacular- often unwritten- languages
existing in developing countries.’
Though this report was published
in 1980 by the UNESCO, after
long three decades, it may be claimed
that still radio stands in its original
position as the most vibrant communication
tool globally. Especially for
knowledge proliferation, radio is considered
as the most effective weapon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Radio has the power to bring the world
to the classroom, and programs could
be presented as textbooks of the air.
Radio is used as an effective and
interesting tool in education both for
formal and informal education. Where
conditions have permitted, it has
become well established and wide
spread; yet, it seems to us that insufficient
educational use is made of this
virtually universal method of distribution.
Radio programs emphasized contemporary
progressive ideas on education
and progressive political notions that
were not represented in schoolbooks
at that time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Educational radio programs
is regarded as an important way
to influence individual children and
adolescents when they had problems
or needed guidance in societal matters.
Radio was also used to inculcate
new notions of citizenship.In Europe
the French state broadcasting service
devotes more than one-half of its radio
output to educational and cultural
broadcasts in the arts, letters, and sciences
educational programming
accounts for about 4 percent of radio
time in Australia.
Radio has been extensively used as an
educational medium in developing
countries like India, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, South Korea, Mali,
Guatemala, Botswana, South Africa,
Zambia, Uganda, Mexico, Philippines
and also proved its impact and efficiency
in health, agriculture and other
development issues.
In India, the All India Radio is the pioneer
in the field of educational broadcasting.
Radio came to India through
amateurs with educational purpose first
in1923 in a small way and after four
years it could find its root here. Since
its inception, AIR has been serving the
nation with its array of programmes and
services. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The contribution of AIR in
popularizing classical and folk music,
news services, extension educational
programmes like rural broadcasting,
educational programmes, programmes
for the youth and the family planning
programmes, external services directed
to foreign countries are the most
worth mentioning. Educational programmes
of AIR cover a wide spectrum
of primary, secondary, tertiary and university
levels. Enrichment programmes
are also broadcast for teachers.
Education was first taken up by Radio
in January, 1929 in Bombay on an
occasional and informal way to be followed
at Madras next year in April,
school broadcast was started with a
view to educate the unprivileged pupils.
But in November, 1937 All India Radio,
Calcutta took up educational broadcast
in a systematic and regular manner
on getting requests from University
of Calcutta and Education Department
of Bengal Government.
If we discuss on the growth and development
of the educational radio in
India, a few landmark projects may be
remembered. The first such project
was the School Broadcast Project of
1937. It was experimented in four
metro cities of the country. The Audult
Education and Community
Development Project was commenced
in 1956. With the UNESCO, this project
was tried out in 144 villages of
Maharashtra. It was the first most successful
educational programme broadcast
by All India Radio. The Farm and
Home Broadcast project was administered
in 1966 to provide all necessary
information on agriculture and allied
topics.
The first higher education programme
was aired under the University
Broadcast Project, which was initiated
in 1965, with an aim to expand higher
education as widely as possible among
the different strata of society. The programmes
were prepared by the School
of Correspondence Studies of the
University of Delhi and the CIEFL,
Hyderabad for the All India radio. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The
another project ‘Language Learning
Project’ was commenced in 1979-80. It
was a joint venture of the AIR and the
Education department of the Rajasthan
Government to teach Hindi to the
school going children as first language
in 500 primary schools.
In Asia, the 44 radio and TV universities
in China (including the China
Central Radio and Television
University), Universities Terbuka in
Indonesia, and Indira Ghandi National
Open University have made extensive
use of radio and television, both for direct class teaching and for school broadcasting, to reach more of their
respective large populations. For these
institutions, broadcasts are often
accompanied by printed materials and
audio cassettes.For the distant learners
of the country, the landmark initaiative
was taken by the Indira Gandhi
National Open University in 1992 after
the University Broadcast Project of
University of Delhi. The Mumbai,
Hyderabad and Shillong stations of the
All India Radio were started broadcasting
of the IGNOU programmes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The
first interactive radio counselling was
started in 1998 by the AIR with the initiative
of IGNOU. It was a grand success
in the educational broadcasting
history in India. Likewise, K K Handiqui
State Open University, Assam started
an interactive radio phone in programme,
once in a month from the
beginning of the academic activities of
the university in 2008.
Gyan Vani is the first and only dedicated
educational radio in India. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After the
success of the Gyandarshan programme
on Doordarshan, the Indira
Gandhi National Open University was
planning to introduce independent FM
bands in 40 stations under the programme
named Gyan Vani. It is an
educational FM Radio network providing
programmes covering different
aspects and levels of education including
Primary and Secondary Education,
Adult Education, Technical and vocational
Education, Higher Education and
Extension Education. Gyan Vani,
launched in November 2001 is an educational
FM Radio channel operated
through FM stations from various
places in the country. With 10 FM stations
at Allahabad, Bangalore,
Coimbatore, Visakhapatnam, Mumbai,
Lucknow, Bhopal, Kolkata, Chennai
and Delhi already on air, the network is
slated to expand to a total of 40 stations.
Gyan Vani stations operate as
media cooperatives, with the day-today
programmes contributed by various
educational institutions, institutes,
NGOs, government and semi-government
organisations, UN agencies,
Ministries such as Agriculture,
Environment, Health, Women and
Child Welfare and Science and
Technology, etc.
In Assam, the regular broadcasting of
educational programme was first aired
by Akashvani, Guwahati on April 18,
1960 at 1.10 pm with the name of the
programme was ‘Vidyarthi Anusthan’
(programme for students). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are three general approaches to
the use of radio in education. First of all
broadcast may be the substitute of
teacher in class room. Secondly, providing
teaching-learning materials
through broadcast system; and thirdly,
general educational programming over
community, national and international
stations which provide general and
informal educational opportunities. IRI
can be the best example in this context.
Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI)
consists of “ready-made 20-30 minute
direct teaching and learning exercises
to the classroom on a daily basis. The
radio lessons, developed around specific
learning objectives at particular
levels of maths, science, health and
languages in national curricula, are
intended to improve the quality of
classroom teaching and to act as a
regular, structured aid to poorly trained
classroom teachers in underresourced
schools.” IRI projects have
been implemented in Latin America
and Africa. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In Asia, IRI was first implemented
in Thailand in 1980; Indonesia,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal rolled
out their own IRI projects in the 1990s.
Farm school on air as a method of
communicating distant education on
farming has been adopted by many
AIR stations in its early period of broadcasting.
Besides imparting technical
and other information, the thrust of the
broadcasts are dissemination of information
relating to ways and means for
increased production of vegetables
and fruits etc; diversification of agriculture,
social forestry, preservation of
environment and farm forestry; poverty
alleviation schemes, health and sanitation
etc.; adult education programmes
and role of panchayats in rural development.
Interactive broadcasts like the
Phone-in-Programme, Radio Bridge
and Voice Mail, apart from people's
forum programmes, are recent innovations
in AIR broadcasting. In the
Phone-in-Programme on education,
people call to the station on a given
telephone number at the time of broadcast
and ask questions regarding their
queries on education and the experts
at the broadcasting stations reply to
their queries immediately.
Using radio in educational system can
promote the confidence level of the
learners, which can raise the academic
standard as whole. On the other
hand it enables the teachers to share
their views and ideas related to
increasing academic performance. It
opens the way to enable the teachers
to asses their teaching qualities. It not
only encourages the competition
among the learners but also motivate
the teachers for constructive competition. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It offers the exposer to learners to
an educational environment beyond
the classroom which was strongly
emphasised by Gurudev Rabindranath
Tagore ‘Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high; where
knowledge is free; where the world has
not been broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls’.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Parliament passed the National Food Security Bill for ensuring food and nutritional security to the people. It gives right to the people to receive adequate quantity of food grains at affordable prices. Upto 75% of the rural population and upto 50% of the urban population will have uniform entitlement of 5kg food grains per month at highly subsidized prices of Rs.3, Rs. 2, Re. 1 per kg. for rice, wheat, coarse grains respectively. It will entitle about two thirds of our 1.2 billion population to subsidized foodgrain sunder the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS). </span></div>
