Raipur agri university gets clearance to start CR station ...
By RnMTeam

MUMBAI: The Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur, Chhattisgarh has
signed a Grant of Permission Agreement for establishing, maintaining and
operating a Community Radio Station with the information and broadcasting
ministry.

A Letter of Intent had been issued to the institute after recommendations
of Inter Ministerial Committee and seeking requisite clearances from
various Ministries. The Community Radio Station is expected to be
operational within three months as per the agreement. With this, the
number of CRS will increase to 54 in the country.

Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) aims to help development in
agriculture and allied fields by increasing quality manpower, providing
relevant technological solutions, piloting their fields uses and
supporting other related activities. The university has the objective to
at least double the crop yields in the region with appropriate increase in
livestock husbandry, fishery and agro forestry.

To make its mission possible the university strives continuously to
provide quality education in the areas of agriculture and allied Sciences,
to undertake basic, applied and adoptive research and to develop the most
appropriate solutions and technologies that are relevant to the area and
which can elevate the socio- economic conditions of the people. Through
the Community Radio Station, IGKV also aims to provide direct and indirect
education and technological support to the public in general and to
farmers in the area in particular to improve agriculture productivity and
the economic situation of the rural people. Commercial potential of the
agriculture sector in the area would also be facilitated.

Media & freedom of expression

DRC: PROBE DEATH THREATS AGAINST WOMEN JOURNALISTS

http://tinyurl.com/llnnz5

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has condemned the death
threats issued against Kadi Adzuba and Delphine Namuto of Radio Okapi and
Jolly Kamuntu of the privately-owned radio station, Radio Maendeleo, who
were all threatened through an unknown SMS in Bukavu, capital of South
Kivu province in the east of DRC.

LIBERIA: PRESIDENT SUES NEWSPAPER FOR LIBEL

http://tinyurl.com/m2elos

The Liberian leader president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has filed a lawsuit
against the New Broom newspaper for libel, amounting to $5 million in
damages. The paper recently accused president Sirleaf of receiving US$2
million as kickback to favor a company for control of the Cavalla Robber
Plantation in the south eastern region of Liberia.
******

UGANDA: END MEDIA CLAMPDOWN

http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2009/09/15/uganda-end-media-clampdown

The Ugandan government should immediately allow radio stations and
programming that it closed down after protests in Kampala last week to
return to the air and should investigate the arrest and abuse of a
prominent journalist, Robert Kalundi Sserumaga, Human Rights Watch has
said.
******

ZIMBABWE: MISA CONCERNED BY ZANU-PF HATE-SPEECH

http://www.swradioafrica.com/news170909/misa170909.htm

Media watchdog, the Media Institute for Southern Africa – Zimbabwe, has
expressed grave concern over the upsurge of hate speech against the
private media and perceived opponents, by members of ZANU PF and the state
controlled media. Earlier this week army commander, Lieutenant-General
Phillip Valerio Sibanda, berated foreign based Zimbabwean radio stations,
accusing them of being at war with Zimbabwe and urged the military to
'guard against them'. This has been widely seen as meaning that
journalists broadcasting into Zimbabwe are legitimate military targets
because they threaten the state.

[creative-radio] Environment Radio Soap Opera for Rural Vietnam

 

Environment Radio Soap Opera for Rural Vietnam
This project drew on the use of radio to bridge key knowledge gaps and
motivate farmers to modify their attitudes and practices. Initiated by the
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in June 2006, the project
involved a total of 239 episodes broadcast twice weekly over Voice of Ho
Chi Minh and other provincial radio stations to reach 2 million people in
the rural areas of the Mekong Delta. The strategy of
entertainment-education (EE) was used here to share information with rice
farmers about environmental conservation principles, methods to reduce
environmental impacts, and ways to protect ecosystem services, with the
ultimate goal of modifying farmers' attitudes towards - and behaviours
concerning - the use of farm chemicals, burning straw, water use
efficiency, wildlife, soil health, and biological control.

[creative-radio] Abua Disum Abua Raj on All India Radio

 

Abua Disum Abua Raj - India
Broadcast since October 2006 on All India Radio, this weekly programme
reaches out to listeners in the Munda-tribal-dominated Khunti region of
Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Community radio is here used as a platform to
educate and mobilise as well as to entertain, to the end of generating
awareness, capacitating "the voiceless" to demand that their rights be
respected, and - in general - bringing about a "pro-poor" policy shift.
Alternative for India Development (AID) engages local people to either
help as volunteers or to use their interest and skills related to
scriptwriting, performing songs, and developing dramas. Listeners clubs
formed in villages provide AID with a means of seeking feedback about the
programmes and sparking ideas for additional issues to bring to light
through the broadcasts.
