Dear Community Radio Station Supporters:
The Mann Deshi Foundation has successfully launched Mann Deshi Tarang, the Mhaswad community local radio station. We inaugurated the station on December 16, 2008. The response to the radio station has been overwhelmingly positive.
The radio station broadcasts programs by involving the local community, which not only takes care of the needs of the community but also provides a platform to the local community to express their artistic talent. Given below are the topics which are covered through such programs:
o Local information o Agriculture & related activities such as dairy, poultry etc. o Use & utility of banks & other financial services. o Women & Self Help Groups o Child Education o Various Government and Non-Government Development programs o Local Culture & Entertainment. o Personality Development o Health & Hygiene
Mann Deshi Tarang also gives opportunity to the local indigenous groups to take the voice of the community to the community - for example, the performers recite poems and poetry written by local saints and poets and perform musical programs, which exhibits to local music and local songs.
Mann Deshi Tarang requests your continued support as programming expands due to increased demand. Affectionately, Chetna
