Today is Public Service Broadcasting Day. This day is observed on the 12th of November every year to mark the historic address of Father of the nation and freedom Fighter Mahatma Gandhi through the radio.
A red-letter day in the History of Broadcasting, father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi paid his first and only visit to the Broadcasting House in New Delhi on this day in 1947. Mahatma Gandhi addressed the grief-stricken Indians staying in Kurukshetra, and displaced from Pakistan, through a special broadcast on the country’s festival Deepawali. Freedom fighter Rajkumari Amrit Kaur also accompanied him during the visit.
I am sharing a few pictures from the past- images that are precious to me, clicked in the same All India Radio premises, few fortunately recorded in the Gandhi Studio, the historic space.
I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to all the broadcasters and production staff who have been the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Your dedication and tireless efforts are truly commendable. It is because of your work that our culture, heritage, history, and music have been preserved for generations. I only hope that the youth of today and tomorrow will come to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions you have made in safeguarding our collective legacy.
To add, Tinka Jail Radio has contributed to public service broadcasting by attempting to introduce prison radios in different jails
