Open school launches its own radio channel

27-Dec-2015

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) launched its own community radio station on Friday

Allotted a frequency of 91.2, it will cover a radius of 10-15 kilometers from NIOS' headquarters in Noida.

The National Institute of Open Schooling is hoping to reach more than 10 lakh people for three-four hours every day and plans to increase its broadcast gradually.

"NIOS will utilise the community radio to educate local communities, particularly people enrolled with the institute. The community radio aspires to reach out primarily to those out of school. Learners would be able to listen to lectures delivered from NIOS' studios and ask questions," read a statement from the institute.

Programmes for parents and teachers will also be started, it added.
