<p>The Shyamalvani Community Radio Station seeks to empower the community by bringing about improvement in their environs, foster a sense of brotherhood and encourage the use of modern technology to bring about progress.</p>

<p>It was some 60 years ago that Dinamalar began to stand out not just as news provider but as &nbsp;society builder by making education more meaningful and employable. The publisher and educationist took up the task of empowering the community around the campus and Shyamalavani was set up.</p>

Content is yet to be updated by the station.

<p>Signature programmes: Kovli Vasal, Vidiyallin Thodakkam,Vaanam Vasapadum,Thedal Puthithu, Salai Santhippu ,Anubavam Puthumai,Sinthanai Sirgugal, Vaan Vidu Thoothu. Community Participation: Students play a significant role in creating content. Community meetings are organised and representatives chosen to present the views as phone-ins, talks and interviews. Awareness programmes on TB, AIDS, STD and other diseases are conducted, involving health workers, village administrators and community workers. Even elders are involved in programmes related to Indian culture, heritage and customs. Innovations in Format: Programmes are discussion-based and are mostly on interesting topics like the Bermuda Triangle, mathematical theories and youth adolescent issues. Children too participate in programmes through singing and devotional recitation.</p>

<p>Funding and Partnerships The radio station was set up with funds provided by the Subbalakshmi Lakshmipathy Foundation. The Community Radio Station hopes that advertising revenue may begin to trickle in with DAVP empanelment.</p>

<p>The radio can pose a threat to established powers like the village headman and political bigwigs as it consolidates community participation in broadcast activities. Female and child-oriented programmes have created awareness amongst the womenfolk and they have in turn encouraged men to seek guidance from the Community Radio Station. <br />Dhanam&acirc;, a village woman, heading a family was so moved to action by the radio station that she had within months set up a group of more than 20 women who began farming and cattle breeding.</p>
