“Earlier I wanted to be an RJ but now I think there are more excellent options in Radio.”

^Pehchaan Radio club members get a feel of Radio Industry^

 -By Damini Bindra

As a part of Pehchaan Radio Club initiative of Nada India in collaboration with D.A.V Vasant Kunj, a workshop 3^rd in the series was conducted on 15^th May 2012 at D.A.V school Vasant Kunj Delhi, it involved the participation of Pehchaan Radio Club. The workshop was facilitated by Ms.Vindhya online coordinator of the club. The objective of the workshop was to familiarise the students with the conceptual and practical knowledge of Radio.

 The keen participants under the guidance of Ms. Abha Narula, and Ms. V.Pallavi co-ordinator for Pehchaan Radio club came up with some good ideas of logo designs for the club. Few of them reported back the assignments like media reflection diary, slogan writing etc.

A presentation was also given by Ms.Damini Bindra, an intern with Nada India on the topic ‘Radio in India’. She briefed the participants on the advent of Radio, organisational hierarchy and functioning of Radio, different radio services and virtues of a good radio professional.

Later in the day a visit to the Radio and Television Department of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) was organised for the participants. Mr. Rashid a faculty member of IIMC elaborated the club members on production of a radio program. He provided those intricate details like how to record, edit, write and produce a radio story of their own. IIMC which runs a community radio from its campus called ‘Apna Radio 96.9 MHz’ helped the students to record a mock link for their better practical understanding of Radio.

The students after the visit were fervent and keen to start producing their own Radio shows. A participant named Silvia quoted “Earlier I wanted to be an RJ but now I think there are more excellent options in Radio.”
