The Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to connect to you through radio. He wants you to suggest him how to do it. Suggestions can be given on >www.mygov.in
The website introduces the concept by saying, “You have seen him on television, heard his speeches on the internet, visited his historic rallies and 'followed' him on social media. Now, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to interact with you through the radio! From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Maharashtra to Manipur the PM would interact with the people of India.”
People have been asked to suggest the outline and structure of the radio address. Views can be given on four key aspects. The first one is frequency of the address which mean how often should the address be-monthly, once in two months, once in three months? Should the days be decided - for example 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at a fixed time 11 AM.
The second aspect is nature of the address and topics. This means, "What ground should it cover - should it be a general address to the nation or should it cover specific topics such as good governance, women empowerment, self-sufficiency in defence.”
The third aspect is structure of the address where the Prime Minister would like to know what format he follow?
People have also been asked to suggest name of the address. “Suggest a title for the series of addresses. The name must be creative and capture the true essence behind such a programme,” the website says.
Currently, Radio has much wider reach than any other source of information.
According to information available on the website of All India Radio, 99.2 per cent of population and 92 per cent of the geographical area of the country covered by its radio broadcast through primary grade signals (combination of Medium Wave or MW and Frequency Modulation or FM signal).
It can be heard on fixed radio sets, portable transistors, mobile hand set and MP3 players.
