The Focus

Community Radio

Gurgaon Ki Awaaz addresses the needs of the hundreds of villages, semi-urban clusters, and urban slums that fall within a 10-km radius around Udyog Vihar, stretching to Dhankot in the south, Sultanpur in the west, and Sohna in the east. The reach: • Villagers living in and around Gurgaon • Schoolchildren in all government schools in the 15-km

radius footprint area. • Migrant workers from Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa,

Uttar Pradesh and other parts of Haryana, and their families

Community Radio

It aims at a two-way process of communication. • FROM doctors, educators, NGOs, companies,

individuals and the administration TO a vast rural, semi-urban and slum community living and working in and around Gurgaon.

• FROM women, children, youth and adolescents belonging to this rural migrant community TO their own community, and to the world at large.

• Their voices, their stories, their songs, their questions, their concerns.
