MIZORAM
Mizoram represents a culturally cohesive and geographically unique state within the North Eastern Zone of the Federation of Community Radio Stations (FCRS). Community Radio in Mizoram plays a transformative role in strengthening grassroots participation, promoting media literacy, preserving indigenous heritage, and supporting sustainable development initiatives.
Community Radio Development in Mizoram
Community Radio Stations across Mizoram operate in hill districts and rural settlements where access to mainstream media can be limited. These stations function as trusted communication platforms for participatory dialogue and transparent governance.
Programming includes educational awareness, youth skill development initiatives, agriculture advisory sessions, and health outreach campaigns tailored to local needs. Broadcasting in Mizo language strengthens cultural identity and ensures inclusive communication.
Community radio also plays a critical role in promoting disaster preparedness, especially during landslides and heavy rainfall periods. Verified information dissemination enhances public safety and resilience.
FCRS collaboration in Mizoram focuses on technical capacity building, sustainability planning, content innovation, and cross-station networking to ensure long-term viability of community broadcasting.
