Everything in Radio: Broadcasting to the Masses

Sreedher's outstanding work in science and education in AIR was taken further when he joined IGNOU, and worked on Gyan Darshan and Gyan Vani. His pioneering efforts in community radio resulted in India's first such station in Chennai, and let on to some exemplary projects. As an initiator of the Development Communicators Forum, he created an important platform for bringing together professionals in this field. These and many other facets are covered in this interesting book, which inter--twines his personal experience with the evolution of the use of radio and television for education and development. I would consider this a must-read for professionals and students in this field . Kiran Karnik, Former President, NASSCOM and DECU, ISRO, 1983-99.
