It was not until 1936 that the then Indian State Broadcasting Service (established in 1930) was officially turned into All India Radio or Akashvani. The two clubs went bankrupt within a matter of years.
In India, radio broadcasting started with the Radio Club of Bombay in June 1923, followed by the Calcutta Radio Club in the same year. To celebrate radio and its importance, and to honour the day United Nations Radio was started, the UN adopted 13 February as World Radio Day in 2012.
And it’s this versatility that helps it maintain its relevance in the age of the internet. From the more commercialised FM radio to Vividh Bharti, radio is that versatile medium that has something for everyone. If you’ve grown up in the pre-2010s, the radio was probably a constant in the background, be it at home or on the road. New Delhi: Music, news, gossip, announcements and a lot of entertainment - radio has it all.
