Dr Vinod Jain, KGMU speaking about the service said, “The community radio is being started by KGMU with the aim to reach out to the masses and to remove their doubts regarding health-related issues through an educational programme. We had applied to the Centre for this in 2017, and we got allotted a frequency now. After that, we have built the premises as per standards, and it was inaugurated on June 12,” Jain said.

“Apart from public health, we will also run educational programs for medical, para-medical, and nursing students. The Centre’s policies and KGMU’s facilities will also be promoted through the radio so that it reaches the people and they can take the benefit of these,” he added.
