<p>Radio Adan has a vision to ensure community participation in all programmes of the Community Radio Station. Radio Adnan makes every effort to engage villagers and farmers to increase their knowledge in various fields of agricultural produce. A credible rapport has been established with the community through programmes like Kheti Badi and Sehat.</p>
