<p>Chicholi Radio has a vision to ensure community participation in development, welfare of the Gond community of the area. The Chicholi Community Radio makes all efforts to engage the villagers and Gond farmers to enhance their knowledge in various fields of agriculture education and production. Chicholi Community Radio tries to broadcasts rural and common language such as Gondi, Korku etc that people appreciate and understanding.</p>

<p>The Chicholi Community Radio Station is situated in the midst of a tribal community that lacks facilities for proper education and awareness. The idea behind setting up Community Radio was to improve the education, knowledge and social awareness of the local population. The Gond community faces getting extinct and a need to preserve their tradition and culture (besides raising knowledge and awareness of the tribal people) was another reason behind the idea of setting up the the Chicholi Community Radio Station among them.</p>

Content is yet to be updated by the station.

Signature Programme dharohar apne pradesh ki (broadcasting about the historical places, rivers etc). Community Participation: The program topics and subjects are discussed amongst the content management committee members and changes in programs are carried out upon receipt of feedback from listeners. As the Chicholi Community Radio Station is established among the people, most listeners visit the Radio Station on their own initiative. They appreciate the programmes aired by the Radio Station. Most viewers are interested in listing local tribal music, mostly obtained through their local community. Innovations in format: On field communication, communicating with officers’ from different department to know about the welfare schemes launched by the government for the community is done in innovative ways and a combination of formats is helpful.

Funding and Partnerships: Infrastructure was developed by the tribal welfare department, Vanya, Swaraj, UNFPA and other government departments support content generation for programming.

<p>It is strongly felt that the government-owned All India Radio and privately-owned FM&rsquo;s space for local communities is being lost and thus right full space for alternate voice can be created through Community Radio Stations.<br />After the Community Radio Stations were established, the community got and understood the government schemes. The reason is that programme are in their local dialects and it informs them of their rights and entitlements.</p>
