Community radio is a cultural mechanism that adapts perfectly to the needs of Indian society. ‘The tone of each community radio is well modulated in the image of its listeners. The important thing is to seek out differences. Community radio is an element of closeness, a bridge, a step toward the other, not to make the other like us, but to have him become what he is. It is not a question of having more, but of being, that is the real mission of community radio.

In a country like India, the needs of people remain pressing, with India ranking 134 from the bottom on the Human Development Index (UNDP, 2011). The CR in regional languages as Sadri& Santhali was a unique idea to make it a successful program among the community because a language makes a bridge among the Govt. & community. When the rural folk experiences the radio program in their own languages ,they easily connect to it.
