About Us – Radio Gujarat 88.4 | A Voice for the Voiceless
In a world where mainstream media often overlooks the stories of the grassroots, Radio Gujarat 88.4 emerges as a beacon of inclusive communication and community empowerment. A proud initiative of Drishti Foundation Trust, Radio Gujarat 88.4 is Gujarat’s very own community radio station, dedicated to creating awareness, driving positive change, and amplifying the voices that matter the most — the voices of the people.
Rooted in the soil of Gujarat, this platform is designed to engage, educate, and empower citizens through meaningful conversations, real-time project updates, sustainability-driven dialogues, and locally relevant content. We believe that communication is a powerful tool for transformation, and community radio is the heart of that revolution. With the launch of Radio Gujarat 88.4, we are taking a bold new step to deepen our community connect and build a more informed, conscious, and active citizenry.
Our Vision is clear — to create a dynamic platform that strengthens community participation, promotes inclusive dialogue, and fosters awareness on critical issues related to health, education, environment, climate action, sustainable development, and local governance. Through every soundbite, every conversation, and every broadcast, we aim to echo the heartbeat of Gujarat and bring positive change to every corner of the state.
At the core of Radio Gujarat 88.4 lies the belief that everyone deserves to be heard. We strive to give a platform to the often unheard voices — farmers, women, youth, artisans, tribal communities, health workers, educators, and changemakers — whose stories and experiences are rich with wisdom, resilience, and innovation. These are the voices that build our society, yet remain underrepresented. By bringing them to the airwaves, we foster greater inclusivity, awareness, and solidarity.
Our programming is diverse, inclusive, and hyperlocal. Whether it’s expert talks on climate change and health, local language programs on hygiene and sanitation, updates on government schemes, live discussions on education and youth development, or folk music and traditional stories — every broadcast is tailored to inform and uplift our communities. We also collaborate with local schools, NGOs, women’s groups, healthcare providers, environmental activists, and government departments to co-create content that resonates with local audiences.
Sustainability and climate action form a vital part of our mission. As Gujarat faces the impact of environmental changes, Radio Gujarat 88.4 plays a crucial role in spreading awareness about climate resilience, water conservation, renewable energy, and sustainable agricultural practices. Our expert interviews, success stories, and awareness campaigns help local communities understand the urgent need to protect our natural resources and adopt eco-friendly lifestyles.
Health and well-being are also central to our focus. From maternal health awareness and vaccination drives to mental health discussions and disease prevention tips, we work with medical professionals and public health experts to ensure that reliable, understandable, and culturally sensitive health information reaches every listener, especially in rural and underserved areas.
Education and youth engagement are another major pillar. We believe that radio is a transformative tool for learning, especially in remote and rural areas. Through engaging content on life skills, digital literacy, vocational guidance, and civic education, we encourage young minds to dream big, stay informed, and contribute meaningfully to society.
What sets Radio Gujarat 88.4 apart is its interactive and participatory approach. Our listeners are not just audiences — they are co-creators. We invite them to share their stories, raise questions, express their concerns, and become active contributors to our shows. Through call-ins, field recordings, interviews, community reporters, and live interactions, we make sure the station truly reflects the pulse of the people.
Technology is another key enabler. While rooted in traditional FM broadcasting, Radio Gujarat 88.4 is also exploring digital platforms to reach wider audiences through podcasts, YouTube, social media, and mobile streaming. This hybrid model ensures accessibility, scalability, and relevance in a fast-evolving media landscape. Whether someone is tuning in from a village in Bhavnagar or a town in Kutch, we aim to keep them informed, inspired, and involved.
As a community radio station, we uphold the values of transparency, credibility, and social responsibility. Our team of passionate broadcasters, researchers, community mobilizers, and volunteers are deeply connected with the communities they serve. Each member is committed to truthfully representing the issues on the ground and delivering content that has real impact.
Radio Gujarat 88.4 is more than just a radio station — it is a movement for community-led development. We believe in empowering people with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their lives, solve local problems, and celebrate their cultural identity. By doing so, we strengthen democratic values, nurture civic consciousness, and support the long-term vision of an inclusive and sustainable Gujarat.
Our station operates in line with the guidelines of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, and follows the principles of ethical journalism and responsible broadcasting. We also collaborate with national and international partners working in health, education, environment, and community development to enhance the quality and reach of our programming.
We are grateful for the support of our stakeholders — community members, volunteers, government bodies, development partners, and media enthusiasts — who have joined hands with us in this incredible journey. Your support fuels our mission to amplify the voices of Gujarat and bring grassroots issues to the forefront of public discourse.
As we grow, we aim to expand our reach across rural and tribal belts, build capacity of community reporters, innovate with tech-enabled radio solutions, and offer internship and engagement opportunities to students and media professionals. We envision a future where Radio Gujarat 88.4 becomes a model for community-led broadcasting, inspiring similar stations across India and beyond.
In a rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever to stay connected to our roots, traditions, and each other. Radio Gujarat 88.4 bridges that gap — between people and policy, information and action, silence and expression.
Tune in. Speak up. Stay informed. Be the change.
