The Pioneer reports that the community radio of Ranchi University (RU) ‘Kaanchi’ which
was supposed to switch in its transmission around February 15 has been
postponed. Officials are still working out on a plan to get the
requisite funds for the radio project.
RU had first mooted a proposal to launch a radio in May 2011, and
thereafter received licence from the Union ministry. Since then,
technical aspects had been delaying the project.
The decision to begin Kaanchi in mid-February was taken at a meeting
held in November last year, by RU Purchase Committee comprising RU
Registrar AK Choudhary, finance officer KK Verma, CCDC and two members
of the Syndicate.
The State Information and Public Relations Department (IPRD) is funding
`40 lakhs for the entire set up. RU has to submit a bill against the
claim of this fund. Thereafter, the money would be approved and
disbursed by IPRD.
Unfortunately, RU is still preparing the bill for this receipt.
