13 February was the World Radio Day — a day to celebrate
radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters;
and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to
information, freedom of expression and gender equality over the airwaves.
“As radio continues to evolve in the digital age, it remains
the medium that reaches the widest audience worldwide. It is essential to
furthering UNESCO’s commitment to promote gender equality and women’s
empowerment” said Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studios while releasing the
