The Tibetan Children’s Village School at Lower Dharamshala was established in 1984. Its community radio station will focus on programmes on developmental, agricultural, health, educational, environmental, social welfare and community development issues.
Community radio stations promise to provide an opportunity to the local communities to express themselves, share their views and particularly empower women, youth, marginalised groups to take part in local self governance and overall socio economic and cultural development in the area.
