Radio

Till 1974, our family had no broadcasting Radio set in our possession. I had purchased after my income from service. That time we had to obtain licence and to renew the same. During childhood I used to listen important news from a shop near to our home. 

In 1972 during mountaineering expedition to Indian Himalayas one set of 3 bands set was available for tuning special broadcasting for our expedition. It is a prearranged with the All India Radio (AIR). I had an experience to record a talk in Bengali language on Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, it was on30th September 1080. Then after I took part various discussion, talk, news review program all in Bengali from AIR Kolkata.

I had supported to the presenter of the program on water pollution of river Ganga, the river of India.

The coverage of AIR  is about 40% of rural West Bengal (southern part).
