EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH DUCR 90.4 MHz
Being a Journalism (H.) student, working with DELHI
UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY RADIO, DUCR 90.4 MHz was like a dream come true.
DUCR was
established in 2007, is a Community Radio Station situated inside the
University stadium, University of Delhi.
It was inaugurated by Sh. Kapil Sibal, then Honourable
Minister of Science & Technology and Minister of Earth Sciences, Government
of India on 2 October 2007 emphasized that the larger participation of faculty
and students will strengthen the DUCR and make it popular among the community
residing in and around University Campus.
In early days of broadcasting some experts and professional
presenters were involved but after getting matured enough, now Community Radio
Station is managed by the students of University of Delhi as directed by the
Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. Dinesh Singh, DUCR is functioning under the
supervision of R.K Singh Consultant, DUCR (Technical and Program) former
Engineer-in-Chief of Doordarshan.
The main thrust area of DUCR 90.4 MHz is to broadcast
student centric community based programmes. In addition to these programmes, music and songs are also
introduced into it to make programme more interesting. DUCR is very careful
about the proper proportion of education, information and entertainment in the
broadcasting programme.
Some special programmes were also introduced time to time
as per the requirements like in 2008; the University started using the station
for disseminating information about the admission process, through live
phone-in programs in admission season.
In the month of March 2014 the whole
journey of Gyanodaya Express - An Educational Train Journey of University of
Delhi was covered by the media team of DUCR consisting of students only.
As per the growing popularity and demand of the listeners,
DUCR is available on DU Intranet and Internet also.
Going on Air was like experiencing an RJ. Kudos to Delhi
University for such an effort towards Broadcasting.
