*Bangladesh: 12 Community Radio have Clearance first time in Bangladesh*
**
Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC), since its
inception, has been advocating with the government and with other
organizations for the promotion of Community Radio to address critical
social issues at community level, such as poverty and social
exclusion, empowerment of marginalized rural groups and catalyze
democratic process in decision making and ongoing development efforts.
Today afternoon (3:15 pm ) Initially Ministry of Information,
Government of People's Republic of Bangladesh has approved 12
Community Radio Initiators for installation and operation of community
radio in Bangladesh first time. To ensure free flow of information and
people's right to information government enacted Right to Information
Act 2009. Community radio approval is a strong step to empower people
in this regards.
The main objective of community radio is to provide livelihood related
information to the rural communities in an understandable way.
Agriculture, education, health, disaster, women and child issues,
market price, services, etc. will be cover in the community radio for
the community people.
Initially government approved 11 Initiators like *Young Power in
Action(YPSA)* - Sitakunda, Chittagong, *Nalta Community Hospital*-
Satkhira, *LDRO*- Bogra, *BRAC*- Moulivi Bazer, *Barandro
Community*-Naogaon, *Proyas*-Chapai Nababgonj, *CCD*- Rajshahi,
*Srizoni*- Jhinaidhah, *EC* Bangladesh- Munsihigonj, *MMC*-
Barguna and *RDRS*- Kurigram.

Amtali under Barguna district, a rural community radio will be
established by Agriculture Information Service of the Agriculture
