Broadcasting in India began when the first station of the Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC) was inaugurated at Bombay by the British Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin on July 23, 1927.The country celebrates 91 years of broadcasting today i.e. Indian Broadcasting Day. It was on 23rd July 1927 in Mumbai that the first broadcast went on air and it has been a glorious journey since then.
To celebrate this occasion, the staff of All India Radio, Panaji, and HPT Bambolim collectively made a contribution and gifted 2 Radio Sets to the inmates of Provedoria's Old Age Home in Altinho. Beginning shortly, Radio Jockeys on AIR's FM Rainbow channel will also regularly interact with senior citizens in general and from Old Age Homes, in particular, on its Phone-in programmes. A small conversation or accommodating a request for a song will go a long way in lighting up their lives.
