Mayadanta Male

Posted on October 23, 2007 | Filed Under Community Radio

In July 2007 India Water Portal collaborated with Chitradurga All India Radio (AIR) station (FM 102.6MHz) to produce and broadcast programs related to rainwater harvesting and ground water management. This activity was part of the ‘offline’ dissemination program of the Water Portal – i.e. creating awareness related to water issues through different offline media. We feel that the program series is a success and would like to reproduce the experience on a larger scale.

The series — named Mayadanta Male (literal – Magical Rain) involves 15 programs of 30 minutes duration each. Read more

India Water Portal has partnered with VOICES and BIRD-K to produce and broadcast a set of radio programs on rainwater harvesting.The programs are in Kannada and target audience is people of Tumkur district, though the programs can be heard over a much wider reach including Bangalore.

Listen to our first broadcast - 8-July-2007
(Streamed MP3 Audio, 25min 09 sec, 24kbps, Mono, 4.31MB):

The series has 10 episodes. The first episode was broadcasted on 8th of July at 8:00PM. The rebroadcast of the same episode would happen on 15th of July at the same timing (8:00PM).

There would be a gap of 2 weeks between two episodes. During this gap, BIRD-K would narrowcast the same episode in about 20 villages. The feedback received from the people would be fed into the production of the new episode. In this way the programmes are tied very closely with the target audience in the spirit of community radio.

The first two episodes (1-2) would introduce the listener to the need and importance of rain water harvesting. The next four episodes (3-6) would cover the details of one of the programs of Karnataka government - Suvarnajala. The episodes would also focus on villagers’ role in making the program more effective. The last four episodes (7-10) would illustrate how state government’s intervention in few districts of Karnataka has been helping people affected with Fluorosis.

Broadcast frequency - 612kHz (Bangalore AIR)

Band - MW (Medium Wave) or AM (Amplitude Modulation)

Time - Every Sunday - 8:00PM to 8:30PM from July 8th 2007 till
November 18th 2007
