The weekly 30-minute GG
radio program, broadcast through the national
station as well as local FM stations, has been
an important medium to reach the listeners. The
radio program is designed on a magazine format.
Active listeners have been encouraged to participate
in the program. The program with its main slogan
as “General People’s Access to Authority”
is making progress. It aims to create a “Vibrant
Civil Society” by developing “Zero
Tolerance” against corruption. It specifically
raises the issues of rule of law, people’s
participation, accountability, transparency, human
rights and peace process initiatives. The program
has pursued a participatory approach. Some important
segments of the radio program are GG Pathway,
Report, What I Saw, Office Time, Activities, Help-line,
Monitoring, Interesting Events, Listeners’
Forum, Good Governance Clubs (GGCs) Reports, Opinion
of the Month, Voice of Peace, Poem, Radio Songs,
Plays and GG Arena. The program declares five
best letter writers every month and the winners
get a free subscription of the GG bulletin for
one year. At the end of the radio program, a short
thematic message is conveyed to the listeners
with a view to promoting Good Governance and “Why
Culture”. The messages which have been broadcast
so far are:
 |
Bar the corrupt,
not the Dalits (Untouchables) from entering
your kitchen. |
 |
If anyone asks for a bribe,
ask, in turn, why? And, for what? |
 |
Ask your profligate neighbor
the source of his income. |
 |
Whose money, whose development?
Full details we should now ask for. |
Efforts have been made
to include international trends of good governance
in the program. This has helped the listeners
to keep themselves abreast of new developments
in governance elsewhere and to introduce more
advocacies at domestic level.
