In December 2002, the Government of India approved a policy for granting licenses for Community Radio Stations to educational institutions including IITs/IIMs. In 2006, the Government expanded the policy by bringing ‘Non-profit’ organisations like civil society and voluntary organisations etc. under its ambit in order to allow greater participation by the civil society on issues relating to development & social change.
