ALL INDIA Radio-Leh, the worlds highest radio station in Jammu and Kashmir has gone hi-tech after a satellite up-link facility and an FM transmitter were inaugurated by the state chief minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, on May 29. With these two vital facilities, the reach of this radio station, located at 11,800 feet above the sea level, has been extended to far-off areas like Nyoma, Khaltsi and Diskit. Addressing a well attended function in the premises of the All India Radio-Leh, the chief minister said that the satellite up-link would help people in the region outside the district headquarters to listen to the programmes broadcast from Leh and also allow countrywide direct broadcast of any programme or event. He said that radio is an effective medium of communication. The inauguration of the FM station there is a boon for the young generation as it has become a craze with the youth in India. The popularity of FM transmission has transcended boundaries of popularity and youth are feeling specially connected with these transmissions. He added, Young boys and girls from Leh are studying in educational institutions in Shimla, Chandigarh, Dalhousie, Mumbai and other cities and the number of students from there, studying in other states, is more than the collective number of students from other districts of the state. The FM transmitter will be a good entertainment medium for those students after they return to their homes, following the completion of their studies. Good entertainment is necessary to keep youngsters connected with their place of origin. In his address, BS Lalli, chief executive officer, Prasar Bharati, described the launch of satellite up-link and FM transmitter as the auspicious occasion for the people of Leh. He said, A big production studio of Doordarshan would soon be inaugurated there, which will promote Ladakhi culture and language. New transmitters will be set up in shadow areas to
enhance the reach of radio broadcast. Thupstan Chewang, MP from Leh, emphasised on effectively countering the propaganda from the neighbouring countries through radio and television. The AIR-Leh has been playing great role in promoting local culture and language.
