TO ANALYSE THE ACCESS AND USAGE PATTERNS AMONG THE LISTENERS OF KONGU COMMUNITY RADIO – AN INITIATIVE OF KONGU ENGINEERING COLLEGE

A community radio station is one that is operated in the community, for the community, about the community and by the community. The community can be territorial or geographical - a township, village, district or island. It can also be a group of people with common interests, who are not necessarily living in one defined territory. Consequently, community radio can be managed or controlled by one group, by combined groups, or of people such as students, women, children, farmers, fisher folk, ethnic groups, or senior citizens
