Imphal, January 24 2019:
Tulihal Battalion of 9 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR (South) organised a visit of school students to All India Radio Station located at Mayang Imphal on 23rd January.
Radio has forever played an important role in youth awakening and communication including Netaji's speeches on Azad Hind Radio, back in the 1940s from Singapore and Rangoon.
The visit by the school students to the Radio Station was organised to mark the 122nd Birth Anniversary and as a tribute to the great freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Over 50 students of the Sur Rashi Elite School, Mayang Imphal were taken to the AIR Station, Mayang Imphal.
The students were explained in detail along with live demonstrations on the functioning of the Radio Station.
The students were also given hands on experience on broadcasting radio programmes.
The students were taken around the Radio Station facility, briefed regarding functioning of various departments and carried out interaction with the individuals working in the station.
The students showed tremendous curiosity and keen interest in understanding the process and various procedures involved in radio transmission.
Some of them even got motivated to take up Radio Jockey as their profession when they grow up.
The unique exposure to the Radio Station provided by the Battalion to the school students on the auspicious day was widely appreciated by the parents and the school authorities, in having broken the monotony of regular routine, as well as of giving them an opportunity in increasing bonhomie with the Assam Rifles.
