DUCR 90.4 MHz established in 2007, is a Community Radio Station situated adjacent to University Information centre inside the University stadium, University of Delhi. Kapil Sibal, Honourable Minister of Science & Technology and Minister of Earth Sciences, Government of India on 2 October 2007. Deepak Pental, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi congratulated to the students and the c
ommunity on this auspicious occasion. Prof Pental emphasized that the larger participation of faculty and students will strengthen the DUCR and make it popular among the community residing in and round Delhi University. In early days of broadcasting some experts and professional Radio Jockeys were involved but after getting matured enough, now all the things are handled by students of the University as directed by the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. Dinesh Singh. His vision is that the community radio should be run completely by the focussed community. Another concept is that if community is involved in the programme they are interested to listen and in turn, tell their friends and relatives also to listen to the programme. It ensures the listener to commitment towards the content of the programme also. The main thrust area of DUCR 90.4 is to broadcast student centric community based programmes such as
(i) Health, hygiene, anti-smoking, gender sensitization, environment and other issues related to local communities. (ii) Phone-in Programmes with the experts on Health, Education, stress management, Environment, interpersonal relationship between parent and children, examination stress etc. (iii) Spreading awareness among the students about various careers, career counselling and broadcasting other socially relevant programmes. (iv) Broadcasting the programmes of campus and colleges such as seminars, workshops, lectures, discussions, debates, cultural functions etc. for the student communities. (v) Conducting (including academic counselling) interactive programmes for the students enrolled at School of Open Learning, who could not get the opportunities for face to face teaching learning process. (vi) Broadcasting different community based programmes with the help of community members residing in the adopted slum areas and the community residing around Delhi University. In addition to these programme music and songs are also introduced into it to make programme more interesting. We are very careful about the proper proportion of education, information, awareness and entertainment in the broadcasting programme. Some special programmes are also introduced at time to time as per the requirement like in 2008, the University started using the station for disseminating information about the admission process, through live phone-in programs with students and parents in admission season. As per the growing popularity and demand of the listeners, now it is available on internet also. DUCR 90.4
