Innovations in format or any other way: OSGU Radio collaborated with NGOs like Prayas, and Haryana Welfare Society for Persons With Speech and Hearing Impairment to impact the lives of the differently-abled community members. Such initiatives foster a sense of inclusiveness in the community. The CRS also narrowcasts its programmes in the community. 

Core Team: There are ten members who constitute the core team at OSGU Radio. It includes the Station Director, Station Manager, three radio jockeys, and five support staff. 

Major Projects Undertaken: Since OSGU Radio is still in its early stages, the CRS is yet to be part of a major project and shall soon finalise some projects. The CRS continuously works on developing programmes and internal initiatives for the welfare of the target community. 

 Sustainable Strategies: The CRS is technically supported and financially funded by its parent organisation, Om Sterling Global University. 

Number of listeners and Potential Outreach:  10 villages including Juglan, Talwandi, Ghirai, Sulkhni, Rajli, Khanpur, Baibbalpur, Agroha, Chikanwas and Dhans fall within broadcast range of the community. The area has a population of nearly 50,000 people and the CRS has an active listener base of nearly 22,000 listeners. 

Major concerns in the Community: Better educational and healthcare facilities should be made accessible to everyone in the community, irrespective of any barriers. The youth in the community should be supported through different initiatives to help them become capable individuals with a sustainable livelihood.
