Genesis: Radio NGF was established during 2015-2016 by New Green Field Educational Society, New Delhi. The CRS was established with the aim to generate awareness in more than hundred villages on different topics across various domains. The CRS has developed different programmes and initiatives to bring a positive change in the lives of the target community, since its inception. The CRS has been successful in engaging and empowering the community through its innovative programmes and outreach activities, and has made it a trusted source of information and support for the local community.

Thematic Focus: Radio NGF works across various domains that have a direct bearing on the holistic development of the community. The CRS has majorly worked on social issues like road safety, child marriage, child labour, breastfeeding, and tobacco usage among the community members. The CRS also focuses on bridging gender inequalities by empowering women in the community.

Sustainable Development Goals: Radio NGF aspires to achieve the following goals:

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being

SDG 5: Gender Equality

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

Primetime Programmes: The primetime programmes of Radio NGF are Krishi Jhankar, and Ek Mulakat Khas Shaksiyat ke Saath. Krishi Jhankar is a programme that features experts from the agriculture department to discuss farmers problems and make them aware of the present welfare schemes to improve their conditions. Ek Mulakat Khas Shaksiyat ke Saath focuses on interviews from experts on various topics across domains like legal matters, health, government policies, and social awareness in the target community.

Innovations in format or any other way: Along with broadcasting, Radio NGF resorts to outdoor broadcasting in various villages and also effectively uses narrowcasting. The CRS collaborated with Community Radio Association (CRA) and Palwal Administration to run campaigns and intervention projects in our community. The CRS has been able to create awareness about water scarcity and the importance of water conservation in the villages through nukkad nataks (street plays). 

The CRS is active on all major social media platforms and regularly engages with the listeners. 

Core Team: There are six members who form the core team at Radio NGF. It includes the Radio Director, Station Head, and support staff, each of whom essays a unique responsibility contributing to the smooth operation of the programme.

Major Projects Undertaken: Radio NGF collaborated with SMART and CRA for COVID-19 awareness campaigns in the rural areas. The CRS successfully executed a women empowerment initiative in association with Palwal District Administration. The CRS has also focused on developing internal initiatives to address the pressing needs of the community. 

Sustainable Strategies: Radio NGF is supported financially and technically by its parent organisation, New Green Field Educational Society. The CRS is also empanelled with DAVP and DIPRO Haryana, which helps it in generating revenue through advertisements and meet its expenses.  

Number of listeners and Potential Outreach: Radio NG covers almost 70 villages including Aurangabad, Bamnikhera, Phulwari, Tikri-Brahman, and portions of Palwal city. The CRS has a healthy outreach potential.

Major concerns in the Community: The community’s primary areas of concern are female foeticide, child marriage, child labor, tobacco use, and illiteracy. The CRS can run awareness campaigns and execute other initiatives to address these issues with the support of local government bodies and other agencies.
