Indian Army’s Trishakti Corps has launched Sikkim’s first border village community radio station to improve connectivity in remote areas, officials said.
The Radio ‘Sikkim Sundari’ aims to boost communication and information access in remote high-altitude border areas, they said. Broadcasting local news, weather updates and government schemes, it also provides a platform for local culture and youth participation, the Defence PRO said in a statement.
It will also provide an opportunity for the local youth to develop communication skills and contribute to community engagement.
The radio station was inaugurated in the presence of senior officers of Trishakti Corps, representatives of the civil administration, and members of the local community. “The initiative will help connect communities, amplify local voices, and support development in remote areas,” a senior Army officer said.
