DRISHTI founded in 1993 is an organization, which uses media, arts and communication tools to cultivate awareness of human rights and grassroots dev Read moreelopment in India . Our programs are all approached through the prism of human rights and equality and with a commitment to community participation and outreach. Having realized the need to harness the potential of existing art forms and new technologies in contributing to the pursuit of a just and equal society, Drishti works on strengthening grassroot communications through training, producing films and audio for awareness and strategic communication planning. Radio Nazariya 107.8FM, a community radio station and a program of Drishti has been working in Ahmedabad since 2016 and has been trying to develop its roots in creating a feminist lens when working with its community. We wish to do this so that as a community radio station, we stay sensitive and have a feminist lens in our broadcasting, and also participate in building a grassroots movement in the community. While covering a range of development issues such as women empowerment, urbanization & employment, health and sanitation; we're also a space for creative expressions of children and budding artists of the city. A station where all citizens are welcome to share their stories, we're a platform to discuss, debate and critique issues that matter.

Community Radio Initiatives
In 2004 (later amended in 2006), a landmark policy known as the community radio policy was enacted after a decade-long struggle. This policy allowed non-profit organizations and educational institutions to establish low-power FM radio stations, marking the government's recognition of community media as a third-tier form of media. Today, there are approximately 250 community radio stations, with the number continuing to grow. Drishti has been actively involved in democratizing media since the inception of this movement. We have assisted emerging radio stations with licensing procedures, studio and equipment setups, and most importantly, with training and guidance in building teams that can effectively represent the voice of the community. While we continue to support new stations, we now also collaborate on projects involving multiple radio stations to create thematic content.
