Research and Monitoring Program Research
on Necessity of Community Radio in Rajshahi Rajshahi,
January 18 2008 A
research programme on necessity and urgency of community
radio for the sake of welfare of the grass root and marginal
people started in Rajshahi.
After
expressing positive response from the present government for
setting up community radio in the country, such a research
appeared urgently needed here. As a result, CCD and Panos
Bangladesh recently started the research on necessity and
urgency of community radio for welfare of the grass root and
marginal people. Assistant Professor of Mass Communication
and Journalism Department of Rajshahi University Shatil
Siraj has been conducting the research as Chief Researcher.
A group of potential young researchers from Youth Leadership
Programme of CCD are facilitating the work. Meanwhile,
two Focus Group Discussion (FGD)s have been held with the
marginal people of the Char area and Bagmara Upazila in
Rajshahi district under this programme. Women of different
profession and age from Char area and men of different
profession and age from Bagmara took part in the FGDs.
Besides, 300 people from 16 remotest areas under 8 upazila
in Rajshahi district have been interviewed through using
questionnaire. The
research report will be published soon. In order to
accelerate the positive decision of the present government
regarding setting up community radio in the country, the

programmes have been going on for long time to set up
community radio in Bangladesh, truly no research on its
necessity was conducted earlier in the country.
