But instead of having it on August 27th & 28th, they might had waited for few more days till September 5th, so as to have the event on the Teachers' Day. Didn't they think that way?

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: How about learning your lessons listening to the radio? The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is all set to make the age-old radio an educational tool by starting FM stations at its campuses in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi.


Named ‘Gyan Vani’, the FM radio is purely to air educational programmes including live radio counselling. While IGNOU will have an agreement signed with All-India Radio for its transmission in Thiruvananthapuram, it will have its own facilities installed at the Kochi campus.

Though a final decision on the total hours of transmission is yet to be taken, it is expected to be on air for at least six hours. Apart from live interactions with teachers for clearing doubts, campus programmes, and information capsules, IGNOU has plans to tie up with the local educational institutions too. In this way, a more elaborate and comprehensive package of educational programmes can be anticipated with the FM radio available within 80km radius, Sukumar said.
