Every year, the 13th of February is observed as World Radio Day to raise awareness among the people and the media about the importance of radio, and to encourage access to information through radio. The day was proclaimed by the member states of UNESCO in 2011 and subsequently adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day. This year's theme is - Radio: A Century informing, entertaining, and educating. An assembly was conducted by the students of Grade VII I on Wednesday, 14th February 2024 on the topic, ‘World Radio Day’. Radio has been a source of information and entertainment for people in the olden days and it continues to be one of the foremost mediums of information in rural India. It has been a valuable tool for promoting peace and reconciliation throughout history. It can reach large and diverse audiences, including those in conflict-affected regions, and promote messages of peace, tolerance, and understanding. This was beautifully encapsulated through an enthralling skit. Humongous zeal and exuberance were witnessed among the learners.
