On July 23rd, India commemorates National Broadcasting Day to honor the profound influence of radio in our lives.
This significant day marks the inception of India’s first-ever radio broadcast, known as “All India Radio (AIR).”
Radio broadcasting services were introduced in India during British rule in 1923 as an initiative of the Radio Club of Bombay.
India’s first-ever radio broadcast commenced from Bombay Station under the Indian Broadcasting Company in 1927.
In 1956, the name “Akashvani” was officially adopted for AIR, inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s 1938 poem titled “Akashvani,” which translates to “voice or announcement from the skies.”
