The major objective of a community radio station is :

  • A.Infotainment
  • B.Entertainment
  • C.Economic profit
  • D.Social inclusion

Answer: D

The major objective of community radio is social inclusion.

A community radio station is owned and run by a local community, a non-profit organisation or an educational institution, and broadcasts over a small area. Its purpose is to give a voice to people, often marginalised groups, who are poorly served by the mainstream media, with programmes on local issues in local languages, for their development and participation.

Under India's community radio policy, stations must be run on a not-for-profit basis, so economic profit is excluded, and entertainment or infotainment may appear in the programming but is not the main objective.
