The All-India Radio on Friday launched multimedia webpage and mobile app of the Baloch service enabling anyone across the world to tune into broadcasts in the language through computers and mobile phones.
While launching the mob-ile app and the webpage, Prasar Bharati chairperson A. Surya Prakash said the move is part of India’s efforts to reach out to the neighbourhood for better people-to-people contact.
The mobile app and the webpage were just “value addition” as Balochi service of the All-India Radio has been in existence since 1974.
“There are several languages in which services are broadcast by the AIR. Balochi is happening today, it will also happen for other languages,” Mr Prakash said.
“As the world’s largest democracy, we have the responsibility to disseminate news and information across the world which is factual and correct,” he said.
The move to launch AIR’s digital platforms in Balochi comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech in which he had mentioned Balochistan and PoK. India had also raised the issue of atrocities in Balochistan at the meeting of a UN body earlier this week.
