Coronavirus Outbreak LATEST Updates: More than 20 migrant labourers were killed and dozens were left injured after the truck they were travelling in collided with another in Auraiya of Uttar Pradesh early on Saturday.

India registered an increase of 100 deaths and 3,967 COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours since Thursday morning with confirmed cases reaching 81,970 and fatalities from the novel coronavirus now at 2,649, according to health ministry, even as indications emerged about greater relaxations in the fourth phase of the lockdown beginning Monday while the Centre announced fresh measures to ease economic burden of the pandemic.

There are more than 51,000 active cases, while nearly 28,000 have recovered, giving a recovery rate of over 34 percent, the ministry said.

However, going by the numbers declared by different states and Union territories, and a tally maintained by news agency PTI, India seems to have 85,538 cases as of 9 pm Friday, surpassing China's official tally of 82,933 confirmed COVID-19 cases on Friday.

Based on the PTI figures, India is now the 11th most affected nation in the world, but each one of the top-ten have one lakh or more cases.

The US tops the charts with more than 14 lakh cases, followed by Russia, UK, Spain, Italy and Brazil with over 2 lakh cases each; and France, Germany, Turkey and Iran having over 1 lakh cases each.

COVID-19 figures from states

On Friday, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and Karnataka breached the 1,000-mark in terms of the number of people having tested positive, while testing and containment measures were ramped up in places like, Kerala, Goa and Manipur that were being seen as being mostly virus-free till a few days back. Even a quarantine centre had to be sealed in Manipur.

On the other hand, large numbers of cases continued to get detected in big urban clusters. Maharashtra, the most-affected state, reported 1,576 new cases to take its tally to 29,100, while its death toll rose to 1,068.

In Mumbai, one of the worst-hit cities in Maharashtra and the country, the facilities at the Wankhede Stadium are likely to be used for COVID-19 containment.

Tamil Nadu crossed the 10,000 mark with 434 new cases, while Gujarat saw 340 more people testing positive to push its tally to 9,932.

Of the 100 deaths reported since Thursday morning, 44 were in Maharashtra, 20 in Gujarat, 9 in Delhi, 8 in West Bengal, five each in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, four in Rajasthan, two each in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and one in Andhra Pradesh.

Of the 2,649 fatalities, Maharashtra tops tally with 1,019 deaths, Gujarat comes second with 586 deaths, followed by Madhya Pradesh at 237, West Bengal at 215, Rajasthan at 125, Delhi at 115, Uttar Pradesh at 88,Tamil Nadu at 66 and Andhra Pradesh at 48.

The death toll reached 35 in Karnataka, 34 Telangana and 32 in Punjab.

Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir have reported 11 fatalities each due to the disease while Bihar has registered seven and Kerala has reported four deaths.

Jharkhand, Chandigarh and Odisha have recorded three COVID-19 fatalities each while Himachal Pradesh and Assam have reported two deaths each.

Meghalaya, Uttarakhand and Puducherry have reported one fatality each, according to the ministry data.

More than 70 percent of the deaths are due to comorbidities (existence of multiple disorders), according to the ministry.

Meanwhile, according to the Union Health Ministry, 30 municipal areas account for 79 percent of India's coronavirus infection caseload.

At a meeting of a group of ministers chaired by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, it was stressed that the focus of COVID-19 management strategy needs to be on the states with the highest number of confirmed cases and fatalities. Also, focus is needed on treatment and case fatality management, for which timely detection and contact tracing were the best way forward.

Centre focuses on agriculture in third tranche of stimulus

The Finance Ministry in the meantime unveiled the third booster dose aimed at helping the agriculture sector and those involved in allied activities tide through the pandemic.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a Rs 1.63 lakh crore outlay, of which, the government will provide Rs 1 lakh crore for the agri infrastructure fund while a Rs 10,000 crore fund will support two lakh Micro Food Enterprises (MFEs) for promoting health and wellness, herbal, organic and nutritional products.

Further, a Rs 15,000 crore Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund has been announced to support private investment in dairy processing, value addition and cattle feed infrastructure.

The govt also said that it will be amending the stringent Essential Commodities Act to remove cereals, edible oil, oilseeds, pulses, onions and potato from its purview.

Also, a new law will be framed to give farmers the option to choose the market where they want to sell their produce by removing inter-state trade barriers and providing e-trading of agriculture produce.

Modi said the third tranche will help the rural economy and boost farmers' income.

However, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, howver, slammed the finance minister's plan, saying the Narendra Modi government has not put a single penny in pocket of farmers or farm labourers through the package.

"One thing is absolutely clear that the so-called Rs 20-lakh crore economic package has proved to be a jumla package. It reflects the 'voodoo' economics being followed by the prime minister and the finance minister," Surjewala said at a press conference through video-conferencing.

Surjewala said the farmers have lost Rs 21,000 crore by distress sale of wheat far below the minimum support price (MSP) and an equal amount through other crops like chana, sarson and masoor, while anoher Rs 10,000 crore was lost through distress sale of vegetables and fruits.

"Neither farmers nor farm labourers will benefit from these jumla announcements of the finance minister. Today, farmers and farm workers are frustrated and disappointed," he said.

States favour relaxations in non-containment zones

Though a final decision is yet to be taken on the fourth phase of lockdown, state governments seem to be in favour of more relaxations in restrictions and for scaling up economic activities in non-containment coronavirus zones.

According to PTI, officials said there could be greater relaxations and more flexibility for states and Union territories while measures being explored include gradual reopening of the railways and domestic airlines.

During his last interaction with chief ministers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked them to submit their suggestions by 15 May.

According to officials, Punjab, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam and Telangana want the lockdown to continue, while some states have sought powers to decide the zoning of districts — green, orange and red — as per the COVID-19 situation.

Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka are among some states which are not in favour of complete resumption of train and air services, at least till May-end.

The railways have already started special trains to 15 destinations from Delhi and have been running several hundred 'shramik special' trains from different parts of the country. Air India is also engaged in evacuation of thousands of Indians stranded abroad during the lockdown under the 'Vande Bharat Mission'. Meanwhile, the AAI issued guidelines for domestic passengers to follow while using flight services.

However, there have been cases of people testing positive after reaching their native places using these trains and flights.

Final guidelines will be issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs after going through the suggestions of various state governments.

SC dismisses PIL seeking relief for migrants

The Supreme Court which has postponed its summer vacation by five weeks, was in the news on Friday after a bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao and comprising Justices SK Kaul and BR Gavai, dismissed two PILs related to the COVID-19 situation.

While one PIL sought closure of liquor shops across the country, the other sought to provide food, water and travel for migrants stranded across India due to lockdown.

"How can we stop them from walking?" the bench said stating that it was impossible for the court to monitor who is walking and who is not.

The bench added that it was up to the state governments to take necessary action to dissuade migrant workers from walking from state to state.

"Let the state decide. Why should the court hear or decide?" the court said on Friday.

The SC's dismissal came even as more reports came to surface of migrants walking to their homes. In one such visual, a migrant mother was seen pulling a suitcase while her child slept half hung on it.

As for the PIL seeking closure of liquor shops citing violation of social distancing norms, the bench dimissed it as well, observing that it has been filed only for publicity.

Ms. Sitharaman presents a picture of “vibrant India” with what she calls the “gentle breeze of technology” to uplift minorities.

Merge ‘Make in India’ with ‘Assemble in India’ to create jobs: Eco Survey

The economic survey 2019-20 urged the government to integrate ‘Make in India’ with ‘Assemble in India’ to create 4 crore jobs by 2025. The survey pointed out that the current international trade environment presents an opportunity for India to chart a China-like, labour intensive, export trajectory. This in turn will create jobs for the youth, the survey said.

By integrating ‘Assemble in India for the world’ into ‘Make in India’, India can raise its export market share to about 3.5% by 2025 and 6% by 2030. This will create 8 crore by 2030, the survey said.

Delhi should get even more in this Budget, says Kejriwal

“People of Delhi hope that the Centre will protect the interests of Delhi. In view of the elections, Delhi should get even more. The budget will show how much the BJP cares about Delhi,” said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a tweet on Saturday.

10 a.m.

Congress hopes Union Budget will provide relief to salaried class, invest in rural India

The Congress expressed hope that the Union Budget 2020 would provide relief to the salaried class through tax cuts and invest in rural India besides providing a healing touch to the common man and industry facing “hardship” since demonetisation.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the last budget led to crashing consumption levels, soaring unemployment and falling GDP.

“Budget 2019= Consumption crashed, Unemployment soared, Farm distress surged, Incomes declined, Investments slumped, Public spending fell, GDP nose dived!,” Mr. Surjewala tweeted.

“Yet, Modiji gave Corporate Tax Cuts of ₹1,45,000 crore. Let Budget 2020 give tax cuts to Salaried Class and invest in Rural India,” he said.

9.45 a.m.

Ahead of Budget, Sensex slumps over 200 pts, Nifty tests 11,900

Market benchmark Sensex slumped over 200 points in opening session on Saturday ahead of the release of the Union Budget.

After shedding 279 points in early trade, the 30-share BSE index was trading 124.96 points or 0.31% lower at 40,598.53, and the broader NSE slipped 23.10 points, or 0.19%, to 11,939.

In the previous session, Sensex settled 190.33 points, or 0.47%, lower at 40,723.49, after the Economic Survey suggested relaxing fiscal deficit target to boost growth from a decade low.

Likewise, the broader NSE Nifty shed 73.70 points, or 0.61%, to finish at 11,962.10.

9.15 a.m.

‘Bahi-khata’ makes a comback in this years’ budget presentation

Like last year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman carried the 2020 Union Budget documents in a red bag, reminiscence of the traditional bahi-khata.

Earlier, Finance Ministers in different governments used to carry a briefcase to present budget, which was considered as a tradition of colonial past.

Ms. Sitharaman is presenting the full Budget for 2020-21. She is carrying the Budget documents in a red silk bag with national emblem.

During the Atal Behari Vajpayee government, the then Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha broke the one colonial tradition of budget presentation at 5 p.m. Since then all governments have been presenting the budget at 11 a.m.

Bahi-Khata is referred to books of account maintained by traditional Indian businessmen.

Better to focus on growth than on fiscal deficit in current situation: CEA

Ahead of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s second Budget, Chief Economic Adviser K.V. Subramanian suggested the government should focus on growth rather than being rigid on fiscal deficit in times of slowing economy.

The government can look at option of increasing market borrowing to fund higher expenditure by the government in 2020-21, he said adding that if need be, the government can resort to higher market borrowing this fiscal.

“So, we’ve delineated the overall stance that needs to be taken in times like this. India has been in such situations earlier as well. There’s always a delicate balance between spurring growth and keeping the fiscal (situation) in order,” Mr. Subramanian told PTI in an interaction.

“The view that we have articulated is that it’s better at this point to lean on growth. When you look at the debt-to-GDP ratio, the denominator is the GDP, and our analysis has also shown that when GDP growth increases, the debt-to-GDP ratio falls as well,” he said.

It is time to focus on growth and, therefore, cutting expenditure is not an option, probably because at a time like this, growth needs to be taken care of, he added.

– PTI

Fiscal deficit hits 132% of Budget Estimate till December

The government’s fiscal deficit touched 132.4 per cent of the full-year target at December-end mainly due to slower pace of revenue collections, official data showed on Friday.

In actual terms, the fiscal deficit or gap between expenditure and revenue was Rs 9,31,725 crore, the data released by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA) showed.

The government aims to restrict the gap at 3.3 per cent of the GDP or Rs 7,03,760 crore in the year ending March 2020.

Coronavirus Outbreak LATEST Updates: More than 20 migrant labourers were killed and dozens were left injured after the truck they were travelling in collided with another in Auraiya of Uttar Pradesh early on Saturday. "The incident took place at around 3.30am. Twenty-three people have died and around 15-20 have suffered injuries. Most of them are from Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal," Abhishek Singh, Auraiya's district magistrate, was quoted as saying by ANI. India registered an increase of 100 deaths and 3,967 COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours since Thursday morning with confirmed cases reaching 81,970 and fatalities from the novel coronavirus now at 2,649, according to health ministry, even as indications emerged about greater relaxations in the fourth phase of the lockdown beginning Monday while the Centre announced fresh measures to ease economic burden of the pandemic. There are more than 51,000 active cases, while nearly 28,000 have recovered, giving a recovery rate of over 34 percent, the ministry said. However, going by the numbers declared by different states and Union territories, and a tally maintained by news agency PTI, India seems to have 85,538 cases as of 9 pm Friday, surpassing China's official tally of 82,933 confirmed COVID-19 cases on Friday. Based on the PTI figures, India is now the 11th most affected nation in the world, but each one of the top-ten have one lakh or more cases. The US tops the charts with more than 14 lakh cases, followed by Russia, UK, Spain, Italy and Brazil with over 2 lakh cases each; and France, Germany, Turkey and Iran having over 1 lakh cases each. COVID-19 figures from states On Friday, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and Karnataka breached the 1,000-mark in terms of the number of people having tested positive, while testing and containment measures were ramped up in places like, Kerala, Goa and Manipur that were being seen as being mostly virus-free till a few days back. Even a quarantine centre had to be sealed in Manipur. On the other hand, large numbers of cases continued to get detected in big urban clusters. Maharashtra, the most-affected state, reported 1,576 new cases to take its tally to 29,100, while its death toll rose to 1,068. In Mumbai, one of the worst-hit cities in Maharashtra and the country, the facilities at the Wankhede Stadium are likely to be used for COVID-19 containment. Tamil Nadu crossed the 10,000 mark with 434 new cases, while Gujarat saw 340 more people testing positive to push its tally to 9,932. Of the 100 deaths reported since Thursday morning, 44 were in Maharashtra, 20 in Gujarat, 9 in Delhi, 8 in West Bengal, five each in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, four in Rajasthan, two each in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and one in Andhra Pradesh. Of the 2,649 fatalities, Maharashtra tops tally with 1,019 deaths, Gujarat comes second with 586 deaths, followed by Madhya Pradesh at 237, West Bengal at 215, Rajasthan at 125, Delhi at 115, Uttar Pradesh at 88,Tamil Nadu at 66 and Andhra Pradesh at 48. The death toll reached 35 in Karnataka, 34 Telangana and 32 in Punjab. Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir have reported 11 fatalities each due to the disease while Bihar has registered seven and Kerala has reported four deaths. Jharkhand, Chandigarh and Odisha have recorded three COVID-19 fatalities each while Himachal Pradesh and Assam have reported two deaths each. Meghalaya, Uttarakhand and Puducherry have reported one fatality each, according to the ministry data. More than 70 percent of the deaths are due to comorbidities (existence of multiple disorders), according to the ministry. Meanwhile, according to the Union Health Ministry, 30 municipal areas account for 79 percent of India's coronavirus infection caseload. At a meeting of a group of ministers chaired by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, it was stressed that the focus of COVID-19 management strategy needs to be on the states with the highest number of confirmed cases and fatalities. Also, focus is needed on treatment and case fatality management, for which timely detection and contact tracing were the best way forward. Centre focuses on agriculture in third tranche of stimulus The Finance Ministry in the meantime unveiled the third booster dose aimed at helping the agriculture sector and those involved in allied activities tide through the pandemic. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a Rs 1.63 lakh crore outlay, of which, the government will provide Rs 1 lakh crore for the agri infrastructure fund while a Rs 10,000 crore fund will support two lakh Micro Food Enterprises (MFEs) for promoting health and wellness, herbal, organic and nutritional products. Further, a Rs 15,000 crore Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund has been announced to support private investment in dairy processing, value addition and cattle feed infrastructure. The govt also said that it will be amending the stringent Essential Commodities Act to remove cereals, edible oil, oilseeds, pulses, onions and potato from its purview. Also, a new law will be framed to give farmers the option to choose the market where they want to sell their produce by removing inter-state trade barriers and providing e-trading of agriculture produce. Modi said the third tranche will help the rural economy and boost farmers' income. However, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, howver, slammed the finance minister's plan, saying the Narendra Modi government has not put a single penny in pocket of farmers or farm labourers through the package. "One thing is absolutely clear that the so-called Rs 20-lakh crore economic package has proved to be a jumla package. It reflects the 'voodoo' economics being followed by the prime minister and the finance minister," Surjewala said at a press conference through video-conferencing. Surjewala said the farmers have lost Rs 21,000 crore by distress sale of wheat far below the minimum support price (MSP) and an equal amount through other crops like chana, sarson and masoor, while anoher Rs 10,000 crore was lost through distress sale of vegetables and fruits. "Neither farmers nor farm labourers will benefit from these jumla announcements of the finance minister. Today, farmers and farm workers are frustrated and disappointed," he said. States favour relaxations in non-containment zones Though a final decision is yet to be taken on the fourth phase of lockdown, state governments seem to be in favour of more relaxations in restrictions and for scaling up economic activities in non-containment coronavirus zones. According to PTI, officials said there could be greater relaxations and more flexibility for states and Union territories while measures being explored include gradual reopening of the railways and domestic airlines. During his last interaction with chief ministers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked them to submit their suggestions by 15 May. According to officials, Punjab, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam and Telangana want the lockdown to continue, while some states have sought powers to decide the zoning of districts — green, orange and red — as per the COVID-19 situation. Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka are among some states which are not in favour of complete resumption of train and air services, at least till May-end. The railways have already started special trains to 15 destinations from Delhi and have been running several hundred 'shramik special' trains from different parts of the country. Air India is also engaged in evacuation of thousands of Indians stranded abroad during the lockdown under the 'Vande Bharat Mission'. Meanwhile, the AAI issued guidelines for domestic passengers to follow while using flight services. However, there have been cases of people testing positive after reaching their native places using these trains and flights. Final guidelines will be issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs after going through the suggestions of various state governments. SC dismisses PIL seeking relief for migrants The Supreme Court which has postponed its summer vacation by five weeks, was in the news on Friday after a bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao and comprising Justices SK Kaul and BR Gavai, dismissed two PILs related to the COVID-19 situation. While one PIL sought closure of liquor shops across the country, the other sought to provide food, water and travel for migrants stranded across India due to lockdown. "How can we stop them from walking?" the bench said stating that it was impossible for the court to monitor who is walking and who is not. The bench added that it was up to the state governments to take necessary action to dissuade migrant workers from walking from state to state. "Let the state decide. Why should the court hear or decide?" the court said on Friday. The SC's dismissal came even as more reports came to surface of migrants walking to their homes. In one such visual, a migrant mother was seen pulling a suitcase while her child slept half hung on it. As for the PIL seeking closure of liquor shops citing violation of social distancing norms, the bench dimissed it as well, observing that it has been filed only for publicity.

Community radio stations across India brave lockdown, severe fund crunch to ensure last-mile awareness on COVID-19

"Community radio programmes are made with partnership and participation of community members. The programmes are usually done in local languages and dialects. All of these features have made community radio a very significant medium during a crisis like this," said Vinod Pavarala, a professor in the Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad. Pavarala is also the founder president of the Community Radio Forum–India and leads the UNESCO Chair on Community Media.

As per government guidelines, the transmission range of a community radio centre, which is essentially a low power FM radio station, is between 10-15 kilometres with a 100 ERP (Effective Radiated Power) transmitter. For a community radio station, the use of a 50-watt 100 ERP transmitter is allowed.

Mostly associated in the dissemination of agriculture-related information and government welfare schemes, more than 260 radio stations across India offer the "marginalised communities a platform to make their voice heard and an opportunity to express their views". These radio stations act as essential communication channels for enhancing the last mile outreach of the government.

The Community Radio Facilitation Centre of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting describes community radio as an effective tool to achieve plurality in media by ensuring participation of marginalised sections to address information poverty.

Despite a favourable judgment by the Supreme Court of India in February 1985, the attempt to popularise the concept of community radio actually started in December 2002, when the Government of India formulated a policy to grant licenses to well-established educational institutions, including IITs/IIMs, for setting up of Community Radio Stations. According to Aaditeshwar Seth of Gram Vaani Community Media, "Until late 2006, only educational institutions were allowed to set up campus radio stations."

In many parts of India, radio is the primary source of news and entertainment. All India Radio, as the public service broadcaster, forms the top tier of radio coverage in the country. Commercial enterprises like the private FM radio forms the second tier while community radio services, which are closest to the grassroot, comprise the third tier.

Apart from disseminating knowledge among the local communities and bridging the gap between the government and marginalised population, these radio stations also play a critical role in disaster management. A year after the devastating Uttarakhand floods in 2015, six community radio stations in the state were brought under one umbrella to educate people on environmental conservation and dangers of unplanned development.

In the health sector, community radios serve to address local health concerns while educating the marginalised sections on the prevention of diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, encephalitis, among others.

Even during the coronavirus pandemic, the community radios are on the forefront in remote pockets educating listeners on different protocols to be followed. Had it not been for the intervention and proactiveness of the community radio stations across India, the COVID-19 crises would have exploded in rural India.

Role during COVID-19 crisis

When the news first trickled out of Wuhan in China's Hubei province about an epidemic, the warning bells rang in India as well. On 30 January, Kerala, a state that had already battled Chikungunya and Nipah virus and lived through a devastating flood, got India's first COVID-19 case. The state was quick to prepare itself.

"We stopped all other programmes and sent broadcast messages from the district collector, superintendent of police, chief minister, health minister and officials from other departments. We broadcasted more than 50 public service announcements. Every day we broadcast coronavirus related programmes for more than seven hours," said Father Bijo Thomas Karukappally, who is the station head of Radio Mattoli, run by Wayanad Social Service Society in Kerala.

Apart from police and health officials, Radio Mattoli also invited officials from the state's agriculture department to interact with its listeners.

For Bhaskar Jyoti Bhuyan, who is the station head of Radio Brahmaputra in Maijan Borsaikia village from Assam's Dibrugarh district, programmes on COVID-19 were now a priority.

"We give information on COVID-19 from assam.mygov.in that includes information on mental health, health and hygiene and even from UNICEF and WHO websites. We translate the information into the local languages and air them. We invite doctors from the Assam Medical College particularly from the departments of Community Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynaecology to guide pregnant women," Bhuyan said.

Radio Brahmaputra runs a three-hour live programme between 8 am and 11 am on COVID-19 which includes a quiz and updates on COVID-19 from all around the world, in the northeastern states and every district of Assam. It also broadcasts the advisories of the state government which they receive through the DIPR (Directorate of Information and Public Relations), National Health Mission and the local district administration, Bhuyan told Firstpost.

Agriculture experts are also brought in to help farm-based entrepreneurs during this lockdown. "Interaction with experts from the animal husbandry department has become important because several farm animals, especially pigs, are dying now because of a certain kind of flu," Bhuyan further added.

Before the UNICEF contacted Sarathi Jhalak, a community radio station in Karnataka's Bangalore Rural district, to partner with them, it already had a three-pronged strategy on the content - medical, psycho-sociological and financial impacts of COVID-19.

"Issues like well-being, stress management, STPD disorder, depression are also being regularly dealt with to help the listeners. Regular participation from gram panchayats ensures that government guidelines are also followed at the ground level," said Shamantha DS, who is the founder and station head of Sarathi Jhalak.

"We started focussing on coronavirus from February itself. The word corona itself is so weird and new that we did a programme with a health official to introduce the word to the community. In the first week of March, COVID-19 also entered our dictionary. So we had a programme illustrating the difference between coronavirus and COVID-19 in the second week of March again with a doctor. We also invited experts from Bengaluru," she said.

In Odisha's Kalahandi, the community radio station run by Orissa Gramin Vikash is advocating Ghare Ruhantu Susta Ruhantu (Stay home, stay safe). "We are broadcasting the dos-and-donts like social distancing, no unnecessary loitering around, use of masks etc.," said Lingaraj Samantaray, station head of Orissa Gramin Vikash run community radio centre.

Situated 81 kilometres east of Satara district in Maharashtra at Mhaswad village, the Mann Deshi Tarang Vahini community radio station is helping out the Mann Deshi community at this time of crisis. "Be it programmes on coronavirus awareness, water conservation, economic literacy, women emancipation, literacy for children, effort to preserve and promote the culture of the Mann Deshi community we cover them all," said station head Shivaji Yadav.

Run by the NGO Janakalyan Pratisthan in Odisha's Gajapati district, the unique location of the community radio station is turning out to be advantageous to spread awareness on COVID-19.

"Apart from government advisories, we have created different content on coronavirus. We broadcast both in Odia and Telugu languages as our district borders Andhra Pradesh. We transmit for two hours -- one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening," said station head Durga Madhab Panda.

Radio Madhuban, which is run by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Iswariya Vishwa Vidhlaya in Rajasthan's Sirohi district, has primarily shifted its programming towards creating awareness on coronavirus.

"These days, we mostly record our content to create coronavirus awareness. This has going on for more than a month now. There are also phone-in programmes as well to ensure community participation," said station head Yashwant Patil.

Generating content during lockdown

The nationwide lockdown has created big hurdles for the community radio stations to function as usual but they are finding ways to handle the situation. "Now due to the lockdown, six of us are staying in the radio station itself. Rest of us are working from home because the technology is available now. Three of them come to work, one has his own vehicle and two of them live nearby," said Father Bijo of Radio Mattoli.

Gurugram-based community radio station Gurgaon Ki Awaaz is now relying on its station manager for reporting as its first reporter became a COVID-19 suspect and is quarantined.

"Now, the husband of the station manager brings her to the radio station, waits for her to get done and takes her back home. Many people are sacrificing their personal time for the greater good. Everyone is working from wherever they are, including the girl who is in quarantine. We also have volunteers working for us," said Station Director Arti Jaiman.

In the case of Radio Brahmaputra, its network of 300 volunteers, some of who come from nearby tea garden communities or those who stay in the villages, are also working from home due to the lockdown and helping out the eight staff members of the community radio centre.

The situation at Sarathi Jhalak station has been even more stressful with only one person managing 9.5 hours of daily broadcast due to the lockdown.

Helping migrants

In the mid of this pandemic, the clueless migrant workers of Gurugram could not have hoped for a better saviour than Gurgaon Ki Awaaz.

"Several of them don't have money, and are far away from their families. They are cooped up in small rooms. We have been doing counselling programmes but this time the focus is on coronavirus. We have completed 100 episodes. This is something we do twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays in which the counsellor joins via the phone and listeners can call in and ask them any questions. Sometimes we continue for 45 minutes or sometimes we cross an hour," said station director Jaiman.

On air for more than 10 years, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz broadcasts for 22 hours a day and their target audience include migrant workers and local villagers in Gurugram. At least, five lakh people listen to Gurgaon Ki Awaaz. Just like its counterparts, the station focusses on programmes on mental health counselling to specially deal with the stress over the lockdown.

"For example, in one of the programmes that lasted for about 40 minutes, we had 10 callers. Atleast, nine of them were migrants and one was a local and two women. Many asked about food availability; they wanted to know if they can step out, some just wanted to talk, some were worried because they have not got their full wages, some wanted to know about helpline numbers, some even complained about closed mobile repair shops," said Jaiman.

Local is focal

The significance of local flavour in community radio set up is indisputable and it stands out as the biggest USP of this nature of mass media service. In case of Radio Brahmaputra, while the four languages - Assamese, Sadri, Hajong and Mising - stick out to reach a sizeable rural audience.

However, for the Bangalore-based Sarathi Jhalak, which is situated very close to the IT hub in Whitefield, the rural audience serves as its pillar of strength. "Our radio station caters to more than 250 villages in and around Hoskote sub-division. It is a local community-centric radio station. Whether it is programming on mid-day meal scheme, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, health, education, finance, trade, commerce, we try to deliver information on the local level. We also cover issues on gender, art, culture and cinema," said Shamantha.

The bond between the radio station and its community can be judged from the level of confidence that Shamantha exudes to measure the impact of COVID-19 programmes on the listeners.

"We were evaluating our quality of programme along with Kannada television channels. We are doing it very professionally like any mainstream television or radio channels. We are doing much more than any state or national media because we are directly linked to the grassroots," Shamantha told Firstpost.

Being a community radio station in Wayanad, which shares a border with Tamil Nadu, Radio Mattoli mostly caters to the tribal audience and broadcasts in Malayalam and other tribal languages.

"Wayanad is at a high altitude since its on the Western Ghats, and thats why our reach is not only in the district but also extends to Coorg in Karnataka and the Nilgiri district in Tamil Nadu. It also goes to Mallapuram and Kannur districts in Kerala. Our listeners are nearly three lakhs," the Radio Mattoli station head said.

Radio Brahmaputra is situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra river, and it not only covers half of Dhemaji and Dibrugarh districts (with a population of 6.5 lakh), but also Likabali, the headquarters of Lower Siang district in Arunachal Pradesh.

"We cover nearly 25-30 kilometres because radio waves travel freely over the Brahmaputra without obstruction. In Dibrugarh, we cover the town area and reach up to Rangalao Bazar, Khowang, Moran Pothalibam and Dikom including 38 tea gardens. We cover Silapathar and Jonai in Dhemaji," Bhuyan said.

Facing financial distress

Despite all their work, the community radio stations continue to face acute financial crisis. "Revenue is a huge issue for us. We need a minimum of Rs 20,000 per month to run the radio station. There are salaries, power bills and rent to worry about. There is no profit in running a community radio station. The only hope is that you might get a few projects," said Orissa Gramin Vikash's Samantaray.

Sarathi Jhalak is doing good work but Shamantha's biggest worry is managing this month's finance which includes rent, salary apart from other miscellaneous expenditures. Unlike the community radio stations owned by the educational institutions, those owned by NGOs often deal with an existential crisis because of revenue worries.

"The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has no dearth of funds but we are not getting it," said Shamantha.

Father Bijo of Radio Mattoli pointed out at the irony of the situation. "In the last six years, we won the Sustainability Model Award twice. But even then we have difficulty in sustaining ourselves. Funding is the most critical thing here. We are running out of advertisements. The lockdown has made it worse. I need to pay Rs 5-6 lakh in salaries every month to my 22 staff members," he said.

Already reeling under a financial strain, the community radio station in Gajapati, established in 2017, also had to bear the brunt of nature's fury as its infrastructure was massively damaged during Cyclone Titli in 2018.

For Radio Brahmaputra, involving the staff in other activities, outside of broadcasting, has become a necessary source of sustenance.

"We started off in 2009 itself but our actual broadcast started only from 2015. For the initial three years, UNICEF supported us to set up the radio station. After that, they started supporting us on the basis of the projects we do. We get some support from the government on project-basis. Apart from broadcasting shows, we help in research and develop communication tools for revenue. For example, recently we developed a communication tool for early childhood development for field-level activities," said station director Bhuyan.

Audience sustainability

With crisis unfolding due to COVID-19 pandemic, community radios in India have rose into prominence but the real question is how long can they sustain an audience.

"We have a listenership built over 10 years. When I said we have 5 lakh listeners, they have not joined us because of coronavirus. They listen to us because we broadcast in their languages which is primarily Hindi and other dialects. The only difference I am seeing (because of COVID-19) is that we will be getting many more new listeners. If they find us valuable they will stick around," said Gurgaon Ki Awaaz's Jaiman.

In the times of pandemic, hope is the perfect recipe for better times.

With the poor presence of mainstream media in rural parts of India, the community radio stations have become a lifeline for not just the government, but also for the people. Especially when the entire country is under lockdown due to coronavirus, these stations help identify local concerns. "Community radio programmes are made with partnership and participation of community members. The programmes are usually done in local languages and dialects. All of these features have made community radio a very significant medium during a crisis like this," said Vinod Pavarala, a professor in the Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad. Pavarala is also the founder president of the Community Radio Forum–India and leads the UNESCO Chair on Community Media. As per government guidelines, the transmission range of a community radio centre, which is essentially a low power FM radio station, is between 10-15 kilometres with a 100 ERP (Effective Radiated Power) transmitter. For a community radio station, the use of a 50-watt 100 ERP transmitter is allowed. Mostly associated in the dissemination of agriculture-related information and government welfare schemes, more than 260 radio stations across India offer the "marginalised communities a platform to make their voice heard and an opportunity to express their views". These radio stations act as essential communication channels for enhancing the last mile outreach of the government. The Community Radio Facilitation Centre of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting describes community radio as an effective tool to achieve plurality in media by ensuring participation of marginalised sections to address information poverty. Despite a favourable judgment by the Supreme Court of India in February 1985, the attempt to popularise the concept of community radio actually started in December 2002, when the Government of India formulated a policy to grant licenses to well-established educational institutions, including IITs/IIMs, for setting up of Community Radio Stations. According to Aaditeshwar Seth of Gram Vaani Community Media, "Until late 2006, only educational institutions were allowed to set up campus radio stations." In many parts of India, radio is the primary source of news and entertainment. All India Radio, as the public service broadcaster, forms the top tier of radio coverage in the country. Commercial enterprises like the private FM radio forms the second tier while community radio services, which are closest to the grassroot, comprise the third tier. Apart from disseminating knowledge among the local communities and bridging the gap between the government and marginalised population, these radio stations also play a critical role in disaster management. A year after the devastating Uttarakhand floods in 2015, six community radio stations in the state were brought under one umbrella to educate people on environmental conservation and dangers of unplanned development. In the health sector, community radios serve to address local health concerns while educating the marginalised sections on the prevention of diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, encephalitis, among others. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, the community radios are on the forefront in remote pockets educating listeners on different protocols to be followed. Had it not been for the intervention and proactiveness of the community radio stations across India, the COVID-19 crises would have exploded in rural India. Role during COVID-19 crisis When the news first trickled out of Wuhan in China's Hubei province about an epidemic, the warning bells rang in India as well. On 30 January, Kerala, a state that had already battled Chikungunya and Nipah virus and lived through a devastating flood, got India's first COVID-19 case. The state was quick to prepare itself. "We stopped all other programmes and sent broadcast messages from the district collector, superintendent of police, chief minister, health minister and officials from other departments. We broadcasted more than 50 public service announcements. Every day we broadcast coronavirus related programmes for more than seven hours," said Father Bijo Thomas Karukappally, who is the station head of Radio Mattoli, run by Wayanad Social Service Society in Kerala. Apart from police and health officials, Radio Mattoli also invited officials from the state's agriculture department to interact with its listeners. For Bhaskar Jyoti Bhuyan, who is the station head of Radio Brahmaputra in Maijan Borsaikia village from Assam's Dibrugarh district, programmes on COVID-19 were now a priority. "We give information on COVID-19 from assam.mygov.in that includes information on mental health, health and hygiene and even from UNICEF and WHO websites. We translate the information into the local languages and air them. We invite doctors from the Assam Medical College particularly from the departments of Community Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynaecology to guide pregnant women," Bhuyan said. Radio Brahmaputra runs a three-hour live programme between 8 am and 11 am on COVID-19 which includes a quiz and updates on COVID-19 from all around the world, in the northeastern states and every district of Assam. It also broadcasts the advisories of the state government which they receive through the DIPR (Directorate of Information and Public Relations), National Health Mission and the local district administration, Bhuyan told Firstpost. Agriculture experts are also brought in to help farm-based entrepreneurs during this lockdown. "Interaction with experts from the animal husbandry department has become important because several farm animals, especially pigs, are dying now because of a certain kind of flu," Bhuyan further added. Click here for Coronavirus Outbreak LIVE Updates Before the UNICEF contacted Sarathi Jhalak, a community radio station in Karnataka's Bangalore Rural district, to partner with them, it already had a three-pronged strategy on the content - medical, psycho-sociological and financial impacts of COVID-19. "Issues like well-being, stress management, STPD disorder, depression are also being regularly dealt with to help the listeners. Regular participation from gram panchayats ensures that government guidelines are also followed at the ground level," said Shamantha DS, who is the founder and station head of Sarathi Jhalak. "We started focussing on coronavirus from February itself. The word corona itself is so weird and new that we did a programme with a health official to introduce the word to the community. In the first week of March, COVID-19 also entered our dictionary. So we had a programme illustrating the difference between coronavirus and COVID-19 in the second week of March again with a doctor. We also invited experts from Bengaluru," she said. In Odisha's Kalahandi, the community radio station run by Orissa Gramin Vikash is advocating Ghare Ruhantu Susta Ruhantu (Stay home, stay safe). "We are broadcasting the dos-and-donts like social distancing, no unnecessary loitering around, use of masks etc.," said Lingaraj Samantaray, station head of Orissa Gramin Vikash run community radio centre. Situated 81 kilometres east of Satara district in Maharashtra at Mhaswad village, the Mann Deshi Tarang Vahini community radio station is helping out the Mann Deshi community at this time of crisis. "Be it programmes on coronavirus awareness, water conservation, economic literacy, women emancipation, literacy for children, effort to preserve and promote the culture of the Mann Deshi community we cover them all," said station head Shivaji Yadav. Run by the NGO Janakalyan Pratisthan in Odisha's Gajapati district, the unique location of the community radio station is turning out to be advantageous to spread awareness on COVID-19. "Apart from government advisories, we have created different content on coronavirus. We broadcast both in Odia and Telugu languages as our district borders Andhra Pradesh. We transmit for two hours -- one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening," said station head Durga Madhab Panda. Radio Madhuban, which is run by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Iswariya Vishwa Vidhlaya in Rajasthan's Sirohi district, has primarily shifted its programming towards creating awareness on coronavirus. "These days, we mostly record our content to create coronavirus awareness. This has going on for more than a month now. There are also phone-in programmes as well to ensure community participation," said station head Yashwant Patil. Generating content during lockdown The nationwide lockdown has created big hurdles for the community radio stations to function as usual but they are finding ways to handle the situation. "Now due to the lockdown, six of us are staying in the radio station itself. Rest of us are working from home because the technology is available now. Three of them come to work, one has his own vehicle and two of them live nearby," said Father Bijo of Radio Mattoli. Gurugram-based community radio station Gurgaon Ki Awaaz is now relying on its station manager for reporting as its first reporter became a COVID-19 suspect and is quarantined. "Now, the husband of the station manager brings her to the radio station, waits for her to get done and takes her back home. Many people are sacrificing their personal time for the greater good. Everyone is working from wherever they are, including the girl who is in quarantine. We also have volunteers working for us," said Station Director Arti Jaiman. In the case of Radio Brahmaputra, its network of 300 volunteers, some of who come from nearby tea garden communities or those who stay in the villages, are also working from home due to the lockdown and helping out the eight staff members of the community radio centre. The situation at Sarathi Jhalak station has been even more stressful with only one person managing 9.5 hours of daily broadcast due to the lockdown. Helping migrants In the mid of this pandemic, the clueless migrant workers of Gurugram could not have hoped for a better saviour than Gurgaon Ki Awaaz. "Several of them don't have money, and are far away from their families. They are cooped up in small rooms. We have been doing counselling programmes but this time the focus is on coronavirus. We have completed 100 episodes. This is something we do twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays in which the counsellor joins via the phone and listeners can call in and ask them any questions. Sometimes we continue for 45 minutes or sometimes we cross an hour," said station director Jaiman. On air for more than 10 years, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz broadcasts for 22 hours a day and their target audience include migrant workers and local villagers in Gurugram. At least, five lakh people listen to Gurgaon Ki Awaaz. Just like its counterparts, the station focusses on programmes on mental health counselling to specially deal with the stress over the lockdown. "For example, in one of the programmes that lasted for about 40 minutes, we had 10 callers. Atleast, nine of them were migrants and one was a local and two women. Many asked about food availability; they wanted to know if they can step out, some just wanted to talk, some were worried because they have not got their full wages, some wanted to know about helpline numbers, some even complained about closed mobile repair shops," said Jaiman. Local is focal The significance of local flavour in community radio set up is indisputable and it stands out as the biggest USP of this nature of mass media service. In case of Radio Brahmaputra, while the four languages - Assamese, Sadri, Hajong and Mising - stick out to reach a sizeable rural audience. However, for the Bangalore-based Sarathi Jhalak, which is situated very close to the IT hub in Whitefield, the rural audience serves as its pillar of strength. "Our radio station caters to more than 250 villages in and around Hoskote sub-division. It is a local community-centric radio station. Whether it is programming on mid-day meal scheme, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, health, education, finance, trade, commerce, we try to deliver information on the local level. We also cover issues on gender, art, culture and cinema," said Shamantha. The bond between the radio station and its community can be judged from the level of confidence that Shamantha exudes to measure the impact of COVID-19 programmes on the listeners. "We were evaluating our quality of programme along with Kannada television channels. We are doing it very professionally like any mainstream television or radio channels. We are doing much more than any state or national media because we are directly linked to the grassroots," Shamantha told Firstpost. Being a community radio station in Wayanad, which shares a border with Tamil Nadu, Radio Mattoli mostly caters to the tribal audience and broadcasts in Malayalam and other tribal languages. "Wayanad is at a high altitude since its on the Western Ghats, and thats why our reach is not only in the district but also extends to Coorg in Karnataka and the Nilgiri district in Tamil Nadu. It also goes to Mallapuram and Kannur districts in Kerala. Our listeners are nearly three lakhs," the Radio Mattoli station head said. Radio Brahmaputra is situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra river, and it not only covers half of Dhemaji and Dibrugarh districts (with a population of 6.5 lakh), but also Likabali, the headquarters of Lower Siang district in Arunachal Pradesh. "We cover nearly 25-30 kilometres because radio waves travel freely over the Brahmaputra without obstruction. In Dibrugarh, we cover the town area and reach up to Rangalao Bazar, Khowang, Moran Pothalibam and Dikom including 38 tea gardens. We cover Silapathar and Jonai in Dhemaji," Bhuyan said. Facing financial distress Despite all their work, the community radio stations continue to face acute financial crisis. "Revenue is a huge issue for us. We need a minimum of Rs 20,000 per month to run the radio station. There are salaries, power bills and rent to worry about. There is no profit in running a community radio station. The only hope is that you might get a few projects," said Orissa Gramin Vikash's Samantaray. Sarathi Jhalak is doing good work but Shamantha's biggest worry is managing this month's finance which includes rent, salary apart from other miscellaneous expenditures. Unlike the community radio stations owned by the educational institutions, those owned by NGOs often deal with an existential crisis because of revenue worries. "The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has no dearth of funds but we are not getting it," said Shamantha. Father Bijo of Radio Mattoli pointed out at the irony of the situation. "In the last six years, we won the Sustainability Model Award twice. But even then we have difficulty in sustaining ourselves. Funding is the most critical thing here. We are running out of advertisements. The lockdown has made it worse. I need to pay Rs 5-6 lakh in salaries every month to my 22 staff members," he said. Already reeling under a financial strain, the community radio station in Gajapati, established in 2017, also had to bear the brunt of nature's fury as its infrastructure was massively damaged during Cyclone Titli in 2018. For Radio Brahmaputra, involving the staff in other activities, outside of broadcasting, has become a necessary source of sustenance.
