Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the Akashvani Dahod FM Relay Station Project in Gujarat. The 10-kilowatt station will cater to about 25 lakh people in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
The ceremony was held in Gujarat’s Bodeli and was performed virtually by the Prime Minister along with other projects. The station will cost ₹11 crore and will cover a 55-km radius area, encompassing close to 75% of the tribal district of Dahod.
“This transmitter will also partially cover the neighbouring tribal districts of Madhya Pradesh, including Alirajpur and Jhabua. With the launch of the Dahod station, over 25 lakh residents of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh will gain access to high-quality FM broadcasts,” said a government release.
