relevant to a local/specific audience but often overlooked by commercial or All India Radio.
RADIO LUIT is not-for profit and endeavours to provide a mechanism for facilitating students, teachers, non-teaching staff, their family members and the members of the community hailing from the surrounding areas to tell their own diverse stories, to share experiences in a media rich world and to become active creators and contributors of media.Presently, the Station is manned by one full time Programme Executive and a group of casual announcers/anchors-volunteers drawn from the students of IDOL, departments of Journalism & Mass Communication and other academic departments of the University. The Radio station covers an area of approximately 15 km radius around Gauhati University.
