MUMBAI: For its program – ‘Parwaz’, Delhi based Community Radio Station (CRS), Jamia Radio, is trying to tie up with the Psychology department of the Delhi University. The program, which has received a lot of positive response, aims to bring to light issues like women and HIV, women and heart disease, domestic violence, and women and education.
Additionally, Jamia Radio has also tied up with Sarojini Naidu Centre for Women’s Studies (SNCWS) and Anwar Jamal Kidwai Mass Communication Research Center (AJK MCRC).
“We are always tying up with various departments of the Delhi University. This time we want to get the university’s Psychology professors on board for a special program on domestic violence. We want to analyse what goes on in the minds of both, the culprits and victims of these situations,” said Jamia Radio, producer, Dr. Mohammed Shakeel.
