'Sayaji FM' will give MS univ students new voice

The MaharajaSayajirao University of Baroda launched its Online Radio Station - ‘Sayaji FM’. The RJ Yogesh Jangir said that the radio will give a new voice to the M. S. University students. At present the university jingles, pre-recorded social messages and a few Hindi songs are played on the radio but in a few days all activities on the campus will go on air.

With little help coming from M S University authorities, two former university students have decided to take forward their dream of having the university’s own community radio station (CRS) by launching an Internet radio and a mobile-based application to access the radio, called “Sayaji FM”. It can be streamed live on both web and mobile platform.

RJ YogeshJangir, 26, first tried to give shape his dream of starting a CRS for MSU students in 2011, when he was pursuing his B.Sc. Geology. RJ Yogesh started learning to build a radio transmitter from video tutorials on the Internet. He then developed a 1.5 watt radio transmitter which could transmit signals within one-two kilometers.

Playing the radio jockey himself, RJ Yogesh recorded a few poetries, a collection of information related to students, posted on the department notice board and relayed them through his makeshift transmitter first on January 13, 2011. A former radio jockey, RJ Raaj Khidia collaborated on the project.

“I carried the transmitter on the terrace of the Geology department of the university and started broadcasting on a small range of frequencies. We ran the service from 09:00am to 06:00pm daily for around a year and then disbanded it, considering that transmitting this way could be illegal. When we started the radio, we received an appreciation letter from the VC” said RJ Yogesh.

When he was pursuing his M.Sc. Petroleum Geology, his radio station also drew the attention of syndicate members of the university, who discussed about having a CRS for the MSU which could be relayed on a 50 watt transmitter. RJ Yogesh and RJ Raaj were also offered a studio space above the H.M. Library.

Now, after completion of his study, the community radio is in its newest avatar in the form of Sayaji FM, which can be accessed here, or can be downloaded as an App from Radio.Net or TuneIn on any smartphone.

“Sayaji FM RJs will be seen interacting with the young crowd and playing interesting games for all working days in the MSU campus. Sayaji FM team will also conduct RJ Hunt in MSU campus to select RJs from MSU students and various competitions, i.e. Singing Competition etc., to bring out the hidden talent of students. We’ll focus on exploring hidden talent of students. It will be a big platform for talented students.” RJ Yogesh added.

Sayaji FM will also set up the radio booth in campus to provide round the clock educational information, entertainment by playing variety of announcements and music played on air. Sayaji FM will also conduct RJ Hunt where the winner will get a chance to co-host the show some on air shows LIVE from the MSU campus.

Speaking on the occasion, RJ Yogesh said "It is our endeavor to get associated with this high energy college festivals. This will give us a better chance to interact and integrate with the young students - who are our core target listeners. We would ensure that we provide non-stop contests, announcements, entertainment etc to not only the students but also to all the listeners who would be hearing us."
