BHUPENDRA RANA, Vadodara
Sayaji FM, MSU’s
online radio station, will reach more ears this academic year, commencing June
15. The students’ radio station, which was adopted by MSU in March this
year but used to run from the residence of its founder Yogesh Jangir due to
lack of space on campus, will now get a place in the prestigious Smt.
Hansa Mehta Library building.
Dedicated interns from
the Student Internship Programme launched last year will churn out fresh
content.
Currently, there are
more than 40 dedicated interns from all the faculties. There are 12 RJs,
selected from the ‘RJ hunt programme’ that conducted on the campus last year.
Students use the recording studio of Faculty of Performing Arts. Interviews of
prominent personalities of Vadodara, audio clips of important lectures, and
light music programmes are in the schedule list.
Jangir said, “With
this dedicated space for our radio, we will produce more interesting content
which can be useful to all MSU students. We are surprised that former students
of MSU, who are settled outside India are listening to our programmes. We are uploading
our content on the third party online websites at present, but we are working
on application which will make the access easy.”
“Students who are
working as interns are very dedicated… they are also working during the
vacation,” he said.
MSU Syndicate member
Jigar Inamdar said, “We have adopted Sayaji FM as an official radio
station of MSU. This year, we have allotted space in Smt. Hansa Mehta Library
to this team. Right now, it is an online radio and we will experiment with the
same format… our plan is to make it a full-fledged radio station for MSU.”
Aditya Hore (19),
student of first year of Bachelor of Commerce, who is working as an intern on
the radio platform, said, “I was selected as RJ to work with radio project
during my internship programme… it was a very useful learning as RJ.”
