11. Conclusion
In overall wecan take Radio Nepal as only medium of communication with ruralilletrate
peoples. Radio Nepal has been playing this role since its establishment.Radio Nepal is Voice
of Voiceless. Radio Nepal takes news, views, and actions of Governmentto ruralpeople
and also bring back their opinion and feedbacks on governmentplans and policies.Radio
Nepal is only one medium or middleperson between govenmentand citizens.
Recommendation
Though Radio Nepal is only medium between Governmentand citizens, its reach has not
reached to full population.Radio Nepal’s contents are illetrate people friendly which most
of the people are unawareabout.People(youth) this days rarely listen to Radio Nepal , as
they prefer to hear songs or entertainment based Fms as per their desire.
Radio Nepal to be Voice fo Voiceless need to makeits coverage moreclear with high
frequency so other local Fmstations dont get mix with Radio Nepal’s frequency, also Radio
Nepal need to increase entertainment based programs to increase youth listners and match
their desire and get their opinions for development.
