Child care home industries self reliance for women and all such activities can be run through small radio stations.
In this way, television centers can be also decentralized at village level, taluka level and district level which will work specially for social service. Purpose may be educational for agriculture, for cottage industries, for consumer interest, for social security, for social reform, for eradication of superstition for Gauseva, for animal husbandry or any such matter related to public interest. Such thousands of radio and TV centers should be run by people directly. Central Government or State Government should not have any authority to restrict or control such small radio or TV stations. All the powers relating to this activity should vest in district panchayat. A very few programs will be national programs for entire nation. Such national programs can be worked out by the association of district panchayats of the country. No any program will be imposed on the people from central Government.
