India celebrates National Broadcasting Day

July 23rd marks National Broadcasting Day in India, commemorating the day in 1927 when the country’s first-ever radio broadcast aired from the Bombay Station under the Indian Broadcasting Company. This historic milestone laid the foundation for All India Radio (AIR), the voice of the nation. Over the decades, AIR has been a vital force in informing, educating, and entertaining the public. It has promoted national integration, safeguarded cultural heritage, and served as a reliable source of news and public service messaging.
