All India Radio: Voice of the Nation Since 1936

All India Radio (AIR), now known as Akashvani, stands as one of the oldest and most influential broadcasting institutions in India. Established in 1936, AIR has been a cornerstone of Indian communication, education, culture, and public service for over eight decades.

From its humble beginnings, AIR has grown to operate over 400 radio stations across the country, broadcasting in more than 20 languages and 150 dialects. Its programming spans news bulletins, classical and folk music, educational programs, drama, documentaries, and discussions. Popular segments like Vividh Bharati, FM Rainbow, FM Gold, and regional services have become household staples in both urban and rural India.

AIR played a crucial role in the freedom movement, disaster communication, and rural education. Even today, its presence reaches the most remote villages, thanks to shortwave and medium wave transmissions. As digital adoption rises, AIR has also stepped into online streaming, mobile apps, and podcasting.

Whether you're tuning in for music, news, or cultural insights, All India Radio remains a trusted voice that connects the nation—then, now, and into the future.
