The government will build a new Akashvani Kendra in Ujjain under the Broadcasting Infrastructure and Network Development (BIND) scheme. This centre will help improve communication services in the area. It will focus on reaching more people through radio, especially in rural and remote areas of Madhya Pradesh.

Centre–State Collaboration for Better Communication

The decision was taken after a meeting between Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. They discussed how the Central and State governments can work together to improve media outreach, public communication, and broadcasting services.

An official statement confirmed that both leaders agreed to take steps that would benefit the people of the state through better access to information and stronger infrastructure.

About the BIND Scheme

The BIND scheme is a major project of the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It supports the development of broadcasting infrastructure like Akashvani (All India Radio) and Doordarshan (DD) across the country. Its aim is to ensure that even the remotest villages can receive important government messages, news, and cultural programs.

The new Akashvani Kendra in Ujjain is part of this effort and will help preserve local culture, share government updates, and provide educational and entertainment content.
