About MOP FM

MOP CRS reaches its community through its programmes. We involve women, senior citizens and children of the community. Women form groups with leaders for each cluster. The groups meet every alternate day in a nearby temple. Radio sets and field recorders are given to them to listen and produce shows. They are also trained as RJ and provided relevant skills. Community festivals such as Samathuvapongal are celebrated where all the clusters meet. Residents and senior citizens in Nungambakkam area gather at a local temple where they discuss various issues on community development and awareness. This initiative has promoted rain water harvesting and created plastic free zones around the temple. We conduct workshops through Children Listeners Club for children to enhance their skills and talents on preparing and recording in various radio formats.

Signature Programme:
MOP CRS's signature programmme is Penne Unakaga (Empowering Women) on air, since 2008, encompassing themes focusing on women's upliftment and empowerment. One very popular programme in this segment is Kasumela Kasuvanthu (entrepreneurship development). Notable women entrepreneurs, persons from NGOs, etc. have shared their experiences through MOP CRS.
In line with the theme, MOP CRS conducts skill training for the community members. Hands-on training through field activities is conducted based on feedback from Kasumela Kasuvanthu. The driving force for the programme has been the impact created among the community members.

Community media is any form of media that is created and controlled by a community, either a geographic community or a community of identity or interest. However, if the fundamental premise of the media is to engage those groups that are categorically excluded and marginalized from the media-making process, it will be included on this website, even if it is not explicitly created and controlled by the community.
