Ministry of Information, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has announced New Community Radio Installation Broadcast and Operation Policy 2017 by Bangladesh Gazette on 8 February 2018.
According to the preamble of Bangladesh Gazette, At the age of the enormous development of science and information technology the world turns to be a ‘Global Village’. It has been assumed that the importance of radio has declined at the age of the global domination of electronic media but in reality, the importance of radio hasn’t decreased in developed, developing & least developed countries. Moreover, radio is playing the vital role by its new initiatives of creative programming to develop education, culture, humanitarian values, and awareness for the cross-section of people of the society. In continuation of these realities, a number of community radios have been installed which are dedicated to the different grass root communities and population of the society of Bangladesh.
These radio stations, known as community radio have been operating in local dialects of the peripheral communities, and with their participation and management. Community Radios are engaged with the help of modern knowledge and technology to bring positive change in the society by local folk culture.
Community-based organizations (CBOs) are non-profits that operate within a single local community. They address local needs and facilitate community development efforts like access to microfinance and improving community health, education, and infrastructure. CBOs plan, implement, and monitor social and economic development programs with technical and financial assistance to communities. They have played an important role in development in Pakistan by building infrastructure, providing services, and empowering local communities. Suggestions to enhance CBO performance include increasing transparency, collaboration with other groups, and ensuring democratic representation and decision-making.
The document discusses the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. ECOSOC is one of the six principal organs of the UN and is responsible for coordinating economic, social, and related work. It has 54 member states that are elected by the General Assembly for three-year terms. ECOSOC meets annually in July for 4-6 weeks to review international economic and social issues and formulate policy recommendations.
Media law in India is based on parliamentary democracy where the press is free but subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by the constitution. Historically, the mass media was controlled by the government but globalization has led to privatization and changes. Print, broadcast, films, advertising and cyber laws regulate these industries in India. Key laws include the Press and Registration of Books Act of 1867, Constitution granting freedom of press in 1950, Cable Television Networks Regulation Act of 1995, Cinematograph Act of 1952 governing films and the Information Technology Act of 2000 covering cyber crimes.
The document discusses the effects of television on youth from ages 2-18 in three areas: perception, social development, and imitation. It argues that young children spend many hours watching TV which can distort their understanding of reality and cause them to mistake fictional characters as role models. As they get older, TV is said to promote prioritizing popularity and consumerism over community values and education. The document also suggests TV exposure is linked to increasing rates of attention issues and obesity in America's youth.
Stakeholders are people or groups that are impacted by policies and have a stake in their outcomes. They can influence policymaking and include groups like citizens, employees, communities, and organizations. It is important for policymakers to consider stakeholders because their approval determines the success or failure of policies. Policymakers craft policies to appeal to influential stakeholders in order to gain support and stay in office. An ideal relationship involves stakeholders providing input to policymaking, but realistically they must lobby, protest, or rally to ensure their voices are heard. Properly analyzing and managing stakeholders is crucial for developing effective public policy.
The presentation proposes launching a new television channel called Nari Television focused on empowering women in Nepal. It notes that while Image Channel was Nepal's first private TV channel, it and other channels lack programming related to women's careers, empowerment and importance in society. Nari TV would feature shows on improving women's skills, acknowledging women's successes, and entertainment tailored towards women, with the goal of reaching all women in Nepal. Market research suggests a large target audience among Nepal's population that is majority female and has lower literacy rates for women compared to men.
The document discusses the Shrimp Turtle Case from the perspective of developing nations. In 1991 and 1993, US guidelines on shrimp imports violated WTO rules. This led India, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Thailand to bring the matter to dispute settlement. The US ban on shrimp imports hurt developing nations by requiring the adoption of expensive Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) within four months. While the objective of protecting sea turtles was justified, developing nations argued the approach was unfair and discriminatory. In 1998, a WTO panel ruled the US ban was inconsistent with trade rules and should be revised to be non-discriminatory. The dispute highlighted tensions between environmental and trade policies, as well as divisions between developed and developing

Social advocacy promotes social justice, equality, and inclusion. It empowers disadvantaged groups to have their voices heard and influence decisions that affect them. Social advocacy has three goals: promoting social change through challenging injustice and inequality; solving problems by providing support and services; and empowering people through education and enabling them to deal with difficult situations. Effective social advocacy involves listening to individuals, using their experiences to inform advocacy for systemic change, and promoting participation in decisions. It is a crucial tool for social workers to achieve social justice.

Communication has purposes other than those related to the realm of the media industry; it also educates and alleviates people from ignorance of the events and issues in society. “ICT is a major development agenda in the Philippines because different forms of media have become part of practically all facets of Philippine society.”
Communication practitioners and journalists may find areas of work in private or public institutions, depending on the level of influence or contribution they want to make to their community.
As advanced by Stuart Hall, encoding and decoding presuppose that the decoders actively make sense of the message based on their individual social context or reality, and later on send feedback or collectively change the message.
The document summarizes South Sudan's digital engagement strategy. It outlines the country's vision to make ICT a driver of economic growth and development. Key points include establishing policies and regulations to liberalize the telecom market and expand infrastructure to rural areas. The strategy aims to facilitate access to communications services to generate jobs, alleviate poverty, and provide government services to citizens. It also discusses establishing various institutions like an ICT agency and regulatory authority to coordinate implementation and oversee the growing communications sector through public-private partnerships.
1. Bangladesh currently lacks a comprehensive Broadcasting Policy to regulate its growing broadcast media landscape which now includes over 10 TV channels and radio stations.
2. A Broadcasting Policy is needed to promote culture and values, ensure economic interests and national sovereignty, and make sure media fulfills social responsibilities, while also protecting freedom of expression.
3. The policy should maximize the positive impacts of media and minimize negative impacts. It should provide guidelines around content, ownership rules to prevent monopolies, and address consumer complaints. Having one overall policy is preferable to separate laws for different media types.
Media Reforms in Sri Lanka - Highlights of a Rapid Assessment by Nalaka Gunaw...Nalaka Gunawardene
Media Development in Sri Lanka: Highlights of a Rapid Assessment is the plenary presentation by Nalaka Gunawardene, media development consultant, to the Sri Lanka National Media Summit on Media Reforms held in Colombo on 13 May 2015.
This was a national level event jointly convened by the Ministry of Mass Media, Sri Lanka Press Institute, University of Colombo and International Media Support, to discuss broad-ranging policy, legal and institutional reforms needed in Lankan media.
Community radio in Bangladesh faces both prospects and challenges. There are now 14 community radio stations operating with 2 more soon to start. The key strategic objectives for community radio in Bangladesh are to create an enabling environment through supportive policy, build capacity of local officials, ensure community representation and ownership, and identify challenges to growth. Some challenges faced include unreliable electricity, lack of quality programming and trained staff, and socio-political pressures. Opportunities include government support for civil society and awareness of marginalized community rights. Annual reviews help stations improve community participation, skills, and address issues like unreliable electricity and staff turnover.
Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) is in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) accredited with World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) of the United Nations and UN WSIS prize winner 2016 and Champion 2017. BNNRC's outreach extends to local, national and international forums for communicating Knowledge for Media.
BNNRC’s approach to media development is both knowledge-driven and context-sensitive, and it takes into account the challenges and opportunities created by the rapidly changing media environment in Bangladesh including community radio development giving voices for the voiceless.

Abstract:
Man got civilized with exchange of information and freedom of expression among groups and masses over the period of time. The mainstream media especially public service broadcaster has tried to reach maximum socially and geographically in the country but did not reach to local expectation of the community and that’s why community radio came into existence as an alternative media. Whatever happens, happens for good, now, government realized the need of community radio within the geography and started allocating spectrum to the need base community so that community becomes responsible and accountable to each other including governments and empowered the community to get participative & live life democratically.
The radio today, is the effective source of information but to most of us it is a passion to get participative in the community at a large. India is a multi dimensional country in terms of population, culture, religion, ethnicity, perception and belief systems, therefore, the terrain of some of the areas is difficult, making them almost inaccessible and by far cut off from the mainstream and similar could be the case of community radios within the capacity limit. Therefore, Akashvani(AIR) has had the challenge of reaching out to even far flung of regions, hence both public service broadcaster and alternate media seems to be at a nascent yet promising and prospective stage, ripe of proper documentation and development of global tools and processes in this digital world. For now, integration remains an ad-hoc and highly individual enterprise. It is important to continue to document and share need based success & failure approach of public service broadcaster and community radios to enable successful adoption of new incarnations by community radio stations.
This document discusses communication and publicity strategies for agricultural censuses. It emphasizes that effective communication is essential to ensure public acceptance and cooperation. A communication strategy should identify target audiences, develop clear messages about the census purpose and confidentiality of data, and select appropriate communication channels. The strategy is implemented through a variety of tools like media events, advertising, training staff, and community meetings to educate respondents and promote participation. Monitoring coverage and feedback allows improving the strategy during census implementation.

1.0. Introduction:
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a global initiative that aims at promoting transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption and encourage use of new technologies to improve governance. The OGP is overseen by a multi-stakeholder International Steering Committee comprised of Government and civil society representatives. One of the major benefits of OGP is to improve service delivery and make Governments more responsible and accountable to their citizens. Given the benefits of this initiative, Tanzania declared its intention to join OGP during the launching meeting. The decision to join OGP is an important step to complement the Government‟s ongoing efforts to strengthen good governance across all sectors. Good governance has been a critical element to enhance and sustain peace and stability, economic growth, social development and poverty reduction in Tanzania. It is on this basis, that the Government formulated the National Framework for Good Governance (NFGG) in 1999 as a guide to institute good governance in the country. The NFGG envisages a broad-based national partnership for development of good governance. Such a partnership includes Central and Local Governments, Private Sector, Faith-Based and Civil Society Organizations consistent with OGP principles. To spearhead good governance across the Government, several key and cross-cutting governance reforms are being implemented. These core reforms are; the Public Service Reform Program (PSRP), the Local Government Reform Program (LGRP), the Legal Sector Reform Program (LSRP), the Public Financial Management Reform Program (PFMRP) and the National Anti-corruption Strategy and Action Plan (NACSAP). In line with these reforms, sector specific programmes have been undertaken to improve service delivery through the implementation of Decentralization by Devolution (D-by-D). These programmes constitute the policy and strategic framework for enhancing accountability, transparency and integrity in the use of public resources in order to improve service delivery.
The Government has also established and continues to strengthen, empower and improve performance of institutions dealing with issues of good governance, integrity and combating corruption. These include the Ethics Secretariat the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau and the Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance. Other accountability institutions include the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, the National Audit Office and the Parliamentary Watchdog Committees. In addition to this, Tanzania has enacted laws that require leaders and senior public officials to disclose their incomes and assets to the Ethics Secretariat as a measure to instill integrity in public life.

Ministry of Information, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has announced New Community Radio Installation Broadcast and Operation Policy 2017 by Bangladesh Gazette on 8 February 2018.
According to the preamble of Bangladesh Gazette, The world becomes a “Global Village” due to enormous development of advertisement and Information Technology (ICT). It has been assumed that the importance of radio is declining due to the dominating role of electronic media globally but the importance of radio is retaining significantly in developed, developing & least developed countries. Moreover, radio is playing a vital role to improve the area of education, culture, human values & dignity, awareness building and cultural development with a new dimension.
In this consequence, significant numbers of radio stations were established under the community policy 2008 dedicating for the marginalized communities. These radios are known as “community radio”, operating with the participation and management of marginalized communities in their dialect. Community radios engage in social transformation by using cultural diversity with the support of knowledge and technologies.
Community radio is the “Voice of the Voiceless”. To make the Community Radio reach wider, accelerate and appropriate, the new “Community Radio Installation, Broadcast and Operation Policy 2017” has been developed and approved by reviewing the existing policy.
The document outlines an initiative to create awareness of right to information laws through community radio programs and community dialogues. It aims to motivate community radio broadcasters to produce interactive programs on issues related to the right to information act and encourage them to promote this issue. The activities include awarding best community radio programs on the right to information law and conducting two community dialogues on the act to sensitize local communities in Gaibandha and Sitakunda. Major recommendations are to organize regular community dialogues at the union and college level and use the right to information in community radio reporting.
This document discusses challenges to journalist safety in Bangladesh and interventions to address the issue. It notes that journalists in Bangladesh face various threats including arrest, lawsuits, killings, attacks, and intimidation. The types of attacks range from minor assaults to abduction and death threats. Ownership of media houses by politically connected business interests and self-censorship of journalists are challenges. The Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) advocates for journalist safety and works with the government on training workshops, observing international days related to press freedom, and curriculum development to increase safety and address impunity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
