Speaking on the occasion, Professor A V Navada said that Akashvani is at crossroads. “It has been sidelined due to Doordarshan and mushrooming of private TV channels. Although lesser urbanites listen to Akashvani programmes, it has significant listeners in rural villages. It creates general awareness on great many issues. Mangalore Akashvani station has done good service in promoting Tulunadu cultural hierarchy. Despite visual media posing stiff competition to Akashvani, it has been carrying on its mission in educating the rural masses,” he added.
Academy of General Education administrator Dr S Shantaram was felicitated by Mangalore Akashvani station director Vasant Kumar Perla.The city-based Rastra Kavi Govind Pai Research Centre director Dr Krishna Bhat and MGM College principal Professor Venkataramana Gowda were present on the occasion.
