Agriculture and Water
The signature program of the radio station reaches out to the traditional agrarian communities, especially the small-scale farmers with low productivity, and encourages them to avail government subsidies and programs and adopt new technologies for their benefit. This program correlates with SDG Goal 1—End poverty in all its forms everywhere, and SDG Goal 2—End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.

Local Participation & Sustainability
Community radio’s essence of participatory communication goes a long way on achieving the goal. At CR Connect, our work on SDG 16 Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions pertains to legal empowerment and promoting citizen participation to bring about awareness and capacity enhancement to ensure increased justice to end poverty, reduce inequality, and create conditions for shared and sustainable prosperity.
Programs: Gaon Ki Chaupal
Gender
Working on SDG 5, CR Connect provides a platform for girls and women to speak out their concerns and aspirations. Women’s perspectives and opinions are not often given much priority. This is more so in villages, where women’s mobility is restricted and confined to household chores. CR Connect programs demonstrate that society needs women’s leadership, and their essential involvement brings social and positive behavioral changes to rural communities.
Programs: Kuch Tum Kaho Kuch Hum Kahen; Hinsa Ko No; Udaan
Health and Hygiene
CR Connect programs on health and hygiene focus on building awareness about cleanliness and the importance of clean drinking water. The team profiles villages in terms of health infrastructure, features ASHA and anganwadi workers, and interviews members from the Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committees.
Programs: Saaf, Safai, aur Sehat; Sehat Ka Paigaam
Edutainment
CR Connect, in partnership with IIT Bombay and CR Kadal O Sai, brings to the community the Spoken Tutorial Platform, where learning is made fun through entertaining programs. The radio show focuses on everyday phenomena through a scientific lens- science in daily life, where the chemistry of cooking and the physics of sports is narrated through everyday activities.
