Community Radio (CR) stations are low-cost, small-area radio stations run by and for local communities.  
In this talk, speaker Ramakrishnan Nagarajan examines the current status of CR in India; and the potential pros and cons of viewing CR as an alternative to internet-based media in India.

1. Could CR stations provide a mechanism for communication when internet-based messsaging and social media fail? 
2. Is CR a credible alternative? 
3. What would be the challenges involved in making it an effective mechanism to bypass the communication failure than happens during an internet shutdown?
