The Central Government has proposed the establishment of a new Akashvani Kendra in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, as part of its Broadcasting Infrastructure and Network Development (BIND) scheme. This initiative aims to bolster regional media capabilities and improve access to timely, local information.

The announcement follows a key meeting in New Delhi between Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. L. Murugan, and Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav. Discussions focused on deepening Centre-State cooperation in media outreach, public communication, and broadcasting infrastructure development.

The new Akashvani Kendra in Ujjain will:

The new kendra will enhance the role of Akashvani and Doordarshan in projecting Madhya Pradesh’s growth stories across India and to grassroots audiences.

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to building robust media infrastructure, especially in aspirational and underserved districts. Enhanced connectivity will support effective governance by ensuring accurate and prompt dissemination of government schemes and services.

Also present at the meeting were:
