Chandigarh, March 17, 2022: Panjab University's community radio station 91.2 Jyotirgamya is all set to launch a brand new show called "Ek kavi, anek kavita" on March 21,2022 which happens to be world poetry day. The weekly show is prepared and anchored by Professor Archana R Singh of school of communication studies.
Prof Singh says that Hindi poetry is enjoyed by all but its popularity is gradually decreasing. Many of the poems that will be recited in the show will remind the audience of popular poems that might have heard on the past. The aim is thus to revive the love for poetry among masses, especially the youth.
Each episode of the show will include poetry by different Indian poets along with Prof Singh's own poems. In addition, she will talk about the poet, the poem being recited and anecdotes from her own life. Prof Singh is a Hindi poetess and has published her book of poems titled, "Kavita toh Kahi nahin" in 2021.
Panjab University's community radio station was started in 2011 and is currently running 12 shows. Housed in the School of Communication Studies, the community radio is open for all.
Dr. Sumedha Singh, Chairperson, School of Communication Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh expressed her joy over the beginning of the new program and said "This program will bridge the gap between the youth and the world of poetry by bringing forth the tribia about the poet and the hidden treasure of expression in their poetry".
