Radio Kashmir Jammu has embarked upon an ambitious journey of taking Radio to the very door step of its listeners since last few months. In its endeavour to do so Radio Jammu has started a series of poetic symposiums and music concerts at various locations in the region including, Rajouri,Poonch,Kalakote,Akhnoor, Nud, Samba, Gurha Slathia etc.
Radio is the only mass media that reaches every household of the State, but these programmes are meant to physically take the artists and the presenters of radio Jammu to its listeners and perform in front of invited audience.
