All India Radio, formed in 1936, celebrated its Silver Jubilee (25

issued on that occasion.

entertain the masses since it's inception, truly living up to its motto – ‘Bahujan Hitaya : Bahujan Sukhaya’.
One of the largest broadcasting organisations in the world in terms of the
number of languages of broadcast, the spectrum of socio-economic and cultural
diversity it serves, AIR’s home service comprises 413 stations today located
across the country, reaching nearly 92% of the country’s area and 99.19 % of
the total population. AIR originates programming in 23 languages and 146
