The radio service is a part of the university’s social responsibility project. According to her, the radio service will not only keep people informed about the environment-related issues but will also address the local issues. Lately, with increasing social problems like women's safety, it is very important to address them and talk about different ways through which their safety can be ensured.

It will address the problems related to the disaster, its effects, school admissions and others local problems faced by the residents in their day-to-day life.
