The role of communication in enhancing participation in governance and improving the development indicatorsisneedlesstosayverysignificant.Thishasbeennotedby manyscholarsand planners andhence findsitsreflectionintheplanningandfundallocationforcommunicationindifferentgovernmentprogrammes andschemes.However,questionsremainonwhichparadigmofcommunicationisbestsuitedforthepurpose ofimprovingparticipationandownershipingovernance. InthepresentcontextofIndia,therepresentationalaspectofgovernancehasassumedimmenseimportance. Withthe73rdAmendmentonlocalSelfGovernanceusheringinanewpossibilityofdecentralizedgovernance, thelasttwodecadeshavebeenwitnessestomanyinitiativesandmeasurestoimprovepeoplesparticipation ingovernance.Thisisimprovingtransparencyandresponsibilityatbothends. Despiteopenness,thepracticeofdevelopmentcommunicationhasmostlyreliedonatopdownapproach.In participatory development, the communication processes itself allows access, participation and ownership amongcommunitieshelpingthemdecide,create,ownanddisseminatecontent. Numerous examples across the globe indicate that a sustainable for the participatory communication paradigm is through Community Media Institutions. Community Media is a locally based media institution whichisby,ofandforthecommunities,hasalimitedreach,dealswithlocalissues,lowcostandculturally relevant.Thus,initstruesenseadecentralizedmediaplayingtheroleofwatchdogofthesociety. InIndia,anopportunitywascreatedwhenafteralongstruggle,theGovernmentofIndiaannounceditsnew Community Radio Policy in December 2006. For the first time in the history of India, communities were allowed to apply for licenses to setup and manage their own radio stations through NGOs. It became importanttoinvestinCommunityMediaasitofferedtheimmenseopportunityforthecommunitiestovoice theirviewsandparticipateinthedevelopmentprocess.Ithasdemocratizedmediaandcreatedathirdtierof media at local level. It is becoming a tool for social change demonstrating the importance of investing in programmesthatcreatecommunityvoices. Irrespectiveofallthismerits,theuseofCommunityMediahasnotgrownatapacewhichwasexpectedand desired.Thereasonsvaryfromthoserelatedtoalackofunderstandingaboutthepossibilitiesanduseofthe media to policy regulations. This is good time to deliberate on the experiences gained in using community media,thechallengesandimmenseopportunitiesoffered.FiveyearsaftertheCommunityRadioPolicycame into effect; the workshop is opportune in providing a platform for sharing experiences in the use of other community media and facilitates partnerships between the government, the private sector and the civil society.
