Abstract
THE growth of radio broadcasting during recent years has been so marked that in most of the larger European countries, in the United States of America, in Australia and in Canada, the number of registered listeners exceeds five per cent of the population. Actually, the number of licensed listeners in Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the end of 1934 amounted to about 15 per cent of the population. In India, however, with its population of more than 350 millions, the number of registered listeners is less than 12,000, or about 0-003 per cent. This fact, with many others illustrating the very elementary stage attained by radio broadcasting in India, is given in a paper by Mr. K. Sreenivasan entitled “Development of Nationwide Radio Broadcasting in India”, published in Electrotecknics for April 1935.
