Lucknow: The world's largest school as recognised by the Guinness
Book has made its foray into the media world with the launch of an
Educational Frequency Modulation (FM) Radio Channel.

Lucknow-based City Montessori School (CMS) would become the first
intermediate level institution in the country to run an educational
FM Radio.

Union HRD minister Arjun Singh will inaugurate the Channel on July 1
next at a ceremony here.
CMS is the biggest school in a single city anywhere in the world
having over 29,000 students on its rolls. Addressing a news
conference yesterday, CMS Founder-Manager Jagdish Gandhi said the
90.4 MHz FM Radio would air five hours programme daily in two shifts
from 0700 to 0930 hrs and from 1900 to 2130 hrs.

The Channel has materialised with the active support and cooperation
of the All India Radio (AIR).

''The Channel aims at establishing a strong link between the
students, teachers and parents as well as act as a friendly channel
for today's youth,'' said Gandhi.

The FM Radio will also host phone-in programmes featuring guest
lectures, career counselling, subject tutorials, interview with child
psychologists, teaching sessions, besides quizzes based on general
and subject knowledge. ''It will encourage students to produce their
programmes and act as anchors on the Radio shows,'' he added.

United Nations General Assembly has invited Gandhi, also a social
activist, to participate and provide inputs from NGOs in the hearings
to reform the world body.
