Public Service Broadcasting Day is observed on November 12 each year to honor the vital role of broadcasting in connecting citizens with their government and promoting democratic values. The day commemorates Mahatma Gandhi’s historic visit to All India Radio in 1947, when he addressed refugees from Pakistan. It highlights the enduring importance of radio and television in fostering public awareness, education, and national unity.
Events on this day often include special broadcasts, discussions on the relevance of public service media, and tributes to the pioneers of broadcasting in India. The celebration serves as a reminder of the responsibility of media to inform, educate, and inspire society.
