91.2 NIVH Hello Doon – Meet RJs with visual impairment
This is India’s first community radio station where blind RJs take the mic, not just to entertain but to break barriers. From training people with visual impairment to become confident radio jockeys to creating awareness-driven programs, this station is redefining what’s possible!
Tune in and hear for yourself from the RJs how voices, passion and resilience come together to create a world where disability is not a limitation at all!
At 91.2 NIVH Hello Doon, radio isn’t just about sound – it’s about empowerment!

91.2 NIVH Hello Doon – This is the name of our community radio.
And I feel very happy to say that this community radio, NIVH Hello Doon, is the first such community radio in India where we make programs related to all kinds of disabilities.
We create awareness programs — whether it’s about caregivers or about helping people understand that if they experience a disability, there’s no need to panic.
What matters is knowing what to do next.
