Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis lauded the timeless influence of radio as a cultural medium, while speaking at the Maharashtra Radio Festival and the Maharashtra Asha Radio Gaurav Awards held in Mumbai.

Drawing a contrast between modern technological advancements and traditional audio broadcasting, Fadnavis said, “Expressing through an audio-visual mode is easy because it is visible. The best thing about a radio is that everything is expressed, even when no one is visible.”

He emphasized that radio has always served as a bridge between emotions and imagination, relying solely on the power of voice and sound. “The new technology is letting us experience 3D, 4D and even 17D, but when there was only 1D, only music, at that time, radio gave a voice to our expression and shaped our cultural heritage,” he added.
