1. Our Story: Echoing the Heartbeat of Rural Karnataka

Welcome to Gramin Bharati 90.4 FM, your cherished community radio station, proudly broadcasting across Gangavathi and its vibrant surrounding villages. Since our inception, our frequency has been more than just a signal; it’s been a lifeline, a companion, and a powerful voice for the people we serve.

2. Born from a Vision: An Initiative of Deepa Samaja Seva Kendra NGO

Gramin Bharati 90.4 FM was founded with a profound vision, brought to life by the dedicated efforts of Deepa Samaja Seva Kendra NGO. Our radio station is a natural extension of the NGO’s longstanding commitment to rural upliftment, sustainable development, and social empowerment in Karnataka. Driven by the principles of community service and grass-roots development, Deepa Samaja Seva Kendra identified the critical need for a localized, accessible, and inclusive media platform – and thus, Gramin Bharati 90.4 FM was born. Our operations are deeply rooted in the NGO’s ethos of fostering positive change and empowering individuals through knowledge and engagement.
