India's Radio City network has contributed in the setting up of Karnataka's first community radio at the Bangalore Parappana Agrahara Central Jail. 

The initiative will witness inmates and cops come together to manage the radio station for the jail and inform, educate and entertain the inmates.

Through this initiative, Radio City wants to help the Karnataka State Prisons Department to divert the prisoners' energy towards creative endeavours with a participatory approach.

The network’s Bangalore station helped the prison board setup the radio station with its technical team. Its RJs conducted a 15-day training session on how to man the station on a day-to-day basis and taught the basics of radio like sourcing and delivering content like a true blue radio station to 40 inmates and prison personnel.

The community radio will be launched by Karnataka State Prisons Department and air shows including devotional songs, latest Hindi hits, talks on prisoners’ rights, parole eligibility and news bulletins everyday between 7am and 7 pm. As a special gesture, the inmates of the prison will also be able to hear birthday wishes from their family members.
