Jagaran Media Center (JMC) established Community Radio " Radio Jagaran 93.6 MHz" in Butwal in January 207 with 500 watts. This is the first radio station run by Dalit community in South Asia. The Radio Produces and broadcasts a wide range of issues on Dalit, women, indigenous peoples, differently able people, Madhesi, LGBTIQ, and Muslims in order to ensure their social justice and equality in society. The listeners in three adjoining districts of Butwal have started forming Jagaran Groups to involve them with the Radio station. More than 30 groups and 20 information centers have been established. They have been continuously engaged in initiating door-to-door campaigns, street drama, and other activities organized by information centers to end caste-based discrimination.
