Despite the large scale presence of private media channels, All India Radio has still not lost its relevance even today. Rather, being a public service broadcaster, AIR has been propagating the messages of service to the nation and its cultural elegance. This was stated by Mr. Suresh Chandra Panda, Chief Executive Officer, Prasar Bharati today in the 70th anniversary function of AIR Cuttack in Cuttack. <br/><br/>He said, AIR is different from the private media in the sense that it has to carry out the mandate of serving the people of this country. Mr Manoranjan Panigrahi, secretary, dept of Culture, govt of Odisha and others also spoke on the occasion.
