<span style="color: #222222;">In eastern Ladakh, 80 KM away from Leh, Kyungyam is a small village surrounded by the mountains. The &nbsp;villagers depend on the radio to gain knowledge. Our Leh correspondent &nbsp;has sent us this report &nbsp;on the occasion of 50yrs of AIR Leh services.<br />”<br />”Though it's a small village, Kyungyam in Changthang region has a speciality. This is the 1st Revenue village in the vastly spread Changthang region in pre pre-independence regime. In the present times, Durbuk and Nyoma which were revenue part of Kyungyam are &nbsp;developed as Block level villages.<br />”<br />”However, as the 1st revenue village, the awareness on power of knowledge has made the villagers avid Radio listeners. Mainstay of Villagers is farming and animal rearing. However, villagers are keen in gaining knowledge through listening to Radio.<br />”<br />”Villagers keep Radio as company to listen to news or their favourite ladakhi programs on All India Radio.<br />”<br />”Villager Tashi Paldon says Considering the mountainous topography of the region, &nbsp;villagers' appeal for better reception of Radio signals would further help interior villages like theirs in gaining more information on Government Schemes and programmes from time to time.</span><br />
