Welcome to Gram Vaani Community Media
Can technology be used to empower communities?
Gram Vaani (meaning ‘voice of the village’) is our answer to this question. We develop telecommunication and media solutions that give communities a louder, sharper voice. Working directly with villages and neighbourhoods across India, our work encourages community information sharing. It also enables closer engagement between people and the large institutions concerned with their development- governments, NGOs, and corporates.
Our technology enabling participatory media has been deployed in communities in India and southern Africa. One of our products, GRINS, is the leading radio automation software for community radios in India. Our news-over-phone service in Jharkhand and Afghanistan encourages citizen journalism and has created large scale impact in improving redressal rates for issues in the implementation of government schemes. To test the power of tools combining social media and telephony, we even designed and implemented a citizen feedback platform for the Delhi Municipal Corporation, pro-bono.
