The application procedure for a CR is to complicated. Even for NGOs wih 3 year track record it is too difficult to get through the hurdles.

The “points of dissatisfaction” you have noted capture many of the procedural bottlenecks that beset social innovation in India. Although some Agricultural Universities have set up CR stations, I remain skeptical about the participation of local communities in content production process in such ventures.

The "points of dissatisfaction" you have noted capture many of the procedural bottlenecks that beset social innovation in India. Although some Agricultural Universities have set up CR stations, I remain skeptical about the participation of local communities in content production process in such ventures. This incongruence between aiming to spread community radio among the masses, and then setting eligibility criteria that restrict the eligibility to certain plausible sections like non profits, educational institutions is symptomatic of a Public Policy rooted in the license raj era. A change in this mindset is necessary. Wish you good luck with your efforts. This is the most informative piece on CR movement I have read so far.
