Akashvani Rampur

Akashvani Rampur broadcasts from Rampur, a historic town in western Uttar Pradesh once the seat of the princely State of Rampur and renowned for its Nawabi heritage, Rampuri cuisine, and the world-famous Raza Library of rare manuscripts and miniature paintings. On 102.9 FM, the station carries the standard AIR mix of news, talk shows, and Indian music, with programming in Hindi and Urdu that reflects the district’s blend of Rohilkhand culture, its sugar and agro-based economy, and its long-standing tradition of Urdu poetry and classical arts patronised by the former Rampur royal family. As part of ongoing infrastructure upgrades, Prasar Bharati has undertaken installation of a 10kW (1+1) FM transmitter at Akashvani Rampur, strengthening the station’s broadcast reach across the district and neighbouring areas of the Rohilkhand region.

As part of the western Uttar Pradesh network alongside neighboring AIR stations in Bareilly, Moradabad, and Najibabad, Rampur’s station plays a genuinely useful role for the district’s farming and small-industry communities, often carrying content relevant to agriculture, local governance, and civic affairs alongside its regular news coverage. Rampur’s identity as a former princely capital and centre of Indo-Islamic learning gives the station’s talk programming a distinctive cultural and literary character, with segments on Urdu literature, local history, and communal harmony that set it apart from more purely agricultural AIR stations. For listeners across Rampur district, Akashvani offers a dependable mix of information and Hindi-Urdu music suited to daily life in this culturally rich corner of the Rohilkhand region.
