Migration

Sab Khairiyat Hai Na

Sab Khairiyat Hai Na (Is all well with you?) is a series of conversations over the phone with a motley group of our listeners who share their experiences of being caught in the Covid-19 storm.

People share their stories of surviving the first, suddenly announced, unplanned lockdown. The wait for food, for salaries, the loss of work, the fear of the virus, of the police, of the future.

People talk of how they finally made their way back home. What they hope for in the future. Those who stayed behind share their stories of surviving the virus and forever being outsiders in a city that many have made their home for over a decade.

GKA Campaigns

Gurgaon Ki Awaaz takes up some of the most burning issues in our community and design radio campaigns around them.

In contrast to programs, which can be a part of a campaign, a campaign is sustained, collaborative, with detailed formative research, and participatory.

Our on-going campaign is the Covid-19 Campaign to ensure that verified, actionable, hyper-local information on Covid-19, Coronavirus, the arrangements being made by the Gurugram district administration, the restrictions to movements, the availability of essential commodities, and access to doctors and hospitals, is made available on a daily basis to our listeners.

The Migration Campaign

Migrants are one of our key target audience since inception. Issues of migration and building a positive narrative around rural-to-urban migration is important to us. Our programs on migration are focussed on building conversations that encourage communities to be supportive of each other, and accepting of each other’s cultural practices. Through our program series Saara Aasmaan Hamara (The Sky Is Ours Too) we feature first person narratives by people from our community telling their journey from their village to Gurgaon and their experiences along the way.
