[Arul Selvan]

  AIR Resources head HO Srivastava told eFE that letters have been sent 
out to 400 universities and colleges across the country about the campus 
radio programme. According to Dr Srivastava, at least two of these 
universities are likely to sign up with AIR next week. AIR will offer 
total turnkey solution to these institutes, which would include 
providing transmitters, transmission towers, antenna, cable, playback 
facility and helping them get licences.

The institutes will of course have to shell out some amount for the 
facility. AIR will charge each institute anything from Rs 10 lakh to 15 
lakh for the total solution. Although theres no licence fee, campus 
radio may take time to actually get going.
