Where is community radio in India today?

I've written briefly about radio in India as of today, and this is mainly my diatribe about what's happening with the third category of radio in India- Community Radio.
To get to the nub of the story straight away, its been one year (give or take a week) since the Government of India, declared that NGOs, colleges and Krishi Vigyan Kendras (and not communities!!!) can apply for community radio licenses.
Today not even one NGO is on air. About 30 colleges are on air today, but nobody knows what kind of programming they are doing, how much of the community they are involving, what kind of impact has it had and so on. There is no central or organizing force which makes this kind of information available.
So in the land of committees and sub-committees, how on Earth did we miss this one out? Of course we didn't!
Sometime in Jan 2007, a body calling itself Community Radio Forum (CRF) was formed, with some of the people who have been associated with community radio initiatives, being at the centre of things.
They would have campuses, NGOs, Krishi Vigyan Kendras as members (since the policy has forced them to share the roof). They would organize details about members, their programming, their impact, their policies, would take up their case in advocacy matters, at the time of application, in case they got in to trouble with the government, create awareness about the concept, facilitate better technology for community radio etc. A noble thought, and what's more, a noble action, the meeting I mean.
We have already seen how seriously the government has taken its own policy.
Now its going to be a year since the CRF was formed. Even today, the CRF has not registered itself. So there is no question of members. Some people who are interested, use the open mailing list cr-india@sarai.net.
My open challenge is to approach the communities anywhere in India, and see if they have heard about the CRF. My guess is that you would be able to count them on a single hand.
Many NGO's have got their application for radio rejected (despite them being rooted in the community) merely on grounds that they are based in conflict areas. Sadly, there is no organization to come to their defence.
NGOs or institutions new to this matter have no idea how to apply, or what equipment to buy or generally, what to do and when.
According to the laws of physics, there are more than 5 million community radio stations which can come up in India, and after a year, about 30 colleges is the best we can showcase to the world and to our people.
Today, the hype is over, people have gone back to their own jobs, and soon new policies will come and its going to be the same new circus all over again. I say with shame that the sheer potential of community radio in India (especially in India!) may never be realized, and we would have lost the opportunity of a lifetime to hand over the power of a medium like radio to the real people of India, who need it the most.
