The studio of Radio Jyoti is located at the Emmaus Catholic Church in Bogra, a district in the diocese. The goal is to raise awareness about Christ and the Church. Some 25 local Catholic youths, mostly from ethnic minorities, have been trained to produce and host radio programmes. For the present, the radio is broadcasting for an hour a day, but is planning for more hours. “We want to produce longer programmes so that listeners at home and abroad can hear the country’s Christian news, world Church news, as well as national news,” Bishop Rozario said.
