Internet radio (also web radio, net radio, streaming radio, e-radio, IP radio, online radio) is a digital audio service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means.

More about FBS

Specially FBS has identified the youths who are engaging with the agriculture enterprises and practicing the modern technology for agriculture are seeking to get information from responsible agencies. Sometime these young farming
communities are not found to extension officers in their conventional and routing extension services. But this community should be considered as a special group in agriculture sector and they will be the early adopters in some agricultural innovations introduced locally.

Therefore, FBS strongly believe that Krushi Radio can take a big part of the communicate to young farming community regards to new agricultural technology.
