In India, National Public Service Broadcasting Day is celebrated every year on November 12. This day is celebrated to commemorate the first and last visit of Father of Nation Sh. M.K. Gandhi to all India Radio on November 12, 1947. During his visit to the All-India Radio station, Gandhi addressed people who were displaced after partition of Haryana and were temporarily settled in Kurukshetra. Mahatma Gandhi was scheduled to visit Kurukskhetra on 12th November 1947 and address 2.5 lakh Indian refugees camping there. But since he could not reach Kurukskhetra due to certain unavoidable reasons, an arrangement was made for Gandhiji’s live broadcast from All India Radio for them. Consequently, Gandhiji visited the Broadcasting House and addressed the refugees at 3.00 PM. To commemorate 50 years of this historic visit of the Father of the Nation to All India Radio, a function was organized at AIR premises on 12th November 1997 at 3.00 PM. Later on, in the year 2001, the day was officially declared as Public Service Broadcasting Day.
