All India Radio to be now called Akashvani

Prasar Bharati has decided to refer to its radio services as 'Akashvani' instead of 'All India Radio'.

As per media reports, in an internal order Prasar Bharati CEO Gaurav Dwivedi has said that the decision was taken earlier but is being operationalised now.

The name Akashvani was reportedly proposed by Rabindranath Tagore in 1939.

Dwivedi's order for replacing AIR to Akashvani seeks immediate compliance.
