 Abstract

Radio is an age-old medium of entertainment and advertising. The first radio advertisement was done by the American Telecommunications expert AT&T in 1922. Though Radio lacks the visual aspects of an advertisement, it is still a strong contender for advertising and promotional purposes. It is a perfect medium for regional advertising. The local saloons, real estate firms, bakeries, and even smaller establishments whose scope of customer coverage does not go beyond the city or town find radio as an excellent platform to advertise their brand, products, or services. The cost efficiency coupled with the pinpointed approach for their target audience is what makes the radio a go-to platform for local marketers. As radio comes as a basic product offering in automobiles and phones, the exposure to radio is more among the people who use cars for transit. Now the audio-only function in radio is certainly a challenge for marketers to impress the audience. As clutter is a common phenomenon associated with radio advertising, it becomes more challenging for advertisers to ensure attention, absorption, interpretation, and memorization of the brand name among the listeners. Hence, marketers have found newer ways of appealing to the listeners. The advancement of technology and creativity has paved the way for new strategies to attract the audience, carry the message, and influence them in their consumer behaviour.

 Abstract

The traditional education system in India has primarily focused on textbook knowledge while less on developing vocational knowledge and practical skills. NEP (National Education Policy) 2020 seeks to change this scenario by shifting the paradigm from a rote based academic approach to a skill- based education system as it recognizes the importance of vocational education and equips the students with the necessary skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. According to the policy, by 2025, at least 50% of learners in the school and higher education system shall have exposure to the vocational education for which a clear action plan with targets and timelines one has to develop. To achieve these objectives, secondary schools will have to collaborate with industrial training institutes (IITS), Poly techniques, Local Industry, etc. Skill labs are also necessary and needed to be setup in the schools like a hub and spoke model, which will allow other schools to use the facility. Main challenges in implementing these recommendations lies mainly in the budgetary allocation and capacity of vocational institutes and administrator. It is high time that the government starts mapping out the linkages between the demands of industry and supply of vocational courses so that skills can be align according to the jobs available. Alongside these challenges, there is also a need to consider the factor of digital literacy. In order to effective implement the recommendations in the NEP 2020; the government needs to learn from the existing inadequacies in its training programmes. The existence of skilled work force is beneficial to any of the society and it will lead India ahead in the economic development. A quality vocational education provided by skilled institutions/trainers will generate a young and efficient work force, which will contribute immensely to the progress of our nation.
