News & Community Stories – Radio Chautari | Voice of the Community, Bridge of Connection

Telling Stories That Matter, Sharing Voices That Inspire

At Radio Chautari, we believe that every community has stories worth telling. Our News & Community Stories section is dedicated to amplifying the voices of everyday people, highlighting the challenges they face, the victories they achieve, and the unique cultural identity they carry.

Just as the traditional chautari serves as a gathering place for conversations and storytelling, Radio Chautari provides a modern platform where news and narratives meet—connecting communities, preserving culture, and inspiring change.

Our News Philosophy

Radio Chautari is not just about headlines; it is about community-centered journalism. We report with compassion, accuracy, and respect for local voices. Our news philosophy is based on three principles:

  1. Accessibility – News that reaches everyone, including those in remote or underserved areas.

  2. Relevance – Content that reflects the real issues, needs, and interests of local communities.

  3. Empowerment – Stories that not only inform but also inspire action and solidarity.
