The Indian Army has established 88.4 FM Radio Sikkim Sundari, the first Border Village Community Radio Station in East Sikkim, aimed at improving communication in remote high-altitude border regions of Indian Army.

The initiative is part of efforts to address challenges faced by communities in remote areas of Sikkim, including geographic isolation, harsh weather conditions, and limited mobile and internet connectivity. The station is designed to provide timely and reliable information to local residents.

The radio service will broadcast local news, weather updates, government scheme information, and programmes related to agriculture, education, and community development. It will also promote regional culture and provide a platform for local youth to participate and develop communication skills.

The station was inaugurated in East Sikkim in the presence of senior officers of the Trishakti Corps, representatives of the civil administration, and members of the local community.

According to a senior military official, the initiative aims to improve communication access, support community engagement, and amplify local voices in remote border areas.
