The logic for community radio (henceforth CR) in India is strong on constitutional, societal, cultural and developmental perspective. Freedom of expression and voice are considered as fundamental prerequisite for human development. India has a long tradition of exclusion of voicelessness. This article aims to address i) the inclusive communicative avenues created by CR’s for the historically excluded masses and their developmental issues precisely ii) what are the future challenges and intricate issues of sustainability of CR’s in Indian media landscape. Based on media ethnographic approach this study analyses the problem under investigation by locating voice poverty as a focal theoretical framework. The study concludes that CR’s are opening up new avenues for the large group of masses whose voices are historically muted to voice their own concerns inclusively. However, the article also explores certain crucial future challenges that are helpful in recognizing early caution for constructing inclusive strategies for the sustainability of CR in India and as well across the world.Keywords

The mission of achieving universal access to clean energy is still a crucial distant ambition particularly amongst the developing nations. However, progressive countries like India has a substantial concern in tumbling its reliance on fossil fuels and encouraging the use of renewable energy options to provide access to clean energy. India presents a favourable setting for accelerating the use and internalisation of bioenergy sources towards the path of clean energy for all. Almost 25 % of India’s energy arrives from bio resources, predominantly nearly 70 % of rural inhabitants relied on biomass resources to congregate their everyday energy requirements. In particularly, biogas is one of the emerging bioenergy resources in rural India. This study analyses present challenges and future scenarios in the context of biogas by using futures methods. The policy findings of this study not only demonstrate crucial drivers but will also help the government to achieve its ambitious mission clean energy for all.Keywords
