Akashvani and Prasar Bharati, in collaboration with MyGov, have invited citizens to participate in a Signature Tune-Making Contest on the theme “Akashvani @90 – The New Rhythm of Bharat.” News On AIR reported that the contest aims to design iconic instrumental themes for specific Akashvani programmes.

MyGov Platform Opens Participation

The MyGov task page confirms that Akashvani, in collaboration with MyGov, is inviting citizens across India to participate in the contest. This gives creators a direct way to contribute to public broadcasting.

Why Signature Tunes Matter

A signature tune is not just music. It creates memory, identity, emotion, and recognition. Akashvani’s older tunes became part of India’s collective soundscape, and the new contest aims to create fresh audio identity for a modern audience.

Programme-Specific Themes

The contest seeks different musical moods for different programmes. For example, youth and sports themes may need high energy, while market and business programmes may need a professional and sophisticated sound.

Opportunity for Young Creators

Music students, independent composers, instrumentalists, and digital producers can use this platform to showcase talent nationally. It encourages citizen participation in cultural creation rather than limiting branding to closed institutions.

Akashvani’s Cultural Legacy

Akashvani has connected generations through news, music, drama, agriculture programmes, education, public messages, and regional content. A new signature tune can represent both tradition and modern Bharat.

Sound Should Spread Positivity

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches that speech, sound, and communication should guide people toward truth and welfare. Music and broadcasting can uplift society when used to spread knowledge, morality, and harmony.

Call to Action

Musicians and citizens should visit MyGov, read the rules, and submit original compositions. India’s public broadcasting sound can become richer when citizens participate creatively.
