World Radio Day is celebrated every year on February 13 to honor radio as a vital medium for communication, sharing information, and providing entertainment. It acknowledges the influence of radio in encouraging dialogue, supporting democratic values, and amplifying diverse voices. Initiated by UNESCO in 2011 and subsequently embraced by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013, this worldwide observance emphasizes the essential role that radio plays in society, especially in remote and underserved areas.
