The erstwhile Medak district, now Sangareddy, had established the first community radio in the world — Sangam Radio at Machanoor near Zaheerabad in 2008 and it now caters to about 150 villages in the surrounding areas.

This time, another community radio has come up, in the district headquarters. Radio Manjeera 90.8 FM is a Sangareddy-based Community Radio Station under an NGO called Sister Nivedita Society. It started broadcasting programmes more than a year ago. The radio used to broadcast only two hours’ recorded programme every day due to insufficient/improper infrastructure. Now the station is ready with studio and equipment, capable of handling more programmes.
