Imagine a doko-basket carrying a FM radio transmitter, a generator to support its power supply, a laptop, few microphones and a sound mixer. Welcome aboard a journey to Nepal's far-flung remote FM-Shadow regions as the Doko Crew trek and transmit with local people's voice.

Doko Radio is a Micro Community Level Mobile Radio Unit traveling across remote villages in Nepal outside the outreach of FM Radio Signals and other modes of modern communications. Doko Radio greets these curious listeners every morning from 7-10 AM with the voice, songs and opinions of the local people themselves.

Under present survey, FM-Shadow Regions fall in the mountainous regions in the Nepali middle-hills and sparse villages in the Himalayan terrains. The Doko Radio crew treks and make base in these villages for a week or more. The crew socializes with local villagers and disseminates few hundred simple FM Radio sets to each household in the area-of-reach of the mobile transmitter.

Local political leaders, civil society elders, women, children, youth, farmers are invited to join in the live group voicing their political and cultural opinion, ideas, commentary on local issues of gender and caste equalities, changing cultural values, children and youth, education, agriculture and indigenous technology as such.

This mobile broadcasting and multimedia unit informs the rural communities on democratic practices and their expectation to the current political settlement, peace pacts and process to constituent assembly and assembly polls while other program packages produced on-location is also aired in a simple and linguistically and indigenously friendly format to these new listeners.

Being closer than before with their issues, leaders, elders and technology, Doko Radio is also a myth-breaker of the belief that Radio is governed by the state. The more the deprived communities get to hear their own voices in the radio based in their own villages, the more they are encouraged to keep a continuity of this mode of communications.

Doko Radio assists in initiating local debate on issues of the grassroots. Doko Radio is the extension of the radio and technology beyond the fixed studios in the urban cities and towns. Doko being the most symbolic and vital element of Nepali rural agricultural life support-system of livelihood, is converted into the ultimate icon of a Mobile Micro Community Broadcasting.
