Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The first radio programme in India was broadcast in 1923. During this period, radio was a new technology being introduced around the world. In India, it marked the beginning of a new era of mass communication, allowing information and entertainment to reach a wide audience. The choice 1923 is correct, as it signifies the year when the first official radio transmission took place in the country, setting the stage for the subsequent development of broadcasting infrastructure and services.

Answer 2

The first radio programme in India was broadcast in 1923. It was initiated by the Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC), which later became the All India Radio (AIR). Initially, radio broadcasts were limited to certain cities, and they played an important role in providing information and entertainment to the public.

• 1910 (A): Radio technology was in its infancy around this time, and no radio broadcast occurred in India in 1910.
• 1913 (B): Similarly, 1913 is too early for radio broadcasts in India.
• 1932 (D): While radio broadcasting expanded by 1932, the first broadcasts occurred in 1923.

Thus, the correct answer is 1923.
