World Radio Day is an annual observance held on February 13th, which was proclaimed by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 2011. The day is meant to raise awareness about the importance of radio as a medium for information, education, and communication.

Radio remains one of the most widely used media platforms in the world, reaching billions of people every day. World Radio Day aims to highlight the unique power of radio to connect people, promote freedom of expression, and contribute to democratic debate and social justice.

Each year, World Radio Day has a different theme, and events are organized around the world to celebrate the day. The themes of the past few years have included “Radio and Sports”, “Radio and Diversity”, and “Radio and Sustainable Development”.
