"One of the main tasks of Unesco has been to utilise radio for adult education in rural areas - One method has been developed in Canada, that of the rural radio service - It has also been used in India - The present work describes the transition from the experimental stage to largescale application in India, for the preparation of similar campaigns in Africa or elsewhere - As the title indicates, the first part is devoted to the extension of the rural radio service to the whole of India, while the second part deals with the training of radio experts in Africa." (Jean-Marie Van Bol, Abdelfattah Fakhfakh: The use of mass media in the developing countries. Brussels: CIDESA, 1971 Nr. 273, topic code 210.330)
