Majboor Kisko Bola?” (Who Are You Calling Helpless?) is a radio-based community programme focused on labour welfare, human rights, and social equity, initiated in collaboration with BBC Media Action. The programme is implemented across 15 villages in the Murhu Block of Khunti District.
In each village, a Listener Group was formed to collectively engage with the programme. New radio episodes were broadcast every week, and following each episode, Listener Group members came together to discuss the themes, messages, and real-life relevance of the content. These discussions encouraged critical reflection, community dialogue, and collective understanding of labour rights and social justice issues.
The programme created a participatory platform that enabled community members to voice concerns, share experiences, and strengthen awareness on issues related to labour welfare and human rights at the grassroots level.
