Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday extended his greetings to the nation on the occasion of World Radio Day and said "radio is a beautiful means of communication".
"On World Radio Day greetings to radio lovers. Radio is a beautiful means of communication that has touched several lives through the years," Modi tweeted.
"I salute the creativity and dedication of all those working with the world of the radio. Thank you for keeping us informed and entertained," he added.
Modi also said that his "Mann Ki Baat", a radio programme experience has been special to him as it has deepened his bond with people.
World Radio Day is observed every year on the February 13 to celebrate radio as a forum for entertainment and information, as a bridge of communication for remote communities and its role in empowering people.
