The distant rural areas will be able to listen to the programmes broadcasted on FM Rainbow here, as the I&B ministry has agreed to increase the capacity of its transmitter from 1 kW to 10 kW, Union Minister Sri Prakash Jaiswal said here today.
This proposition has been included in proposals for 12th five year plan and the approval is under process, Jaiswal said in a statement here.
