Our Mission:

Many years ago, there was not a single radio station in the world that catered solely to the needs of the immense Panjabi population. Panjab Radio was created in the year 2000 in order to fill this colossal gap, for a 24 hour, permanent station that provided 100% Panjabi content.

Panjab Radio offers an eclectic selection of shows which cover, cultural, religious, social, community, entertainment and news, including a vast selection of Panjabi music; from the latest British Asian Bhangra to Folk songs fresh from Panjab.

Since its launch Panjab Radio has gone from strength to strength. What started off as a small dream; is now the most popular Panjabi radio stations in the world. Dedicated to helping the community, Panjab Radio has been part of a number of charity organisations that seek to better the world in which we live. For example Panjab Radio supported the ‘Nav Nirmaan Project’ which aimed to rebuild the homes of those individuals who were displaced in the 2001 devastating Gujarat earthquake, by raising over £200,000 through on air campaigns. A part of the money was also donated to NGO ‘Help the Aged’ in India to run a mobile medical unit in Jalandhar, Panjab.
