On April 29 this year, in an exclusive story, TOI had highlighted in detail Singh’s love for radio and his collection. The story also mentioned how Singh got inspired by the PM’s radio programme in 2014 and started collecting different types of radio sets.
Talking about Singh’s efforts, Modi said, “In Mann Ki Baat, we talk about such initiatives that have led to major social changes.
Another achievement of Mann Ki Baat is that it has made radio more popular. I have received a letter from Ram Singh Bouddh ji from Amroha in Uttar Pradesh on ‘MYGOV’. He has been collecting radios for many decades. He says after Mann Ki Baat, peoples’ curiosity about his museum has increased…”
UP CM Yogi Adityanath also posted on ‘X’ about the PM mentioning Singh’s ‘radio museum’. “…This museum is a preservation of the heritage of radio lovers, which will give the coming generations an insight into the evolution of radio…”
Retired from the post of supervisor at the Warehouse Corporation of India, Singh spends most of his time with the radios he’s collected over the years, spending lakhs of rupees.
