Abstract |
Mathematics education is an area of concern in India as many students do not find mathematics interesting whereas many develop a psychological phobia towards the subject. Many students drop mathematics after grade X as mathematics is optional after grade X. Adults who had left mathematics after grade X continue to live with the same phobia for mathematics. The paper presents the highlights of a unique efforts introduced by students of Master of Mathematics Education program at Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi. Students of semester I. They introduced an on-line community radio series, titled, “Popularizing mathematics among masses” through the most humble medium of communication, namely, community radio.
