Written by 3MDR on January 10, 2025
Congratulations to 3MDR Tamil program’s Indian news reader Saranya Balakrishnan who recently received a volunteer recognition award from Julian Hill MP for 8 years of volunteer radio service!
Saranya has played an instrumental role in her community through her voluntary work as an Emcee in Melbourne, where she has hosted numerous cultural events and initiatives, creating a vibrant platform for people to gather and celebrate their heritage. Her contributions as a VJ at C-31 Tamil Oil and as a news reader for the Tamil community at Sanganatham 97.1 FM have been invaluable, offering a much-needed voice for the Tamil-speaking population in Melbourne. Additionally, her role as a Tamil News Anchor/Reporter at 3MDR 97.1 FM has allowed her to share important news and keep the community informed, ensuring that the Tamil diaspora remains connected with both local and global events.
