SMART aims to democratize information through the radio, supplemented with a strong and sustained on-ground community engagement. In places where the radio does not reach, SMART uses narrowcasting to provide information at the doorstep. The radio station is run by the members of the community itself, thereby creating a sense of ownership and has earned credibility within the region and trust of the people.
